and Others In New York and

Baumberger will Probably Be Taken
Back to Cando For q Preliminary
Hearing.

DETROIT, Mich, July 14.-One of the
most notorious prisoners in America
has fallen into the hands of the police,
and Chicago, New York and Toledo
will begin a legal war for his custody.
The local detectives, guided by Detec-
tive Julian of New York, and the
Pinkerton men, arrested DR.. Henry g.
w. Myer at 123 Clifford street on suspi-
cion. Julian and the Pinkerton men
have been ON his track for two years,
and finally cornered him in Detroit,
collecting in the meantime evidence
which, they say, will cause Myer to
suffer the death penalty.
His Operations
Julian says that Myer graduated from
the Chicago homeopathic school in
1878 and his operations began a year
later. when he poisoned his first wife.
Then he poisoned an old man named
Gilderman and married the widow,
poisoning her son and finally herself.
Myer then moved from Chicago to New
York, where he went into partnership
with a man named Brant, his scheme
being to beat the insurance companies.
Brant was to take out heavy insurance,
become sick and apparently die, acorpse
being procured from some other source
and used to get the insurance. Brant
took some medicine to render him
unconscious, and 1t is charged that
Myer poisoned him, collecting the in
al In some way Myer persuaded
an Indianapolis woman to accompany
him to Toledo. where he also poisoned
her. Chemists have analysed the poison
he is accused of using, but have failed
to find out what it was. He is said to
have collected 5 1000. that Ia known,
from insurance companies, and the de.
t~ectives feel confident there are more
cases to hear from. Requisition papers
are expected during the day, and al
though there are four cases against him
in Chicago, it is said efforts will be
made to send him to New York, where
the case is alleged to be strong enough
to warrant electrocution.

SOUTH LAW.
Brewers Anxious to Test Its Validity
In the Courts.

In tho OurtS
CHARLESTON, S. c., July 1.-THE
Portner Brewing company has a beer
barrel on its shoulder and has dared
Governor Tillman to knock it off. A
key has arrived from Charlotte, N. G.,
consigned to the agent of the company
here. The shipment was made purely
for the purpose of testing the right of
the state TO prohibit the roads, under
the d~ispensary laws, from carving
liquor to parties in South Carolina from
points in an adjoining state.
The brewers agent received it and
placed it on ice in a conspicuous place
in the establishment. There it remained
throughout the day unmolested by the
many spies with which the governor
has fooled the city. So far from at
tempting to do business in an under.
hand manner special pains have been
taken to inform the authorities of what
is being done. The governor has made
no move against Charleston yet. though
it il rumored that his constabulary
have upward OF 50 cases prepared. and
that the battle will begin in a day or
two.

A Few Facts.

remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. Many who have
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. 1t has been successful in
curing many cases of catarrh' ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine COM
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious.
Avoid limitations.
