Professor Hilgard

of the University of California,
in his annual report for the
year 1890, writing about
VERONICA MINERAL WATER,
says:
CAS- purgative this water is
very effective, and not painful
in the least. 1t was a medicinal
water used by the Indians. The
composition of this water is very
unusual, in fact, the compost
ton is very remarkable. as it
contains nearly every chemical
element of value to the human
system, whether to become a
part of the membraneous secre-
tions, the blood or the bones"

LEADYILLE'SHIGHWAYMAN
He Held Up Nearly All the Saloon
Keepers in Town But Now He's
Behind the Bars.

LeadvilIe, Col, May 3.-Ray McCor-
mick of Kansas City, in the role of the
lone highwayman, has been terrorizing
LeadviIe saloon keepers for the last
six weeks. He is now in Jail.
Sunday night he held up Jim Far
relI's saloon and walked off with 500
and much jewe1ry. Last night he en-
tered Tom RObinson's liquor store when
the proprietor was alone and, at the
point of a gun, secured S270 and jew
elry. He was masked with a veil, and
when this was accidently thrown aside
Robinson saw the features.
Today Robinson recognized his mid
night visitor on the street and caused
his arrest. He proved to be a walking
arsenal no less than six revolvers be-
ing found on him. His room was raid
ed and the booty of last night found,
also the veil and suit of clothes he then
wore.

INSCRIPTIONS AGENTS.
Often Responsible for Withdrawal of
Eastern Money.

To the Editor of The State Journal.
The article in the Kansas City Star
quoted by you on the 18th is misleading
in many particulars. The New Eng
land Loan e Trust company made quite
a number of loans in Mcpherson cOun-
ty in 1894 to my personal knowledge,
and the reason for withdrawal of east
ern money is not as stated in the Star
article, but such withdrawal was
caused by the reckless lending of east
ern money through unscrupulOus
agents, who cared for nothing but the
making of large commissions on excess
i've loans that the borrowers never ex-
pected to pay.
1 sold a quarter section of land for
S1,050, the purchase money for same BE-
ing procured through d loan of $500 on
the same land without any additional
improvements, and there were many
such loans made, the final result being
ownership of the land by the eastern
lender.
It is true that bad legislation had
something to do with driving capital
from the state, but the interest law of
1889 caused more of a scare than any
other law, and the redemption law that
was passed in 1898 would have been
passed in 1889 had not money been used
to stave it off This can be proven beyond
any doubt Let the truth be told and
the blame placed where it belongs. Re
specially,
