and could not get rid of it. Being subject
to catarrh and bronchial trc" bic coughe6
terribly. lost my spp=-:..c and grew
poor and wcai- and l did not feel like
work. I began taking Hoods Sarsapa-
rilia. In a short time the cough disap-
peared, slept well, had a good appetite
and I was better in every way. Last
spring was not feeling well, I had no ap-
petite and no strength. I resorted to
Hoods sarsaparilla and soon felt more
like work. My little nephew was deli

use Lne gentleman's expression, in
order to get little money aud SUBJ

prices and Offering the Daily Beacon

Just how much money he obtained is
difficult to tell, as he collected from
some, but did not attempt to from
Others. The cards came in due time,
but the Beacon came not. Arthur
Morrison, the tailor, was the first man
to suspect the the thing was fraud,

saturday. Sunday morning the
Wichita chief Of police telephoned to
Marshal Rowan to arrest the man, who
gave his name as A. L. Mitchell, but

An Advertising Fraud Arrested.

j. b. Anderson, representing the
Wichita Beacon, swore out a warrant
before County Attorney Rogers Friday
morning, charging A. L. Mitchell
with swindhng merchants OF Yelling
ton and Caldwell with fake cOmbin-
alton subscription and advertising
scheme. Mitchell was arrested iD
Wichita Wednesday night at the in
StigatiOn of the Beacon and held until
a warrant could be issued for him.
Sheriff HeSkett accompanied Amber
son to Wichita on the Rock Island
freight at noon today, and will bring
Mitchell down from that place TO-
night and lodge him in the county
Jail TO await trial.
Mitchell appeared in Wellington
last week with an ingenious scheme
TOT raising the wind. A number Of
merchants here were taken in for a
dollar or so each, He had a sheet of
cardboard, on one side OF which was a
map OF the gold regions of Alaska,
and on the other side was a map Of
Kansas. On the margins Of the maps
were places for advertisements. For
one dollar he offered to insert adver-
tiSements of firms on The map and
give three months subscription to
the Wichita Beacon. The maps were
to be posted in conspicuous places
about town. Mitchell claimed tEal
tue Wichita Beacon was backing him
in this scheme for the purpose of in.
creaSing their subscription list. He
collected a considerable sum Of money
from the merchants here on ne
strength OF his story, and went next
to Caldwell, where he swindled a
number of merchants out Of hard
earned coin. Tailor Morrison OF
Caldwell, was the first person to sus.
piciOn Mitchell Of being fraud, and
he wrote to the Beacon last Saturday
The Beacon was unconscious Of
Mitchell's representations, and they
set about at once to apprehend him
They JelephOned to different towns
and learned that Mitchell had gone
back to Wichita. He was arrested
Wednesday night.

was given many blood remedies without
relief, and treated by the best doctors.
He seemed to get worse all the while,
however, and the disease finally resulted
in curvature of the spine, making him
utterly helpless.
"The bad sores on his neck increased
in size, and were a source of constant
pain. He was in this pitiful condition
fer two years, when some one recon-
mended S.S.S., stating that it had cured
some OF the worst cases of blood diseases.
As soon as his system was under the ef
feet of the medicine, the sores began to
get better, and in eight days were com.
pletely healed. Before long he could
walk on crutches, and was improving
every day. In three months he threw
aside his crutches, for he had no further
use for them; the dreadful disease had
been eliminated entirely from his sys-
TEN, and he was restored to perfect
health. The cure was permanent one.

Inherited
Blood IaijDt,

Here is a case Of inherited blood faint
which resulted in what threatened to be
a complete wreck of an innocent young
life. The most serious feature of being
afflicted with blood disease is the fact
that innocent posterity must suffer. The
man or woman with the slightest faint
in the blood forces the undesirable leg
acy of impurity upon their children
whose veins flow with the impure inner
itance which handicaps them in the race
of life.
No child who has trace of bad blood
can be healthy or strong, and those pre-
disposed to Scrofula are liable to great
deal of sickness, because their constitu-
tons are weak and cannot withstand the
many dangers which beset the path of
childhood. Medical statistics show that
amajority of lung troubles result directly
from Scrofula, so that a child afflicted
with this disease is likely to fall a vic
tim to dreaded consumption.
Mr.. W. A. Clayton, of Addie, N. c.,
believes SIS. is the only blood remedy
which can have any effect whatever
upon obstinate cases. He says:
"My three-year-old boy had the worst
case of Scrofula l ever heard Of. He
