Just before leaving Salt Lake City the

Just before the Presidential election.
''Dr." Stoddard, alias Mr. Golden figured
in a new role in Salt Lake City. He
claimed to have a divine revel alton re-

made much money selling what he termed

An Ail-Round Falkir.
The police have learned that he worked
all sort of fake schemes in Utah, and had
it not been for the lucky work of the
Salt Lake visitor in recognizing him as
he pranced along the Avenue on his gaily
caparisoned steed, and reporting him to
headquarters, Golden might have attempted
some OF his swindling here.
He has a strange way ofmaking himself
popular with people and winning their con-
fidences, and it is the belief of some that
he uses powerful hypnotiein influences toac-
complish that result, as his victims, in nearly
every instance, believed Stoddard capa-

Last Monday. while Golden, or Stod-
dard, was under surveillance by the de-
tectiveS here, q telegram was sent to Gov
Wells of Ctah, asking him if he wanted

States attorney declined TO so to the
expense necessary to railroad Stoddard
and his wife to Utah and try them. On
the following day, after the detectives
had been called off the case, the man

Up to the first OF September Doctor
Mccoy gave all the opportunity of plac-
ing themselves under treatment at the
rate OF So month. That all who placed
themselves under treatment We're to be
treated, not for one month, but Just as
long as they needed treatment, at this
rate, Doctor Mccoy endeavored to make
as plain as he could. This was the
essential thing In the offer, the thing about
it that made it a splcn did piece OF benevo-
ience-that the So rate was given not
for a month. but that it was given to all
UNTIL THEY WERE CURED.
Now. as the month following this offer
passes, many of the patients who placed
themselves under treatment during August
ask as special priviieg, that TO which they
are plainly entitled, i. e., that they be
allowed 10 renew their treatment for a
second month at the SO rate. 1t is from
them that Doctor Mccoy learns that the
report that the So rate was given only
for one month was circulated.
Now, Doctor Mccoy is not accus toned to
being misunderstood, at least not upon
essential matters. He has tried to make
the lessons he has sought to teach very
plain. He has taught many lessons I'm
this city, but he finds that he has one
more to teach, and this lesson is that
he means literally what he says in every
announcement. In order to make this les
son plain, he will continue the offer of
the So rate until the LIST OF November
TO all.
All new patients placing them-
selves under treatment. and all old
patients who renew their treatment
before November LIST, will be treated
UNTIL CURED at the rate of SIS u
month. This applies to all diseases.
