ant CaDture.


ant Capture.
On Monday the 18th, Harold Marquisee, OF
Utica, n. V, was arrested in Syracuse, NJ
Y. on q warrant sworn out by the DIR.
Williams Medicine CO., charging MN WIN
forgery On the 18th of December Marqul'
see visited a photo-engraver IN syracuse,
saying he was the representative OF the Or.
Williams Medicine Co, and arranged for
the making of full set of plates for the d.
rection 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 i'll Syracuse
awaiting examination.
This arrest proves to be an important one.
In addition to various plunder, such as
medical books, typewrlters. rugs, etc,
found in Marquisees trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in
q search of his apartments ut Utica found
a complete outfit for counterfeiting CON
ssting of crucibies, bellows, nickel, lead,
biSmuth, antimOny, small blacksmith
forge, charcoal furnace, and several
plaster-of-paris molds. The United States
marshais want him just as soon as the DIR.
Williams Medicine Co. are through with
him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced
for long period.
In selecting Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
his counterfeitiEg operations, he showed
his knowledge of the proprietary medical
business; for these pills are in such great
demand that they are easily sold ut any
drug store in the United States. His scheme
was to work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at 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 vino were over-stocked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds of dollars III
a short time. The proprietors of DIR. VIII
Iiams' 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.

PREPARING TO QUIT.
Tho Upper House Clearing the Way 70,
Early Final ADJOURNMENT

Tho Upper House Clearing the Way foi
Early Final Adjournment
The senate on the I'd gave the first
intimation that it was beginning to
consider the problem of final adjourn
mcnt. After a feeble opposition, the
first of the big appropriation bills was
taken up in committee of the whole.
Senate amendments to the general APP
preparation bill are numerous, but they
make but little difference in the aggre-
gate of the amount carried by the
measure. One notable feature of the
session on the I'd was defeat of the bill
which had for its purpose the wiping
out of existence of the Burlington
volunteer relief department and all
kindred organizations connected with
the management of railroads. Two
bills were introduced at the present
session directly aimed at their exist
ence. One of these bills was intro
duced by Mr.. Beal of Custer and is No.
325 on the files. 1t aimed directly at
the evil sought to be corrected. 1t
was entitled AN act to prevent assess
ment of employees by their employers,
except by the request of said employees,
for purposes of relief and insurance,
and to provide that such voluntary re-
lief and insurance organizations shall
comply with the laws of the state re-
lating to mutual insurance companies"
1t contained the following provision:
1t shall be unlawful for any person, firm or
corporation, transacting business or employ
ing labor in this state to impose any assess
ment upon its employees for purposes of re-
lief or insurance, except by the voluntary
request OF the employees so desiring said re-
lief or insurance, and it shall be unlawful for
the said employers to retain from wages OF
their employees any sum whatsoever, as an
assessment, or contribution, or dues to such
relief fund or insurance. and each case OF
such retention or assessment shall constitute
a separate OfenSe.
And whenever by the voluntary act and
cooperation of such employees an association
for relief or insurance shall be organized and
maintained by dues paid in by those volun-
tarily becoming members of such Organiza-
tiOn, then such organization shall comply
with all the legal requirements imposed by
the laws of the state on all mutual insurance
and no regulation shall be imposed upon the
members thereof by the organization or by
the employers of such members which shall
deprive any member in good standing of all
the benefits or insurance for which he has
paid dues. Nor shall the fact of the creation
such employees in any manner release their
employer from any liability under the laws
of this state for personal injury or death, and
it shall be unlawful for any person, firm, COM
pany or corporation to seek to impose any
contract, regulation or agreement upon their
employees having for its result the release of
such employer from any such liability.

The Old man had six daughters 1--WE wuz

An we wuz six, an all the year we
plowed an hoed his lands),
An every single gal o. them wuz purity
as a peach.
Can bein six an six we said:
"Ihar's one apiece fer eachro
But how could any folks like us, that
walked the cotton row,
An made and marked the melons, an
coaxed the corn ter grow,
Think that he let gal o his come step
pin down so fer,
To hear a poor chap askin' fer the hand
an heart o. her?
An so, we jest said nuthin', but KEEP
a-feelin' blue,
An thinkin'-till it 'peared ter us the

An sometimes, when they'd walk our

They'd smile the sweetest kind o. smiles,
an blush a r3syIcd!
But still we KEEP orr distance, till in the
fields and deis
The Christmas horns WIZ blowin', an
we heard the Christmas bells;
An then the old man says ter US: Come
in! It's Christmas day,
An I've got some purity presents that
I'm going ter give away"
An thar the gals wuz--in a row--a blush

Well, I took sweet Miss Liza, an John

An Jim said he'd take Laura fer this

An so on, till we'd been supplied, then
said: "We're 'bleeged ter you,
But with all yer daughters given away,

An then the old man winked at me, an

How the jolly old deer did go!

Your birds and balloons, your aerial

Nothing can fly like the reindeer keen
AS soon as the cold crisp air they
feel.
All, you should have seen them pranc-
ing by,
Over the country roads below,
Jumping the fences and hedges high,
Swimming across the fields Of snow
Like beam of light from the faithful
sun:
Prancing and dancing like all pos

All through the beautiful world thy've
run,
Out on the mission we love the best.
Mission of peace and cheer, my boys,
Spreading goodwill on earth
That is the maddest and gladdest of

Filling sad hearts with mirth.
That is the mission for us, old chaps,
Work for old Claus and his elves,
Casting good luck into others laps,
With never thought for themselves.
