ARRESTED IN CHICAGO.
A Man Giving the Name of b. r.. BaE-
nett, Supposed to Have Lived Here.

Information received from Chicago indi-
Gates that a man supposed to be B. r. Bar
nett of this city, was arrested there for
attempting to swindle a bank yesterday.
1t is said he admitted his identity after he
was confronted with letters and linen
marked with the initials "B. r. b. Pre-
viously he had passed as Charles P. Mead,
representing himself to be travelling man
employed by William A Durbin & Son, of
Cincinnati. When admitting his identity he
begged that his story be kept from the
papers as he had friends in Indianapolis
from whom he was DESTROYS Of keeping his
arrest known.
According to press dispatches Barnett
was arrested in the Office of the First Ma
tional Bank Of Chicago. Early in the day
he managed to beat the bank out of $500
and it was while making an effort to repeat
the trick fcY 81 0O0 that he was caught. He
called at the bank yesterday morning and
represented himself as Charles P. Mead,
travelling salesman for the firm of William
A. Durbin & Son, of Cincinnati. He asked
permission to open an account and deposited
draft for 500 drawn by the Lafayette Ma
tional Bank, of Cincinnati, on the Chase
National Bank, of New York. Later in the
morning he checked out $780, which was paid
to him without question. Later in the day
he deposited a draft similar to the first
with the exception that it, called for s.. 800
Then he presented a check for $1,000. His
manner of doing business looked suspicious
to the clerk and asking Barnett to wait he
notified President Nickerson, of the bank,
who called up Cincinnati by telephone and
was told there was firm there by the
name of Durbin & Son. He then called
officers and had the man taken in custody.
It was learned late in the day that he had
attempted similar swindle on the firm of
Goldsmith & Co, dealers in gold leaf.

Several skilled physicians attended her,
bot no benefit was apparent.
A family friend visiting Us, told how
her daughter had been similarly affected,
bot cured by Dr.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People.
She urged Us 10 try the pills, and we
finally consented.
1--WE have always rejoiced that we did.
The pills helped Lucy at once, and
after taking eight boxes she was entirely

The reason that Dr,Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People were helpful in the above
case, is that they are composed of vegeta-
bic remedies which act directly on the
impure blood, the foundation of disease.
AS the blood rushes through all parts
OF the body, the conveyer of good or bad
health, It IS necessary that 1t should be
pure, rich and red.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills build up the
blood by supplying its life giving elements
which nourisheS the various organs, slim
ulating them to activity in the perform

disease from the system.
The pills are IN universal demand and

The dog tax case of the Indianapolis
School Board against Center township was
argued before the Supreme Court yesterday.
The School Board obtained a judgment
against the township in the lower court for
S19 1851 for dog taxes collected In 1898 and
1894 which had been used for the support
of the township schools and which, under
the law of 1891, should have been paid to
the city board as its share of the tax. The
law previous to 1891 denied to city schools
a share in the dog fund and the Supreme
Court did not pass upon the validity of this
law until after the money had been diverted
to the support of the township schools.
