taken in me, and. truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth moro
to a-woman than I'LL the doctors In the
world. For yearsI had female troubles
and did nothing for them. OF course
l became no better and finally broke
down entirely. Ny troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then Inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation OF ovaries.
"Iunderwent local treatment every
day for some time 4 then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permis-
sion to go back owork. Invent back,
but in less than : week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, I,de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone !; felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles Of Lydia Z.

more good than all the doctors treat

THE RosEnAN CASE.
Further Details OF His Alleged Defalca.
tion-Rowo,s IL ecord Ontslone,

Montezurna, Nov. Ever since the
0. L. Roseman funeral an investigation
has been in progress in the business
transactions of the firms of Roseman &
Cummins, O. l.. Roseman & Son and o.
L. Roseman. The investigation has
gone far enough to establish the fact
that o. L. Roseman died a defaulter
and embeZzler to the extent of $27 ,00G
Or thereabouts. 1t is a great shock to
our people, as nearly every one sup
posed him to be in good circumstances.
But as the search progresses it is found
that he has beaten the, record of the
notorious Chef Rowe. The latter robbed
the county of several thousand, while
Roseman has robbed his best friends
and in some instances it will take the
savings of a lifetime and leave the fam.
lilies homeless. c. d. Roseman was ar.
rested last Saturday MS an accomplicc
of his father and will answer to the
above charges in court. AS Roseman
was in the abstract business and a loan
broker. besides enjoying the utmost
confidence OF a large acquaintance, ii
gave him frequent opportunity. His
abstracts now are worthless, as many
are said to be false and show clear title
to land that was already mortgaged in
order to procure loans.
1t is now known that in the Rosemau
defalc2tion w. H. Butts loses $3.50
money paid Roseman for the purpose
Of paying off "a mortgage. There is
some prospect of this amount being
settled. w. w. Cummings loses from
$4,000 to $4,000, the amount not being
definitely known as yet. A. Mr.. Wy.
more loses $4,000. J. D.. Taylor, of Deer
River, is a. victim for So, 100. 1t is re
ported that Schmidt & Vollmer are out
81 900. Robert Hickey is said to be lose,
by $1,000. The 81, 900 Roseman held as
trustee OF. the Odd Fellows will be
taken to the courts. There is about 49,.
900 due other. parties, but it is
believed they will agree to a settle
ment.
All of these amounts were sums de.
posted with Roseman to pay off mort
cages, etc., in which Roseman was the
agent through whom the loans were OBJ
tanned. The parties trusted to his
honesty and supposed everything was
all right.

view OF the developments, there hay.
been suggestions in some quarters tina,
Roseman may have suicided rathe,
than face the disgrace of exposure
which he probably realized must come
sooner or later. This theory, however.

doubtedly was hoping for turn in af
