BaiIif Kelly Finds Note on a
Prisoner That Tells
the Tale.
Judge Conlan Raises the Prisoners
Bonds to $4,000 in View of
the Attempt,

Victor Murray, alias Frank Henry, the
pickpocket, tried on sharp trick yester-
day morning, but through the vigilance
of Bailiff KelIyIof Judge Conlan's court it
failed.
Murray was arrested Sunday morning at
the First Congregational Church for steal
ing a purse from Miss Jane Van Meter, one
of the congregation. There is q sure case
against him, and he has been trying every
way possible to get out on bonds. When
the case was called in Judge Conlan's court
on Mon ay it was continued till Saturday.
His celimate in the prison is William
Russell charged with stealing a small
sum of money from a man at tie Empire
Theater, on Ellis street. The case agains st
Russell is not a strong one, and it was ex-
pected that it would be dismissed by
Judge Conlan yesterday.
BaiIff Kelly noticed something wrong
about Russell yesterday. He was nervous
and c1,ited in court and the bailiff de-
cided upon searching him. He found in
his pocket the card of an attorney and on
the back was written:
Hub saloon, III Grant avenue.
Friend, please tell bartender to send some
one up here with word what they intend
10 do about bonds or something to eat and
drink Tell them Wick sent you. Tell them
to ask for Frank Henry when they come up
here.
The facts were reported to the Judge
and Russell, on being questioned, ad-
mitted hat Murray had gwen him the
note to deliver when he got out of prison
to he Hub saloon.
The Judge said it was evident that
Murray relied upon getting out on bonds
which, like others, would prove worthless
and thereby make his escape. To prevent
the posi- bilitv of such contingency he
would increase mis- bonds to $1,000 and that
would prevent Heating from coming to
his rescue.
Russell was reprimanded for his con-
duct and as a punishment his case was
laid over till to-day.
Bond Inspector Newman and the police
have had more trouble with bonds en-
gineered by Heating than anybody else,
and the Police Judges have been repeat
edly warned not to accept any bonds
coming from that quarter.
About six months ago a butcher in
Strause's market struck another EN- plove
on the head with an ak. He was arrested
Tor assault 10 murder ami got out on
bonds engineered by Heating and Meader
his partner. He disappeared and has lot
since been heard OF. The bonds we're
found TO be worthless.

ROSE NOMENCLATURE.
The Fearful Names of Some Imported
Varfetfee


Some day, too, we may have a nomen-
clature committee, who will meet the
French roses at the portals of our coun-
try and rechristen them with a pro-
nouncable name before presenting
them. for which we all most devoutly
thank them in advance. A rose by any
other name than 'Mademoiselle Suzanne
Marie de Rodocannachi' would smell
just as sweet and we would not miss
our train trying to tell our neighbor
what it is called. 1t is to be hoped that
the young lady changed her name and
that 1T was a shorter one. Provision
should be made in such case for a
like change in the name Of the rose.
The man who called rose 'Grande
Duchesse Heritiere Marie Anne de Lux
embourg" had no consideration for the
poor gardener or florist who would have
to write it on four-inch label with
a stump of pencil. They don't write
it. They simply say the rose is no good;
it is relegated TO obscurity and so they
have their revenge. 1t is pity that the
French raisers cannot see the absurdity
of calling roses such long names and
above all of calling them after every
member of family, resulting in I'M
limited confusion.

A Father Cured Of SCrOtH!a
HIS DAUGHTER OF ST. VITUS' DANCE.
Facts VOuChed for and Sworn to.
From the Tribune. Minneapolis, Mnn.

DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
have brought joy into the home of G. n.
Bensel, of sos Hennepin Avenue, the we'll
known Minneapolis decorator and painter.
For over ten years Mr.. Bensel was afflicted
with scrofula in an aggravated form, causing
running sores TO continually form on the
back of the neck and extend up into the hair.
To-day he is cured and happy-twice happy
we might say; for his daughter, who is now
fourteen years of age, had the terrible ner-
vous affection, known as St. Vitus' dance,
and has also been greatly improved by the
use of these pills.
In relating his experience 10 a Tribune
reporter, he said
II have had the annoyance nearly twelve
years. consisting chiefly of Scrofulous tumors
on the back of my neck and head. / tried
many remedies without receiving the relief
desired. 1t was after persistent efforts of a
friend to induce me 10 use Pink Pills for Pale
People, that / yielded, and the result is that
now | cannot express my thanks fittingly to
that friend for his persistency. k1aosp these
pills are good thing for scrofula. You can
see for yourself the dry marks and red spots
left on my neck, where formerly were erupt-
ions that emitted matter and the vilest
humors of the blood. Now they don't even
itch, and believe ! am practically cured.
want TO tell you too, about the great
benefit my daughter, who is now fourteen
years old, also received from the use of Dr.
Williams Pink Pills. For two years she
had st. Vitus' dance and we did everything
we could hear of to relieve her hut have
never found anything that equals these pills.
She has used four boxes and is nearly cured.

TO SUMMON THE DOCTOR.
Use of HOming Pigeons Is Suggested
for Country Districts.

for Country Districts.
Thanks, perhaps, more than to any
thing else, to the successful use of
homing pigeons by the French govern
ment, both in military and naval man
euvers, there has been a general re-
vival of interest in the subject of the
possibilities of the utilization of these
birds as means of rapid communica-
ton between points that are for vari-
GUS reasons unconnected by the usual
means of communication.
The Medical Record and several of
its contemporaries are urging the great
benefits that medical practitioners in
sparsely settled districts may derive
from carrier-pigeon service. The idea
seems to have been successfully in
augurated by several medical men, who
have written of their experiences.
The plan is for the doctor who is ex-
pecting a call from distant farm or
hamlet beyond telephone or telegraph
service TO carry one or more houning
pigeons to the point, with instructions
to release the feathered messenger
when his services may be required.
The possibilities of the homing pigeon
have never been estimated fully
