Obituary of Mrs. William Gray.

Declare War on Colds. A crusade of education which aims “that common colds may become uncommon within the next generation” has been begun by prominent New York physicians. Here is a list of the “don’ts” which the doctors say will prevent the annual visitation of the cold: “Don’t sit in a draughty car.” “Don’t sleep in hot rooms." “Don’t avoid the fresh air." ’Don’t stuff yourself at meal time. Over-eating reduces your resistence.” To which we would add—when you take a cold get rid of it as quickly as possible To accomplish that you will find Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy most excellent.

Attempt Was Made to Rob Brook Postoffice Tuesday Night.

The postoffice safe at Brook was blown partly open by three explosions of powder last Tuesday night. The inner door refused to budge, although the force of the last charge of powder had been so great as to drive parts of the iron door the length of the 'building and through the plate glass windows in front. Several heard the noise as the powder was discharged but until the last charge, which was about 15 minutes after the others, did not regard the noise as anything more than the firing of a shotgun. Three men, short of stature and each wearing overcoats and caps pulled down over their ears, were seen running from the building after the last explosion, which was at about 2 o’clock in the morning. The explosions had been muffled to some extent by piling mail sacks about the safe. No trace of the men could he found after they ran from the building.
