BANK OWNERS TO
MAKE LOSS GOOD
Directors of Lemaster Institu-
ton Say Not a Bank Nor
a Person Will Lose

Chambersburg, Pa, Dec, 7.-Direct-
ors of the Lemaster National Bank
stated yesterday that not a bank or a
person outside of their institution will
lose cent by the mismanagement
of Cashier Enos d. Myers in the fall
ure of Clyde Coon. the contractor, for
the work on the Fort Louden and
McConnellsburg railroad. and whose
receipts from the bank caused 1t to
close. United States Examiner Shepp
is in charge and with Myers and
President Neikirk is going over the
books carefully. The bank will reopen
for business as quickly as the Comp
troller of the Currency will permit.
The directors are agreed that the
loss will not reach 100000. The
shareholders and directors are all men
OF wealth and probity and declare they
win cover every loss at once.
Against Enos d. Myers, in the pro-
thonotary's office here there had been
entered judgments aggregating $40, 900
and against his brother Elmer more
than $37, Enos Myers will become
a voluntary bankrupt as soon as the
papers can be prepared.
The supposition is that Coon is now
in New York city.
All work on the Fort Louden and
McConnellsburg railroad, for which
Clyde Coon was contractor, has been
stopped,

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of wo-
men have kidney and bladder trouble
and never suspect 1t.
Women's complaints often prove
to be nothing else but kidney trouble,
or the result of kidney or bladder dis
ease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other
organs to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with
pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness and may be
respondent and irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician
prescription, obtained at any drug
store, restores health to the kidneys
and is just the remedy needed to
overcome such conditions.

Immediately from any drug store.
However. If you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
TO DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton,
N. y. for sample bottle. When

FREAKS OF A GENIUS.
The Man Who Smashed Glasses In a
 Ean&on Tavern.

The Man Who Smashed Glasses In
 Lan5on Tavern.
 One day a bulky. tall. pale faced gen. rlemon with hushy, restless eyebrows entered a London tavern. The waiter did not ask him for his order, but i'm. mediaucIy brought him plate of bread and cheese and a glass of ale. Having consumed his lunch, the guest sat up right in his chair for awhile. leaning his hands on heavy walking cane and staring blanEty at the opposite wall as if in dream.
 Of a sudden he gave a start. He seized the empty glass and dashed it to the floor with all his might, smash ing 1t to atoms. He then reflected for moment, laid a coin on the table, got up and left the inn without a word to any one.
 After his departure another guest had the curiosity to ask the waiter whether the gentleman who had just gone out was not wrong in his head, Quosh the waiter:
 "Oh, no. sir! That's nothink unusual with i'm, sir 'Ee's broke maybe a 'undred glasses since 'e's been a-comin' 10 this 'ouse. D don't seem to know 1t when e does 1t. E just gifts a-thinkin' and seems to git hangry at somethink e's thinkin' about. It's the great Lord Macaulay, sir."-St. James Gazette.
