'
A largo tneit from the United
States treasury has been unearthed
in Chicago. Somewhere between $175,000
and $200,00*') was stolen from the
local subtreasury last week. The
money has disappeared as completely
as if it had vanished from the face
of the earth. The authorities in cnicago
and in Washington Jiave been
working night and day on the robbery
since it was discovered.
\
Chief W'ilkie of the United States j
secret service left Washington Monday
to take personal charge ot the
investigation.
Secretary Shaw of the treasury department
was told of the gigantic
theft when in Chicago last week, and
was in conference with Subtreasurer
William Boldenweck and secret service
officials.
Aii the money taken was in large
bills?bills oi the denomination oi $i,Oou,
$5,000 and $10,000.
Every man who could have had
anything to do with the case was call\
eo into Treasurer Boidenweek's office
and put through an exhaustive exam;
ination, and a still more rigid crossevamination.

When interviewed Monday in re>
gard to the robbery, Subtreasurer Bol
den week admitted that a theft of
$173,00'.. had been perpetrated, but
,: refused to go into details.
"It is true that what I and other

^ gigantic steal has been perpetrated
in the subtreasury," he said. "The

and the men will pursue. We tdiscovered
the shortage last Wednesday
when the books of the subtreasury
were balanced for the day. There is
p a possibility that the shortage is due
to an error of a bookkeeper, but I
am inclined to believe that a robbery
has been committed." I

Favorite Prescription has proved a most
valuable sup^rting tonic and invigorating
nervine. By its, timely use, much
serious sickness and sutferinc may he
avoided. The operating tabte and the
surgeons' knifeT would, ft is believed;
seldom have to be employed if this most
valuable woman's'remedy were rpcnrfpd

Bear in mind, please that Dr. Pierce'9
Favorite Prescription is not a secret or
patent medicine, against,which the most
intelligent people are quite naturally
averse, because of the uncertainty as to
their composition and harmless character,
but is a MEDICINE OF KNOWN COMPOSITION,
a full list of all its ingredients being
printed, in plain English, on every bottlewrapper.
An examination of this list of
ingreaients will disclose the fact that it is
non-alcoholic in its composition, chemically
pure, triple-refined ^cerinc taking
the place of the commomy used alcohol,
in its make-up. In this connection it
may not be out of place to state that the
" Favorite Prescription " of Dr. Pierce is
the only medicine put up for the cure of
woman's peculiar weaknesses and ailments,
ana sold through druggists, all
the ingredients of which have the unanimous
endorsement of all the leading
medical writers and teachers of all the
several schools of practice, and that too
as remedies for the ailments for which
"Favorite Prescription" is recommended.
A little book of these endorsements will
be sent to any address, post-paid, and

Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation.
Constipation is the cause of
many diseases. Cure the cause and you
cure the disease. Easy to take as candy.
There would be a heap* of virtue in
the world if there was more fun in it.
Stimulate the Blood.
Brandreth'a Pills are the great, blood
'purifier. They are a laxative and blood
tonic, they act equally on the bowels, the
kidneys and the skin, thus cleansing the
system by the natural outlet of the bodv.
They stimulate the blood so as to enaDie
nature to throw off all morbid humors
ar.d cure all troubles arising from an impure
state of the blood. One or two taken
every night will prove invaluable.
Each pill contains one grain of solid extract
01 sarsapariHa, which, with other
valuable vegetable products, make it a
blood purifier of excellent character.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for
over a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, plain or sugar?coated.
The more a man wants to borrow
the harder he shakes your hand.
Garfield Tea, the Herb laxative, is mild
and potent; take it to regulate a sluggish
liver and to overcome constipation.

TERRIBLE ITCHING.

Eczema Affected Whole System?Unable
to Rest Night or Day?Suf
fered 4 Years?Cuticura Cures.
"I suffered severely for four years from
poison oak and ivy. My condition was
serious, as I could not rest night or day
and be free from a terrible itching sensation
from scratching on my hands between
the fingers, my feet and face. I got the
best of advice and treatment from six different
doctors who were anxious to cure
me. One of the-doctors told me that when
the poison was cured, eczema (a worse
disease) would follow, which became true.
My eyesight was affected, and 1 went to
a hospital especially for the eyes and got
relief, but eczema got a terrible hold on my
system. I was about to give up all hope of
ever being cured, yet I could not be reconciled
to such results, as my health had been
good and free from any disease all my life.
My age is seventy-three years. In my ex- ,
tremity I happened to read of Cuticura
Remedies for skin diseases. I was anxious
about my condition and desired to evade
any spurious imitation. This was in July,
1905, and I called on a certain druggist
for the Cuticura Remedies. I bought five
boxes Cuticura Ointment," also some Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Pills as I required
them.. In four weeks' treatment my face
was smooth, and the itching gradually
left my hands and feet and I could rest
comfortably, for which I am grateful and
happy.. W. Field Cowen, Justice of the
Peace and Notary Public, Hartly. Del.,

STILL JABBING AT SOUTH ^
Massachusetts Representative Not
Yet Satisfied Over Immigration
Matter?Seeks More Light.
The opponents of immigration into
the south are not yet satisfied. In * ^
order to keep up the agitation the
1 committee 011 immigration has now
requested the president to direct the
attorney general to give his opinion.
upon the question as to whether the. inaiortation
into South Carolina, of the
Wittekind immigrants by Commissioner
Watson violated the alien contract
labor laws, or whether in the impostation
ot .those immigrants any law- ,]:-M
Ifas been violated. The inspirer of f
tliis request is Representative Gard- / ^
ner 01 Massachusetts, who is second ;>^j
in rank on the immigration commit- "S
tee of the house.
The president has not yet been Jjfl
heard from as to the disposition he'
will make of this request, and-as
congress is about to adjourn, the ;?|
attorney general would have little cM
time to prepare an opinion on this *
matter. Moreover* the house would
have no time to take up the matter
at this late day, ' in the event the V/jS
attorney general should say that the
law was violated. It is expected, how- .
ever, that the attorney general will . )|jl
give in .any event such an opinion -/ij|
as will let congress and the count#
know whether or not the two immigtation
laws just passed will prevent
further importation of the immigrants
under conditions similar to those of '.ji
tLe Wittekind immigrants, that fs, :j
whether the commissioner may use
money subscribed by private Individ- V^gi
uals, or a cotton mill, or other, a&sor' -J
ciation for the purpose.

At 11 o'clock the anti-Bailey follow-"

the committee not.to bring in a report
at this time, but to send a subcommittee
to St. Louis to secure the
testimony of H. Clay Pierce of the

Adherents of Senator Bailey very a

at once without making a report, 'ijlB
and fhat Senator Bailey may be fully ' *||

with all details ot the evi

of its publicity in the daily press . J|
