should the law allow a drunken or WORTH

its Dakota agents-is it an injury for com

Talking Of patent medicines

Talking Of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors some Of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. ..sMou'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess ito cure
e0erytAaxg and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff, you lose faith in eoc,y-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds

ton, Of Buffalo, N. Y, does

the fact will prevent France from partic-

patch from Paris that France will not
pa ticipate in the exposition because the
buildings are not constructed of stone

His Version OF That Deal In Express
Company Stock.

His Version OF That Deal In Express
Company Stock
NEW YORK, Oct. 23-The World prints
an interviewed with John Hoey, ex-presi-
dent of the Adams Express company. in
which he gives his side of the famous
Sherbosrne deal, the alleged reason for
his dismissal from the company. Mr..
Hoey said:
+ bought some stock in the Massachusetts
express companies, in conjunction with Sher-
burne and Spooner. Taft the man who
held it and transferred it. The first batch we
bought was sold to William B. Dinsmore, then
president of the Adams Express company. Mr.
Dinsmore held that stock for two years and
then turned il over TO the Adams. In the
meantime, we had secured an option on the rest
of the stock, and the Adams Express company,
through Mr.. Dinsmore, decided that the COM
pany should own it all. My only sin was vot-
ing as a trustee To buy that stock for the COM
pany.
Did Not Own a Dollar of the stock.
But. mind you. | did not own a dollar of it
William b. Dinsmore owned all of it. l did
not sell them anything owned. They try to
make out that engineered a deal by which
Sherburne, Spooner, Taft and myself sold TO
the compaoy for SS500D stock that was worth
only Sl5l,01l. That is false. The stock had
been purchased by President Dinsmore, and
by him transferred to the company. 1t had
appreciated In value largely after Mr.. Dins-
more bought it, but it seems good time now
to jump on me and poor Spooner.
Mr.. Hoey added that he had not owned
any stock in the Adams express company
for sixteen years, but that was no reaso n
why he should not faithfully look after it's
interests.
Corroborated by Dinsmore's Son.
William b. Dinsmore, son of the late
President Dinsmore, confir ned Mr..
Hoey's statement that his father had
owned the first batch OF Massachusetts
express stock, which he transferred to
the Adams Express company. Some
time later when his father was on his
death-bed, he heard that the United
States Express company was after the re-
mainder of the stock and it was on his ad-
vice that the Adams Express company
bought the rest of the stock that had
been acquired by Messrs. Hoey, Spooner,
and Sherburne
