LOST A CATARRH DOCTOR
He Patronizes Monroe People
But Does Not Pay
Them.
He Marries Nice Monroe Girl, Takes
her and her Mother TO Milwau-
kee. and leaves them for few
minutes in Dry Goods
Store.
Hasn't Called For Them Yet.

A liberal reward is offered to
any person who will apprise US of
the whereabouts of person who
travels as "Catarrh Specialist" un-
der different names.
He is rather peculiar looking; q
trifie above medium height, fair
complexion, hair the color of molas-
ses candy, and slightly curly stoops
in the shoulders, and head inclined
forward little. Has large hands
aud feet-and q nose that reminds
one of hawk Or bird of prey. and a
true index to the character of the
person. Wore silk plug hat and
dark clothes when last seen in Mon-
roe. He is rather foppish in his
manners, talks very easy, and glibly.
Report has it that this individual
has a wife and children in Minnesota;
that he has been married under false
pretencts 10 several young and fool
ish girls since, AID that he has
skipped from several towns with>
out paying his hotel and printing
bills, leaving deluded matrimonial
victims and creditors in the wonder
ment that always dawns upon the
vision after being cruelty sstaken in"
We warn the public against this
person and call upon the newspapers
of the northwest TO help to expose
him and if possible bring him to JUS
tice.
He came to Monroe, and through
recommendation received from rep
utable persons he had treated for
catarrh, he succeeded IN obtaining a
hearing through this paper, and
thereby succeeded in securing pa
clients for treatment. Accidentally
he was thrown into the company of
young lady who was boarding at
the same hotel and by some devilsh
device, or through nnmltigated ~
ing he induced her TO elope with him,
and they were married at Martin,
little village near the Southwest cor
ner Of this county.
The girl's parents tried in vain to
prevent this hasty and, as it has
ved-terrible step, but of course
made the best they could of the af
fair, hoping for the best, when there
was no help. The ceremony was
performed by Esquire Ty'er, OF Ca
dir and so far as the young lady and
the Justice were concerned the
compact was honestly made. But
with the lecherous villain who so
wickedly acted the part of BRIDE
groom the case was far different.
After remaining with his innocent
week or so, he planned trip to
Milwaukee; taking his wife, her
mother, and one or two others for
the avowed purpose of buying an
outfit tor the bride. Great promises
were made for the future pleasure
and comfort of oil parties concerned.
A rich father would furnish abuud-
ance of cash in few days for the
use of his dear boy, and trip to En-
rope, was also in the programme.
The cdr" which also stands for
debtor IN this case,- oh, how he did
sling on style accompanied his
cride and her friends 10 the Newhall
Hous, when they arrived in the city,
and after dinner they proceeded to q
well known dry goods house to buy
the outfit
The eccentrIc,ties of the ssDoctor"
had not as yet attracted notice from
his unsuspecting victim. He ex-
cused himself for few moments, on
arriving at the store, and said he tain
would see friend. Some goods
were selected, and orders given upon
this hypothesis that the Doctor
would be in and pay Bat where
was the doctor !? Aye that's the
the question that has rot been an
swered yet to tho satisfaction of
those most interested.
Suffice it to conclude this sketch
from real life, that the catarrh man
skipped cut from Milwaukee leaving
his party in the latch and has never
appeared TO his Monroe wife, who
returned home to her friends almost
broken-hearted and distracted over
the cruel and wanton trick played by
the ginger. haired scamp.
The only good that can come of
this publication is the possible eX-
posure of the vllainous "D0ctor,"
and to serve as warning 10 all
young ladies, not to marry man
whom they know nothing of, and
whose reputation depends upon his
own Neutrality-suspicious. proof to sub
stantiate it. Wait for the proof. =
