The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing it's
work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

The Suspect Arrested at Chicago
COnfesses His Identity.
He Admits That He is the New
York Defaulter.
FOOLED THE OFFICERS
His Cool DeniaIs Had Just About
Batfied Them.
But at Noon He Told Them His
Real Name

CHICAGO, Dec 1.-The New York
suspect under arrest here admitted
shortly before noon today that he is
Samuel G. SeeIy the abscondinR book
keeper of the National Shoe q Leather
bank. He declined to talk Of his case,
but said he was ready 10 60 back to New
York and would make no trouble. Seely
remarkable GOODNESS and persistency in
denying his indentity had completely
baffied the detectives and they had deter
mined to await the New \ Ork officers
before making further efforts. when
about noon the prisoner told his guard
that he wished to see the men in charge
of the detective force.
Inspector Shea and Lieutenant Haas
promptly responded, entering the in
spector's private office where the suspect
had been confined. "Be seated, gentle
men," Seely said affably as the officers
appeared, and somewhat dazed at his
nonchalance they sat down.
Now, gentlemen" he continued, Il
wish to thank you for your courtesy and
kindness since our meeting last night
have told you repeatedly that my name is
Dale. but l have become tired of
the deception. l had no sleep last night.
l am weary. My name is Seely-Samuel
c. Seely=Iate book-keeper Of the y Ia
tional Shoe and Leather bank Of New
York That is what / wished to say to
you"
your caseF" asked the inspector.
Not a thing. [ am ready and willing
to go back to New York. [ will not make
any trouble about extradition. So soon
as the proper New York officials arrive
| will 20 with them"
The officers attempted to secure some
sort Of statement from Seely regarding
his connection with the great steal, but
he carefully avoided making either adj
missions or denials. Finding his efforts
ia that line unavailing, Inspector Shea
ordered the man taken TO the Harrison
station where he was locked up in a cell
to await the arrival of the New York Of
ficers.
H. Z. MacFarland. the young man
whose information led to Seely's arrest,
said that Seely met him on the street, in
yited him TO the races, and after several
days mpaniOnship calmly informed
him that he was Samuel c. Seely, wanted
in New York for aiding in the theft of
$354, 900.
1t was believed by many Of the detec-
tives that the informant was an old ac-
quaintance of the fugitive and that the
allurements of the 81, 600 reward had got
the better Of his friendship On this sub
ject however, Seely was as silent as a
clam.

Civilized Nations.


Civilized Nations.
WASHINGTON. Dee. 1.-The instruc-
tions given by Lieut. Gen. Sakuma to the
second Japanese army governing the
treatment of the enemy in the pending
war are contained IN an issue Of the
Yokohama Mail summary recently re-
ceived here.
General Sakuma said that Japan being
the "hrst country Of the east which had
adopted civilization as her path,
held the responsible position to lead
other hitherto uncIvilized nations into
the way of civilization. So whatever
way the enemy may act japan must
tread the way of justice and while carry
ing reform into barbarous country, the
dignity Of Japan must be upheld in the
world"
He then specifies a number of condi-
tiOns, among them being that prisoners
shall not be mutilated or insulted, fires
shall not be set without cause and
soldiers shall refrain from all acts of
brutality
