But the chiefest terror of the : Pinkerton detective agency to evil-doers lies in this ' : they never stop ; they never give up u case in which a member of the American Bankers' association is involved ; writes Charles Francis Bourke iil Leslie's l\lagazine. So thoroughly is this recognized that the little sign hanging in many banking offices and reading "Membe ) American Bankers' association - sociation , " serves as the best pos. sible insurance against the exploits - ploits of safe-blowers , sneak thieves and forgers. An amusing - ing instance of the influence of this reputation is found in a case reported from 'Yisconsin. Sneak thieves entered a banking house in an interior citY aml succeeded in getting away ; with negotiable bonds valued at 50000. At the time tIle robbery was committed the thieves did not notice the sign of the American Bankers' associa- thou which was hanging in an inconspicuous - conspicuous position. When the affair became public , the fact that ' the bank which hud been robbed belongc'd to the association was also stated. Next day the bank hi question received by express from Milwaukee a package containing - taming the stolen bonds intact with it was a note : "Please put your sign where people can see it , and save trouble , " it read. . . . . - . . . , - - - - - - The Brethern church people observed Help Communion Sun- ; day evening A number came down from Silver Creek : twenty six from IIamlin and quite a few from Preston , Shubert , Stella Merrill ' , Mound City and Kansas City.

In commencing on the fact that The 'rribune had quit the ready print trust , the Humboldt Leader says : "Good for The Tribune ! \ Vepredict. . it will not be many month until other publications will follow suit. There is no reason why' the publishers of a county should not get together and discard the 'pr sent useless and burdensome ready print without which the reader gets about all that he desires or ever reads. An that is needed is co- operation. " A Good Family Liniment. Every family should be supplied with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm For cuts , bruises burns , scalds and similar injuries which are of frequent occurrence there is nothing so good.It soothes the wound and not only gives instant relief from pain , but causes the parts to heal in about one- third the time required by the unusal treatment.

The diJ1leutJ' ] of obtain. ing a satisfactory degree of tightness . ness in the closing of doors under . del' forced draft has until recently bullied engineers. In ordinary op. oration tIle hot gases beating on the doors cause buckling , permit. ting the ingress of fresh air and the consequent reignition of Ow gases , so that , once buckling commences . mences , it goes from bad to worse , allowing smoke and soot to he blown out into the litokehole The principle adopted in obtaining airtightness in the new door is that of the wedge and girder. rl'wo angle iron fasteners , which be- tween the points of wedge bear. ings form practically ] ] small ] ] gird. ers , one on either side of the door , are made in one piece , corresponding . ing to the length of the door. One handle on each angle iron dis penses with tIle large number of handle catches usually ] ] employed and reduces the operation to the simple movement t of pushing the angle irons out of the wedge catches . es and turning them back on hin. ges so they ; will clear the catches , thus leaving the door free to open . .
