CHICAGO is having hard time of it with her

Following in the footsteps of the Atlantic coast
Cities short time ago Chicago established free
municipal lodging house where all applicants are
provided with bed, supper and breakfast free of

take advantage of the charity shall give the author-
ties records of their past lives and shall submit to

stipulation would frghten away undeserving parties
The records s-what great mind it was that con-

posal of the police force The plan has not proved
a success. The deserving poor shun the lodging

the day to invent and memorize records" to be
retailed in the evening.
1t is proposed to make those who eat and

STORIES Do NOT TALLY
Chicago Real Estate Dealer Brought
to MankatO to Answer For
gerry Charge.

Mankato, MIMI, Jan. 22.-Deputy Sher-
if Atchison has returned from Chica go,
having in custody John r. Moore, a real
estate dealer of that city and Minot, N.
D., to answer to the charge of forgery,
made by President w. G. Hoerr of the
National Citizens bank.
1t is claimed that Moore negotiated
real estate deal III July, 1900, between
Evan T. Evans of this city and DR.. Bel
yea, Of Minot, and that Evans gave Bel
yea note for $4OO, bearing s per cent in
terest and due in one year, secured by a
mortgage. The note was sold by Belyea
to the Great Northern bank at Minot, so
it is claimed, and Belyea, also assigned
the mortgage to the bark. Evans paid
this note and mortgage when due. 1t is
further claimed that before forwarding
to Belyea the note and mortgage, Moore
made q duplicate Of them, forging the
signatures, together with a forged assign
ment of the note and mortgage to himself
from Belyea. These. it is claimed, he dis
posed of to the National Citizens bank,
receiving $400 The forgery was not dis
covered until the paper had been sent to
the Minot bank for collection. Only re-
Gently was any crookedness suspected,
when steps were taken to arrest Moore.
He was found in his office in the New
York Life building. He gives an entirely
different version of the affair. He says
that the note and mortgage which he sold
the National Citizens hank were the
originals and that the ones purchased by
the Minot bank must have been forgeries.

The perfectly nourished body has no
fear of nervous exhaustion, brain fag or
other debilitating naladies which carry
millions to their graves.
Public men and women and those who
lead typical American lives are the
greatest sufferers from nervous exhaus-
ton. Irregular diet and late hours are
chiefly responsible, and the resort to
ordinary nerve tonics only adds fuel to
the fire, because they excite and do
nothing to supply nourishment.

81 Gallons Of Beer.

The consumption of beer in Germany
for 1901 averaged ffty-seven gallons per
man, woman and child throughout the
empire. In Bavaria the average was 212
gallons. The large amount Of beer used
in Germany coupled with the general
healthfulness of the German race would
lead one to conclude that beer in general
is good for the health. There are all
kinds Of beer, however, but Golden Grain
Belt is the best, for it is brewed from

RURAL CARRIERS PAY
Bill for an Increase Introduced b
MIR. McCIeary.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Representative
McCleary has introduced a bill providing
for an increase of the salaries of carriers
in the rural free delivery service. When
Mr.. McCleary took this matter up with
the officials several weeks ago they stated
that the department was empowered to
increase the salaries of rural carriers and
that such step was in contemplation.
The Minnesota man was recently Informed
that the depart ment would prefer to have
congress take the initiative in the matter.
The bill establishes three grades Of car
riers in the rural service. For the first
year the salary is fixed at $500, for the
second year $500 and the third year $72O.
It provides that carriers now in the ser
vice shall be given credit for the time
they have served.

MRS. RICHARDSON'S TRIAL
Theory AS to the Mo-
tive for the Killing.


Plattsburg, Mo-, Jan. 22-Mrs. Addie L.
Richardson faced a jury in the circuit
court here yesterday at trial for the muir
der year ago last December of her hus-
band, Frank w. Richardson, millionaire
merchant, at their home in Savannah, Mo.
The prosecution under the Indictment of
murder in the first degree is based on the
proposition that the prisoner either killed
her husband or knows who did it. The
belief that all members of the Richard
son family have all along expressed in the
innocence of the widow seems to be un-
shaken by the recent arrest of Stewart
Fife, the former business associate Of
Richardson. Attorney c. F. Booher, in
the statement of the case for the state,
said:
AS motive, we will try to show that Mrs
Richardson was unduly intimate with Stewart
Fife, and we expect to show that Fife was
in the neighborhood of the house that night.

disposed of. It will throw open to settlement

Money for Forest Reserves.

Strong reasons are given by the interior
department for asking an additional ap-
preparation of 100000, making total Of
$500,00O, for forest reserve purposes for
the coming fiscal year. On account Of the
smallness of the current appropriation
more than 100000 acres Of forest re-
serve, mostly in Washington, Wyoming,
California and Oregon, one fourth Of the
governments entire forest reserve area,
was left without supervision this year, and
forces entirely inadequate have been COM
PEELED to do the work in the other states
where forest reserves are located.
One of the results of the lack of ap-
preparation for this year has been the
putting into unframed hands of the work
Of forest surveys, timber! measuring, esti-
mating and scaling. The large timber
sales in the Black Hills received the at
tention of only few ranges, so that the
scaling of several million feet of timber
was left to one man. Speaking of this
Black Hills work, Secretary Hitchcock
says:
Where any ordinary firm would have had
at least two experienced scalers, the reserve
administration could spare but one, unframed
to the work. who was required to do guard
duty besides the scaling. In this way the
business of large and costly mills was delayed
sometimes stopped-whie applications for
timber were delayed, often for months, be-
cause the service lacked experienced men.
The foregoing is only part Of the re-
suit of the penny wise$ policy adopted by
congress. Delays have been imposed on
mining firms and others, in spite Of the
most urgent necessities, because the
small salary made possible by the ap-
preparation failed to bring men Of proper
training and experience into the service,
and the reports and papers made out by
them failed to furnish the information
required for an intelligent disposition of
the case"
Not only this, but the shortage of men
made it impossible fpr the orders Of the
department to be carried out Extra
work in the future" says Secretary
Hitchcock, will require extra help, or
else will involve still further delays"
This extra work. in the future will con-
sist Of the care of additional reserves, the
more perfect care of all the reserves,
particularly in the direction Of permanent
improvements and prompt, intelligent
treatment Of all classes of business,
especially the cutting Of timber.
