Our Fall Line of Ladies' Suits and Coats and Children's Coats was robbed
transit and almost half of it stolen. It breaks the line of sizes, and as they were
not careful in replacing the goods in the box they are slightly mussed, and for
this reason we are making a very attractive price on the lot. Call in and look
them over. You will appreciate every article as a bargain : : : :

A Clean Man
Outside cle.nhnest u leu thin half the battle. A man m.y
scrub himself dozen timet d.y, and .till be unclean. Good
health meant cleanliness not only outside, but inside. It meant
a clean stomach, clean bowel., clean blood, a clean liver, and
new, clean, healthy tissues. The man who it clean in this way
will look it and act it. He will work with energy and think
clean, clear, healthy thoughts.
He will never be troubled with liver, lung, ttomach or blood
disorder. Dyspepsia and indigestion originate in unclean stom
ach!: Blood diseases are found where there is unclean blood.
Consumption and bronchitis mean unclean lungs.
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
prevents these diseases. It makes man's iniidei o!an
nd healthy. It clean the digestive organs, make pure,
clean blood, and clean, healthy flesh.
It restores tone to the nervous system, and cures nervous exhaustion and
prostration. It contains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs.
Constipation it the most unclean uncleanliness. Dr. Pierce't Pleasant Pel
lets cure it. They never gripe. Easy to take as candy.

wbb obtained by nltro glyoerin, aud
the express messenger, (J. 11. Huff,
was compelled to open the nay sate,
which was looted.
The parp!U8fri were not molested
auJ the desperados made good their
esCHpe after uncoupling the engine
and forcing the eugineer, (ieoiga K.
Donlon, to carry tbeui down the track
a mile or more.
That the robbers got but Utile fcr
tbeir trouble was duo to the quick ac
tion of Messenger Huff. Warned by
abuts and the uncoupling of tLe two
express oars, mail car and engine
from the lest ot the train, Huh"
quickly unlocked the safe and taking
out packages containing fiom $2UU0 to
$4000 threw them into uu obscure cor
ner, these hft replaced with pack
ages that bml little value, which be
grabbed from a shelf beside the tafe.
It was these bundles tbnt the rubbers
got when they compelled Uutt to opeo
the safe.
When Bret warned tbat the bold-up
was in progress, Messenger Hull toa;i
opened bis car to make an eximilna
tion and hal at once become a target
for one of the icbbers. lie bad then
closed the cur and secreted the valu
ables tbat be took lroui the safe.
While tbe cars were being run dowu

the two expieee cars when tbe rear
one was opened by nitro-glyceriue
Two charges were usfd, tbe Hrst he
iug set on tbe truck, evidently to in
timidate the messenger. The seooud
was placed under tht dcor ot the oar
and completely shattered it, as well
as breaking tbe windows. Shouting
threats, toof the robbers leaped into
tbe oar, wblie the third remained
guarding the engineer and a tramp
tbat brtd been picked up. Huff, ul
though armed, made no resistance, the
r others taking from him bit reiolrer.
lie had been in the forward coach
wben tbey entered and turned flash
lights on him, nt the same time cov
ering him with tbeir weapons. Wben
tbe robbers opened the safe and ss;w
tbat tbeir haul wus small, they weLt
through Hud's pockets, taking from
bim $3.30, tbe only money tbey are
known to have gotten.
The express aud mail cars were then
left standing ou I be track while the
robbers forced tbe engineer to carry
tbeui nearly to Moutavlla, where tbey
were close to a street ci line into
Portland.
Tbe holdups are believed to have
boarded the train nt Houd Kiver, for
tbat was tbe last stop made on the
rp before the robbery, with the ex
ception of a short stay at Kouuerille
under special orders to take on a phy

By the meat Sunday of a man wLo

SMALL DEPOSITORS
There are several reasons why the BUTLER BANKING
COMPANY welcomes small depositors and considers it a
matter of good business policy to Rive equal attention to small
and large accounts.
In the first place, most of our largo depositors started as small
depositors.
We have had the pleasure of seeing many accounts grow steadily
over a period of years and are glad to say that wo have helped
our customers to Increase their business and deposits.
So far as the bank is concerned, it is just as satisfactory to have
several small accounts aggregating the same as one larger one,
because, although there is three times the bookkeeping involved,
that is more than offset by the possibilities of development of
three different accounts, besideB the advertising value to the bank
of three satisfied customers.
Tbis bank's capital, surplus and profits of over seventy-five
thousand dollars, its very complete equipment and strong per
sonnel make it the ideal depository for small depositors who ex
pect to be bigger ones.
