A CoUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse Make an Import

The Police of Syracuse Make an Import
ant Capture.
On Monday the 18th, Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, n. ", was arrested i'll Syracuse N.
Y, on n warrant sworn out by the DR..
Williams Medicine Co, charging him with
forgery. On the 18th of December Marqui-
see visited n photo-engrnver in Syracuse,
saying he was the representative OF the DR..
Williams Medicine Co, and arranged for
the making of full set of plates for the di-
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 i'll 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 in Syracuse
awaiting examination.
This arrest proves to be an important one.
In addition to various plnnder, such as
medical books, typewriters, rugs, ETC.,
found in Marquisee's trunk when arrested
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and in
search of his apartments at Utica found
a complete outfit for counterfeiting con-
sisting of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead,
bismuth, nntimony, Il small blacksmith
forge, n charcoal furnace, and several
plaster-of-paris molds. The United States
mnrshals want him just as soon as the DR..
Williams Medicine Co. are through with
him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced
for long period.

his counterfeiting operations, he showed
his knowledge of the proprietary medical
business; for these pills are in such great
demand that they are easily sold at any
drug store in the United States. His scheme
was to work the country druggists and sell
his limitations Mt 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 ut a discount from
dealers who were over-stocked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he would
have secured many hundreds of dollars in
short time. The proprietors of DR.. Will
liams' 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.

smok,nr M,,t Without FIRE.

1t may sound absurd to make state
ment about smoking meat without a fire.
for it is well known saying that where
there is smoke there must be fire." The
advance of science, however, has made
this idea obsolete, and today with the use
of Krausers' Liquid Extract of Smoke it is
possible to quickly, economically and sue
cessfully smoke meat without n fire. This
liquid extract is made by distilling the
smoke from hickory wood and is absolute
ly harmless. In fact meat smoked by this
method has a genuine smoke flavor, re-
mains moist and soft, and is not infested
with insects. Every objection of the old
method is overcome, every trouble ended
and the unsightly and dangerous smoke
house is thing of the past. krausers'
Liquid Extract of Smoke long ago passed
the age of experiment, and thousands are
using it today with profit and satisfaction.
By writing E. Krauser & Bro, Milton, Pa,
those who are interested can secure free of
charge instructive printed matter about
methods of curing and smoking all kinds
of meats.
