MONTOUR AMERICAN FRANK C. ANGLE, Proprietor. Danville, Pa., Jan 7 1904. WHOLESALE ROB BERY PLANNED LEWI3BURG, Pa., Jan. 6. —Mrs. Valeria Myers, a wealthy widow,who resides with her daughter on the main ftreet in this place, was brutally as saulted by a robber at an early hour thin morning Last night Mrs. Mvers an! her daughter began to clean their large and quite valuable collection ot fiilvei ware for a party which they intern! giving Friday Bight. When they re tired for the night they left all of tin silverware 011 the kitchen table. Early this morning Mrs Myer- lit mi a uoiee in the kitchen anil wont down stairs to investigate. She found the rear kitchen door wide open and other evidences that some one had broken 11 during the night. While in the kitch en she heard a noise in the hallway and thinking it was bt rdaughter rill ed to her, at the same time striking a match. Receiving no reply Mr My ers struck a second match and tins time saw a man several feet distant, who advanced toward her and stru-'k her a stinging blow in the face, fell ing her to the floor before she make an outcry. The woman, how ever, fought plockily for nearly five minutes and the robber rctri ated, jus as Mrs Myers' daughter was coming down the front stair steps. When Mrs. Myers struck the second match she thought die recognize I flit man. The initials in a hat fouud in the ; .11 way afterwards has confirmed her belief and a warrant has been is sued for the man,who is a well-known character about town. A pooketbook containing a dollar and a half in sin ill change and a Reading mileage book was all that was taken. The railroad authorities have beeii notified to lift the book when it is presented. The robber made every preparation to take all of the silverware with hirn. Two large coats taken from a rack in the hall were plac ed 011 the kitchen floor and a number of the pieces were placed in them,but the arrival of Mrs. Myers on the scene no doubt spoiled his plans.

The body of a man frozen still' was found yesterday morning in a box car which was run under tho chutes at the Auchincloss colliery of the P. L. & W , at Nanticoke, to receive a con signment of coal. There was nothing on the remains to indicate who the fellow was audit is presumed that lie was a nomad. The car had been run under the chutes and the loaders opened the door so that coal could be allowed to enter, when the man's body was found lying in one corner. The remains -were scantily clad and it was very evident that, it was the body of some poor un fortunate who had crawled into tin ear to have a place to sleep. The ex treme cold penetrated the car and froze the man to death without a doubt After searching the clothes to find if there was any means of identifica tion the body was placed on a caboose aud taken to the company's yar I at Kingston. It was the body of a man about thirty-five years of age. AFTERMATH OF THE COLD WAVE There were many badly swollen cars along with bursted water pipes and flooded kitchens to be seen yesterday as the aftermath of the unprecedented cold wave. It is safe to say that at least fifty per cent, of our residents were to some extent inconvenienced by frozen wat er pipes. There were places where the floor was not only flooded hut the walls were drenched with water caus ing the paper to come off Not a few houses owing to the damage wrought present a most deplorable appearance and are at least in part rendered un inhabitable. The largest number, especially those whose hydrants are out of doors,are without water on the premises. The pipes aro frozen at same point between the hydrant and the water main ; at places they have burst and the water oozing to the sur face of the ground forms a nia.-s of ice. The plumbers can not begin to met t all the demands upon them. The I" t thpy can do is to attend to the mi -t urgent cases, leaving the oth rs until the rush is over Will Not Pay Scaip Bounty The Commissioners of \orthniuber land County have tent noti— to all parts of that county that they will in the foture pay no bounties on tin scalps of foxes, minks or any other wild animals, because the a t of iS«i7 and the amendment to the act of lSH'.i has been declared uncon^litution il ' the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania.

