FRAKER Is FOUND.
The Missing Doctor Discovered in The

Minnesota Woods. HIS
Identity.
Duluth, MINI. Sept. DIR.
George ". Fraker was arrested 20
miles from Tower, mining town on
the Vermillion range, this county,
ninety.six miles from Duluth on
Sunday. He was brought into Tower
Sunday evening and to-day admitted
his guilt, and agreed to go back
without the formality of requisition
papers. He arrived in Duluth at
Ills this morning and left few
minutes later for the west. He was
arrested by deputy sheriff Phillips,
accompanied by Robert T. Herrick,
an attorney who represents a pool
OF insurance companies, and John
Wilkinson, chief of police ofTopel1a,
Kansas.
Herrick and Wilkinson reached
Tower on Saturday afternoon and
made inquiries Of several people if
they had seen person answering to
a description which he gave. He de.
scribed man of about 40 years of
age, smoothly shaven, but no one
could tell him of any such person
having been seen in that section.
Finally, however, he met a man who
was certain that tine person descrb.
ed was in the county but said to
him, ''he has sideburns instead of
being smoothly shaven."
Mr.. Herrick at once concluded
that the man described was the per.
son for whom he was looking, ard,
securing the services of deputy
sheriff Phillips, at once supplied
themselves with provisions and
proce eded into the woods twenty
miles from Tower, where they came
across a hut, the sole occupant of
which was man who, in answer to
an inquiry said he was the servant
Of WIN. Schnell. The officers asked
him where Schnell was and he re-.
piled that he was out hunting. In
order to prevent the servant from
giving an alarm upon the approach
OF Schnell, they hand.cuffed him
and proceeded on their way.
| About two miles further on,
Schnell, with gun on his shoulder,
was met and instantly recognized as
the supposed dead man, DR.. Fraker.
Herrick engaged him in conversa-
ton, when suddenly Phillips seized
his arms and Wilkinson put on the
hand cuffs. Fraker thought he had
been arrested for killing game out
OF season, as Phillips was also game
warden. When the warrant was
read to him he was thunderstruck,
but admitted his identity at once.
His nerve. however, never deserted
him for an instant, and he discussed
the matter philosophically, saying:
"Well, I'm, glad 1 don't have tc
worry about it any more"
He was brought to Tower, arriy
ing there at 6:15 Sunday night. He
remained in charge of the officer
over night, and this morning was
taken to the Iron Range depot
where he boarded the train for Du
luth. He confessed that he was the
party for whom they were in search
and expressed his willingness tc
return to Kansas without the formal
ity OF requisition papers. He ac
cordingly proceeded on his journey
in charge of the officers. without be
ing taken to either the county iai
or the central police station in this
city.
Sheriff Butchart, in speaking o.
the affair last night. said that he re-
gsrded it as strange that the mar
was not brought to the :county jail
"He was arrested" said he, ''by ON

Natural Gas as destroyer of Lesthe
bindings

Natural Gas as a Destroyer of Leather
Bindings.
II has long been observed here in
Wheeling BY book sellers and book buy
ers that leather bound books, and par
ticularly books bound In what is known
as sheep-mostly law and medical
works went 10 pieces very fast under
the influence OF our climate, aud that
this destructive effect was very much en-
HANGED by the introduction of natural
gas.
Mr.. Frank Stanton, who has had
many inquiries as TO the cause and
cure, addressed a letter to the Pub
fishers Weekly, month or so ago, and
II and the answer are here submitted
for public information.
"WuEELINs, W. Va, November % 1904

"Csn you tell me, or lind out through your
paper. what Is tue best oil 20 use on leather

