CLOVER LEAF DETECTIVE HERE' But Refused to State His Business— Babcock Not Taken to Frankfort. The chief of the Clover Leaf railroad’s force of detectives was in the city this afternoon in conference with Sheriff Lipkey, wanting information concerning the capture of the men from the westbound freght train the night of the robbery of the two rail-1 road stations at Decatur. It will be remembered that on that night after both of the suspects had been caught one of them made good his escape from Marshal Carlisle and the chief thinks that he now has the man under arrest at Frankfort. None of the local officers would be able to identify the robber, so this afternoon the detective caught a freight train for Decatur to take with him to Frankfort Operator Melvin Babcock, who saw and conversed with the men the night of the thefts. The chief, after finding that he could secure but very little aid in the case from the local officers as to establishing the identity of his prisoner, refused to talk further of the case, so the manner of the capture or for what reason it is thought he is connected with the Decatur affair, could not be learned. —Bluffton Banner. The detective was here yesterday, but claimed to be on other business, the nature of which he refused to divulge. He made no mention of the facts as stated in the Bluffton papers and did not ask Babcock to accompany him. o Lester Grim, of Marion, Ohio, has arrived here and he will be the night operator at the G. R. & I. to fill the vacancy made by Israel Stoneburner.

Among the hundreds of patients cured of the whisky habit at the Marion Keely Institute have been several men engaged in the business of selling liquors, and these men have ever after been loyal to the Institute, sending friends for treatment and never letting an opportunity go to recommend the treatment.

Weak Women To weak and ailing women, there is at least ono way to help. But with that way, two treatments, must be combined. Ope is local, one is constltational, but both are important, both essential. Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure is the Local. Dr. Shoop's Restorative, the Constitutional. The former—Dr. Shoop’s Night Cure—isa topical mucous membrane suppository remedy, while Dr. Shoop's Restorative is wholly an internal treatment. The Restorative reaches throughout the entire system, seeking the repair of all nerve, all tissue, and all blood ailments. The “Night Cure”, as its name implies, does its work while you sleep. It soothes sore and inflamed mucous surfaces, heals local weaknesses and discharges, while the Restorative, eases nervous excitement, gives renewed vigor and ambition, builds np wasted tissues, bringing about renewed strength, vigor, and energy. Take Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—Tablets or Liquid—as a general tonic to the system. For positive local help, use as well Dr. Shoop’s Night Curo W. H. NACHTRIEB.
