4 Horrible Inheritance

The transmission ef the fearful effects Of
contagious blood poison is certainly the most
horrible inheritance which any man can leave
70 his Innocent plstcrity. The curse con-
tained in the Scripturai declaration "Ths
sim Of the fathers shall be visited upon tho
children unto the third and fourth genera
tion," can be certainly mitigated. and In the
majority of cases, prevented, by the use OF
the nnttdote to the contagious blood poison
which Nature herself furnishes, and which
Is TO be found in its native purity and In.
fallible efficacy in the remedy known all over
the world as Swists Specific - commonly
called e s. 5. s." As illustrative OF this fact

quantity of white powder was found at

Michigan Southern switching engine,

was comparatively filled with passen-
gers. about fourteen in all, when the
locomotive crashed into it. The side OF
the car was crushed in and overturned,
and pushed along few feet, but the

vented further damage. The following

OLD HUTCH VICTIMIZED.
One OF His Proteges Robs Him of
$4,000.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dee. Sit was discovered
to-day that the grain market manipula-
tor, B. p. Hutchinson, otherwi Sc known
as ''Old Hutch, p" has been victimized to
the amount of $4,000 by former clerk
named Frank II. Bates. A short time
since, Hutchinson purchased board of
trade membership for young Bates,
and the latter took an active
part in the interests of Hutchinson dur
ing the September wheat corner. Bates
lived fast life and spent large sums
of money in company with dissolute
companions, which coming to the knowl-
edge of his employer, quiet investiga-
ton was made, which resulted in the
dismissal of Bates several days since.
Further investigation shows that Bates,
through his membership on the board,
which was really owned by Hutchin-
son. had. while acting for his prin-
cipal, used the knowledge he pos
sessed of the latter's speculative in
tentions to buy or sell grain, as the
case might be, for his own account, be-
fore operating for Hutchinson, whose
give the latter profit, as the market
advanced or declined on "Old Hutch's"
manipulations. Bates has fled from the
city, and as John LOnergan, the "Set-
Ting clerk on the board for Hutchin-
son, another fast young man and boon
companion Of Bates, has likewise disap
peared, il will be impossible to ascer-
tain the full amount of Bates crooked
ness for some days. when, it is said,
other methods of Bates misappropria-
tionS will come to light.
