A CoUNTERFElTER CAUGHT.
The Police Of Syracuse Make an Import

The Police Of Syracuse Make an Import
ant Capture.
On Monday the 10Th, Harold Msrquisee, OF
Utica, n. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, n,
Y, on a warrant sworn out by the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., charging him with
forgery. On the 18th Of December Marqui.
see visited a photo engraver In Syracuse,
saying be was the representative OF the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for
the making Of full set Of plates for the d.
rectlon sheets, tables, etc, of the famous
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
News OF this reached the home office, and
no time was lost in arranging for his arrest
when he should return for the plates. He
returned on the 18th and was accordingly
arrested and is now in Jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination.
This arrest proves TO be an important one.
In addition to various plumber, such as
medical books, typewriters, rugs, ETC.,
found in Mar9uisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
In the trunk and on his person. and in
search Of his apartments at Utica found
a complete outfit for counterfeiting con-
sisting Of cruciblss, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, antimony, small blacksmith
forge, charcoal furnace, and several
plaster-of-p paris molds. The United States
marshals want him just as soon as the DR..
Williams Medicine Co. are through with
for a long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeiting operations, he showed
his knowledge Of the proprietary medical
business; for these pills are in such great
demand that they are easily sold at any
drug store in the United States. His scheme
was TO work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at q discount Of from per
cent to per cent, explaining the reduced
price by the fact that he had picked them
up in small lots and at a discount from
dealers who were over-stocked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds Of dollars in
short time. The proprietors of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills are most fortunate to
have caught the rogue, before he had fair
ly started, and to have thus kept these
spurious goods out of the market.

pleasure in commanding DR.. b. j. Kay and
his work. DR.. Kay is we'll known in this
and many other states in the union. j be-
heve him to be an honest and honorable
man, one thoroughly worthy of the conf
dence OF the people. Those sending money
to DR.. Kay may rest assured that they will
receive the medicine ordered. He is pro-
fessed christian, and l believe true one.
He has been justly noted for his philan-
thropic and christian work. His gifts at
different times through his life have been
almost princely. l have good reason to
believe that the DR.. Kay's Renovator and
DR.. Kay's Lung Balm, which he makes and
sells, are valuable to those who need them,
as have seen them used with excellent re-
suits. Mr.. George W. Hervey, editor of
the Omaha Weekly World-Herald and
quite a number of other Omaha people
have been cured by these great remedies.
l write this testimonial because i actually

Smoking Meat without Fire.

It may sound absurd to make a statement
about smoking meat without a fire." for
it is a we'll known saying that where there
is smoke there must be fire" The
advance of science, however, has made this
idea obsolete, and to-day with the use o.
Krauser's Liquid Extract of Smoke it is
possible TO quickly, economically and sue
cessfully smoke meat wit lout fire This
liquid extract is made by distilling the
smoke from hickory wood and is absolutely
harmless. In fact, meat smoked by this
method has genuine smoke flavor, re
mains moist and soft, ana Is not infested
with insects. Every objection of the old
method is overcome, every trouble ended
and the unsightiy and dangerous smoke
house is a thing of the past. Krauser's
Liquid Extract of Smoke long ago passed
the age of experiment. and thousands are
using it to-day with profit and satisfaction
BY writing L. Krauser q Bro, Milton, Pa.
those who are interested can secure free OF
charge instructive printed matter about
methods of curing and smoking all kinds
of meats.
