POLICE GETTING TIRED.
tbs Thought Cashier Koetting is Now
in Mexico.

Milwaukee, Aug. 1.-THE police will
probably drop all efforts to locate John
3. Koctting, the cashier and principal
looter of the South Side Savings bank.
He has been far beyond the reach of
the law for long time, according to
Receiver Barth.
Il am satisfied" said Mr.. Barth,
that Koetting is in Mexico, from
which country he cannot be extradited,
and that he has been there for several
weeks"
DO you think the police of Denver
ever had him located in that city,"
mo. l never did believe that story.
In fact, / have information that salts
fies me beyond a reasonable doubt that
the eX-cashier is in Mexico
The receiver would not say why, but
he intimated that perhaps others
probably those related to Koetting-
might have heard something of the
missing man.

How a Clever Woman Made Hers

How a Clever Woman Made Hers
Really Seem Light and Airy.
There is a small dining-roOm at the
top of a big apartment house in big
city, which is IS different from the con-
ventional dining-roOm as possible, says
The HOuSekeeper To atone for the
want OF light the artistic mistress
hung it with a pinlliSh terra Gotta car
fridge paper, q soft, warm color that
made the room glow to begin with. She
put light hangings OF rOsy-pink silkO-
line at the windows, and at the one in
which a cheerless sun sometimes
struggled as if it had lost it's way and
meant to get out as quickly as posi-
biz, she put up a shelf with green ivies
and ferns, winter and summer keeping
q pot of blooming plants in their midst,
which she replaced with a fresh one
from the florist every month or six
weeks.
Instead of a big, cheap, clumsy side
board, she bracketed up light shelves,
over Il little light table, which did duty
for a buffers table, or table runner"
She fastened UP narrow shelves over
the doors and put bright pieces of
china on them. The rug that covered
the center of the stained floor was
warm cream and pinkish terra Gotta.
Along one side of the wall she built a
sort of rude bench, wide enough for
comfort, which she covered with a fur
rug in white and tawny browns, with
a big pillow at either end, replacing the
rug in summer with cushions covered
with cool linen worked with cream and
old rose.
The idea of lightness which just say
ed the room from being poky and
stuffy was carried out in the chairs
which were of oak, with spindle backs
and cane seats. Instead of the ordinary
extension table, occupying the whole
center of the room, was pine kitchen
table with leaves that let down, and
when up, formed an oval capable OF
holding eight people. This was stained
and vanished into a good imitation OF
oak. and when not in use was folded
into it's smallest compass.

SEA WATER AS A MEDICINE.
Effective in Ordinary Cases of Indi-
gestion and a Good General Tonic.

! Effective in Ordinary Cases of Indi~
| gestion and a Good General Tonic.
When bather at COney island the
other day accidentally swallowed a big
gulp Of sea water and then rushed off
to get a drink of whisky to take the
taste out of his mouth, a successful
medical practitioner who had witness
ed the performance said to a New
York Herald man: That man is either
a greenhOrn or a fool. Otherwise he
would have taken merely a sip of lem
OLade and allowed the sea water to do
its work. AS a matter of fact, one of
the most beneficial features of a sea
bath is the salt water inadvertently
swallowed by bathers. It is a wonder
full tonic for the liver, stomach and
kidneys. In many cases it will cure
billiousness where all drug prepare
tons have failed. 1t is peculiarly effec-
tive in ordinary cases of indigestion,
disordered stomach and insomnia, and
mas been known to produce excellent
results in many caSS of dyspepsia. Sea
water is full Of tonic and sedative prop
critics. 1t won't hurt anybody. Two or
three big swallows Of it would be of
positive benefit to nine bathers out of
ten. 1T isn't palatable or tempting,
but neither is quinine or calomel. You
never see an old sailor who is bilious
dyspeptic, or 4 victim Of insomnia,
and why? For the reason that an
ocean of good mdicine spreads all
about his ship, and he doses himself
copiously with it whenever his physical
mechanism becomes the least bit de-
ranged"

BRIDGET AND REFRIGERATOR
Keep a Sharp Look Out or the Two
Will Make Mischief.

