He picked the gun' up, and was handling it rather carelessly, when it went off or exploded, he never knew which. It was pointing at the time of the explosion directly to a safe which stood in the corner of the car. The load struck the safe, 'and scattered, most of it entering the faces and necks of Messrs. Reames and Poore, baggage men. They were right badly scarred, and worse scared. Mr. Podre was here Tuesday with his head tied up, and looking very unhappy. There were lively times for a while in the car. It was the general opinion of t nose in ice car teat the time had come for passing in their checks. Church Folks and Facts. Rev.

Neale, Virginia; L. G. Barnard, Illi nois. j The steamer Three Friends has land ed a filibustering expedition in Cuba. She was chased by a Spanish cruiser and the vessels exchanged shots A? Practical Proposition, If you had a certain amount of money say S12.50, that you wished to invest in a suit of clothes You would naturally want to spend it where you would reap the greatest benefit If on looking over our stock you found that for $10.00 you could buy a suit you ex pected would cost $12.50. You would be saving $2.50, wouldn't you? Our $10.00 Sack Suits, absolutely all wool, correcely cut, and elegantly finished, are just such money savers. It took very careful buying with all the advantages of spot cash to secure them. Oou $10 00 suits have every attributes of the us'ual 812 00 suits except the price. Our Boys' Suits for $G00;and Ch;l drens' Suits for $2 98 are exceptianal values In fact, every garment in this department has a better movement in quality and finish than you can get else where for the same money. How highly parents appreciate this, is shownjin the lavish praise and liberal patronage we every day receive. -W, KAUFMAN & CO,,- LEADING CLOTHIERS. Mail orders solicited. Goods sent on approval.

Jok Pkkpon : I think It only lustloe to yourcelf and to all who ar afflicted witb scrofula to give you and tbe public a statement concerning my "bov, w bo was afflicted wltt scrofulous white dwelling. He was but little over two years o d when takeD, and the family physi cian was at ocoe called to his case. It was treated very successfully during the first stages of the disease. After this there was no perceptible improvement in his condition he oould not take the physic that was necessary for him. At this period I saw Mrs. Person and procured some of the Remedy and commenced its use. Tbe boy com menced Improving very much and could take iodide of Iron aDd Iodide of potassium without any trouble In jonneotlon with Mrs Person's Kemedy. When I began using the Remedy the knee joint was .stiff; be oould not walk a step without assistance. Tbe knee Joints soon Improved and he learned a second time to walk. Tbe thigh bone was affected and large quantities dissolved and ran out, like coarse corn meal. I continued the useot the Kemedy till the boy was pronounced free from scrofula. I need not say any more as he is to-day a liv ing witness as. to the efficacy of Mr. Joe Person's Kemedy, earning bis living by the sweat of his brow. I SHAM Ash WOBTH. Burlington, N.
