Modest Claims Often Garry the Most
Conviction.


When Maxim, the famous gun
Inventor placed his gun before a
committee OF judges. he stated its
carrying power to be much below
what he felt sure the gun would
accomplish. The result of the trial
was therefore a great surprise, in
stead OF disappointment. 1t is the
same with the manufacturers Of
ChamDerlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. They do not
publicly boast OF all this remedy will
accomplish, but prefer to let the
users make the statements. What
they do claim, is that it will posi-
lively cure ..diarrheoa, dysentery,

Loss of Trust Company OF America
Continues to Grow Larger

New York. April 29.-The big bond
robbery in which the Trust Company
of America was the victim. continues
an absorbing subject in the financial
districts where every development is
eagerly scrutinized-
The robbery at first put down as a
$4,000 affair, has steadily grown I'M
til today it appears that securities ag-
gregati ting 100000 in value had been
taken by William o. Douglass. the
bond clerk now under arrest These
figures are reached as the result of an
interview given by member of the ex-
ecutiye committee of the trust company
who said that it took $165.0OO TO re-
deem the securities hypOthecated with
brokers for loans by o. NJ. bennett,
the robbery. and that the securities
were pledged for less than one-thfrd
of their value. He also said that il
was $500. 600 and not $4,000 worth of
securities that were hidden in Broker
Dement'S bed at the Manhattan club.
Taken at the executive committee
mans own figuring that Douglass and
bennett realized only a PARTIES than
a third on the average-it can be seen
that the $165.O00 that the trust COM
pany has lost on the outstanding Sc
curiJies represents a value of nearly
100000. Adding the $500, 600 found
in the bed of Broker bennett makes
100000. What has become OF the
unexplained. The trustee who talked
that much of this had been lost in
speculation, he felt sure that the pair
had a snug sum tucked away some

COFFEE DELlRIUM
Child Lies Awake Nights and Talks
to Himself.

To be active during the day and
keep in good health requires sound
sleep at night
This is especially true of children
when mental and physical develop
ment is more rapid than later on.
An intelligent mother discovered
that coffee was harmful, not only to
herself aud husband, but that it was
doubiy so to her boy. She writes:
For more than twenty-five years 1
have been a great coffee drinker;
have often tried to give it up because
IL made me nervous, consupated- and
1 could not go to sleep for several
hours after retiring.
About six months ago I finally
quit coffee and began to use Postum

sleep all night and do not get those
nervous spells. While under the cof-
fee habit I was pale and sallow; now

who have been greatly benefited by

to the grand new school house. Mrs
C. c. Nicholson. as Lizzie Whitney,
was one of the proud and happy chill
dren who took part in this grand
march.
The Quincy school was the pride of
the town and for those days was a
model of convenience and excellence.
It was heated with a furnace and was
adorned with a cupola, and a bell
which continued TO ring and call sue
cessive generations of children TO
school
One of the first excitements in the
new building was fire. The cold air
duct was of wood and ran under the
floor and in some way a fire started
in this air passage which slightly
damaged the woodwork. This was
before the day of fire drills and the
frightened children scampered out of
the building pelImell. There was no
paid fire department, sa all the neigh
bors Joined the quickly formed bucket
brigade and went to work with a will
to save their school house from de-
struction.
The first principal of Quincy school
was Prof John Smith, who came to
North Topeka with his bride, Mrs.
Kate E Smith, who succeeded her
husband as teacher and later for
many years had charge of the pri-
mary department of this school, re-
signing a few years ago to make her
home in Kansas City with her SON.

way of authority to get into the house
and look for Pigg. When this au-
thority came in the person of a
couple of members OF the Kansas City
police force a search of the house was
made but Pigg was not there. Sheriff
Wilkerson believes that P1gg was IN
the house when he and Brown arrived
there and made his escape through
the rear.
Those who are insisting that Pigg
will give himself up say that the rea-
son he avaded the officers on Satur-
day night was because he did not
want to be brought back to Topeka
then and run the chance of having to
lay in Jail over Sunday. as it would
have been hardly possible for him to
have secured such bail as might be
