Fl. II. WARMERS DOWNF ALL
He Loses Every Dollar at Monte
Carlo.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. 10.-H. 81.
Warner. of Rochester, the patent med
icine man, who made s7,OO0,OO0 out of
the LOG Cabin" remedies which were
so extensively advertised everywhere,
has returned home from Europe penni-
less. He left the last of his fortune at
Monte Carlo.
Mr.. Warner went to Europe about
two mouths ago. He was supposed at
that time 10 be nearly bankrupt. He
had made an assignment for the benefit
of his creditors, and his beautiful house
| and observatory had been sold 10 help
meet his Indebtedness. His fall had
been swift. He began to lose money
with the earliest indications OF the bus
iness depression, and his fortune was
soon sliding away from him. Creditors
got judgments and executions. and,
being unable to realize on some of his
investments. he was helpless to avert
the avalanche. When 1t was nearly
over he took European trip OH the
advice of his friends. 1t was also his
intention to try to float the stock of a
company organized for the manufacture
of beet sugar. In this scheme he was
associated with William Cannard. who
in Mr.. Warmers days of prosperity had
drawn salary of $1,000 year as one of
the advertising writer's.
By arrangement Mr.. Warner met Mr..
Cannard and Mrs. Cannard in Paris.
They planned pleasure trip to Monte
Carlo. Mr.. Warner could not resist the
temptations there, and soon lost the
| ready money he had with him. He
secured a loan from Mr.. Cannard. and
lost that playing a system. Tnis left
the party somewhat impaired for funds.
but Mrs. Cannard stepped into the
breach. She is beautiful young
woman, who was in Mr.. Warmers en-
| ploy before her marriage, and she had a
| lot of splendid diamonds, some of which
were the gifts of Mr.. Warner at and
| since her marriage, for he was generous
| to his employees. She went to one OF the
| numerous pawn shops near Monte Carlo
and pawned her diamonds for 10000
| francs, which she turned over to Mr..
| Warner TO continue at his system.
| Luck came his way, and when he left
the bank at the end of the second
days play he had 10000 francs. He
| gave an elaborate dinner that night to a
few friends. and Mr.. and Mrs. Cannard
entreated him to 60 with them to Paris
before he lost the money. He refused,
saying that his success had proved his
system, and the next day found him in
his seat at the Casino. He played three
days and lost every franc. He raised
enough money to get to Paris, and
there met an old friend. Rochester
business mau, who gave him money
enough TO pay his passage home. He
left Mr.. and Mrs. Cannard in Paris
Mr.. Warner has told the story of his
play to his friends. He is confident that
there are good things in store for him
in the future, and that he will be rich

Reward of $1,000

for the apprehension of the wreckers,
the county ana state will be asked to
add to the reward.
There are two theories as to the
wrecking of the train, it being conceded
that the train was derailed by the re-
moval of the rails for part of the way
across the trestle. There is plenty of
evidence to prove this as fact. A fish
plate and the bar with which il had
been wrenched loose, were found near
the trestle after the wreck occurred.
One theory is that strikers from South
Omaha did the work, believing that
company of state troops. who were to
have boarded the train at Fairbury.
were aboard. The company missed
connection, however. This Is not as
generally credited as the other-that

MINNIE CAN NAVIGATE,
River Bill Provides for q Loci
Between st. Paul and the Falls

Between st. Paul and the Falls.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The river
and harbor appropriation bill, which
has been agreed to in both houses, pro-
vides for three new projects which have
long been sought by the senators who
have the credit of securing their adop.
tiOn. They are boat railway to over
come the distractions at The Dalles of
the Columbia river in Oregon and
Washington; another Is for canal to
connect Lakes Union and Washington
with Puget sound, and the third is to
begin the construction Of a lock in the
Mississippi river between st. Paul and
Minneapolis, to extend the head of
navigation to the last-named place.
The lock is to be placed in the Missis-
sippi river between Minneapolis and st.
Paul, and contemplates lock and dam
in the rapids midway between the two
cities. which make feasible the naviga-
ton OF the Mississippi to Minneapolis.
When the river and harbor bill passed
the Fifty-frst congress the entire Mis-
sissippi river was put under the contin-
ulng contract system. There remains
quite large uneXpended balance set
apart for the upper reach of the river,
and 1t Is this appropriation which will
be diverted to the construction Of the
lock and dam.

NUPrIAL KNOTS GALORE.
They Bob Up to Plague . Man
Seeking q Fortune.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D, Aug. lO.-There
is matrimonial puzzle before Judge
Jones in this city which several prom.
inent attorneys are trying to solve. The
trouble is, the different sidessare fgur-
ing on two separate and distinct propo.
SitlonS. 1t is probate case, and in.
wolves the legality of several marriages.
In 1888 Mr.. aud Mrs. Louis Pomlicu
were residents of Minneapolis. Pom
lieu, for some unknown reason, desert
ed his wife. and for several years she
waited his return, and finally concluded
that he had joined the great majority.
She finally met Thomas Stanford, and.
after couple of days courtship, they
were married in October, 1888. They
were apparently happy in each Others
company and the children, for there
were eight or nine children beloug-
ing to the. Pomliens, until 1892.
when their peace was disturbed
by the reappearance of Pom
lieu. who claimed his wife. She re-
turned to him, and Stanford. seeing
that he was not in it, went to Madison,
S. d. Here he soon met Mrs. Olive
Corby, woman who had outliyed three
husbands and had attained the age of
seventy-fv years. They were married.
in 1892. and in 1898 the wife died. She
left about $1,000 worth of property,
which by will she bequeathed to her
daughter, with the exception of $1,000
for her husband. He is now contesting
the will, asking for permission to live on
the homestead for the remainder of his
life and for $1,000 worth of personal
property.
The claims set up by the respective
sides are quite complicated. Attorneys
for the estate claim that Pomlieu lett
his wife in May, 1888, and that it was
over five years before he returned.
Under the statute of the state of Min
nesota, a man by deserting his wife or
wife her husband for five years, voids
the marriage contract. This being
/ true. Stanford is the husband of Mrs.
Pomlieu and his marriage with Mrs.
Colby was illegal, and consequently he
has no claim to the properly.
The other side, however, comes in
and claims that Pomlieu did not desert
until May, 1884, and returned before
the five years were up. In this event
Stanford's marriage with Mrs. Pom
lieu was illegal and his marriage with
Mrs. Colby was according to law. He
claims therefore as the husband of the
deceased the right to the property.
