and flesh of their feshl And who can
depict the hopelessness and detection
that hover about the home where the
wife is incapable of becoming mother?
Barrenness proceeds from some derange-
ment of the distinctly feminine organs.
Many of the common ailments known as
"fenale troubles" cause it. DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription overcomes barren
ness by stamping out diseases of women,
and by healing and curing liberation. 1t
tones up the system, stops drains, and
restores strength. During CESSATION it
modifies morning sickness, gives elastic
ity to the overstrained parts concerned,
makes the hour of baby's coming short
and almost painless, and gives wonderful
recuperative power to the patient. By
making the mother strong and cheerful,
it makes the little one healthy vigorous
and good natured. Insist upon the med
icine dealer giving you DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription when you ask for it.
Substitutes are often dangerous.
Syracuse, NY, writes: Your medicines have:
done wonders for me. For years my health WINS
very poor ; I had four fniscarriages, but since
taking DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Favorite Prescription have much better
health, and now have fine healthy baby"

BY POLICE
The New York Swindler Stood In
With the Force.
MILLER FIXED THEM ALL
One Hundred and Fifty We're Depositors
in His Bank and They Got Their
Money-He Worked Other
Strings.

New York. Dec. 2.-The New York
Herald says: William F. Miller, head
Of the Franklin syndicate and fugitive
from justice, it was learned yesterday,
had at least one other profitable
scheme for gathering in the money of
the credulous.
He was the treasurer of the Paris
Excursion club" This club offered to
its members a round trip, first-class
passage on the best boats of any first
class transatlantic line; and 80 days at
one of the best hotels in Paris during
the exposition for $500.
One condition was that the 800
should he deposited with the clubs
treasurer nine months in advance Cir
cu1ars We're sent broadcast, particular
ly to patrons of the Franklin syndicate.
and many replies were received AL
though promises on their face impOs-
sible of fultilment We're made, 100 mem
bers of the club We're obtained on Long
Island alone. 1t is estimated that many
thousands of dollars came INTO Mil
ler's hands from this scheme.
Brooklyn policemen and detectives
have not in years enjoyed so good
joke as that afforded by the search of
byways and places where Miller is
known not to be.
Are you looking for our friend and
hsnefactor, Miller say the policemen
to the detectives. IF you are, we can
tell you of places where you won't find
him"
Let us know quickly" reply the de-
tectives, land we will go to those
places"
do you think Miller will be caught?"
say the citizens to the roundsmen.
First, tell us, does he want to be
caught?" answer the roundsmen.
Miller continues to be missing and he
farce goes on. There is an impression
that Captain Reynolds of the detective
force unwittingly told the truth on
Saturday night when he said he was
looking for the financier is being kept
up but no one is actually looking for
him.
William T. Miller was a friend of the
police. A police authority in Brooklyn
said last night that the estimate that
$50 policemen were depositors in the
Franklin syndicate was far too low,
and that in some localities a large per-
centage of the force had been on his
books. In some precincts % policemne
out of 40 were in the scheme. Police
captains, sergeants. roundsmen, de-
tectiVes and Wardmen were all interest
ed in the speculation.
Thus Miller had police protection
more profound than that furnished to
any poolroom, gambling establishment
policy den or green goods enterprise
now flourishing in this wide-open city.
Captain Lees of the Vernon avenue
station said yesterday that the police
had made a full investigation of Mill
er's business eight months ago, and
that it was discovered that he was
keeping his bargain with all of his Gus
toners. Why, then, should the police
interfere?

DEFlES HIS ENEMIES.
Maryland Justice Publishes n Card Deny.
He Is u Coward.

