WASTING SICKNESS

WHICH PUZZLES DOCTORS.
Mrs. Allaire was Failing Every Day and
Eer Physician Could Not

Eer Physician Could Not
Help Her.
How many men and women are suf-
fering from a facilitating illness for
which doctors can find no satisfactory
explanation and which ordinary medi-
cines fail to cure. A recommendation
of change of air is often the result of
fruitless experimenting. Many, how
ever, are not able TO follow such advice
and others, unfortunately, find no ben
eft after all their expense and trouble.
This, for long time, was the experience
Of Mrs. George Allaire, OF No. 4 Knox
street, Worcester, Mass. She says:

that the doctor who was attending me

on taking this medicine for while

DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, the medicine which cured Mrs. Al
laire and thousands of others, are an I'M
failing specific for all diseases arising
from impoverished blood or weakened,
unstrung nerves-two fruitful causes of
nearly all the ailments to which man.

cases of rheumatism. nervousness, spinal

CLOTHING FOUND.
It Had Been Stolen From Mrs. Good
rich's Woodshed.

From Fridays Daily.
Officer Klughertz yesterday afternoon
investigated the burglary of the wood
shed in the rear of Mrs. Mary E. Good
rich's residence. He found some of the
stolen articles in the alley in the rear
of E. Rosenberger's residence on North
Broad street. These consisted of seven
pairs of trousers, vest and hat; and
another pair of trousers and two coats
were recovered later, that had been tax
en- from the alley by innocent parties
who thought that the clothing had been
thrown out.
1t is thought that the robbers took
the clothing out into the alley, not over
three quarters of block from where it
was stolen, and picked out the best and
left the balance One or more hats were
stolen, which indicates that the robbers
were the same parties who tried to get
into the Cousandier saloon. where one of
them lost his hat.

DENY THE STORY.
No Woman in Case That Caused Buck
to Be Blackmaiied.

From Fridays Daily.
The Mapleton Enterprise of yester-
day contained story of the black
mailing of A. A. Buck by Chicago par
ties, saying that Buck was caught in
compromising position with another
mans wife. Mrs. Buck and Mrs. Abbott,
the latter sister of Mr.. Buck, deny
The Enterprise statement, and say that
there was no woman in the case nor
was there any murder committed. The
incident occurred one night ten years
ago while Mr.. Buck was asleep in an
express office in Chicago. 1t is said that
the last $4,000 was paid to the alleged
blackmailers short time ago.

LAW FIRM DISSOLVES.
From Fridays Daily.

to office together. Any practice that
Walter Plymat may have in the muni-
cipal court will be heard before Special
Judge Ogle.

wife, on informing her of the situation,
that he "felt that he was discovered
when the bank examiner was here on his
last VISIT
1t is also said that Mr. Buck stated to
one of his family, to whom he confided
his shortage, that he had expected before
this to have inherited sufficient proper
ty to make good the amount he had
taken, but disappointed in this and hav-
ing reached the end of his resources in
manipulating affairs, and fearing discov-
cry he took safety in fight.
The bachmail story as told is, that
several years ago, prior to his advent in
Mapleton, Mr. Buck was discovered in a
compromising position with another
mans wife in Chicago. He was attacked
by the man and in the affray the fellow
was seriously injured. Since that time
the woman and her brother have repeat
eddy made demands upon him for money,
which he has paid rather than suffer
exposure. If there is any truth to the
story the money has been sent in cur
rency as no drafts, money orders, or
anything of that character can be found,
that he has sent to outside parties,
which might, by any stretch of magma
ton, be considered blackmail.
The defaulter left Mapleton a week
ago Saturday night and remarked just
before taking the train that he disliked
very much to leave Dan, his little son,
and his speech indicated evidence of
crying, although it seemed somewhat
strange that he should be so affected
when leaving ostensibly only for brief
absence of ten days or two weeks, no
suspicious were aroused or the truth
would have been suspected that the
absence was to be for longer time.
Mr.. Buck proceeded to Walker where he
was expected to make the transfer of
cashiers, checking out Mr.. Kneeland, the
retiring cashier, and Mr.. f. B. Davis
stepping into the position. Mr.. Buck
went to Walker supposedly to do this
work but his errand was a different one
as he but partially completed the work
and then he told Mr. Davis that he was
going over to Duluth to visit friend
and would be back later in the week to
assist him further in the work and spend
"a little time hunting. His visit to
Walker was for the purpose of cashing a
check of $3.50, issued by R. B. Hanna
in part payment for the farm recently
purchased of Mr. Buck. The check was
dated November LIST, and was not to be
presented for payment until that time
By going to Walker where he was
known and interested he could get the
check cashed, and did so on the promise
that he would not have the drafts pre-
sented until the money was available
He secured 500 in cash on this check and
draft Tor 500 more payable to Mr.
Wilhartz of Mankato. He agreed with
the Walker bank to have Mr.. Wilhartz
hold this draft until the first of No
vember, but that gentleman presented it
for payment Immediately and Mr.. Buck
failed to return to Walker on Friday as
expected.

Editorially The Enterprise says:
"There is lesson in the defalcation of
Alfred A. Buck. He travelled the pace
that kills. His associations were not
such as to inspire confidence, and would
not have done so but for the honored
career of his noble father. He had a
beautiful home, surrounded with every
comfort, had been twice honored with
the highest position within the gift of
the people of the community. Instead
of approaching his position and endeav-
oring to build up the community his ex-
ample was such as to be demoralizing to
the rising generation. His habits and
associations were not in keeping with
the position he occupied as citizen or
as man, and he has simply reaped
what he sowed and from now, hence
forth is a fugitive upon the face of the
earth, with the shadow of prison walls
staring him in the face, his aged father
bereaved and his family disgraced. 1t
is certainly gloomy picture and carries
forward in convincing manner the old
precept that honesty is the best policy
Alfred Buck simply travelled the pace
that kills.
