Kindness to a Stranger.

Many of the readers Of The Odsey-
Ger will remember Prof. G. A. Mezger,
who lived for many years in Charlotte
and vicinity, and who recently died at
Freiberg, Saxony. Prof. Merger was
metallurgist and mining expert, and
was a very highly educated man For
some time Prof Mezger lived in
Shelby, and while there became very
much attached to George A. Frick,
one of the leading lawyers Of that
town, who last year moved to Norfolk,
Va, for the practice Of his profession.
Mr.. Frick and his family were exceed
ingly kind to the old gentleman, and
he remembered their kindness in a
very substantial way, as the sequel
will show. After leaving Shelby. he
came to Charlotte and resided awhile,
and then went off on tour for his
health. He had taken out naturaliza-
tion papers and had been resident of
this State and he expected to return
to America when his health improved.
His last residence in America was in
Charlotte.
In January last Prof. Mezger wrote
Mr.. Frick letter from Freiberg, Sax
ony, in which he stated that he willed
to him and his sister all Of his proper
ty and he directed Mr.. Frick take
charge Of it at his death. At the
same time he sent $4,000 to some
bankers in New York, with instruc-
tions to turn it over to Mr.. Frick at
his death. The letter written to Mr..
Frick has been admitted to probate
before Clerk Russell, as containing
the last will and testament of Prof.
Mezger and letters testamentary were
yesterday issued to Mr. Frick. It is
understood that the estate is valued
at about 50, 900.
Mr. Frick's many friends through
out the State will rejoice that his
kindness to strangerin strange land
resulted in this substantial token Of
appreciation. n.-CAarzottc OLseyrer.

The Way they Sell Woo. at Mandan.

Pioneer: Last week the Pioneer called
attention to the fact that the wool grow
ers don't like to pay a rake-off to anyone
on their wool; they believe that when
they bring their product to market, they
should get the full price if they sell to an
eastern buyer without the intervention of
a middleman. MIR. A. Lanterman thinks
the Pioneer is referring to him as the re-
cipitent of the rake-off, and he admits
that he gets a commission on all wool
sold in Mandan, whether he handles ii
or not.
When the Mandan people and wool
growers tributary to Mandan get ur
enough enterprise to EN- ancipate them
selves from the rake-of that Mr.. Lanter.

they will be several hundreds Of dollar:

500 Reward 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least n
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh, being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any cas- that it fails
to cure. Send for list of Testimonials.

Over a Million Pounds Of Wool.

MIR. Jackman, Nichols, Dupee 4 Co.'S
man, left Wednesday for Chinook, hav-
ing weighed up the balance of the Dick
inson wool with the exception of % sacks
of the Pearl clip which will be weighed
by MIR. Dickinson. Mr.. Jackman said
that the amount of wool purchased here
by his house this year would foot up very
close to 10000 pounds and the amount
purchased by the St. Louis house was
something like 100000, making the woods
marketed at Dickinson over one million
pounds-nearly 100000 pounds. MIR
Dupee left last week for Billings, where
his firm is also buying heavily.

A American RaiIroau in Chine.

Moneyed men from the United States
have secured a franchise tor building a
railroad from Hong Kong to Han Kow,
China, a distance of nearly 700 miles.
While railroads are necessary to a nations
prosperity, health is still more necessary.
A sick man can't make money if there
are a thousand railroads. One of the
reasons why America is so progressive is
the fact that in every drug store is sold
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, that cele-
brated tonic for the weak, appetizer for

NOTHING IN Il.
DR.. r. B. South Tells us About
His Arrest.

Prosecution Prompted BY spite He
Had Not Been Praeficing after he
found Ont about the Law-Simple
Operation Performed the Basis of the
Move Against Him.
DIR. r. b. South is IN town and
has been seen by representative Of
this paper in regard to report sent
out from Amity to the newspapers
in which he was represented as be-
ing in violent opposition to the state
medical board Of his state and be-
ing into difficulty in consequence
of his attitude.
He is well known in Morgantown
and has had the very best kind of
standing in the town and the Univer-
sity and of course the article in ques-
ton was known to be highly colored
and exaggerated. 1t is now known
that it was prompted by the same
spirit that lead to the arrest OF Dr.
South and that is spite work on the
part of a physician who is in SGuih's
debt and who is trying to evade the
payment of the debt.
After graduation from College DR..
South went in with physician near
his old home and practiced for some
time under his direction. A ter
wards he learned that he had Deen
violating state law in not baving
q license to practice in the state and
he quit. This was two years ago
and the limitations Of the statute
have now cut the offense out
The man for whom he had been
practicing has refused to pay the larg
er part of the amount owed and there
has been bad blood between the two
men. Recently DIR. South was asked
by another practitioner to go along
and see avery strange case. The case
was one of sick child. This was
very interesting to him from a pro-
fessional standpoint because he had
made a speciality Of diseases of chill
dreD and he went along. Reaching
the place he saw at once what was the
matter in very simple manner with
out instruments or medicine effected
a cure OF the affection.
1t is for this operation that he is
arrested. This involves fine legal
point and will not result at all serl-
ously. The physician did not do it
for gain, he went along merely as a
spectator and he administered no
medicine. 1t is very far stretch to
call it practicing medicine and Il will

CHANGE ARIvER.
Proposed Change Of the Face ofNatnre
Near Weston started Once
Before.

The great Industrial prospects Of
the West Fork valley have revived the
ante-bellum scheme OF changing the
course OF the BnckEannon river AZ
Buckhannon by leading IL four miles
up Finks run, aBd turning il down
Stonecoal creek into the West Fork 81
Weston. This would make the Wes5
Fork navigable to Weston. An engi-
neer named Jackson conceived this
project but the great civil war shat
tered his plans. The engineers say
that the fail in Flnks run FROM Lor-
|entz 10 BuckDannon is only twelve
feet. and as the soil is purely alluvial
the undertaking could be easily ac-
cumplished. As Stonecoal creek or
the average is four hundred feet lower
than the Buckhannon river. the Uni
ted States biologists in their portfolio
say that in the course of ages it wilt
eat back TO Buckhannon, capture the
waters of the river at that place ano
lead IL into the West Fork. In fact
they say that the first eight miles OF
Stonecoal once ian into the Buckhan-
non river but because of the more.
rapid erosion of Stonecoal creek, its
waters were finally captured
