KNEW A GOOD THING.
Kansas People Are Taken in by
Three Sharpe rs.
They Went Daft Over Rights to
Sell a Patent Washing
Compound.

FORT SCOTT, Kans., Dec. 16-The resi-

west OF this city are Wrought up over the
fact that number of their citizens have
been swindlrd out of cash, stock and prop
erty to the extent of at least SIS 600 by
three sharpers who prOfesSed to be the in
ventors OF a washing compound for which
they claimed wonders. and fer which they
were selling State AMI territorial rights
They came to Bronson about two months
ago and claimed to he brothers, giving
their names as d fl, from Little Rock.
After remaining IN the little city several
days he three men rented an Office and
| soon became acquainted with the leading
business men and citizens of the little
place. They explained the merits of their
mys erieus washing compound. and soon
succeeded In working up a crest interest
in the new fluid.
Bankers, farmers, merchants and me-
chanics all caught the money-making
fever. and all wanted to purchase terri
tory In which TO sell the labor-saVing
preparation, and soon contracts were
being closed in all parts of the city and
the closely surrounding country.
Many prominen busines men, other rep
utable citiz-ns and farmers secured terri
tory. paying for it in cash and mortgages
on their farms and property. The sharp
ers were very accommodating. and were
willing to take any kind OF property in ex-
change for their territorial rights. For the
State of Iowa they secured from bank
cashier several blOoded horses and jacks.
among which were the well-known race
horses Dick Huntington and Mollie Brown.
Michigan was secured by jewery firm,
who traded their entire stock of jewelry
valued at S2500 Other ates, counties
and Territories were secured by other c:ti-
zpns for various sums ranging from 500 10
$1,000. a few days ago the three swindlers
gathered together their pro perty, consist

TO the extent of $4,000 and three carloads of
fine horses. and without notice left the
country. The stock was consigned to
themselves at Little Rock, and FROM this it
is supposed they are now ID that city.
Many of those who bought territory re-
fused to believe they have been swiudled
and think that they have fortune in
sight. but the more conservative victims
now see that they have been played by
profession al swindlers and that he terri
tory they have purchased has already been

THOSE ALLEGED ATROCITIES.
Chinese Killed at Port Arthur Were
Disguised Soldiers.


WASHINGTON. Dee 16.-A telegram has
been received al the japanese Legation in
relation to the atrocities alleged to have
been committed by the japanese on the
capture of PortArthur. The Government
at Toxic is not vet in possession of full
details Of the affair, but the information
already at hand shows conclusively that
some Of the reports which have been cir
culated concerning the conduct Of the
Japanese troops are exaggerated and mis-
leading.
II there was unnecessary bl0odshed the
Japanese Government cannot but believe
there must have been some inciting cause
for the behavior of the japanese troops, as
hitherto II has bren most exemplary. at
times under circumstances calculated to
excite feelings of the deepest resentment
and animosity. II Is known to be a fact
that the great maj rity Of those Chinese
who were killed at Port Arthur were not
peaceful inhabitants, but Chinese soldiers
disguised in civilian dress.
Most of the inhabitants fed from the
place several days before its capture, and
at the present time have returned and are
permitted to remain without molestation
or restraint. The Japanese Government
and us representatives have no dlsDosl-
ton TO conceal any Of the faels, but on the
contrary has caused The stTictest Investi-
CATION. the results Of which Will De

Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Mnety-eighf per cent. of all
cases of Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be in
durable, there is the evidence of hun
dTeds living witnesses to the fact that,
IN all its earlier stages, consumption is
durable disease. Not every case, but q
large percentage Of cases, and we believe,
fully 08 per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, even after
the disease has progressed so far as
to induce repeated bleedings from the
lungs, severe lingering cough with CO.
p1ous expectoration (including tubercu-
lar matter), great loss of flesh and ex-
treme emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such
cases reported to us as cured by "Gold-
en- Medical Discovery" were genuine
cases of that dread and fatal disease?
You need not take our word for it They
have, IN nearly every instance, been so
pronounced by the best and most ex-
perienced home physicians, who have
no interest whatever in r1isrepresenting
them, and who were often strongly pref
udiced and advised against trial of
Golden Medical Discovery" F" but who
have been forced to confess that it sur
passes, in curative power over this fatal
malady, all other medicines with which
they are acquainted. Nasty cod liver
oil and its filthy " emulsions " and mix
lures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to
benefit, Oh had only seemed to benefit a
little for short time. Extract of malt.
whiskey, and various preparations of the
hypophosphites had also been faithfully
tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