Unless she is carefully looked after,
the average servant girl will keep the
refrigerator in a state that will destroy
all your appetite if you should look into
it's damp interior some day just before
lunch. The refrigerator is too often
made a catch-an for all the odds and
ends that are left over from the table.
1t is perfectly proper to put all food
that is to be saved in the refrigerator,
but it is not necessary to pile it in an
indiscriminate tumble, as most girls do
Their usual method is to put the corn
and potatoes and onions and tomatoes
and pieces of meat, still in the dishes
in which they were served, on any va
cant place that can be found on the
refrigerator shelves.
The housekeeper should make it her
daily practice to visit the refrigerator
every morning and see that all food Is
neatly arranged on as small dishes as
Will hold it on shelves specially set
apart for such use. Butter and cream
must be kept in a separate apartment.
away from vegetables or anything else
that is likely to give it an alien flavor
Fruits of all kinds, with the exception
perhaps of melons, should be set on
shelves that are not directly over the
block Of ice, as it is not good to kee[
them in a tOO-damp atmosphere.
Above all, refrigerators sheulld be
kept perfectly clean. Unleg this is
done there will be water bugs and
reaches and disagreeable smells that
are hard to get rid of. If from care
lessness the refrigerator has become I'LL
smelling, put in few Jumps OF char
coal or unslacked lime, after giving it q
thorough cleaning, and after that be
sure to keep it perfectly ctean

MAY NEVER RIDE AGAIN.
Sanger's Injuries Very Likely to Be
Permanent.

Milwaukee, Aug. 12.-There is
strong probability that Walter c. San
ger, the champion bicycle rider, will
never again appear in a wheelmen's
race. 1t is stated by members of his
family and close friends that great
fears are entertained that the cham
pion received permanent injuries liz
the accident in Chicago.
He has been taken TO Waukesha for
rest and medical treatment. AS yet
it is impossible to determine whether
or not his injuries were Of an internal
nature. Some fears are entertained
that he was internally injured, and that
the injury will prove Of such charac-
ter as to preclude the possibility Of his
ever again making any kind Of speed
upon his wheel.

MAY BE LEFT POOR.
Sad Situation for David Ferguson
Mitchell and Johnston's Cases.

Milwaukee, Aug. Ex-senator Mitchell
is in Washington, David Ferguson is
sich abed and possesses nothing eX-
cept his homestead, so the small
creditors of the bank have been pur-
suing John Johnston for a settlement,
which caused him to assign. Mr..
Johnston owes nothing except his per
sonal liability to the bank, but he Is
on bonds for various parties to the
amount of several million dollars
The assignment included all the prop
er,y that Mr. Johnson has mortgageG

paper.
Before the failure Of the bank Mr.
Johnston was reputed to be Wortl

worth not less than 100000. Before

ments he will be comparatively poo

. 1t is authOritatlvely reported that
Senator Mitchell gave John Johnston
about 100000 for the latter's Ma
rine bank stock, whose face value was
$4,000. when the sale was made a
few months ago.

ell
Shortly after the elevation of John
L. Mitchell, now United States sena-
tor, to the presidency Of the bank, he
took to politics and left his banking
interests to the care of MeSSrs. Fergl-
son and Johnston. The former being
a very aged man, Mr.. Johnston, who
was cashier, soon found that the bur-
den of the business fell entirely upon
his shoulders. At first he forged along
without a murmur, but about three
years ago he went to Messrs Mitchell
and Ferguson with a proposition to
reorganize the bank by taking in a
number of substantial business men
as directors. This idea did not meet
with favor.
Then followed frequent quarrels be-
tween Messrs. Mitchell and Ferguson
on the one side and Mr.. Johnston on
the other, the latter always holding
out for his reorganization ideas. Fl
nally last November matters came to
a climax. Mr.. Johnston told President
Mitchell and Mr.. Ferguson that they
would either have to buy him out or
he would buy them out. The result
was that Mr.. Johnston retired.
