of music the cows liked they gave
down freely. Some tunes made them
dry up. Boston Journal.

The readers of this paper will be
pleaased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure In all
Its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure Is the only posi
tive cure now known to the medi
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure Is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of "the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

At Blnghamton, Saturday, Oct.

returned three indictments In con
nection with the recent Knapp bank
failures. One Is against Charles P.
Knapp, of Deposit, and two are
against Charles P. Knapp and Chas.
J. Knapp, of Blnghamton, Jointly.
All the Indictments charge criminal
ly receiving deposits in an institu
tion known to be Insolvent.
The Indictments follow a series of
failures last April, when the Deposit
and Calllcoon branches of Knapp
Brothers, private bankers, closed
their doors; the Outing Publishing
Company, of Deposit, went into the
hands of a receiver, and the Blng
hamton Trust Company was placed
in the hands of the State Banking
Department.
Charles P. Knapp, whose name ap
pears In all three Indictments, was in
charge of tho Deposit branch of
Knapp Brothers, was president of
the Outing Publishing Company and
owner of Knapp's Millionaire Band.
Charles J. Knapp was Identified with
the firm of Knapp Brothers and was
president of the Blnghamton Trust
Company. He Is an uncle of Chas.
P. Knapp.
All the indictments relate to
transactions by the firm of Knapp
Brothers In Deposit, and have no
bearing on the Outing Publishing
Company and Blnghamton Trust
Company affairs.
Charles P. Knapp was arraigned
on the first indictment, and a plea
of not guilty was entered, with the
privilege of withdrawing the plea
and entering a demurrer. His at
torney announced that a motion for
a change of venue would be made,
and asked to have provision made
whereby the case would be sent to
the next term of the County Court
on October 18. C. P. and C. J
Knapp were arraigned on the two
remaining indictments, and the same
disposition was made in each case.
Ball was fixed at $1,000 on each in
dictment.
The deposits alleged in the in
dictments to have been criminally
received were made by Ansell Barnes
and William Halloway, in the joint
indictment, and by Edith Crowley,
in the individual indictment against
C. P. Knapp. All are residents of
Deposit.
