How Smart SwindIer Manages to
Victimize People.
The public are cautioned against a
smooth-tongued swlndler who has been
engaged for some days in raking in dol
lars under the fraudulent pretense of be-
ing an advertising solicitor for the REC
oRD-UNIoN.
To some of his victims he gives the
name Of w. A. Cummings, but probably
employs as many aliases as he may deem
useful in his business.
The fellows plan is to call at residences
where there are rooms 10 let and solicit
the name of the family for publication,
saying that he had been commissioned by
the RECORD UNION to do so in order that
ready reference directory of places
where there are rooms to let might be
secured.
Strange to say, the fellow has found
plenty of people ready to pay him a dol
lar III advance for the promised publica-
ton, although the regular rate therefor
would not amount TO more than one
fourth as much.
Cummings is described as a young
man Of dark complexion, with black
mustache, and wears suit of black
clothing. He gives printed receipt to
each OF his victims, such as are sold in
blank form by stationers. Several of
them have been returned to this Office,
but ii IS not known just how many per-
sons have been swindled by him.

In the Nick of Time.

The nick of time to stop the course OF
bladder and kidney complaints is when
the organs concerned exhibit a tendency
to grow inactive. The healthful impulse
toward activity that they receive from
Hostetters Stomach Bitters rescues them
from impending danger, and averts such
dangerous maladies as Bright's disease
and diabetes. Sluggishness Of the kid
neys increases liability to chronic rheu-
matism, govt and dropsy, and since the
blood is filtered by these organs in its
passage through them the operation of
the bitters serves a doubly happy pur-
pose. The medicine acts without eXcit-
ing, like the fiery stimulants of COM
merce. Malarial, dyspeptic, constipated
and nervous invalids are thoroughly re-
lieved by it, Since the advent of that
shocking malady, la grippe, it has been

NARROW ESCAPE

A Wood Island Man Mistaken for a
Murderer and Shot at.
On Wednesday evening about o'clock,
when the search for the Howard murder
ers was still in progress, says the Rio
Vista NeUS, William Warner and Irve
Williams were stationed on the further
side of Wood Island. Charley Rivard
came upon them suddenly and Warner
commended him to halt, at the same
time firing at him. Rivard exclaimed,
For Gods sake, boys, do you want to
kill Charley Rivardr The exclamation
cooled the boys down and they were soon
at Rivard's side, raising him up.
His hat was riddled with shot, but only
one or two scratched his head slightly.
1t was narrow escape, and but for the
GOODNESS of Rivard the three might have
been killed, as he was about to return
fire, when he concluded they must be
friends and on the same mission as him
self.
