burglar alarm which will prevent any
successful attempt to rob that bank.

the bank, which can be touched in

Wonderful Cures in Wisconsin.

DR.. Warner-Dear Sir: Last March
my children were taken down with
the measles, which left four of them
with very bad coughs. My oldest
daughters case became so alarming
that we feared she would have quick
consumption. Tried many different
medicines, recommended for coughs
and lung complaints, but all to no pur-
pose. One of my neighbors recon-
mended your White Wine of Tar
Syrup, as one bottle had cured nearly
every man in camp where he worked
of severe colds, and my family COM
menced taking it. In three days we
saw great change for the better and
they did not use the whole of one
bottle before their coughs were cured.

PASSED THROUGH WELLS.
The Second Sherburn Bank Robber
Taken Back and ConfesseS.

Special to the FREE PRE-:
WELLS, Mimi, Oct. 12.-Sheriffs
Wash. Hill, of Fairmont, and Sandy
Mcdonald, of Blue Earth City, passed
through on the west bound Milwau-
kekk train at a. m. train today with
the second Sherburn bank robber and
murderer. He will be taken to Fair
mont.
The prisoner refused to give his
name or residence on account of his
parents, but this morning broke down
and confessed everything to Nc
Donald and Hill. He lays the shoot
ing to his dead companion, and says
he was led into it. They had agreed
to the robbery and murder, and were
to meet at Albert Lea on the 18th.
The prisoner is smooth faced
man of not more than % years, and
resembles the class of country boys
who loaf about small pool and billiard
rooms.
About 200 people met'the train al
the depot, and it had hardly come to
a standstill before the curiosity seek
ers crowded their way through the
narrow aisle sto get a look at the
prisoner. His handouts were hidden
by newspaper which Sheriff Hill
had placed over them. The murderer
trembled like leaf, evidently fearing
lynching, but Sandy Mcdonald says
such an event is not even expected.

CONGRESSMAN TAWNEY very prop.
erly gave the lie to the ReUieaU Satur-
day night for saying that he declined
to enter joint debate with Prof.
Cation at Lake Crystal the night be-
fore. The ReUieao should be in better
business than telling deliberate lies
even in a political campaign. 1t can
make no converts for free silver by
such methods, while it exhibits it's
own and it's party's desperation by so
doing. Mr.. Tawney is much too large
a man to be afraid of such a small
calibred individual as Cation.