During the French revolution Mm*, de Four and Mine. Breton, two frl«nds, found themselves on opposite sides. Mine, de Four's husband U>ok sides with the revolutionists, while M. Br* ton was a royalist One day Mine. Bre ton caine hastily from her chateau and told her friend that young Victor Bre ton was to be arrested An arrest during the reign of terror meant death. The young man must be concealed, and the two women hurried ly consulted as to bow this could be best accomplished. Mme. de Four final ly agreed that he should come to her house, provided he could be taken thi-re without being seen. But how was this to be done? It WHS morning, and as the arrest was liable to take place that afternoon he must go In broad day light. In fact, the revolutionary com mittee had him already under surveil lance till they could make other Impor tant arrests and find time to attend to his case. Therefore, since the mothef and her friend could not wait for dark ness, some disguise was essential, aud as the boy was only twenty, had no beard, but did have a pair of pink cheeks, they decided to put blm Into girl's clothes, \oung Breton, having donned feminine attire, walked down the road, passing "citizens" who were watching to see that he did not leave the house. Mme. de Four picked hlrn up in her carriage, and he drove with her to her chateau. Once there, he was Introduced as Mme. de Four's niece. The risk Mme. de Four was running In concealing a royalist kept her in an agony of fear, for If discovered she would fall under the ban of the revo lutionists. She would have better tak en her husband or at least her daugh ter into her confidence. Louise de Four was only eighteen, but was far beyond her years in good sense. Be sides, women are far better fitted for aiding and abetting such concealment than men. Madame'9 keeping her se cret from I»uise resulted In Its getting to the revolutionists. I.oulse spoke to a frleud about her cousin, wondering why she had never heard of her be fore and why she always kept her room. This friend told the police. One evening there was a stormy scene at the De I-'ours" M.de Four came home and told his wife that he was suspected of harboring young Bre ton. Madame confessed to her bus band, and.the danger threatening the whole family being of the greatest mo ment, Louise was called Into the con ference. She saw at once that in her Ignorance she had put the hounds on the scent. But now that she knew all she proved the most fertile of any of them In expedient. She laid a plan and at once put it in operation. It was Just after dusk that a corporal and six men, accompanied by n woman, reached the De Four chateau. The lamps were lighted, but turned low, "Corporal," said M.de Four, "proceed with your search. The premises are at your service, and if any royalist Is hiding here 1 hope you will find him." "H'rn!" said the corporal, who knew well who was suspected. "Snintnon the Inmates of the chateau." This was done, and when all were as sembled the corporal at once turned his attention to the niece who hud lately come and who w as present with the others. "Who is this person?" asked the cor poral. "My niece, Julie de Four," replied Mme. de Four. "And this?" "My daughter." "Mme. ltciiaud," sard the corporal to the woman who had accompanied him, "take Mile. Julie de Four aside and see If she Is a woman." The woman called the niece to one end of the room and ordered her to un button her dress from the throat. "What!" she exclaimed. "Is It really BO? She's a woman." "By gar! Who has put us to ail this trouble for nothing?" exclaimed the corporal. "If it Is any one lu tills house," said M.de Four with dignity, "I demand to be informed who he or she Is!" "Monsieur need not sußpect any one here. The Information cauie from the outside. I am sorry to have troubled so good a friend to the cause. Mon sieur, I bid you good evening." With that he led his men and the woman, Uenaud. away As soon aa they had gone M.and Mme. de Four, Louise and the niece went upstairs and entered a room for conference. She who had been Louise took the hand of her who had been the niece and said: "A thousand thanks, mademoiselle. I owe you my life!" "Yes, and you came pretty near ow ing me your death. It was I who in nocently gave you away." I>oulse took off a wig and going to a basin began to wash paint from her face. During the process part of her nose came of, a thin slice of her cheeks and the paint of her chin. She had made herself up to play the part of the suspected niece anil 'Victor Bre ton was similarly altered to look like her. The next day Mine, de Four with Julie (Victor Breton) drove to the hotel whence the post started for Paris, the niece took her departure and the same evening Victor, in man's attire, left the capital with n party of emigrants for the border. When the Bourbons restored he entered the service oft' e king and was Instrumental In savlr j from banishment M.de Four, who b d become prominent as a revolutionist.

Dear Sir:— 1 think that every man that has a | team of horses or any stock, ought to haveabottle of Mover's White Liniment 'in the stable or his house. I had a horse that stepped in a hole with his front foot, coming down the mountain with a trail of props, and fell forward and strained his shoulder blade. That it swelled so fast, that we could hardly get the collar off, and in two hours his neck was swollen to all the skin would I hold. We used your White Liniment freely,and in a few days he was to work again, and does not show any signs of lameness. It worked like magic. Respectfully Yours, J. A.
