Completely Uprooted ,

How many remedies there are which
merely relieve without uprooting dis
ease. The contrast with sterling medi-
cines which such palliatives afford, not
only enhances the dignity of the former,
but serves to emphasize the folly of EN-.
ploying halfway measures when thor
ough ones are available. A marked
instance of this is the effect, on the one
hand, OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters in
cases of cbills and fever and bilious re-
mittent, and on the other of ordinary
remedies in nIaladies of this tipe. BY
the Bitters. malarial complaint in every
stage, and of the most malignant type,
are completely conquered and lose their
hold upon the system. They are rarely
if ever, dislodged by the ordinary re-
sources of medicine, although their
symptoms may unquestionably be miti-
gated through such means. The same
holds good of Indigestion, biliousness,
kidney complaint, rheumatism, nerv-
business and debility. By the Bitters
they are cured when many remedies
fail

"Children's Day Exercises" were
held in the Methodist Church, South,
Sunday night last. We do not
know where or with whom the idea
of giving such entertainments origi-
mated, but they certainly are appro-
pirate and interesting. They con-
sist of songs and recitations by the
children and singing by the choir.
The one just closed was witnessed
by crowded house, and enjoyed
by all. The church looked lovely
in flowers, and filled with radiant
children and overlooking with song,
who could neglect the occasion to
feel joyous. We do not know the
names of all who participated in the
exercises, for that reason can not
mention their names. Praise is due
to all, however. A solo by Mrs.
Hooff, was tenderly sweet, and
doubtless touched many hearts; for

the young mind be led along such
paths and there will be no depar.
ture into forbidden ones in after
years.

A RANK REAL ESTATE FRAUD
How w. A.Shaw Tried to Fleece q
Widow.
COMPELLED TO DEED BACK PROPERTY
Performance Of q ScOundrel who
Charged The Journal With
Blackmail.

The real estate transfers record the
dlsgorgement Of a valuable piece of real
estate that was swallowed up by
shark 10 that profession II there ever
was one.
1t is the reconveying of choice resi-
dence property with Improvements on
State street by w. A. 8 haw to Mrs.
Elizabeth Joseph. The facts In the
case are that Mrs. Joseph Is a widow,
whose mind has for some time been af-
fected by disease, and who is said to be
unfamiliar and upskilled In business,
and who is believed by her friends to
be disqualified to protect her property
rights against the schemes of unscru.
pulous traders and designing real estate
agents.
Some time In 1892 one w. A. Shaw,
Salem real estate dealer, induced her
to deed her property on State street to
him for the sum OF $4,000. 1t is her
home and when 1t was gone she had
nothing else In the world to fall back
upon, and upon moving out Shaw took
possession and Mrs. Joseph occupied a
room on the second floor In the post
Office block, moving out of there few
days after the blank cartridges were
fired at this same man Shaw in the
hallway Of that block about month
ago.
THETERMs
upon which Mrs. Joseph was induced
to part with her property were these
Shaw gave her $3.50 down, and twenty
three notes of $3.50 each, one payable
each year fer % years, and the last pay
able In the year 1915, without interest
and without security by mortgage, en-
dOrser or otherwise. For this worthless
unsecured paper she gave him deed
and he exacted promise to keep silent
to everyone about the transaction ex-
cept to say to anyone who asked that
she had sold the property for $1,000.
Soon after the shooting affair which
took place near her door Mrs. Joseph
became more suspicious of Shaw and
urged her counsel to press suit in
equity to recover her property. Shsw's
lawyers advised him to get out of it by
deciding back the property at once, and
that has been done. Mrs. Joseph keeps
her $3.50, crediting it on the notes that
were to draw no interest and would
have been payable to the old lady
mostly after her death and along in the
first quarter Of the next century. Such
is Shaw. Where will he turn up next
and why don't the newspapers that
want him or The JOURNAL men sent
to the penitentiary tell the news about
Mr.. Shaw?
