to learn of single case having resulted

guarantee as to the genuineness of the
medicine and it's healing power.
Below is an extract from Racine
Daily Times of Oct. 18th, which speaks
for itself, and is only one of the many
opinions of the public and the press:
FINE WINDOW DISPLAY BY DRUGGIST
THIESEN.
Pa1ica's Mystic Oil is coming to the
fore, and it apparently "gets there"
exclusively on it's own merits. The
Robinson drug store on State street
has a beautiful window display of
Pa1ica's Mystic but never failing oil,
which is proof positive of it's merits,
as reputable and leading drug house
| like the ERobinson never pushes a
remedy until it's worth is established.
Another proof its good qualities lies in
the fact that it has been tried by
thousands in it's home town and has
stood the test every time, and this is
something unusual for proprietary
medicine which, as a rule, is seldom
appreciated in the town where it is
manufactured. DIV

"THE GREAT RUBY. )"
This Grand Production Now Being Played
at Mcv1cker's to Crowded Houses.


McVicker's theatre in Chicago is all
too small to hold the enormous crowds
that are fOCking to see Jacob Lift
great production, ''The Great Ruby"
This wonderful play was produced
originally at the Drury Lane theatre
in London, where it scored an enorm-
GUS hit. 1t was brought to America
and presented by Augustin Daily at
Da1y's theatre last season with all the
original London scenery, properties,
furnitures and mechanical effects. For
twenty-five weeks it crowded Days
theatre at So seat, and now Mr.. Lift
brings the same production intact from
Da1y's theatre and offers it to Nc
ViCker's theatre patrons at 81. It is
the biggest show ever seen in Chicago
and has scored a most terrific hit. It
tells the story of the of the theft of a
priceless ruby and the various events
which befe11 the holders of this gem.
It is lost in chocolate box, picked up
in an aeronaut's bag and finally stolen
again from his tent. The thieves seek
safety in his balloon when apprehend-
ed and jumping into the car of the air
ship they cut loose. In midair they
battle for it's possession, most ter
rifle battle which results in one of them
being thrown from the balloon, which
has by that time SCARED far up into the
clouds. The effect is said to be mar
ve1Ous1y realistic and the most thrill
ing scene ever staged in Chicago.
The play is said to be even bigger
than ''Sporting Life" which had such
phenomenal run at that theatre last
spring. The management of Nc
Vicker's offers to assist patrons organ
izing to go to Chicago to see 1.-The
Great Ruby" in securing special
reduced railroad rates. "The Great
Ruby" has already smashed all the
records by big business at their theatre.

A PECULIAR STORY.
Mort Truesdell Claims That He conspired
to Rob J. H. Shelby Saturday Evening

10 kSoD d n 0ne1DV SATURDAY evening.
One of the most peculiar cases ever
brought to the notice of the police of
the city was discovered Thursday
evening, when an effort was made. to
have Mort Truesde11 and another citi-
zen of the city arrested on a charge of
forming a conspiracy to rob Jack
Shelby, the Main street saloon keeper,
on last Saturday evening. Both of the
men implicated in the affair were
taken to the police office and held for
an examination by the Chief of Police
and the District Attorney, and at the
close of the examination it was found
that there was no charge on which the
men could be held.
According to the story which Trues-
dell is alleged to have told to the Chief
of Police, George Barber and ]. H.
Shelby, neat crime had been planned
for last Saturday night in the way of
holding up the saloon keeper on his
way home from the city. According
to this story Truesde11 and man we'll
known to the police had made ali the
dII dig CHCnlS, Out 4IuSSue1 suddenly
weakened and going to the police and
to the saloon keeper he made full
confession of his part in the crime
which had been planned, and also saw
that the other man was equally imp1i-
Gated. On his statements to the differ
ent people the other man was at once
secured and taken to the police office
and an effort was made to find the
facts in the case. There was positively
no evidence against the man and he
was at once released. Truesde11 said
that he had never made the statements
alleged to have been made by him.
Truesdel1's motive in the case can
not be seen by the police, but he will
be closely watched.

GET A LARGE ESTIMATE.
Engineer Wilson Recommends the Expend-
iture of S149, 900 More on the Harbor.

The report of Gen. John NJ. Wilson,
chief of engineers of the War depart
ment, was made public today. 1t covers
work on river and harbor improve
ments, and also treats of the fortifca-
tons of the United States. Gen.
Wilson gives summary of the work
accomplished on the great lakes dur, az
the past year, the details of which
were given when the reports of the
local engineers were fled.
The features of Gen. Wilson's report
are the estimates for the coming year,
the aggregate being 1869, 316, which
includes s., 362, 671 for the Mississippi
River commission. The estimates for
f rtifcations and other equipments are
$5,382,0O The estimates for improve
ments on the lakes and rivers of
affairs are as follows:
Milwaukee harb T .....................S 81 600
Milwaukee harbor of refuge. 224,0OO
South Milwaukee harbor.. ............ $4,000
Racine barbor 1850
Kenosha harbor. ........ ........ 14925O
Waukegarl Observation-Disclosures. $500
The report will be especially inter
esting to the people of Kenosha, as it
will be seen that if the estimates of
the engineer are adopted, and it is very
probable that they will be, the city of
Kenosha will have all the needed funds
for the completion of the harbor by the
next summer or as soon as it will be
possible to have the work completed.
The estimate as given by Gen. Wilson
is some IS, 900 lower than any other
estimate ever made for the work in
this city, and with the $4,000 already
paid by the government it will give the
city total of $4,000 The amounts
at Racine and other points along the
lakes have not been increased but have
generally remained the same as the
figures given by Engineer Warren.
