PAT GROVE IDENTIFIED.
One Who Has I-nOwn Him for Many
Years Saw Him Rent the
House.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 31.-John Smith.
n broommaker. employed oy the
Schneiderwind broom factory, has
positively identified Pat Grove as the
man who, in his presence, rented the
Schneiderwind house on Grover street
which was used as a prison for Eddle
Cudahy while he was being detained
for the $4,000 ransom. This is the
first positive personal recognition of
any of the bandits and establishes
the most important point yet devel-
oped in the case.
When asked to identify the picture
of Pat Grove in connection with the
case, Smith said:
You need not show me any picture
/ know that man. 1t was Pat Grove.
1 could rave told any police officer
the same thing had he called upon
me. l was busy at the broom machine
when Pat Grove called to rent the
House and paid no attention to him
during his talk with Mrs. Schneider
wind. Then L thought L recognized
the voice and stopped my machine
long enough to get a good look at
him. I saw at a glance that the man
was none other than Pat Grove, a
man whom ] have known for ten
years. / am positive as to the identi,
ty of Pat Grove as / would be of my
own brother"

WAS NOT ASKED AGAIN.
One Occasion When the Piety OF q
Michigan Politician Was Not
Conspicuous.

NJ. E. C~hittenden, the Michigan politician
who died recently, dearly loved a joke. His
own initials, m: f. c." he always insisted,
stood for Methodist Episcopal church, which
organization, could it have secured him,
would have acquired a very lively member.
Mart" as Mr.. Chittenden was Familiarity
called, relates the Chicago Chronicle, par
TALLY lost his hearing some years ago and
communication with him thereafter was one
of the fine arts. Being the agent OF
the Standard Oil company for a large terri
tory, he travelled considerably, and on a GER
tain occasion fell in with a couple OF friends
at Hillsdale, who invited him to 60 with them
to dinner at the house of a resident ac-
ouaintance. One of them quietly said to the
host: "Mr. Chittenden is an exceedingly
pious man and likes to have the food blessed
before partaking. You ~ invite him to
ask the blessing.
Accordingly, when all were seated, silence
fell upon the company, while the host turned
to Mr.. Chittenden with "Will you ask the
blessing?" -,
Up went Chittenden's hand to his ear, with
his usual, quick, nervous gesture, as IN a
listening attitude he responded In a tone
more decided than u%nctuous:
eve grown so ALFRED deaf lately that II
you've got anything to say to me you'll have
to say it devilish loud"
A roar from the two friends disclosed to
Chittenden and the astonished host that
they had been the victims of apractical joke.
But "Chit" enjoyed it amazingly when he IN
derstood what had happened.

Altoona, Pa, Dec. 31.-James II. Nc
CulIough, former receiver of state and
county taxes for Altoona, has disap-
peared, and is said to be over twenty
thousand dollars short in his accounts.
Mccullough had held the Office of re-
ceiver since 1894, but the county COM
missioners did not reappoint him last
spring because he had not squared
his duplicates for the past several
years. He was under bond in the sum
of $4,000. The county commissioners
had a secret examination made of the
accounts and a shortage of $4,000 was
quickly discovered. County Commits
sioner Hughes went to Mccullough
for an explanation Mccullough con-
fessed he was over twenty thousand
dollars short. He said hat he began
dealing in stock in New York three
years ago, and when his first venture
failed he doubled to retrieve himself.

Folsom, Custer Co., South Dakota,
Dec. 81, 1900 (Special).-Mrs. Fl. D.
Hyde has given for publication a letter
expressing her unbounded gratitude
to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the double
cure of herself and little daughter.
Mrs. Hyde has been troubled with
pains in her heart for over three years,
and for a long time her little girl suf-
fered from weak kidneys. The CRATE
full lady does not seem able to find
words strong enough to express her
gratitude. She has written the follow
ing:
/ cannot say too much in praise of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are the
greatest kidney and heart medicine I
aver used. I had been troubled for over
three years with a severe pain in my
heart, which entirely disappeared after
1 had taken a few doses of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. I also gave them to my little
girl, whose kidneys had been weak,
and she commenced to improve from
the very first dose. Dodd's Kidney
Pills are certainly a wonderful medi-
cine. I would be pleased to have this,
my statement. published, as I feel it
my duty to let others know just what
the Pills will do for them.

Cincinnati, Dec. 3O.-The Enquirer
has received the second strangely sig
nificant letter from "EIoise T." who
now signs herself "Eloise V. farrell"
In this letter the writer says that con-
lectures as to her identity on the part

the correspondents are not at all like

tity. She also gives reasons for her

The last letter is dated December

writer be a woman-gives names and
dates that are convincing on the point
that she knows enough abont the
Cudahy KIDNAPPING to be wanted. Her
letters are lengthy and most Dys-
FERROUS in facts, dates and details.
Efforts to ascertain who the writer
is have proved futile. She keeps we'll
