BANK VAULT BLOWN AT WHEELING
A Bold but Unsuccessful Attempt Made to Loot
Bank Last Wednesday Night

ST tuition we learn that bold a
tempt was made to rob the Farmer
and Merchants bank at Wheelin
about midnight Wednesday. Th
men who attempted the robber
broke into the blacksmith shop O
Henry Ishmael, just east of tn
bank, and stole tools with which t,
drill a hole in the vault doors t,
Place the nitro -glycerine. TIL,
Charge when touched off shook tn,
buildings for several blocks around
the bank, but did not open thu
vault. Instead of the lock break
ing, the door bulged out by the ex.
piosion. The robbers failed to open
, tie safe and no money was taken
After waiting iabout thirty min
utes to see if the explosion would
arouse. the citizens of the town, a
second charge was placed in the
brlck wall around the vault, which
is about two and one half feet thick.
Th,s explosion made hole large
enough for a man to enter the
vault. The robbers at this time
rldoubtedly were scared away from
t. cir work, as the safe in the vault
vas unmolested and the tools used
were found lying on the floor where
trey were last used.
The attempted robbery was not
discovered until Cashier r. A.
Tharp came down to the bank
Thursday morning about six
O'Clock to open up the building.
When he arrived the front doors of
tie building were standing wide
open. The locks were unmolested
and it is thought skeleton keys were
used to effect an entrance to the !,
bank.
Cashier Tharp stated that no
money was taken, but the robber, /
after securing access to the vault,
ransacked a number of private box
es which were in the vault, although
ii is thought no valuable papers
were taken. /
Two suspicious looking men were
discovered in the waiting room at
TIE depot by the night operator, j
Harry Clem, but he did not get a
good description of them.
Shortly after these men were
seen they left the depot and no clue
has been obtained as to their
whereabouts.
The supposition among the offic-
ers of the bank is that the burglary
was committed by amateurs, as the
safe was just inside the door of the
b vault and was not molested.
1t is also evident that it was com 6
nltted by some one familiar with {
tie premises of the bank and of the {
blacksmith shop nearby, from which
the tools were taken. The drill
and sledge hammer, which were l
found near the vault in the bank,
we're said to have been secreted by
Mr.. Ishmael, from whose shop they
Tere taken, in such a way that G
hey could be found only by some y
,aa very familiar With fbo ,,1ooo

ALMOST A SOLID GORE.

Il have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had a skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of age.
Her father had spent a fortune on
her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old
Or. G. suggested that he try the
Cuticura Remedies which he did.
When he commenced to use it the
child was almost a solid scab. He
had used 1t about two months and
the child was we'll. / was there when

and then returned home and stayed
two weeks and then went back and
stayed with them two weeks longer,
and when l went home l could hardly

skin was as soft as a baby's with

practically, the end of the

boats, and did their best. The crew
was composed chiefly of Lascars-and
you can't trust Lascars. There was
trouble. Fortunately, the wind chose
to depart as violently as it had come;

She belonged to Williamson the

Anyway, there they were on a

Jul reply is that Perunai is both a tonic an acatarh remedy. Indeed. here can

WEIGHING OF PLANETS.
They Are Estimated as MASSES" by
the Astronomers.

They Are Estimated as MASSES" by
the Astronomers.
II a ham weighing thirty pounds
were taken up to the moon and weigh
ed there, the "pull"-the attractive
force Of the moon upon the ham
would amount to five pounds. There
would be another weight of the ham
for the planet Mars, n yet another
on the sun. A ham weighing thirty
pounds at New York ought to weigh
some 800 pounds on the suns surface.
Hence the astronomer does not speak
of the weight of a planet, because that
would depend upon the place where it
was weighed. But he speaks of the
mass of the planet, which means how
much planet there is, no matter where
1t might be weighed.
At the same time we might, without
any ineXactness, agree that the weight
of a heavenly body should be fixed by
the weight it would have in New York.
AS we could not imagine a planet in
New York, because it may be larger
than the earth itself, what we are to
imagine is this. Suppose the planet
could be divided into a million million
million equal parts and one of these
parts brought to New York and
weighed. We could easily find it's
weight in pounds or tons. Then multi
ply this by a million million million,
and we shall have a weight of the
planet. This would be equivalent to
what astronomers might take as the
mass Of the planet.

Safe, Sure and speedv.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no ~deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
CURED. They are speedy in their &C.
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles. nerves and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most m%eritorious articles have been
extensively initiated, therefore always
make sure and get the genuine.

YOU nave 10 go Back to William the

The origin of the expression wind
fall" which is used when one wishes
to refer to a streak of good luck, dates
back to the time of William the Con-
queror. AT that time it was a criminal
offense to cut timber in the British for
ests without royal consent. All that
could be gathered for fuel or other
purposes was such limbs as the wind
should happen TO break and cast to
the ground.
On his acCoGnr the peasants hailed
a great windstorm as a blessing, be-
cause it was apt to cast enough OF
"windfalls' for winter firewood. From
this old-time forestry custom
the modem application of the express
sion. AT one time it was decreed that
only such limbs and whole trees as
should fall during the three summer
months could be used as tirewood. but

One of the sources of rheumatism
is from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon a. improper food is aban-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu.
larly, digestion is made strong, the or.
