OFFERS TO SEND
SMALLPOX subjects"
Fiendish Scheme Of Detroit
Man to Make Capital by
Spreading the Disease.

Napoleon, o., July 14.-One Of tha
most ingenious plots ever conceived
to obtain money was disclosed by for
mer Mayor Ragan, of this city, to
whom the document of the scheme
came in the form of letter from an
individual in Detroit, Mich, signing
himslf Henry Fountain, the small
pox man" Fountain represented him
self as keeping under his care a num-
Der Of persons who had been stricken
with smallpox. He said that he sent
his subjects" arouna TO the various
towns of the state with the intention
of spreading the disease through those
places.
The men enter a town unsupported
and mingled with the citizens until tho
disease masters them. BY that time
the germs are freely sown among
all classes. Fountains idea was to
have the physicians and board Of
health pay a certain commission for
his service, which of course went to
the person who had bargained for
the subjects" from him.
In his letter to Mr. Ragan he asked
$25 apiece for two men whom he
would send down promptly upon the
receipt of favorable answer. In this
way. he said. Mr.. Ragan would clear
a neat little sum. He further said
. that not cent need TO be paid until
: disease had been developed.
He went on to say In his letter
that he dealt entirely in negroes. as
they make the best patients and were
less likely to be suspected. The
strangest part of the letter was that
he gave several references. claiming
that he had sent a number of his
subjects" to both Toledo and Lima.
O.. and that he had good success in
both places. In Toledo he referred
Mr.. Ragan to Drs. Ferguson and
Speeks and to w. T. s. O'Hara. with
all of whom he said he had dealings.
Mr.. O'Harra is prominent attorney
In Toledo.

SAFETY DEVICE
For Protection Of Street Car
Conductors invented BY
Toledo Woman.

Toledo. o.. July 14.-The ingenious
mind of Mrs. Susan e. Pressler. of 22S
Oliver street. has invented a saIety
device for the protection of street
car conductors in replacing trolleys.
Its purpose is to prevent conductors
from falling backward from their cars
while adjusting the trolleys to the
overhead wires.
1t embraces a curved back attached
to the window frame of the vestibule
Included with the curved back bar
are side bars and a seat section, which
are permanent fixtures at each end
Of the car. The seat section is on a
level with the lower frame of the
window The back bar can be adjust
ed In the side bars at either end oi
the car and is SO arranged as to com
pletely protect the conductor, at the
same time leaving his arms free to
work the trolley rope. The patent
has been granted and will be issued
shortly. Mrs. Pressler's invention has
been submitted to several local street
car officials who were greatly impress
ed with its practicability.

VERY MUCH ALIVE
French's Railway Projects Are
Not Dead or Even
SIeepinq.

With reference to the story that
Cleveland capitalists had refused to
furnish any capital for the railway
projects of C. w. French, and that
they were practically dead, the
Youngstown Telegram says:
The railroad project of C. W.
French is by no means dead, accord
ing to J. p Wilson, who is counsel
for the Richland & Mahoning road
Not only has work been commenced
on the Akron belt line, but plarx are
being laid for building the road to
Youngstown.
THE story published that the re.
quest of Mr. French for the under
writing of the bonds In Cleveland had
been pigeonholed Is not true" said
Mr. Wilson to The Telegram. Hall
of the bonds have already been under
written and the Cleveland people were
only asked to take half of them. The
bonds to be issued for .the Akron belt
line railroad amounted to a million
and a half.
"Mr. French has already built three
miles of the Akron belt railuoad and
has seven miles OF right of way. The
Northern Ohio railroad has trackage
rights over the three miles already
constructed. from Akron towards East
Akron. The belt line In Youngstown
will be built and Akron and Youngs-
town connected within the next yea,
or so. If plans as proposed now dc
not fail.
Mr. French is not making the mis-
take of building road without hav'
ing first got the terminals. There have
been four practical routes surveyed
through this city. but the one to bt
followed has not been decided on"

his hearing and his brain appeared to
be as good as evsr. Sheriff johnson
could not bear to see the poor vagrant
turned away so he was given good
supper and comfortable bed for the
night. The next morning efforts were
made to ind out the identity OF the
outcast, but without success. as the
man was unable to write or speak
Sheriff johnson gave orders TO search
him and slip Of paper. bearing the
name Of Mrs. Eva Johnson. Newark, O.,

a stroke of paralysis and was sent to
the hospital. After remaining there a
short time he was removed to the coun-
ty infirmary and then mysteriously dis
appeared and all trace Of him was lost
until he turned up at Mineola. How
he ever reached here cannot be- told.
as he cannot take care of himself and
really needs assistance to walk.
Shortly after his disappearance from
Newark. a cablegram was received
from Germany worded as follows:
Chief Of Police, Newark. o.: Is
Adolph Miller, of Elmshorn. Holstein.
lame and penniless, in your poorhouse?
Moeler. Loclstedter. Holstein. Ger

In few days a letter was received
from the same party saying that Miller
had been left a legacy amounting to
several thousands In trust for his sup
port. In her letter Mrs. johnson goes
on to state that she had befriep pded
Miller when he was ponniless. and Just
before he was taken to the hospital she
gave him her name and address at
his request and this slip was the means
of his being restored to his fortune and
friends.
FAMILY AT ALLIANCE.
After receiving Mrs. Johnsons letter
the sheriff went to the Jail and read il
to Miller. who understood it's import
and burst into tears and fell at the feet
of Sheriff Johnson and kissed his hands
showing in his mute way that he was
overcome with 10Y ut being ablo to re-
turn to his old home. He has a wife
and two children at Alliance. Ohio, who
have mourned-the husband and father

Miller was sent to Jersy City In

placed on train for Newark. Ohio.

MINNESOTA POLITICS

Oar Reese is not going to get reno1nina-
ton without fight, and there is one gentle
man who Is predicting his defeat. He IS
e. A. Pidgeon of Buffalo. Mr.. Pidgeon is an
active candidate, and has made an extensive
tour OF northern Minnesota, of which he re-
ports encouraging results. He will carry the
campaign into southern Minnesota this week.
Mr.. Pidgeon WAS In Minneapolis yesterday,
accompanied by F. B. Lamson and Judge J.
I. Alley of Buffalo. He made the rounds of
Hennepin county politicians, and has strong
hopes of getting the delegation from this coun-
ty. Eight years ago he was a candidate for
the nomination, but withdrew at the last
minute In Difference to the wishes of party
leaders, because so many nominations had
gone to the northern part of the state. At
that time he had practically the solid dele
cation from Hennepin. There Is unquestion-
ably strong sentiment against the third term
for Reese, and Pidgeon Is reaping the benefit
of it. The second district will stand by
Colonel Everett of Fairmont, it is thought.
The Laketield Standard observes: a-@
1t is being taken for granted by the twin
city folks that Oar Reese has a cinch for
a denomination for clerk of the supreme
court. 1t is difficult to understand why this
should be so. He has had two four-year
the right man enters the lists against him, he
will not have the cinch credited to him.
G. B. Franklin, county auditor Of Faribault
county, who has been Doomed for the state
authorship by his home newspapers, declines
to be drawn into the fight. He authorizes
the announcement that he will again be a
candidate for county auditor.
