San Francisco, Sept. 22.-With the ar
rest of Mrs. Martha Everett, alias Catch
ing, for having obtained money by false
pretenses, a novelty in the way of conf
dence games was brought to light yester-
day. few days ago John Daily saw an
advertisement in a local paper to the eff
feet that a half interest in a delicatassen
store on Fourth street was for sale cheap.
Being DESTROYS of embarking in business,
DAILY went to look at the place and found
Mrs Everett surrounded with every evil
dence of a prosperous little business.
Along the walls hung rows of nice fat
sausages and hams and smoked fish.
while the shelves held dozens OF cans OF
corned beef There were kegs of ostensi-
bic tripe and pigs feet dried beef. cheese
and tins OF picked goods, and Mrs Ev-
erett showed him a large consignment OF
eggs in cases and barrels of butter DAILY
Immediately closed the deal and soon ar
terward took charge Of the store. as his
partner wanted to so into the country for
a few days.
The first morning he opened up he made
a discoverydsHe lifted the egg cases and
found that only the top layers bore fruit.

But the cruelest sham Of all was the

filled with wind, and each one was ball

From Catarrh in Any of It's
Many Forms?
Abbo Offers You a Treat
ment That Cures.
A Wonderful Discovery That Has My3tifiGd and
Amazed the Medical World,

The greater portion of the human race
are to be numbered among the sufferers
from Catarrh, and a larger percentage of
mankind is attacked by this disease than
by any other ailment known to the medi-
cal profession. No complaint Is probably
more annoying and disagreeable and few
have worse results. In its minor stage
cata.rrh attacks the head and throat and
carries with 1t a dizziness and ringing in
the head, deafness and loss of taste and
smell. The most disagreeable and annoy
ing features of the disease at this stage is
the offensive odor of the breath and which
is one Of the unmistakable symptoms of
catarrh. This condition Is not only dis
comfort of the worst kind to the sufferer
but is unpleasant to those with whom they
are brought in contact.
Such a plight is to be dreaded but worse
still is the much more serious state into
which a catarrhal victim is sure to drift
unless proper and effectual methods are
brought into service to check and eradi-
cate the disease. When you are suffering
from those continual colds, when your
head is becoming stopped up and ring
ing sensation is felt; when your throat is
itching and burning and you are constant
ly hawking, and splitting to remove from
it some substance that 1t would seem had
lodged there; when you are troubled with
pains across the forehead and eyes, you
probably are not aware that these dsor-
ders are but the forerunners of a misera-
BILE disease that viii insiduously work it's
way to the lungs, the stomach, the kid
neys, the bladder and eventually impreg-
nate every organ of the body until the
patient finds his whole system in it's
clutches, and life but a miserable waiting
for the end.
ABBO'S WONDERFUL TREATMENT.
Abbo offers you a means of escape. He
puts at your service discovery that has
made his name familiar from one end of
the county to the other. A discovery that
has mystified, perplexed and amazed the
greatest physicians and specialists of both

is mysterious in its simplicity and at the
same time of such powerful curative prop
critics. A discovery that is the result Of ma
