Such troubles should have immediate treatment with the strengthening powers of Scott's Emulsion to guard against consumption which so easily follows. Scott’s Emulsion contains pure cod liver oil which peculiarly strengthens the res piratory tract and improves the quality of the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and heals the tender membranes of the throat.

For some time past Mr. Glenn Ar nold. of Grantville, has been missing goods from his store, and there was ac cumulating evidence that some slick thief was responsible for these losses. The store usually opens for business about 6 o’clock. Yesterday morning Mr. Harry Baxter, a member of the firm, determined to set a watch and catch the thief if he should show up. With this purpose in view he concealed himself under a counter und awaited developments. He did not have long to wait. Shortly after the store opened Lewis Fitten and another negro named Rosser came into the store. Rosser approached a clerk—the only one in the house at the time—and asked to see some goods that wore kept in a differ ent department Fitten carried an emp ty sack, and as soon as the clerk and RoBser were out of Bight he began fill ing the sack with clothing and other articles. When the sack wbb filled he shouldred it and started out at the front door. Just sb he reached the door Mr. Buxtcr rose from behind the counter and called to him to halt., but instead of paying heed to the warning he dropped the sack and ran. Seizing a shotgun Mr. Baxter hurried to the door, and, merely to frighten him, sent a chance shot after the fleeing negro. He continued to run, and soon disap peared. Imagine Mr. Baxter's aston- shment when information was brought shortly afterwards that his chance Hhot had taken effect, striking the fugitive in a vital spot and causing his death. Coroner Cook summoned a jury atfd held an inquest yesterday morning. After a full and thorough investigation Mr. Baxter was exonerated, the jury finding that the killing of the negro was justifiable.
