The Erie Railroad Company Cutting Down Its Working Force. A BUCKEYE BRIDE COMMITS SUICIDE rfrr.ciAL telbguam to the diefatch.1 Salem, Feb. 10. A wholesale swindling scheme came to light here this morning. Somebody has attempted to get checks cashed by some of the prominent merchants of. Salem which were supposed to be signed by other merchants. In one particular it was a very clever forgery. Some men, on their way to work found a lot of checks, fully signed, torn in pieces, together with two $10 bills. It is evident that the party, whoever he was, bad become frightened from some cause or other, attempted to de stroy them, and in mUtake nearly destroy ed the money also. While your correspondent was in the First National Bank this morning the officials were trying to place the pieces of checks to gether. While doing bo, Charles Snyder, a prominent drysoods merchant, came in and said that, while absent from bis store yesterday a boy came in and presented a letter for him (together with a check fully signed), which was retained by his clerk, but not paid. The letter ran thus: "Please cash the inclosed check and send by bearer, as I have cashed so many money orders to-day that I am short of nionev. C B. DORWAET, P. M. Mr. Dorwart, postmaster, was seen this morn ing, and be knew nothing abont it. It is also evident frum the money found with the torn checks that somebody has cashed one of the checks for SCO. as all the pieces show that they w ere all for the same amount. The scheme is, no doubt, being worked In other towns. THBirry alliakce meit. In Lawrence County They Give Merchant a Monopoly of Their Trade. rtrtciAt. telegram to the dispatch. New Castle, Feb. 10.

They Give Their Reasons. Below are given ten reasons why Cham berlain's Cough Remedy is the best: 1. It will cure a severe cold in lets time than any other treatment. 2. It does not suppress a cough or cold, but loosens and relieves it. 3. It relieves the lungs, which is of great importance in treating a cold. 4. It is the only remedy that will cause the expulsion of mucus from the air cells of the lungs. 5. It renders the mucus less tenacious and easier to expectorate. 6. If freely used as soon as the first symp toms appear, it will cure a severe cold in a single day. 7. It will prevent croup and avert all danger and anxiety arising from that dreaded disease. 8. It has cured thousands of cases of croup, aud careful inquiry fails to discover a single case in which it has ever failed. 9. It does not contain opium, chloro form, nor any other injurious substance. There is not the least danger in giving it to children. 10. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, and freeing the system of morbid matter, accumulated by cause of the cold. 50 cents per bottle. wsu It Is New Life for Me Now.

SOME CLOTHING FACTS At this season of the year we would rather have $i in cash than $2 in merchandise. We have more merchandise than we would like or intend to carry over. To this end we have made, in all departments, some sweeping and enormous reductions. In no department has the loss- to us been greater than in our Overcoat Department. You have not been a bit slow to appreciate the values in Overcoats we have been giving during the past week or so. Now, we are going to make A LAST GRAND RALLY! And offer you the balance of the stock at very tempting figures. The winter's not half over yet, and even if there's only half a season left for you to wear an Overcoat in, you must remember that at present prices you are paying only about half the usual retail price of the garment. YES, OVERCOATS. r From the finest specimen of the tailor's art down to the cheapest serviceable Overcoat made, are each and all greatly reduced in priie. In many cases you'll find the former and the present prices on the'same ticket. But we don't ask you to judge by the marked price; we simply ask you to compare the goods with what you have been accustomed to pay for a similar article and the advisability of buying will be come apparent. We're always lowest in price when quality is taken into account and a fair comparison made. This is the last call. The last reduction has been made. About the only way now left to lower the price would be to give you the Overcoats, and we're not quite pre pared to do that AAM0A066 GUSKY' 00 300 TO 400 MABKET ST. frll-wr fyij2KhBMBXBXiUJEMVwHXJH4Ll''.AiilB1''"" KV (( rt i l. tf "!0l Can you 1 &-r$DA&MWmM m .iYir'i:;frmmzs 1 mmLBZMZ3Z s ;ss00jmmmmx i no Arflfcrp'& i?NniBsu bfmetfwi i -mwm . itmnaiw i I for Coughs, Colds and Consumption is beyond question the greatest of all I Modern Remedies V It will stop a Cough in one night."