Yours truly. F. STANTON"
Natural gas is q new agent in the de-
struction OF BOOKS. Ordinary Illuminating
gas has long been recognized as an active
deteriorant Of leather on account of the
heat generated by il and because Of the
sulphuric acid produced, which is absorbed
by bindings Of Russia, calf, or sheep, with
INJURIOUS results. Morocco is, as a rule,
but little affected. The effect Of natural
bod
seems 10 be very similar TO that produced
by ordinary Illuminating gas viz,
the abstracting Of moisture by
evaporation. leading to drying,
cracking aud separating at the sides. The
best authorities seem 10 agree on vaSeline
as the most successful lubricant. 1t may DO
used on almost every kipd of binding-full
calf or morocco, half-clOth or marbled
paper sides, aud clOth-but has best re-
suits on leather or cloth. The binding
should be thoroughly and evenly rubbed
with the vaseiine, so that il may be equal

and the general impression of greasines are
said todisappear within few hours. OF
cOurseitis necessary to use il cautiously at
first; but iudiciOus experimenting has thus
far led 70 satisfactory results. Preparations
of glycerine are also used for this pur-
pose. and as a means OF restoring rubbed,
broken, or decayed leather bindings, the
following process is recommended by a
writer in Bookstore: Plaster the broken
parts with paste 10 ill up the crevices,
then take the yOlk Of an egg, beat IL up
with a fork and apply il to the leather
with a sponge, having first cleansed IL
with a dry cloth. To produce polished
surface hot iron must be passed over it."
Some Of our readers may have personal
experience with the effects Of aatural gas
on bindings, and may know of a practical
method Of restoring damaged bindings or
how 10 prevent damage through this
agency. If so, it would be OOlth useful
and interesting 10 bring the resu { Of their
experiments to the notice Of the trade in
general through the columns Of The Pub
fishers Weekly.-Ed. Z. W.

The purchase of the Monongah rail-
road running from Fsirmont TO Clarks-
burg is q valuable aQulsition to the B.
& o. According to 4 dispatch, also, a
deal is consummated by which the Bal
more and Ohio Company gets possession
Of the West Virginia and Pittsburg
road, which extends from Clarksburg o
Camden-on-the-Gauley, Assistance Of 100
miles. This gives the Baltimore and
Ohio direct line from Pttsburg to the
latter Doi0t. The plan is TO extend the
line from Camden to Charleston, through
the interior Of West Virginia, where IL
will connect with the Chesapeake and
Ohio. giving the Baltimore and Ohio 3
direct line through the most valuable
coal and timber sections OF West Vir-
GINA. Both these lines have been run
in connection with the Baltimore and
Ohio since the completion OF the State
Line branch.
In these deals the B. &. o. steals
long march on the PennsYlvania com
pany, which has been after these roads.
Ia addition to these, the B. Sc o., as
published In yesterdays Register, has
purchased the Tunnellton and King
wood narrow gauge railroad which will
be made standard and extended to
Georgetown.
We can only look with regret upon
the general drift OF the valuable trade
OF that section OF the State TO Pitts
burg. II Is better. however, that the
system should be controlled by the B.
q o., whose main line runs through
wheeling, than 0y the Pennsylvania or
other road without direct connection
with Wheeling other than through
Pittsburg. The B. & o. sin position
20 favor Wheeling ia the West Virginia
carrying trade as other roads are not.

In fit OF mental alteration the feath-
er-brained Intelligeneer makes this as
tonishing assertion;
Ii we had the Mckinley tariff instead Of
the Wilson German tariff everybody would
take hold of the New Years business with
a diherent feeling. The next best thing IS
the go0dly promise that the country will

Had the country believed this before
last November even the hard times aud
the determination to rsprimand the De-
mocrats 10 Congress for their DELAY IN
passing the tariff bill would not have
availed to make the country turn the
Democrats out with the alternative OF
uniting the Republican party in.
The shrewd Republican leaders knew
this and in the last campaign RepuoH-
can organs, including the Intellieencer,
and Republican stumpers with Reed at
their head. loudly promised the country
fresdom from further tariff legislation

desire of the country was not to put
the Republicans in, but 10 turn the old
Congress OUT On the question OF the
tariff it had given its judgment over
whelmingly twice before and that ques-
ton was settled.
The assertion to the contrary by the
Intslligencer at this late day, after its
ante-campaIgn denials Of that very
assertion when made by others
before the election, is very absurd.
Our nelghbor can safely venture to
vapor thus in the endeavor TO make
little paltry political capital, consider
ing a Democratic President will be In
the White House TILL '97 at least, and
the steady aud repeated refusal OF the
great Republican West to discuss Me-
Kinleyism with anything but loud and
deep iDvectiye and execration, but the
most our neighbor will gain will be the
laughter aud contempt Of people OF
common sense, who contrast its last
