Young Austrian Imposes on Credulity
of GAY New Workers

New York, Sept. 22-Mavro Gruen-
baum, the sleepy-looking young man
from Austria Hungary who lived upon
the fat of the land at the Hoffman
house and other expensive hotels be-
cause he prevailed upon a number of
shrewd gentlemen to believe he was the
only heir to SIS, 900, 900 is, indeed, a pet Of
fortune.
It will be remembered he faded away
from the Hoffman house leaving an un-
paid bill of more than $100 This disap-
pearance followed close upon the heels
of the discovery that his $751; 900 leg
acy was merely an airy product of Nav
res nimble brain.
William Liebermann, accounted
shrewd lawyer in Brooklyn, was re-
GREETING yesterday the loss of 81, 900 he
had spent upon Mavro pending the re-
ceipt of the SIS, 900 900, when he received
a letter from the ex-heir.
With verbose Celebrations it's nine
pages informed Mr. Liebermann that all
the documents connected with the S15,-
900 600 claim were forgeries. But Nav
70 wrote that he did not commit the for
geries, nor did his dear friend, Samuel
Schwartz.
Il beg of you" he wrote, please in
form that young lady in Newark whom
I esteem so much that am a scoundrel
and am an unworthy man and that she
should forget me-"
The young woman referred to is the
sister of a Newark lawyer. Mavro
had told her of his legacy of S15, ,000 900.
and she promised to marry him. Her
brother loaned him several hundred dol

WOMEN IN A PRIZE FIGHT.
Man, For Whose Love They Battle,
scorns Both Fair Ones.

Greenwich, Conn. Sept pa prize
fight, in which Annie Rooll and Irene
Smith were the principals and Jacob
RendeH was the prize, took place at
Wellstood's Point, near E. c. Bene-
diets residence, last Wednesday night
and the facts of the case have just
leaked out.
The two girls were much in love with
Jacob and, as he had expressed no pref
erence, they concluded to decide the
matter for him. They chose a referee
and dark Wednesday evening repaired
to the point. Throwing off their jack
cts and rolling up their sleeves they
commenced to pOmmel each other and
kept it up for nine minutes, during
which time neither uttered word. Then
time was called, as both were winded
Miss Smith had discOlored eye and
Miss Rooll's face was bruised. She had.
in addition, cut lip and a scratch on
her nose. The referee decided the one
more injured was whipped, and Miss
Smith entered no objection.
The girls have since been nursing
their wounds. Their appearance with
black eyes gave the secret away and
they were obliged to tell the cause
Since the truth became known Jacob
has refused to recognize either one

Washington, Sept. 22.-PPaymaste Cen

of a Texas regiment to receive pay from
Major Lynch, because he is colOred. The

LABOR DAY SPEECH.
The Mayor of Galveston Utters Some
Caustic Criticisms.

Galveston, Tex September 22-Judge
W. c. Robson, Democratic candidate for
congress from this district, in an address
on Labor day, referred to the recent Nal
lory line riot in which two men were
killed and from ten to fifteen wounded by
Mayor Fly and the police. In a criticism
of the action of the authorities Robson
said: God hates a coward, and SO does
man." The city council last night by
vote. of 6 to 4 adopted. a resolution APP
proving the conduct of the mayor and
the police. After the vote had been an
nounced Mayor Fly addressed the council:
Il agree with Judge Robson in the
main said the mayor, ''and say that he
is the embodiment of that expression. If
there ever was a coward on God AL
mighty's earth it is a man who will come
to town to make a Labor day speech and
who makes a political speech for the pur-
pose of melting trouble among a misguid-
ed and ignorant class of people,
The mayor then referred to Robson as
being devoid of personal and moral cour-
age. The mayor closed by announcing
that if Judge Robson or any of his friends
thought he, Fly. was coward, he stood
ready to answer anywhere on American
soil.
Robson is in the country campaigning.
There is likely to be trouble when the men
meet.

loss of energy which leads finally to con-
sumption is not always very rapid, but If
it isn't stopped It will presently begin to

keep DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry in the house, and use It whenever feel
ing 90 out of sorts" It keeps the entire
body in such high condition of health
and forcefu1ness that wasting diseases have
no chance to get a fOOt-hOld. A teaspoon
full or two before meals in little water,
gives the digestive organism power to as
simulate the blood-making, nerve-toning,
strength building properties of the food.
It enables the liver and excretory system
to clear the circulation of bilious pOisons
and remove all waste matter from the body.
It replaces worn out tissue with hard mus
cular flesh, and changes weakness and
debility into active power and nerve force.
The originator of this great g Discovery
r. Y. Pierce, NJ D., is chief consulting
physician to the great Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. Y, at the
head of a staff of nearly a score of eminent
associate physicians and surgeons. He has
acquired, in his over thirty years of active
practice, a reputation second to no living
physician in the treatment of obstinate,
chronic diseases. His prescriptions must
not be confounded with the numerous

ACRITICAL Time
During the Battle
of Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle of San
tiago de Cuba Were All Heroes.
Their Heroic Efforts IN Getting
Ammunition and Rations to the
Front Saved the Day.

P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23 says: I'VE all had diarrhoea in
more or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep our
health; in fact, sincerely believe that
at one critical time this medicine was
the indirect saviour of our army, for
if the packers had been unable to work
there would have been no way OF get
ting supplies to the front. There were
no roads that a wagon train could use.
My comrade and myself had the good
fortune to lay in a supply Of this medi-
cine for our pack-train before we left
Tampa, and I know in four cases is abb
solutely saved life.
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the
Chamberlain Medicine Co, Des Moines,
Iowa. For sale by all druggists.

From Polk County

Sheriff j. G.. Van Orsdel, OF Polk
county, was at Salem today to look
after some public business connected
with his Office.
He has orders to buy new set Of
shackles, as the old ones were de-
stroyed In the fire.
The tax lists will not be completed
before the first Of August.
The old vault is being moved off the
court house square to the new Office
fitted up for the clerk and sheriff.
The county court has asked for plans
and specifications for a new court
house TO be built of brick and stone,
to cost not over $4,000. VIM. Brown,
the pioneer merchant, has donated
the stone, and the city Of Dallas the
brick.
IL will take 10000 brick, ami IL
everything is done this fall it will
be only to put up the foundation
walls and let them stand over winter.
The present jail is not safe nor
healthy, but there are no prisoners at
present. There was one Indian in
the jail and he was released on the
Fourth Of July.
The taxpayers are asking the court
to build new court house. 1t is ex-
pected that Independence will offer
some resistance by sueing out injunc-
tions, but the court is conservative
and will not act without good counsel.
