LOOKING FOR RYLANDER.
j. Nj. Carlson Charges an Ex-Ens
pIOye With Forgery.

j. M. Carlson, a contractor doing
business at 154 West Fourth street,
said yesterday that he probably would
take steps today to procure the arrest
of his former bookkeeper, j. A. Ry-
lander, whom he charges with forging
his name to three checks aggregating
$3.50. When he so informed a reporter
for the G e yesterday, he was
talking to n. p. Lundstrum, a saloon
keeper, at 457 st. Peter street who ex-
hibited check on the Union bank for
$7.2O, made payable to G.. A. Rylander,
purporting to have been drawn by j.
NJ. Carlson. Lundstrum said he had
cashed it for Rylander Thursday
morning. When the check had been
returned to Mr.. Carlson he pronounced
it forgery and Immediately suspect
ed Rylander, whom he had discharged
two weeks ago, of being it's author.
Suspecting also that his name might
have been used on other paper, Mr.
Carlson yesterday ordered all checks
made payable to or indorsed by Ry-
lander, stopped, and set about ascer-
tanning the extent of his former en-
ploye's alleged crookedness. Two more
checks were found at the clearing
house. which Mr.. Carlson declared to
be forgeries, though the imitation of
his signature was so perfect that he
was astonished at it's seeming accu-
racy. BOth OF the cheeks were drawn
on the Union bank and purported to
have been signed by Carlson. One
calling for So, made payable to ]. A
Rylander, had been cashed by John
Boden, a druggist doing business at
Seventh and Pine streets, while the
other, calling for $40, payable to an A.
W. Anderson, had been presented by
a depositor whose name could not be
accurately determined.
Mr.. Carlson stated that Rylander
had entered his employ, highly recon-
mended, last September, and though
he had several times noticed trifling
irregularities, he had not suspected
anything of a criminal nature until
two weeks ago, when he had sum-
marily discharged his bookkeeper.
Rylander also acted as collector for
Carlson and it was In this capacity
that he was first suspected by his en-
ployer, who said yesterday that he at
for his collections. Since discovering
the alleged forgeries, Mr.. Carlson says
he has made searching inquiries re-
garding Rylander's wherea bouts. and
not being able to find him, is of the
opinion that he has left the city. Be
fore swearing out a warrant Mr. Carl
son and Mr.. Lundstrum concluded to
delay action until today in order that
it might be aScertained if there was
any more of the paper in circulation.
Rylander, who is about twenty-five
years old, is said to have originally
come from Wisconsin, where his fam
lily is thought to reside at present

A WONDERFUL SIGHT
Thousands of People Avail Them
selves of the Generosity OF the
Kickapoo Indian Medicine
Company.

All day long yesterday hundreds of
people, representing all classes in life,
thronged the office of the ST. Paul
Globe in response to the advertise
ment stating that every one who called
there would receive free a bottle of
Kickapoo Indian Oil, Many hundreds
availed themselves of this opportunity
who had no immediate need for this
medicine, but who, having learned of
the wonderful curative powers of the
rare and costly oils Of which it is made,
took the opportunity to procure a bot
tie for future emergencies. Others
grasped the opportunity to get relief
from temporary pain, and in many in
stances the rapidfty with which this
medicine always acts was fully dem
onStrated ~
A poorly but neatly dressed woman,
evidently suffering severely with neu-
ralgia in her face asked for a bottle,
and then made inquiries as to how she
should use it. She did not wait to
leave the office before applying the
Kickapoo Indian Oil, and the smile of
relief which Illuminated her face al
most Immediately was convincing to
the many onlookers that she was sure
ly rid of her suffering. Upon expert
encing such wonderful relief she step
ped again to the counter and begged
another bottle, stating that her hus-
band had been flat on his back for six
weeks with rheumatism, and added
that she had during that time been
the sole support Of her family. AL
though the original intention was to
give but one bottle to person, under
the circumstances an appeal like this
could not be refused, and the woman
left the Office happy in the anticipa-
ton Of relieving her husband from
pain as quickly as she herself had been
helped, promising to return and let her
benefactors know the result.
Another incident which was rather
amusing was the case of a small
urchin not over twelve years old who
begged that some one would apply
some of the Kickapoo Indian Oil to
his ear which had been hurting him,
he said, as long as he could remember.
He evidently had great faith in the
medicine for a look of disappointment
came over his face when he found the
minute it touched his skin the pain
did not cease This, however was rap
idly followed by the most intense look
of delight when, within two minutes, he
found himself relieved from his tor
menting earache. Carefully corking
the bottle he departed, first asking,
however, whether it would be a good
thing for me little brother, who is
getting some teeth"
Notwithstanding the storm yesterday
2065 people awaited themselves of the
offer, and the agents of the Kickapoo
Indian Medicine company will undoubt-
eddy be kept busy for the rest of their
stay in town, as the fame of their
wonderful medicine is rapidly spread
ing, and many others will grasp the op-
portunity to procure bottle of their
precious Kickapoo Indian Oil as pres.

eye glass works were destroyed by fire this
morning. The works were to have started
UP today with non union hands. The fire
was of incendiary origin, and the building

was worth $l50.0O0. The fire was discovered
at O'Clock by Night Waterman Stewart.
