The Amorie.-m pro.js company was roblxtd to lay of ili .5S2 and Clark I'.i ado.n jr., a trusted employe, is missing. Three days ago tuo night manager in charge of the oHice at Forty-.ev-enth street and Madinon avenue, was t.iken ill and Hraden, a clerk of tho company for rnoro than ten years, was substituted. This olliee the company uses as a clearing house for all its matter sent from tho (J rand Central station. Among tho parcels to be sent tin tho 0:10 train on tho Hudson Iliverroad wero several containing cash to the amount of $5,-r)82 and one containing five $1,000 Chicago gas bonds. It was Bradon's place to take theso packages to the train, return to the olliee and remain until 7 o'elocK. When tho day employes arrived Biadon was not in tho office.' The safe was locked. Thoro was no re ceipts for valuable packagos by tho morning train, although the books showed that several such parcels hd been received at the office. At first the absence of IJraden and tho receipts were set down to careless ness. But a few minutes later the leather bags which had cont lined the valuables were found. They had bnen cut open and the money and bonds taken. That the robbery was hastily ca rried out is shown by the fact that $21,0(10, mostly in cash, was left in tho safe and that the bonds wero taken. Notices were sent to every bank and financial institution in the country warning them against purchasing the stolen gas bonds. These bonds have a face value of $5,000, but are worth in other markets $5,S50. They are for $1,000 each, issued in 18!(J and bearing . per cont interest. They are num bered 1G03, 1827, 2850, 4000 and 4101. Branden ab)ut three years ago left the company's employ to go west and for a time was a fish dealer in Oregon. Last summer he returned to New York. Chicago, Jan. 0. Tho Chicago po lice were requosted this evening by the I'inkerton agency to apprehend Clark Braden, jr., the absconding night clerk of the American Express company in the New York office. In stead of a $1,000,000 robbery, as rumored at first, the loss suffered by the express company through the clerk's disMppearance, the Pinkertons allege, is $30,000. According to the statement mado by tho detective agency of the amount taken by Braden $25,000 was in currency, consisting of fifty $500 bills and five $1,000 gold bonds of the Consumers' Giis company of Chicago.

Colorado I'coplu Will Hold Mhsh Meeting In Mil KrTort lu AuHkcn Intrrest In Their Kxhil.it nt Omtihai. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 4. The cold weather of January 1 and 2 did considerable temporary aaraage to vegetables, but none of a permanent character. Orange trees will in some instances lose their foliage and when situated in exposed places in the northern border of the orange belt will loso a part of their tender growth. Owing to the fact, however, that the sap was down, the trees themselves were able to resist un scathed even lower temperature. He ports from the pineapplo belt of the east coast indicate that tho damage to pineapples was trifling. The fall crop of tobacco in all parts of the state was injured badly. Blooms of strawberries wero killed. Early strawberries in the northern section were frozen on the vines and the plants themselves set back fully six weeks. The tenderest garden crops in all sections so far south as Tampa were lacking protection by forests, streams or lakes, were badly injured; but ex posed gardens did not represent more than half the area of truck, growers having learned by experience tbe wisdom ol selecting well protected spots. Will Hold Ma Meetings. Denvek, Colo., Jan. 4. Secretary George M. Mescbke of the Colorado commission called upon Mayor Mc Murray today and discussed the ad visibility of calling a mass meeting of the citizens of this county for the pur pose of increasing the interest in the matter of a state exhibit at the Trans mississippi exposition. It Is claimed by thoe who have charge of the Colo rado exhibit that a m;iss meeting in Denver will have the effect of causing similar meeting in other counties in the state and will educate the people to the importance of he movement. The Mining Engineers' association has decided to have a mineral ex hibit at the exposition. They have formulated plans to co-operate with the mineral counties of the state in forming an exhibit worthy of the leading industry of the state. Should the different counties refuse to com bine in a mineral exhibit, tho Mining h.r.giuecrs association will nave an exhibit of its own. Electric Bitters. Electric lii iters is a medicine suited for any sen son, but perhaps more gen erally needed when the languid, ex hausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a ionic and alterative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often abated long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and free ing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con stipation, Dizziness, yield to Electric IUtteis. Fi fty cents and $1 bottles at F. G. Fricke's di-ny: store. 1 Rheumatism Cured in a Day. A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most miserable condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe, and recognizing it as dangerous ho took immediate steps to bring about a speedy cure. From the advertisement of Chamber lain's Cough IJeraedy and the many good recommendatious included therein, we concluded to mako a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is put it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure. We have no hesi tancy in recommending this excellent Cough Kemedy to anyone afllicted with a cough or cold in aiy form. The Banner of Liberty, Liberty town, Mary land.

Chicago, Jan. G. Tho agreement reached by tho western roads a few days ago regarding tho running of homeseeUers' excureons is a back num ber alroady. It has been found that so many of the roads are not satisfied with the agreement to restrict tho excursions to points in Missouri river territory that another meeting has boon callod for tomorrow. There is little likelihood that tho meeting will result in the abolishment of the ex cursions, as many of l ho roads have made their arrangements for tho handling of the business, and have put out advertising announcing that they will run the excursions. Hurllng-ton Doing a iiiff IiurtiueHtt. The Burlington is averaging 800 cars a day more in its freight traffic than this time last year, say the State Journal. During 1897 it brought iu 07,358 cars of grain out of a total of 320,018 brought by all the western lines to Chicago. This is the largest business in its history. In 1800 it handled 51,702 cars, and in 181)4 only 20,775 cars. In its live stock traffic in 1807 was OS, 820 cars, showing a slight falling off fiom 1806, when it handled 70,047 cars. In 1805 its deliveries sit the union stock yaids were 03,072 cars. Work on t he Nebraska lUiildinfj. The roof of the Nebraska building is completed witn the exception ol the covering of the upper part of the small corner domes. The roofs of these are hemispherical and will bo covered with canvas painted the same shade as the rest of the roof. On account of their 6hape it will not be practical to use the elaterite rooliing with which tho other parts of the roof are covered. Kimball Bios, of Lincoln, the con tractois who win make the statr cov erine for the Nebraska building, have arrived with a force of men and com menced work yesterday morning making the models for the staff deco ration. They estimate that about sixty days will be required to complete the staff work. Hester & McCaslin of Lincoln, the subcontractors for the plaster work on this building, are making prepara tions to commence work at once. The building is ready for the staff and plaster men, the interior and exterior having been lathed some time ago. The carpenters are now engaged in preparing the woodwork which will decorate the interior of the building after the staff and plaster men shall have completed their portion of tho work. Work on the superstructure of the Illinois building was commenced yes terday morning. Catarrh Cannot He Cured With LOCAL APPLICATION'S, as they cannot reach the sest of disease.
