A Trio who Profited Largely Through
Alluring Advertisements.

A Trio who Profited Largely Through
Alluring Advertisements.
New York, Feb. u.-Unlted States
Marshal Henkel yesterday afternoon
arrested a man and two women who,
it is said by the postoflice inspectors,
are concerned in an extensive scheme
for obtaining money from the readers
Of alluring advertisements. The arrests
were made on bench warrants issued
on indictments found by the federal
grand jury for the district of Maine.
The persons arrested are William e.
Skinner, manager of the Sawyer Pub
fishing company, at Waterville, Me-,
who has an office in this city; Mrs. vi
ola H. Rae, the proprietor of the Helen
Marke company, superfiuous hair re-
moving concern, also with offices in this
city, and Mrs. A. H. Wing, the mother
of Mrs. Rae. They were held in $4,000
bail.
1t Is charged that they organized the
Fairfield Floral company, of Fairfield,
Me-. with an alleged capital of 100000
advertising extensively to give S25
course of instruction absolutely free
of charge, on sending two postage
stamps. Those who answered the ad-
vertisement found that they were re-
quired to send 81 cents additional, and
to purchase a beginners outfit for
S2.1O and finally that they were re-
quired to purchase so dozen artificial
Bengal rosebuds for the sum of s11O.
All this money, it was explained in the
circular would be returned to the en-
ploye when he had finished his work of
opening the buds and had returned
them to the company, together with
S25 for the work done.
One of the witnesses who appeared
before the Maine grand jury testified
that 265, 900 replies had been received
by the manager, and that the great
majority of those who had replied
were satisfied to lose the original
money deposited by them with the COM
pany rather than risk the large sum
eventually demanded.

Women ShOuId Know It.

Many women suffer untold agony and
misery because the nature of their disease is
not correctly understood They have been
led to believe that womb trouble or female
Of some sort is responsible for the
many ills that beset womankind
Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy
or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a
dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weak
ness or bearing down sensation, profuse or
scany supply of urine with strong odor,
frequent desire to pass it with scalding or
burning sensation, sediment in it after stand
ing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four
hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble.
The above symptoms arc often attributed
by the patient herself or by her physician to
female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so
many fail to obtain relief, because they are
treating, not the disease itself but a reflection
of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble,
In fact, women as well as men are made
miserable with kidney and bladder trouble
and both need the same remedy.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root IS the great dis
covery of the eminent kidney and bladder
specialist, and is easy to getat any drug store
for fifty cents or one dollar.
To prove its wonderful merits you may
have a sample bottle and book telling all
about it, both sent absolutely free by mail
Kindly mention Shenandoah HERALD anc

commenced the use of DR.. Grecne's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. That gave
prompt relief and she improved in health
considerably. Ihave also used this remedy
and have always found it a very excellent
tonic. It is certainly well adapted to my
case, and has done me so much good that
I do not hesitate to recommend it to my

People have the most unbounded faith
in DR.. Greene's Nervura because it is the
prescription of the famous physician DIR.

suited without charge at any time in
regard to any case, either by calling or
writing to him.

Ohio Member Criticizes Exercise of
Clemeucy in Eagan's Case.
Washington, Feb u.-General debate
on the sundry civil appropriation bill
was concluded yesterday. The speakers
during the day touched variety of
topics, but as rule the debate lacked
spirit and interest Mr.. Dockery, of
Missouri, who is at the head of the
minority of the appropriations commit
tee, reinforced Mr.. Cannon's figures of
Thursday as to the deficiency in the
revenues. Mr.. Dearmond, of Missouri,
Mr.. Gillett, of Massachusetts, and
others discussed the policy of eXpan-
sion, and Mr.. Lentz, of Ohio, severely
criticized the administration for ex-
ercislng clemency in the case Of Gem
eral Eagan. The latter charged that
there was an evident disposition to re-
ward those who attacked General
Miles, because the latter had had the
manhood to tell the truth about the
alleged rotten food fed to our troops in
Cuba and Porto Rico. During the
course Of the debate Mr.. Hepburn,
chairman of the interstate and foreign
commerce committee gave notice that
he would offer the Nicaragua canal
bill as an amendment to the sundry
civil bill.
During the entire open session yes
terday the senate had under considera-
tion the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill. Little progress
was made the time largely being oo-
cupied with debate on minor topics.

A Remedy For the Grippe

A remedy recommended for patients af-
Aicted with the Grippe is Kemp's Balsam,
which is especially adapted to diseases Of the
throat and lungs. Do not wait for the first
symptoms of the disease, but get bottle to-
day and keep it on hand for use the moment
it is needed. If neglected the grippe has a
tendency to bring on pneumonia. The Balsam
prevents this by keeping the cough loose All
druggists sell the Balsam.

THE decision of Judge Bechtel de-

Baltimore, Feb. 11.-Frozen water
pipes caused a fatal explosion in the
kitchen of the female department Of
the Home of the Friendless, Druid Hill
