Tries an Outside Issue to Get Money
and Succeeds.
Hugo Be ok is member of the firm of
Beck Bros, wholesale liquor dealers at
30S North Franklin street. Last month
trade was rather dull and Mr.. Beck con-
ceived the idea of increasing his per-
sOnal bank account by outside specula-
ton. Several means suggested them
selves, but each required a considerable
outlay of money. After juggling his
brain for some time friend suggested a
lottery ticket as the best investment for
a small amount of money, and Mr.. Beck,
acting on the advice, purchased a one
fifth ticket in the old reliable Honduras
National Lottery. 1t was his first eX-
perience with a lottery company and it
required much persuasion on the part
of Mr.. Beck's friends to cause him to
buy the ticket. The same friends were
compelled to urge Mr.. Beck to scan the
official list of the drawing to ascertain
if his ticket had drawn a prize. For
tune had beer kind to the liquor dealer,
and he learned that his ticket No. 81,
16l, had drawn one-fifth of the third
capital prize OF so 900.
Overjoyed he informed all of his
friends of his good fortune, and the
lucky ticket was sent to the company
for payment.
To-day the money arrived, and when
Mr.. Beck was seen by reporter for The
Dispatch he was indeed happy man.
Mr.. Beck is a man who understands the
value of dollar, and desires to state
that he will invest the sum secured in
real estate.

our word for it. They have in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses in curative power over this
fatal malady all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy 'emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
