A ACoUNTERFEITER CAUGHT
The Police of Syracuse Make an
Important Capture.

On Monday the 10Th, Harold Mar
quisee, of Utica. N. Y, was arrested
In Syracuse; N. Y, on a warrant
sworn out by the DIR. Williams Medi.
cine Co., charging him with forgery.
On the 10Th OF December Marquisee
visited a photo-engraver in SYRIA
cuse, saying he was the representa-
tive of the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co and arranged for the making of
a full set of plates for the direction
sheets, labels, etc., of the famous DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
News of this reached the home office,
and no time was lost in arranging
for his arrest when. he should return
for the plates. He returned on the
10Th and was accordingly arrested
and is now in jail in Syracuse await
ing examination, which occurs on
March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an import
ant one. In addition to various plum
der, such as medical books, typewri-
ters, rugs, etc., found in Marauisee's
trunk when arrested, the police also
found counterfeit coin both in the
trunk and on his person; and in a
search Of his apartments at Utica
found complete outfit for counter
feiting consisting of crucibles, bel
lows, nickel, lead, bismuth, anti
mony, a small blacksmith forge, q
charcoal furnace, and several plaster
of-paris molds. The United States
marshals want him just as soon as
DR.. Williams Medicine Co. are
through with him, and, no doubt, he
will be sentenced for long period.

Will Not Hang.

Columbus State Journal: The
board of pardons Thursday recon-
mended the commutation of the
death sectence of Levi Martin Miller,
the Seneca county murderer, to life
Imprisonment. Miller was a farmer
near TifIfn and, having become in
volved in trouble with some of his
neighbors, the marshal attempted
his arrest on peace warrant. Miller
made desperate resistance and shot
the marshal, who died soon after
ward.
The ground of the boards action
was the insanity of the accused, who
appears to be laboring under the
delusion that the whole world is
united in conspiracy against him,
and that it is his duty to defend him
self at any cost. The symptoms Of in
sanity are very pronounced, and it
has been believed for some time that
the board would probably recon-
mend the commutation. Miller is at
times quite boisterous and seems IN
able to- get out OF his mind the fear
that some one is trying to do him an
injury.

Faust.

The Big Grapids (Mich., Pioneer
says:
"The entertainment given at the
opera house last Saturday night was
one of the best seen in Big Rapids
this winter The drama of Faust"
gives a lesson on the moral side of
life. Faust was a prominent charact-
er of national and popular poetry of
Germany. He was dissatisfied with
the shallowness of human kno wledge,
and made compact with the evil
one according to which the devil was
to serve Faust for full twenty-four
wears, and the contract was signed
by Faust in his own blood. He was
to renounce God and all celestial
hosts; he should not obey priests, GO
to church, or partake of the holy
sacraments, etc. The devil in the
place of all these was to grant youth,
wealth and love. Mephisto, the evil
spirit, was acted by Mr.. Porter j.
White, and an excellent villain he
made. Anthony Andre made a good
Faust. Often he was tempted to
break satan's chains and do the right,
but every time Mephisto would ap-
pear and plunge him deeper in vice
than before. Miss Inez McCauley, as
Marguerite, was very fine. Her
beautiful face and sweet. innocent
manner was charming. We predict
a brilliant future for her. Miss Lewis.

MESMERIZED.
Bah Habits Make q Man Act
just Like He was Under q
SDell.

A man will try to convince himself
by arguments so poorly founded that
if they were presented by another
they would be treated with con-
tempt. As an instance: He may be
ailing from the heavy poison of to-
bacco, or the lighter poison of coffee,
the weakened condition will show
somewhere in the body; eyes, head,
stomach, heart, liver, bowels or
somewhere. His doctor tells him to
stop the habit, but each day the
thought comes, 20, coffee and tobac-
CO don't hurt me, its my stomach
that is at fault: I'll have that cured
and everything will be all right so
he keeps on with his habits, and goes
to drugging a poor old stomach that
would do its work beautifully if the
master would furnish enoughvitality
to run it, but he poisons his nervous
system and robs the members OF
strength to carry on their work.
When man wakes up to what he is
doing, exchanging his health and
chance to succeed in this world, for
a paltry habit or two, he quits them
and follows natures wise laws.
tits easy to give up coffee if one
can have Postum, the food drink,
which is fac simile in looks of fine
Mocha coffee. In taste it retains q
like pungency with coffee, but has a
distinct flavor of its own. 1t is made
entirely of pure grains, and has the
ability to make red blood quickly.
Tobacco, morphine, whiskey,
strychnine and coffee each contain
much the same poisonous alkaloids,
but vary in strength. Postum is a
delicious breakfast drink; it is fatten-
ing and nournishing, forit is made of

Mr.. Bryan, in one of his recent
New York lectures said that an argu-
lnent once offered to him In refuta-
tion of bemetalism was that of a
man who had gold and silver money
in house. The house burned and
the coin melted and the man became
a firm advocate of the gold standard
because he found that he could have
his gold coined again, while the sill
yer had lost great part of its value.
Mr.. Bryan said that he supposed if
the man had had gold, silver and
paper money in boat, and the boat
had overturned leaving the paper
floating while the coin sank, the. man
would have become an advocate Of
paper money.
He said that notwithstanding the
overwhelming confidence he had
noticed that when a Michigan bank
had failed, a sign was put up stating
that the bank had been unable to
realize upon its assets.
Hard times had driven down val
ues. The assets had deprecated.

will find that their interests are tied
