There is more catarrh IN this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last few years was suppose to
be 1ncurable. For great many years doc
tors announced it a local disease and pre-
scr1bed local remedies, and by constantly
falling TO cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh TO be constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

sututional cure on the market. 1t is taken

A young minister settled over a
small country parish was instructed
by his parishioners to procure piano
for their use. He did so, telling the
dealer to charge the bill for rental to
the secretary Of the parish. When
the bill amounted to $50. the society
Being unable to pay 1t as we'll as the
salary Of the pastor, the music dealer
dunned the minister for the money,
telling him that he assumed the re-
sponsibility. The latter replied that he
never assumed the responsibility of
another, having all he could do to pay
his own bills. whereupon the dealer
threatened TO size him.
\ short time after our friend re-
Ceived letter from n New York col
lection agency, to which as well as
several following he paid no atten-
tion until the following short but def
mite letter came:

MURRAY 1heater.

ming the excellent bill now showing at
the Murray will come to close. This
show has given excellent satisfaction
throughout the week and good crowds
have been the rule.
Dillse & Geyer have comedy
sketch that would be difficult to sur
pass. Miss Geyer is a very handsome
young lady with good voice and with
great ability, whilst her partner Dill
lac is certainly one good comedian.
Jack Miller with his songs and stor-
les has more than made good as have
Ration G LaTour with their singing
and musical act.
Enough can not be said about the
Bimbos in their comedy acrobatic act.
Never before has there been such a
knock about act in Richmond. Their
Misunderstanding is a wonderful eXhi-
bitiOn of strength while their other
feats are nothing short of marvellous.
The comedy is good and keeps the
audience in an uprOar even while they
are fearing for the safety of the art
lists.
For next week an excellent bill has
been secured, headed by vaudeville's
greatest novelty A-Bee Bas post card

FOUR ROB TRA|Nj
THREE CAPTURED2
Daring Holdup on Northern
Pacific in Dakota-Many
Shots Were Fired.

Grand Forks, n. d., July 22.-Train
No. ., east bound. North Coast limited
on the Northern Pacific railroad, was
held up by four masked robbers near
Buffalo, n. d., late last night. The
robbers secured about $500 from the
passengers, shot Engineer S. p Olson
of Fargo twice, and escaped in an
automobile.
From St Cloud, Mimi, this after
noon came the word that Detective j.
j. Davis had captured three of the
men at Melrose. The men are said
to have had part of the booty in their
possession. A fourth man escaped
The hold-up was daring and showed
that the men were no amateurs.
When the train stopped at the high
bride at Valley City the men boarded
1t and went into the day coach.
Heavily armed and shooting reck-
lessly to intimidate the passengers,
they first lined the train crew up
and then proceeded to search the
passengers.
A sleeping car next was entered
and in order to awaken the occupants
shot was fired down the aisle, mar
rowly missing the head Of one of the
passengers and imbedding itself in
the woodwork.
One Of the Hold-up Men Shot.
The robbers went through the OBJ
servatiOn car, the sleeper next to it,,
and part of sleeping car ahead.
While they were at work in the sec
ond sleeper, Conductor Helgard fired
from the first sleeper at oneof the
desperadoes standing guard at the
door, and it is believed hit him on the
abandoned their work and made for
the head of the train.
They climbed out of the diner, bag
gage, and the express car to the en-
CINE, ordered Engineer Olson to stop
the train so they could get off, and
when he refused fired two shots at
him. Olson then stopped the train,
and the men jumped and ran out into
the darkness.
Posses started out of Buffalo fifteen
minutes after news of the robbery
was reported and every surrounding
town and city in the northwest was
telephoned or telegraphed to look out
for the robbers.
A peculiar part of the robbery is
that the express and mail cars We're
not molested by the men.
1t Is not known what amount the
cars contained. but usually the North
Coast limited carries rich hauls, and
it Is thought the men took longer in
going through the coaches than they
had planned on, or they would have
tried their hand at blowing the ex-
press safe and rifling the registered
mail pouches.

Windows.

Utility is the mother of nearly all
decorative features. Windows were
first designed to give light. The his
tory of glass shows that the useful
has taken decorative prominence. In
old colonial houses glass in small
panes was used probably because it
was cheap. The sash was divided by
small pieces Of wood. called mullions.
After many years glass came to be
used in large sizes, and of recent
years it has been the practice to have
but a single sheet. often in very
large size. of plate glass. These are
permissible only where the view war
rants their use. The average house
or cottage is better without them. as
they suggest the show window Of a
shop rather than a home.-Argonaut.
