Fake Advertising.

Monroe Journal
Town merchants delight to tell how
easy the farmers are caught by fake
peddlers who travel through the coun-
try selling dry goods, groceries, cloth
ing, and indeed everything needed for
family consumption, and yet there is
none more susceptible to the flattery
of the fakirs than the general run of
business and professional men. Let a
stranger come to town with any kind
of advertising fake and it is astonish-
ing how many business men will bite
at it. Take the last year and figure
over the number of advertising fake
schemes that have been worked up in
Monroe.

UNDER A FALSE NAME
Story Concerning the Late T. A.
Harris, of Kansas City.
Mrs. Ballentyne Says He Was Her Hus-
band, that He Deserted Her, Changed
His Name and Married Again.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb 13.-If the
claims of Mrs. Martha Ballantyne of Lon
donderry, Ireland, can be sustained the late
Thomas y. Harris, widely known in Kan
sas City as a real estate speculator and
the protector of many important enter
prises, led a dual life. Mrs. Ballantyne
says that Harris's real name was Ballan-
tyne, and that although she heard from
him frequently, the fact of his second mer-
riage and change of name was concealed
from her. She has filed an instrument au-
thorizing the law firm of Holton SS CO.,
Of New York, to represent her in such liti-
cation as may be necessary to establish
her dover right OF one-third in $4,000
worth of property handled by Harris"
during his Kansas City career Notice has
been served on present holders of the
property that suit Of ejectment will be
brought against them. Mrs. Ballantyne
says she was married about the year 1850.
and that two children were born to her.
When the civil war began in the United
States her husband came to America,
where he enlisted in the confederate army.
At the close of the war he went to Can
ada, thence to Michigan and finally came
to Kansas City.
Few men were better known in Kansas
Capt. Il. a. Harris. He was a daring
speculator. and was shrewd to an unusual
degree, accumulating a large fortune. He
started out in 1884 as the foreman of a
construction gang on the Belt line. and
branched out as a real estate Speculator on
mammoth scale. Harris was associated
in many of his deals with William :. Will
son, with whom he formed a partnership
under the style of 1T A. Harris & Will
SON." The latter is now said to be in
Omaha When the boom broke Harris was
caught and his fortune dwindled away. In
1889 he went to London, where he embarked
in the business OF promoting American
enterprises, brewerieS in particular. This
resulting in failure, he returned TO this
country and associated himself with H. H
Warner. of Rochester, in the business of
promoting" About a year ago Harris
died IN New York.
When Harris came to Kansas City he
brought with him a bride whom he had
married in a small town in Michigan, near
Detroit. She was a Miss Lizzie y. Corliss
Mrs. Harris is a woman OF refinement, and
II is certain that she knew nothing Of her
husbands former marriage She has no
children living. Her present address is De-

SHOT HIS WIFE AND CHILD.
A st. Louis Doctor Stays His Family and
Surrenders Himself to the Police.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-Dr. Duestrow, of No.
1724 South Compton avenue, walked into
the Reservoir police station shortly before
self. stating that he had accidentally shot
his wife. He refused to make any further
statement concerning the shooting further
than to say that it was accidental. Dues
trow was locked up and a police officer was
sent to investigate the affair. 1t was learned
later that the doctor had shot both his wife
and three-year-old boy. Arriving at the
house, IL was found that the child was
dead, with a bullet in his heart and one in
its head. The mother had received two
bullets in her head and was unconscious.
Her recovery is impossible, so the ply
sicians say. 1t is said that for some time
past Duestrow had not been living hap
PLY with his wife. From wound on his
head il is thought he attempted to kill
himself after shooting the other members
of his family. About O'clock he was seen
to drive up TO his residence, accompanied
by a man. Soon after entering the house
shots were heard, and Duestrow appeared
with his face covered with blood He inn
gave himself up. He is thought to be
feigning insanity or suffering from the ef-
fects of a protracted spree 1t is suspected
that Duestrow, who had been separated
from his wife, entered the house with the
intention Of taking away the child, and
meeting with opposition, shot both mother
and child. The shooting caused n sensa-
tion, the persons concerned are wealthy
and very prominent in society here. Ar
thur Duestrow Is the son of the late mil
lionaire, Louis DuestroS, who was at one
time president Of the Hope Mining Com
pany, and was connected with the Gran
ite Mountain Company. The couple had
been married four years, the unfortunate
Mrs Duestrow's former name being AL

in the case. Her name is Clara Howard.

free trade. They have diminished every
thing but the peoples debts. These go on.
The people want change and they
want 1t bad They want 1T sooner than
and they never wanted TO vote so badly in
all their history as they do to-day. They
are tired of their contract before the period
OF its legal termination. They are tired of
this tariff-tinkering, bond-issuing, debt-in-
creaSinG, treaSury-depleting, buSinesS-para-
lying, wage-reducing Queen-restoring adj
ministration. The country will not, how
ever, have long to wait-tOo long, / fear,
for many interests-until Ii can commence
the work of ousting. In November next
the House of Representatives, and, remem-
bering what the people have done in their
majesty, beginning last November, in Iowa,
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey,
Kansas, Illinois and Ohio, and in Chicago
in December, and in New York city in jan
uary, we cannot be mistaken to what
they will do next November. The Demo-
cratic House will be changed into a Repub-
lican House. Free trade domination will
give way 10 a protection majority. British
policy will be dethroned and genuine
Amercanism enthroned, and the final work
will be completed in November 1896, in the
restoration Of the Republican party, which,
through pique, and passion, and prejudice
was hurled from power IN 1892.
THE true American sentiment cannot be
trampled upon with impunity, and when so
trampled upon the national spirit swiftly
asserts it's mastery. The people OF the
United States have not lost love for their
own country and, having for thirty years
enjoyed the benefits and blessings result
ing from a genuine American policy, and
having had less than years experience
with the other and the un-American policy
practiced by the present administration,
tbev will as speedily as constitutional Op-
portunitS offers, displace the one ana re-
instate the other"

Echoes of the Western Storm.

CHICAGO, Feb 13.-MailS from the East
by the blizzard The Michigan Southern,
from New York, arrived eight hours late.
The Monon from Cincinnati, was twelve
hours late and other trains were equally
delayed. Mails from the West were about
on time. In Chicago the blizzard is over
and traffic has been resumed. About twen-
ty-five workingmen " no were imprisoned
all day yesterday and last night in the
temporary crib four miles out in the lake
were rescued by a tug to-day The fierce
storm rocked the frail structure, the spray
put out the fires and the men suffered in
tensely from cold. None OF them was Seri-
ously frozen.
Dispatches from the West and South
state that the storm spent its force last
night and railway and other traffic Is being
resumed In the Cherokee strip the blfz-
Zard was the worst recorded. A great
many lives have been lost and the suffering
from cold was intense The greatest loss
has been among the "strippers," who are
poorly provided with houses, food and
clothing.
In Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Ala
bama and Kentucky the storm was of a
tornado character. a great deal of prop
erty was destroyed and number of lives
lost
The correspondent of the Associated
Press at Guthrie tonight telegraphs the
following: There is no truth in reports
sent out from this country as to the suffer-
ing here from the cold. No one has applied
for aid as yet, and it is safe TO say that
so long as people have wheat to feed to
horses, as they do in this country, where
water and food is plentiful, suffering cam
not be known. No deaths have been re-
ported authentically."
