STRANGE SOLUTION OF MRS.
NOLL'S TROUBLES.
HER GASB PUZZLED DOCTORS
And for Two Years She Suffered
Severe Pains The Mischief
Maker Made His Appear
ance and Was Caught.
BOUT two months ago
Mrs'. Jacob Noll, wife
of tho North Main
street saloon, keeper,
sufferod from a severe
pain in her chest. The
pain became to severe
that sbu was obliged
to secure modical at
tendance, but then she did sot obtain re
liof for some timo. Then she experienced
pains In the right side of her body and for
two years' her dsio puzzled the physicians
who attended her. Last Monday evening
tho mystery was solved. As Mrs. Noll
w.'iS preparing to retire she felt a sharp
pricking on hor right leg, just above tbo
knee. On inspecting tho painful part Mrs,
Noll saw a piece of, pointed steel protruding
through tho skin. She took bold of it and
pulled it out. It proved to be a needle.
Since its extraction Mrs. Noll has suffered
none of the pains or inconvoniences of the
two j ears past, and it is now believed that
ber complaint, was due solely to tho needle
passing through ber body to the point of
extraction. Mrs. NH cannot account, for
the needle entoring her chest, unless it was
forced through her dress, where she might
have p:iced jt when tho suddonly stopped
sowing somo day.

Of Interest to Athletes.
James Robinson, the athletic trainer at
Princeton Collego, Vrincoton, N. J., says:
"I have fouLd it imperative to have sure
and simple remedies on hand In case ol
cuts, bruises, strains, sprains, colds, rbeu
matlsm, etc. Shortly after entering upon
my profession, I discovered such a remedy
in lAlleock's Porous Plasters. I tiled
other plasters, but found them too barsb
and Irritating. Allcock's Porous Plasters
gtvo almost instantaneous relief, and tholr
strengthening power Is remarkable. In
cases of.weak back put two platters on the
imall ot the back and in a short time you
will bo capablo of quite sovere exercise
In "sprint" and "distance" races and
jumping, the muscles or tendons in the legs
and feet sometimes weaken. This can in
variably ba relieved by cutting the piaster
in narrow strips, so as to give free motion,
and applying on muscles uffecled."

Brown was tinconscirus and was writhing

doctor administered a drug by injection in

The Immorality Question.
Editok Herald .Since tun publication
of the atticl referring to tho complaints of
certain persons ab, ut the immorality exist'
ing in cur midst, quite a few people bavo
attestod their appreciation of the stand the
Hkiiald has Uken in tnU matter, and il
halt the reports which I havo heard are
true there is certainly just causo for com
plaint, and heroic measures are needed to
rid the town of this class of people. I am
woll aware that it is a subject hard to
handle in tho columns of a newspaper, but
tbere are other means that could lie used to
put a stop to this .business. I would sug
gest that mothers make it a rule to know
whore their daugbtors spent their evenings.
And it would not bo out of plaoa If some
m&rriod peoplo would look around and see
wbero their husbands and wives spend some
ot their time, and who their associates are.
I may havo moro to say on this subjct
later on. Dwlex.

whore such a law is badly needed.
An exchange says that one man with
twenty-seven trunks surprised the baggage
master of Pittsburg, They weighed over
6,000 pounds. Ho was a drummer for
ready made clothing houo.
The reading of ihe above reminded mo
of our friend M., who was on the road
some years ago as a drummer for a similar
concern. He did not have 27 trunks,
but tbey were largo and numerous. Pat
Finnegan used to call tbem street cars,
Ono day M., wishing to go to Alloona,
borrowed an annual pass from a metnbor of
the Legislature. To travel with so many
trunks without exciting remarks could
hardly bo expected, but such little thing
never bother M. Wuon the conductor
went around for tickets M, Bhowed his
nnr.ual. The conductor looked at it and
walked off, but ho did not appear quite
satisfiod. Shortly aflor tho conductor loft
tho car the baggage master entered. M
saw him making inquiries of each passjn
gor and braced hunseU for a test. If b
made a slip the annual would be uken up
and ho would bo obliged to pay fare and
also pay for tho trunks. When tho bag'
gage master roached M's seat he asked M,
if he had any baggage on the train and
whoro he was bound for. M. said "No'
to the first question and said heas going
to Tyrone. This tatUfiod tho burgage
master and, presumably, tho conductor.
M. got off at Tyrone, but followed th
trunks on the next train. He played th;
game many a time and always landed on
top.

Again was I reminded of the uttor want
of feoling for an unfortunate Galician as
manifested by his countrymon in the case
of Afton Seich, who was killed on the U
V. R. R. yesterday, Theso people seem
utterly devoid of any human sympathy,
and If it had not been for others who
insisted that hit boarding "boss" tako him
in, the poor fellow would have been left
lying on tho pavement to die, This Is th
class of foreigners tho, emigrant inspectors
should keep their eyes on.
