CLEVER CROOK CAUGHT
THOMAS Curtis, WANTED HERE,
ARRESTED IN MILWAUKEE
Police Know Him as smooth CRATER
Charged With Working I'll. c.
schIuter for $iI on
Forged Check,


Chief of Police O'Connor received a tel
egram last night from John I. Jansen.
chief of police at Milwaukee, Wis, stat
ing that Thomas Curtis had been arrested
in that city and that he would return to
Minnesota without requisition papers. An
officer will be sent to Milwaukee this
morning to bring him to st. Paul, where
he will be compelled to answer to the
charge of forgery.
The particular crime for which Curtis
is, wanted here is passing a forged check
upon H. c. Schluter for $11. The check
was made out in favor of George Wilson
and was payable at the Second National
bank, of this city. A warrant was made
out here for Curtis arrest and was
sworn to by Otto III. Onacker. 1t is
also understood that he passed another
check for 81 upon man on Rice street,
but the name of the loser in this trans
action has not been learned.
Curtis is well known in police circles,
having been in the tolls at different times.
He is, the police say, CRATER who puts
in all his time at the work. It is his
custom to enter a saloon or boarding
house, and, after saluting the proprietor,
proceed to spend money freely. After he
has spent considerable, he will produce a
check which the proprietor can hardly re-
fuse to cash, as the stranger has been
spending so H1ucA real money. Inc check
of course proves worthless, and the
CRATER walks out several dollars richer
than when he went in.
The police have been on the lookout for
Curtis for several weeks, but he has been
able to keep out of their clutches until
now. A few days ago Chief O'Connor
learned that he was In Milwaukee, and
notified the police Of that city, asking
them to arrest him. He is wanted in other
cities, having worked in Minneapolis,
Duluth and other places in the West.

The Owner Comments on Grape
Nuts.
A farmer with his out-of-door work
might have reason to expect more than
the average Of good health if he would
use proper food and have it well cooked
but many of them in middle age, suffer
tornlents from dyspepsia, and following
that weakened nervous system.
10 show sthe value of a change in food
we quote from. a letter written by L.
Flagler, owner Of Hill Brook Farm,
Charlottesville, Va.
81 have spent very considerable
amount of money in trying to cure my
stomach trouble with medicines and have
changed climate several times. About
two years ago | was taken worse. My
heart and kidneys gave me much trouble.
I could not sleep nights. Was very
nervous, thin and discouraged. Finally I
changed my food and began taking
Grape Nuts Breakfast Food. This agreed
with me, and I thought could see my
way out, so L have stuck to Grape Nuts
for a year and half and gradually the
old troubles have disappeared
| have made splendid progress IN
health and strength, sleep well and can
now do a good days work for man Of
fifty years.
| know that Grape-Nuts caused the
change, and although l am now able to
use other food as I like, still I stick to
Grape-Nuts because / know how It nour-
ished me, and, besides, wife and both
like the food.
She says nothing has helped her
nervous system like Grape-Nuts. We buy
the food by the case and are very enthu-
siastic in regard to it,
IT is plain that nervous, worn out peo-
pie can be brought back to health by
using Grape-Nuts.

HOW TO KEEP VINEGAR.

State Dairy and Food Department
Gives Advice to Dealers.
The state dairy and food department
has just issued a circular to dealers in
vinegar instructing them as to keeping
and handling it in sucn a manner that 1t
will not Ceteriorate in quality.
Commissioner Mcconnell in this circular
says that he is convinced that in many
cases in which samples Of vinegar had
been tested and found to be not up to
the standard required by law, the dealer
from whose stock it was taken had
been guilty only of earelessness and had
not knowingly offered for sale an inferior
article; and in fact that the vinegar had
originally been Of good quality and le-
gal standard, but mad become spoiled
through lack Of care. He says barrel
of vinegar which is alternately exposed
to heat and cold will lost strength and in
very short time fall below the stand
ard; or that the action of the air alone
will in time affect it. He warns dealers
not to keep vinegar near stoves, and to
keep all vents In the barrels closed. The
barrels, he says. should not be shaken or
tilted and the remnant of one barrel
should not be poured into another.

Hundreds of Small Checks Used u,

for small amounts and never cashed?
What becomes of the money placed to
the credit of these checks i'm the banks
by the city treasurer? This is the puz-
zle just now engrossing the attention
of several members of the city council
and it will shortly be made a subject or
special inquiry by that body.
At the meeting of the Investigating
committee named to inquire into the
charges Of official misconduct relative 70
Bank Examiner Popes report on the
city engineering department last MISS
this matter was incidentally broach-
ed, and though each official
even to a representative of the
legal department was familiar with
the procedure attending the issuance and
cashing Of city warrants, none could ac-
count for warrants that are lost and
never cashed, or who is the gamer as a
result
Under the prevailing system when
pay roll is approved by the council, Il
sum of money equal in amount is placed
in one of the local banks, and warrants
issued against it. This is the same in the
case of all street and sewer improve
ments, the estimated cost being provided
for by a deposit in the bank. If there
is any unexpended balance it is later
checked back into the citys strong box.
but there is no way to ascertain whether
checks issued have been cashed, unless
it Is by the vouchers which are returned
to the city each month by the banks.
1t Is known that hundreds of checks
for small amounts given out are lost
by careless holders, and the question
now is who is the gamer by this care
lessness. For every check out there
must be money for it's payment, and
where such are lost, or delayed for years
before being presented, some one must
be ahead and those who have interested
themselves in the matter think the banks
are the gamers.
In the water department there are
disputed checks out that were issued
three years ago and have never been
cashed. The amount is quite large and
during all that time the bank in which
the money is on deposit has been real
izlng by its USE
The matter came UP in an informal
discussion in the committee last night
and was thought of such Importance that
steps will be taken at once to have
the puzzle explained

THE democratic party is becoming
more and more convinced that it has no
cause for Encouragement over the result
of last Tuesdays election. A party
which two years ago was rent by divisions
in some of the States, has exhibited so
much vitality throughout the country as
to come within less than score of ma
jority of representatives in Congress.
This prompts the Philadelphia Record to
say: "Such a party when true to its
principles need have no fear of the future.
The great questions which concern the
whole people were only partially at issue
in this contest, but wherever they were
considered apart from State question-as
in New York, Massachusetts,, New
Jersey and Maryland-the democrats
more than held their own. On these
issues of national concern the two
parties will be squarely aligned in 1904,
and by steadfastly adhering to demo-
cratic ground in the next two years and
avoiding all needless causes of faction
the foundations will be laid for glori-
Gus victory over the party of tariff spolia-
ton and the trusts"

CAPTURED by Bandits.

St. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 10.-That Su-
perintendent Egan, of the Great North.
ern Railroad, is prisoner in the hand:
of bandits, is theory advanced by scouts
who have returned to Bolton, from q
search for the missing man, who went
hunting last Tuesday in the Rocky
Mountains and has not been heard from
since. The fact that his body has not
been found and that he has been forced
to follow the compass north leads to the
theory that he may have come upon the
abode Of bandits who last week held up
and robbed the Northern Pacific train Of
several thousand dollars. While the
country into which Egan went is but a
short distance from the railroad it is one
of the widest regions in America and
not even the Indians are familiar with it.

messenger was burned to death. J. G..
Edward, an express messenger, of Roam
oke, Va, was injured. Robert Parks,
the mail clerk, from Roanoke, is miss

signal of the fagman, which the passen-
ger engineer failed to see. The second
wreck occurred at l p. m. yesterday at
Ingleside, near Bluefeld. The engine
of passenger traid No. was derailed and
overturned, killing Engineer Charles
