The best thought of the world is being given to thosubjjet. 3' is easier and better to prevent than to j. It has been fully demonstrated thr.t pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be pre vented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pnemuonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observ ed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneu monia. Thi- has b -.'ii fnlly proven iu many thousands of cases in which this remedy ha> been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with im plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re sults from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it is suddenly dis covered that there is fevt rand difficulty in breathing aud pains in the chest,then it is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It al ways cures. For sale by Panles «fe Co. Druggist- 1 . Death of R. M. Buckingham- Robert M.

Willis Grangei's first appearance in this city in "Gypsy Jack" will take place at tho Opera House on Monday evening next Tho plot tells a thrill ing story of a young gypsy, who upon reaching manhood discovers that he is not the son of his alleged gypsy' par ents, but'had been abducted when a child, and that his father is a very wealthy nobleman, of whose estat< > ho is tho sole heir. On the dea'h of his 9 WILLIJ CHANCES. real parent he claims and establishes his rights to a valuable estate. This is the main plot of t :, e piay, but ether themes are contained therein. The 1 story is written in a very consistent style, and is full of very exciting iu : cidonts. Shakef-pearo's genius was at its best : in his creation of tho marvelous char- I actors in this play. How skillful is j the contrast of the Nurse's subtle : humor—a masterpiece of comic cliar : acterization—with Mercutio's scoffing ! cynicism, a creation*'of high comedy, | with the fragrant innocence of Juliet, | aud tho romantic enthusiasm of her lover, Romeo. All the very best feat ures of dramatic 'composition and ! poetry are to be found in Romeo and | Juliet. The interest is absorbing, the pathos most deeply touching, while ! tho humorous element,never too prom inent,affords that contrast so essential ■ to a really great drama. Tho character of Friar Laurence is well worth study, ;so is that of Lady Capulet, Paris, | mirth provoking Peter ; the starving Apothecary ;the lierv Tybalt, old Cap clet, noble Benvolio and the lesser I characters. This beautiful play must i always highly interest those who aro ' not dead tj the noblest passions of our : nature or blind to the greatest beauties ( poetry can create. Simvelle's prodnc j tion carries all new scenery complete, I properties and electric effects and will be given in its entirety at the Opera House on Wednesday evening next. "A Daughter's Devotion" is the title of the now play which Mr. J. R. Stirling has prepared for his new star, Miss Alma Stirling. The scenes are laid in the Pennsylvania oil fields, and in New York city. The piece is full of interest and is picturesque and artistic. Better Than Gold. "I was troubled for several years with chronic indigestion aud nervous de bility," writes F. J. Green, of Lancas ter, N. 11. "No remedy helped me un tl I began using Electric Bitters, which did me more good than all the medi cine I ever used. They have alsj kept my wife in excellent health f«r years.

Mr •«s • «». ■ -2; JS ■ **■ **• -» ST FIENDISH WORK OF ROBBERS MIFFLINBURG, Pa., Fob. 11.—A j search of the criminal records ot Union j county for many years furnishes uo parallel to a bold and daring robbery j which was committed about a mile I west of here,between 10 and 11 o'clock last night. The amount of booty se cured was small, but the robbery was attended by such outrageous conduct | that tho entire community, within a J radius of many miles, is up in arms j and excitement is intense. ROBBERS LOCKED DOORS. The victim of the robbers was Ben- , nevillo Mech, aued .">0 years, who lives alouo on his farm. Aho.it 10 o'clock last night Mech went from tlie house 1 to the barn to attend to work he had uegl'Tti 1 when sholteiing the stock earlier in tlm evening. When here- j turned to the lionc, about a half hour j later, th" rear door which he had left open was closed and barred. After , sunn Little difficulty lie managed to open the side door, but as h" stopped j into the dining room he was confront ed by three masked men. After exhib iting lire arms and warning him that any attempt to summon assistance would mean his instant death,the rob bers blindfolded th 1 old man and de manded that In* reve u the place where ho kept, his money. BEAT AGED MAN INSENSIBLE. Refusing to comply with their re quest the robbers drew their "black jacks'' and began to beat him. Mech struggled with his assailants until they beat him in an unconscious state, after which they bound and gagged him secure. TIED HIM TO THE BED. Carrying their prisoner upstairs the robbers tied him to the bed with tho cord taken from a bed in another room. After taking these precautious to pro vert their being disturbed the entire house from cellar to garret, throwing tho contents of bureau drawers and closets on tho floor. Mech always had a great fear of robbers and never kept more than a dollar in the house, and for this reason they only got six cents,which was ill histrouser pocket. TOOK HORSE AND DROVE AWAY Leaving Mech tied to the bed, still unconscious the robbers took tho best horse, harness and buggy in the barn and drove away. About <5 o'clock Wed nesday morning tho horse and buggy was found standing at tho barn on Slifer's '"arm midway between Milton and Lewisburg. NEIGHBOR HEARD CRIES. After regaining consciousness old man Mech managed to work tho gag from his mouth but was unable to un fasten tho bonds that secured him to the bed. For over an hour Mech laid in bed and cried for help until he was neatly exhausted. C. H. Troutman, a near neighbor, who was passing *the house, hoard the cries for help and went to his assistance. Mech was handled so roughly that ho is under the caro of a physician, but will re cover. MECH HAS MONEY IN BANK. Mech is well-to-do and has a largo bank account in this place. Five sus picious characters were seen in this place late yosterday afternoon, but further than this there are no clues. Tho community is so enraged that it will go hard with tho robbers if they aro caught in this vicinity. Vigilant committees have been formed and talk of lynching is heard. Escaped an Awful Fate. Mr. 11. Haggins of Melbourne, Fla., writes, "My doctor told me I had Con sumption and nothing conld be done for me. I was given up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, in- I d teed me to try it. Results were start ling. lam now on the road to recovery and we owe it to Dr. King's New Dis covery. It surely saved my life." This great cure is guaranteed for all throat and lung diseases by Paules & Co. Drng gists. Price 50c & 112 1.00. Trial bottles free Drove to Sunbury.

DOUBTFUL RUMMORS. ■ And Still Scores of Danville People Ac ept Them as Facts. I The published statement of some stranger residing in a faraway place | may be true enough, but it is generally accepted as a doubtful minor. How can ; jit be verified! The testimony which i follows is convincing proof because it comes from a resident of Danville. Mrs. Nelson Holister of Oil Mill St.. j says:—"My son John was always tron- i j bled with his kidneys,and I was told by | one doctor when we lived Lewisburg i that he would always have bother with I them. He had pains in his back, could ! not sleep and the kidney secretions were annoying and embarassing. There were 1 pains in his head and he was depressed | and dead tired the whole time.

Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. — All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. fThe kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess cf uric acid in the blood, due to neglected | kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady ! heart beats, and makes one feel as thought j they had heart trouble, because the heart is I over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary ; troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, | but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin | ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is I soon realized.
