FREE CURE Fur MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims TO be BenefactOr To
Weakened Mankind.

There is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes man so
overflows with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
n resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
| scription which will cure them of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
| them of all the doubt and uncertain
| ty which such men are peculiarly liza
bic to and restores the organs to nat
| ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack
| men who never stopped to realize
what might be the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them 70 health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing TO men the strength they need, it
would seem that ali men suffering
with any form of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to II. q. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that yOu
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use of the medicine by giving
it a trial, will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford to give away his dis
covery, there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him.

NEIGHBORHOoD TALK
Relation Occupied by R. II. Gray to
the Machold Story

That Miss Ernestine Machold, who
failed of election to her former posi-
tion as teacher at the Custer-stre
school, was given to understand that her
election depended upon her willingness
to pay for the place is certain. but just
who made that proposition to her is
not known. Saturday afternoon the
lady stated that her first intimation that
payment for her position would he ne
cessary had been received from II. H.
Gray. In the publication Of that state
ment by her the inference might have
been drawn that Mr.. Gray was acting
as go-between for some member Of the
board of education or some other per-
son. That was not the intention.
Mr.. Gray says that he at first treated
the matter as a joke. but he found that
other people were taking it seriously.
Whatever remarks he may have made to
Miss Machold in regard to the payment
Of money being necessary in order for
her to hold her position were simply
statements of his own personal opinion
or Of common report. He was not COM
missioned or authorized by any one to
guarantee positions to teachers on any
terms whatever and that he is not in that
kind Of business.

TRADING STAMP COMPANY
Fails to Receive General Endorsement
From Local Merchants

Things are not always what they
seem, and an agreement which is be-
ing circulated among the merchants
with request for their several auto
graphs, is one OF them. The agreement
appears harmless, and is even alluring
to the casual observer, but there seems
to be more in the scheme than at first
appears and which invites investigation.
A firm, presumably of New York, and
calling itself Trading Stamp COM
pany," proposes to print and deliver
$4,000 copies of a directory of signatures;
to advertise in the papers d list of all
merchants who will sign certain printed
agreements which are now in process
of distribution, and to furnish such mer-
chants sign cards printed with this Sc
ductive legend: 1--WE Give Trading
Stamps"
The local merchant, having appended
his signature to the contract in ques-
ton, will receive from the company"
book of coupons, ten of which he will
give to every customer who purchases
one dollars worth of his goods. Each
week a representative of the company
will go to the merchants books, look
them over and collect Sc for every $10D
taken in.
pany" is coming in here with $4,000 or
100000 worth of general merchandise;
that is, that it will open sort of depart
ment store,an that holders of coupons,
presented by the local merchants to their
customers, may in turn so to the ''corn-
pany" and exchange their tickets for
whatever they want.
To make a long story short, the bust
ness proposition seems to be that the
local merchants are invited to pay 6 per
cent of their gross sales each week for
seeing their names occupy q line in a
newspaper, and again in q directory
made up of their names and those of
others who have thus encouraged an
eastern company to start up business
here in direct competition with them
selves.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
association has taken the matter up, and
in very short time yesterday secured
a large number of signatures from ner-
chants, who decided promptly to re-
frain from setting the involved set Of
wheels in motion by contributing their
autographs.
A representative Of the company ap-
peared before the board at it's meeting
last night and explained the scheme in
all it's details. He was given patient
hearing, after which the following reso-
luton was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, by the board of directors
F. -
association of Los Angeles, That the
so-called trading stamp scheme that is
now sought to be introduced in this city
is hereby denounced as an improper and
illegitimate business method, and detri-
mental to the best interests of the bust
ness community; and that the mer-
chants of this city are hereby urged not
to entertain the proposition"

BEGAN WHILE YOUNG
Youth of Twenty-one Charged With
Train Robbery

Twenty-one is rather an early age al
which to begin train robbery, but that is
what the United States grand jury for the
eastern district of Texas thought that
Noah Lee did four years ago. and as a re.
suit indicted him two years later for this
crime. The young man has been at large
since the alleged job but was arrested
last Saturday morning while at work at
the Cactus mine, in San Bernardino coun-
ty, and about fifty miles from Walters
station, OH the Southern Pacific railroad.
The arrest was made by Deputy United
States Marshal w. j. Oaks, Secret Ser
vice Agent e. +. Pourade and Constable
I. j. West, the latter of San Bernardino.
Lee was brought to this city, and will be
taken east by Mr.. Oaks.
About twoN months ago United States
Marshal Williams OF Paris, Texas arrived
here i'll search of Lee. The officer had the
indictment found against Lee, Ben Self
and Camp Paign, charging the trio with
having in the carly port of 1893, tried to
hold up a train in Atoki.-ounty, Choctaw
nation. Indian territory. They had also,
1t was alleged, fired into the body of VIM.
r. Danforth. At that time it was said
Lee was but II years of age. He soon left
the territory after the crime, and as his
mother had taken up her residence at
Redlands junction, in this state, and his
brothers had mining interests in San Ber-
nardino county, the officers succeeded in
locating the young man. Marshal Williams
teiephoned to the sheriff of San Bernar-
dino county, requesting hi INTO arrest Lee
and hold him until he arrived. This was
done. the prisoner not being locked up, but
given into the custody of Sheriff Coving-
ton. While the officer went into barber
shop Lee skipped and when Williams
learned of the escape of the man he picked
up his traps in disgust and went back
home. Deputy Marshal Oaks and Agent
Pourade determined to catch Lee. though,
and since the escape they have been work.
ing industriousy trying to locate him.
They succeeded in doing so, and made the
| arrest in creditabe style. Lee is confident
| of acquittal. Lees alleged pals had been