Norfolk, Va, Dec. 2.-After killing one
man who desired to lynch him for shoot
ing young Clarence Snyder, Magistrate
Oscar ]. Fleming of Princess Anne coun-
ty to-day issued a defiant note to all his
enemies. He paid for it's insertion in an
evening paper. 1t replies to the state
ment that he drove out Sunday well pro-
tected and that the garrison of his farm
had been reduced by one man. Fleming
regards these statements apparently as
reflections upon his courage. He defieS
his enemies to come to his home and find
out whether or not he is afraid. He says
further: 'Fleming's Notifications are not
guarded by any one man. but by mil
lion, by the majesty of the law and by
the consciousness of right"
The charge against Fleming of threat
ening to shoot into a crowd attracted by
his presence in Norfolk last week was
this morning dismissed by the police JUS
tice. The magistrate says his Gordon of
guards still surrounds his house at night.

errand boys and Junior clerks in brokers'
offices who frequented Badeaus store d.

about SIC, 900 by his transactions and that
the government has lost twice that
amount because of them. Five thousand
revenue stamps, worth from 81 to $50 each

HEALTHY AT MANILA.
Less Sickness Among the Troops Than
at Chickamauga Park.

Chas E. Barnes has received letter
from Miss Theresa Ericsen, of st. Paul,
one of the nurses in the general hospital
at Manila, Philippine Islands This
nurse was at Chickamauga Park when
the troops were stationed there last
summer, and her letter throws much
light on one feature of the situation
She writes under date of April 9th and
says:
81 do not think that you would have
been so sick as you were last summer
had you been here instead of at Chicka
manga Park, for this is much better
climate and the boys don't begin to look
as badly as they did there. This hos
pital has over 1000 patients and nearly
all doing we'll. There is splendid re-
covery here in surgical cases and, in
fact, in everything but bowel trouble
and malaria
Il am enjoying my work-you know
| like being busy-and have so far been
quite well. The days are hot, but not
any worse than in the south. and the
nights are nice and comfortable, and l
am thankful to miss those flies we had
down there"

other matters connected with the gra-
duation exercises were left with the
= school committee and the superin-
tendent The school committee con.
sists Of Messrs. Fletcher and Parry and
Mrs. Smith
Supt Varney presented The list of the
graduating class, with the recommen-
dation that the following twenty mine

One was reported for graduation on
condition that he makes up his grade
in elementary algebra, and two were
reported as not having the necessary
credits to entitle them to graduation.
The list of those recommended for
graduation was adopted, and it was
voted to give the other three a chance
to make up the necessary credits in
case they can do so during the ten
working days that remain. One can
undoubtedly make up his credits, but
the other two will probably be unable
to do so

gagged, although several are under con-

A Bust of 1he Late President Soaring.

Shortly after the death of President
Soaring last October, the faculty of the
Mankato Normal school arranged to
have bronze bust of him made under
the personal supervision of Mr.. Herbert
Adams AS is well known, Mr.. Adams
has done great deal of work for some
of the finest public buildings and pri-
waite residences in New York City, and
for the new Congressional library at
Washington He is without doubt one
of the foremost portrait sculptors in
America, and the fact that he is to di-
rect and criticise the making of this
bust of President Soaring, is, in itself a
sufficient guarantee of its artistic excel.
lence.
The, faculty has been most fortunate
also in securing Miss Isabel Kimball as
the artist who is to do the actual model
ling. Miss Kimball is not only a very
young woman in whose work Mr..
Adams feels great interest and pride,
but she has added advantage of having
seen President Soaring number of
times.
The clay model is now nearing COM
pletion AS several members of the
. faculty have seen it, and photographs
have been sent to Mankato for criticism
from time to time, an excellent like
ness is assured. The work of casting
is to begin very soon and it is hoped
that the bust will be finished by com
mencement week 1t is to be presented
to the Normal school, students and
teachers gladly bearing the cost which
will amount to about five hundred
dollars.
Mr.. F. L. Holtz, who has charge of
the financial part part, says that not
only alumni but undergraduates who
attended the Normal school during
President Searing's life, are sending
contributions. Many of the
former students have not yet
learned that the bust has
been ordered but the promptness with
which those who know about it have
have come forward with offers of help,
testifes strongly to their high regard
for President Soaring.
Everyone who knew President Scar
ing will remember that he was exceed
inly fond of sculpture, and it seems
most fitting that a beautiful portrait
bust should be his own memorial.
