We, tho undersigned practicing
physicians of the village of Worth
ington have decided that after May
1st, 1900, we will charge One Dollar
and a Half for visits in town and One
Dollar for Office consultations. We
do this because of the increased size
and prosperity of Worthington, the
higher prices being charged for
everything; because a physician is
under more expense and must be
more thoroughly prepared than
formerly and for the reason that the
above mentioned prices are being
charged in other towns the size of
Worthington throughout Minnesota
and Iowa.

A MYSTERY
Reported Sale of the Plant Seems to
be Backed Up With a Good
Deal of Authority.
THE TRUST IS MOVING OUT TODAY
It is Reported That the Deal Has Been
Made, But the Names of the Purchas-
ers are Not for The Public.

Who has purchased the Sterling fac
tory? This is the question that is be-
ing asked everywhere today, but no
one seems to be able to give salts
factory answer. Men who have been
connected with the plant for a long
time state that the plant is sold.
County officials have been notified
that papers will be filed in a few days
and the trust is taking out their stock,
but the name of the purchaser has not
been made public. 1t is stated that
the plant has been sold to Fred JEFF
fries & Son, of Chicago, but the men
who have been closely connected with
the plant and who have large amounts
of stock in it, state that there is no
truth to the rumor. Mr.. Jefries was
in the city on Friday last to look over
the plant, but since that time he has
denied that he was a prospective pur-
chaser.
Another story is that the Hosiery
Works have an option on the plant,
which will expire this week, but this
also seems to be hot air story. One
of the officials of the Hosiery Works
was asked few days ago in regard to
the purchase of the plant, and he said
that the Hosiery company would pur-
bhase the plant if it could be bought at
a low figure.
In the meantime to give color to the
story that the plant has changed
hands, the officials of the trust are
having all the stock moved out of the
plant today. The wheels on hand, as
we'll as the parts and the steel ready to
be made into bicycles, are being boxed
up and sent to the Western Wheel
Works in Chicago. It was reported
that the men connected with the pro-
posed Brass Mills were looking at the
plant as factory site, but one of the
men said this morning that they had
no desire to purchase the plant, as it
would not answer their purpose. The
men who are in a position to know
still declare that the story of the sale
is a myth, but it comes from such
sources that it seems almost impossible
for this to be the facts in the case.
Another report, and the one which
seems to be given the greatest Gre
dence, is that the sale of the plant has
been made, but that it is provisional
sale. This story is vouched for by a
we'll known factory man who is on the
inside. According to the story of this
man the plant has been Professionally
sold to Chicago men who are planning
to organize a company to operate it.
The papers will be passed as soon as
the company is formed, but according
TO the same authority the company has
not as yet come "within seventeen
miles of organizing" and the deal will
probably fall through.

LOCAL NOTES

SpasmodiC reform may not be
grand and lasting good, but any old
reform would be some help in Ke-
nosha.
e George Clark, railway engineer
formerly we'll known in this city, was
killed in a wreck in Nebraska last
Friday.
An orchestra under the direction of
Prof. Graf gave a splendid concert at
Columbia hall Tuesday evening. A
good crowd was present.
1t is reported that the marriage of
Miss Laura Drake, daughter of w. H.
Drake, and George Naylor, the we'll
known Main street barber, will take
place early in the new year.
The Southports and the High school
football teams will meet on the grid
| iron at the Country Club grounds to-
morrow afternoon. The game will de-
eide the champ onship of the city.
There are none so blind as those
who will not see. 1t would be easier
for camel to go through the eye of a
needle than for a Kenosha policeman
to discover a saloon open after mid
night.
The application of the Northwestern
railway company to condemn lanes in
Randall for railway purposes will
come up in the Circuit court Friday.
The parties on both sides of the action
promise hard fight.
The business of the crap game has
not in any way diminished in Keno
sha on account of the coming of the
winter season, but the condition of the
depleted coal bin and the lack of
bread and butter is noted on account
of the rule of "KiLg Craps"
The disposal of garbage is getting
to be very serious question in Keno
sha. The Council has taken the mat
ter up several times, but temporary
dumping grounds is as far as the dis
cussion ever reached. Kenosha has
grown to be so much of a city that her
public-hea1th demands proper disposal
of garbage.

Is more common than we may think, II
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
bodv's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many person who would resent
the term as an insult. The fact OF this
g1uttony is marked by its consequences.
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the cond1-
ton is 0weak " stomach. The "weak
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body and soon the "weak-
ness spreads from the stomach to other
organs.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. 1t
enables the perfect assimilation of food,
by which alone the health and strength
of the body is maintained.
uYour medicine helped me so much that I
cannot praise it too highly" writes Mrs. G L.
Brooks. of Poland, Androscoggin Co., Me. "The
first dose 1 took helped me. cannot forget
how I felt when took it was suffering every
thing with indigestion, and my stomach was so
bloated that it seemed as though 1t must burst

but I said if he would get me Il bottle OF the
Golden Medical Discovery would try tnat

have not had touch of indigestion or stomach
trouble since had been sick for four years,
and less than four bottles cured me. Some
people that knew me before began TO take the
Golden Medical Discovery tell me that they
never saw such a change in any one, and they
also saw they don't see how 1 can do such large
washitips as I do now when had not done
washing for so long"

Frank j. Rosche, Who Escaped From
WauWatOsa Asylum Two Months
Ago, is Arrested Here.
A STRANGE STORY OF HIS LIFE
A Lunattc Arrested by Chief of Police
Hare and ofdcer Newhouse Seems
s0 to be a Queer Parsonage.

Frank J. Rosche, an alleged lunatic
who escaped from the asylum at Wau-
watosa on Sept. u, and for whom a
search of the state had been made,
was arrested in the Garfield House in
this city this morning by Chief of Po-
lice O'Hare and Desk Sergeant New
house. The capture of Rosche will be
a big feather in the caps of the local
police, as he is one of the shrewdest
men that ever escaped from a state in
stitution. When he was arrested he
was in his room delivering an Grafton
to interested spectators on the value of
a little = box of coal which he had
boarded together for the purpose of
sending it to . his family for Christ
mas gift. His moralizings was cut
short blythe arriva1'of the police, who
placed himsun arrest
When he was arrested he told the
police that he had escaped from the
asylum and appeared to talk of the
matter in perfectly rational manner.
He claims to have been wealthy man
in Milwaukee and claims that he was
sent to the asylum in order to allow
some one to beat him out of $4,000.
He seems to have found little trouble
in e1uding the officers who have been
on his trail. From what he said today
it seems that after his escape he went
directly to Racine and lived for several
weeks.
While in. Racine he claimed that he
took civil service examination under
the name of J. J. Prisen and passed
the highest in his class. He is an ap-
p1icant for position in the Racine
post office and claims that Mayor
Higgins, of that city, had promised to
help him in securing the position.
Rosche came to this city some time
ago and assumed the name of Prisen.
When the telephone company began
the work of repairing their lines in
Kenosha he offered himself as a COM
mon day1aborer and was accepted and
he has worked steadily ever since.
When his affects were examined a
letter from Judge Ludwig was found
among them. The letter had been
written after his escape from the
asylum and in it the Judge had
promised to assist him 20 secure a
position for which he had applied. The
Judge stated that he had heard from
Mayor Higgins of Racine and that
every thing possible would be done
for him.
He was placed in Jail to await the
orders of the officials of the ASYLUM
and he will probably be taken back to
his former place of incarceration to-
morrow.
