The Burlington road has adopted a
policy which might be followed by
other roads to advantage. It offers a
reward of fl.OOO for the frustration of
a train robbery or for the capture or
kiHing (with emphasis on the killing)
of train robber. It is stated that as a
consequence the train-men on that road
frequent on the Burlington will be few I

the ofler was extended, both in amount I

A meeting of the Iowa synodieal com
mittee on tne twentieth century move
ment of the Presbyterian church was re
cently held in Des Moines. The money
to be raised will be devoted largely to
the improvement of the Presbyterian
schools throughout the country. Unlike
the twentieth century movement in the
Methodist church, no fixed sum has
been determined upon, it being the pur
pose of the Presbyterians to raise as
much as they can. They will work all
next year on the plan, The work in
Iowa is practically just beginning.

which occurred in that city yesterday

to start for that city the sad news came
that she had passed away at nine o'clock

be buried in the cemetery there to-day
Relatives in this city state that the

Mr. R. Gray, who lives near Amenia,
Duchess county, N.- Y., says: "Cham
berlain's Co,ugh Remedy is the best
medicine I have ever used. It is a fine
children's remedy for croup and never
fails to cure," When given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough has developed, it will
prevent the. attack. This should be
borne in mind and a bottle of the Cough
Remedy kept at'hand ready for instant
use as soon as these syinptons appear.
