HELPED HIS BROTHER.
How an Illinois Deputy Treasurer
Came to Go Wrong.

CHICAGO, May County Treasurer
Kern said to-day that his cashier, Felix
Schweisthal, took S42, ,0G0 in sums of 5000
to $4,000 to tide along Michael SchWeis-
thai, the banker who failed some time ago.
Michael was brother of Felix. and both
thought the bankers embarrassment would
be only temporary. so Felix gave Michael
the cash aud put his checks in the drawer
as cash" When Treasurer Kern, after
the failure of the Sthweisthal Bank,
snspectng something wrong, examined his
cash, he discovered the drawer short S42. GOO
Felix turned over $4,000 worth of real
estate to his twn bOndsmen, who promptly
handed Mr.. Kern 81, ,0G0 in cash. The
matter became public this evening through
the announcement of the fact that two
others of SchwesthaPs bondsmen, NJ. T.
Devine and Bernard Roesing, had refused
to pay their portion, and that Treasurer
Kern had instructed his attorney to bring
suit against them. Criminal prosecution
OF Felix Schweisthal was refrained from
by Treasurer Kern through motives Of
friendship and pity for the young man,
who, he thinks, did not really mean to do
wrong.

Such Facts Should Have Most Powerful

This was surprising news for the little

facts are known and have been widely
commented on, and we believe our
readers will be deeply interested when
all the details are made known.
Mrs. Lewie NJ. Henderson resides at 1C

asked about the matter, spoke freely and
unreservedly.

II have received the greatest possible
benefit from its use, and both my hus-
band and myself believe that could not
have lived without it.
Facts like this speak volumes for this
medicine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy. If it.can make such
a remarKa BILE cure as that of Mrs. Hem
derson it is indeed a most wonderful
remedy, a medical discovery which is
the greatest blessing to our people. If it
will cure such bad case as Mrs. Hen
derson's was, it is an assured fact that
it will cure all who are ailing, run down
in health or out of order with poor blood
weak nerves, stomach, liver and kidney
diseases. 1t will surely make the weak
strong, the sick well. Besides it is pure
ly vegetable and harmless.
Doctors widely recommend its use. 1t

NATIONAL THANKSGIVING DAY.
BY THE PRESIDENT.


a FToclannatl
While the American people should every day
remember with praise and thanksgiving the
divine goodness and mercy which have followed
them since their beginning as nation, it is fit
ting that one day in each year should be espe-
cidIly devoted to the contemplation OF the bless
ing we have received from the hand of Ged,
and to the grateful acknowledgment OF his low
ing Kindness.
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, President of
the United States, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday the Both day of the present
month of November as a day OF thanksgiving
and praise, to be kept and observed by all the
people of our land.
On that day let us forego our ordinary work
and employmentS and assemble IN our usual
places Of worship where we may recall all that
God has done for us, and where from grateful
hearts our united tribute of praise and song
may reach the throne of grace.
Let the reunion of kindred and the social
meeting of friends lend cheer and enjoyment to
the day. and let generous gifts of charity for the
relief of the poor and needy prove the sincerity
of our thanksgiving.
Witness my hand and the seal of the United
States, which have caused to be hereto
affixed.
Done at the. City of Washington, on the
third day OF November. in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-three, and of the Independence of
