ANOTHER REDWOOD SCRAPE.
A System Of Swim Hing aud Forgery il
Exposed.
Dr. Beard Of the Defunct F Fairfax Bank a
Factor in the Shady Transaction.

The Redwood correspondent Of the
Minneapolis journal has his hands full
keeping track of the scandals that occur
In his immediate neighborhood. Last
week he reported the unearthing of a
system of swindling, in which forgery
is exposed, because of which the London
& Liverpool & Globe and the New York
Underwriters insurance companies will
step payment on all adjusted insurance
on the Park hotel of this city.
The Gazette claims that on Jan. 20,
1894, ex-President Joseph A. Beard, of
the defunct Bank of Fairfax, and Frank
|. Gleason, formerly of Saltwater, doing
an insurance and loan business in this ci-
ty under the firm name OF Gleason & Co. :,
were making loaLs for farmer nam ed
Sylvester Davis. On that day Bert Da-
Wis, son Of Sylvester signed the name of
mythical John B. Alexander, of Rock
county, Wis, to power of attorney,
giving Sylvester Davis full powers to
carry on his business in this county. The
signature was witnessed by Beard and
Gleason, and the latter took notarial ac-
acknowledgements Davis and his son have
confessed, and claim that Beard and
Gleason knew the acknowledgement and
witnessing were false. Under this pow
er Of attorney loans were made in the
county and taxation was escaped. Usuri-
Gus interest is claimed to have been
charged. and the borrowers propose to
fight out the matter in the courts.
Davis was a three-quarters owner of
the Park hotel property, destroyed by
fire on March 7. Beard was the owner
of the rest. The building was insured
for $3,2O0 in the London & Liverpool g
Globe company. while the stock was in
sured for 81, 100 in the New York Tn
derwriters' for which companies Gleason
was agent. The 1ire was thought to be
incendiary. The adjusters pointed out
two places where the building had been
set on fire. 1t is reported that they have
been investigating the matter ever since.
Now Davis claims that Gleason has at
tempted to beat him out of his insur-
ance money unless he would share it.
Gleason attempted to get DAVIS to pay
him 800 Immediately after the fire as a
bonus for seeing that the loss was prop
erly settled. Davis refused but finally
agreed that Gleason was to have $500
and paid $50 on the spot, and with that
Gleason left the city.
Davis appeared before Sheriff Mead
Monday and made a clean breast of the
power of attorney transaction. 1t is ex-
pected that the truth as to the burning
of the Park hotel will now come out.
Boards bank a. Fairfax suspended two
or three years ago, amid a great sensa-
ton. The depositors did not realize 10
cents on the dollar, and many of them
were poor people. Gleason came to Red
wood from Saltwater, has been city re-
corder, and was deputy sheriff under the
Blethen regime.
Complaints were made out in the case
yesterday afternoon and warrants is
sued. Davis will be brought to town
this morning. The locations OF Glea.
son and Beard are still unknown.

SMALL BEGINNINGS

May make great endings sometimes.
Ailments that we are apt to consider
trivial often grow, through neglect, into
atrocious maladies, dangerous in them
selves and productive of Others 1t is
the disregard of the earlier Indications
of i'll health which leads to the establish
ment of all sorts of maladies on chronic
basis. Moreover, there are certain dis
orders incident to the season, such as
malaria and rheumatism, against which
it is always desirable to fortify the sys-
tenn after exposure to the conditions
which produce them. Cold, damp and
miasma are surely counteracted by Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. After you
have incurred risk from these influences,
wineglassful or two of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters directly afterward
should be swallowed. For malaria, dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, kidney and blad-
der trouble, nervousness and debility it
is the most deservedly popular of rene
dies and preventives. A wineglassful be-
fore meals promotes appetite.

1t makes people well!
1t builds up the weakened, shattered
nerves; it sends new life and blood
through the arteries.
Where everything else has failed Paine's
: gery Compound-the greatest achieve
ment of that giant among men, the ablest
physician of this generation, Prof. Ed
ward q. Phelps, M. D., LII. D., of Dart
mouth-this wonderful Paines Celery
Compound has in thousands of cases
cured disease.
1t has freed old age from many of its
infrmities. 1t has made thousands of
lives worth living that were once a bur-
den. 1t has proven itself SO easily the
greatest of all spring remedies, making
the weak strong and the intirm well, that
in the big cities, New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, st. Louis and the
rest, the leading newspapers, making
their own canvasses, have found that the
demand for Paine's Celery Compound is
enormous, as far surprising that of any
other remedy as the curative power, OF
this great compound does indisputably
surpass that of any other.
For Paine's Celery Compound is not a
patent medicine. 1t is not an ordinary
Rtonic sarsaparilla or nervine. 1t is so
