TURF INVESTORS CROWD BANK.
Checks Issued by Marshal Morsey
to Ryan Patrons Are Cashed.

The Mississippi Valley Trust Company
was thronged during banking hours yester-
day with hundreds OF creditors OF the J. j.
Ryan Turf Investment Company. who
brought their Is per cent dividend checks
to b. cashed. The lines in front Of the pay
Ing tellers' windows were long. and made
up OF persons apparently representing all
classes OF society.
Up to the closing hour over 500 checks
were cashed. These ranged from g to $40.
In many instances the tellers were not
acquainted with holders Of checks. and re-
fused payment on them until the parties
were identified. This caused some confu-
sion and delay. as the person returning
with some one To Identify him usually
wanted first place in the line.
The checks cashed yesterday were n part
OF the 1900 signed by United States Mar
shall Morsey as receiver Of the quick-Tich
company. As the Marshal has deposited all
the funds with the Mississippi Valley Trust
Company. every one OF the 1900 will sooner
or later reach that institution. but many of
them will come in through the clearing
house from other banks and trust compa-
MES.
The smaller investors who have no hank
accounts will for the most part present
their checks In person for payment. so hat
the tellsrs will be kept busy for several
days. officials OF the trust company advise
all persons presenting checks for payment
to be identified. as no payments will be
made otherwise.

$500 FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

Backed up by over a third of a century
of remarkable and uniform cures, a record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of
Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of kucouhea, Female Weakness,
Prolspsus, or Falling of Womb which they
can not cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility is well
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States. with most
of whom they have done business for over
q third of a century. From this fact Il will
readily be seen how utterly foolish it would
be for them to make the above uuprece-
dented and remarkable offer if they were
not basing their offer OIL curative means
having an unparalleled record. No other
medicine than DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription could possibly win out" IS the
saying goes, on such a proposition. But
they know whereof they speak. They have
the most remarkable record of cures made
by this world-faned remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
designed for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
possessed of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant its makers in
publishing such 4 marvellous offer as is
above made in the utmost good faith.
'I want to tell you Of the great improvement
in my health since taking your 'Favoritc Pre-
scription,'" says Mrs. II. s. Jones, Of Forest,
~ c ~when ! began its use I was a physical
wreck and had despaired Of ever having any

kinds Of exercise and not feel tired"
If you are led to the purchase of Favor
ite Prescription because of its remarkable
cures, do not accept a substitute which has
none of these cures to its credit.

an Whose Mother and Brother,
Under Sweating, Have Made
Admissions About Crime.

Omaha, April H-ChIef Of Police Donahus
has received information from Cheyenne
that Frank L. Knight. wanted here in con-
nection with the mysterious disappearance
OF his wife. was seen in that city last night.
The Information states that Jeanie Du-

Cheyenne. admitted that Knight called on
her last evening and was with her for some
time. Every effort Is being made to appre-
bend him.
The letter in possession OF the police. writ
zen by Knight TO Mrs Stiles. mother OF
Miss Dusenberry. contains the following:

Stiles.
POLICE CONFIDENT.
The police feel assured now that they are
on the right track. and have decided that,
beyond doubt. Mrs. Knight was murdered
and her body disposed OF.
Chief Donahue stated to-day that Mrs.
Stiles and her son, NIalvin Dusenberry, who
were placed in the sweat box again early
this morning. have made confessions which
are sufficient to convict Knight. should he
be captured. The Chief refused 10 MAKE
public the nature OF the confessions, but
said he was satisfied with the result of
the sweating and that the Information
secured would assist materially in the cap
ture OF Knight.
To-day il was learned that knight in
formed Malvin DusenbeTry early last week
that he would want his horse and wagon
some night during the week, and would
probably want II all night. Dusenberry
drove past the knight home Saturday even
ing. but, seeing nobody there. took the
horse TO the barn. About 1870 o'clock that
night knight went to D~uSenberry's home
and woke him UP. saying he wanted the rig
At once.
Dusenberry says he hitched up the horse
and rode TO Knights house. where he left
the rig with knight. and returned to his
room. The police believe, however. that
Dusenberry accompanied knight on his
drive.
Late this afternoon Chief DonahUe learned
that a wagon was seen late Saturday night
in the vicinity Of a vacant property near
Florence Lake. where Knight lived about a
year ago. The locality is also familiar TO

Our fruit raisers were greatly diss-
appointed last week when the severe

all thought the next day that the fruit
was all gone, but examination now in.
dictates that there is prospect that
some of it may come on. E. N. Tag
CART, who is regarded as perhaps the
best authority here, as fruit raising
is his business, says he has carefully
examined the fruit buds and thinks the
situation is as follows: plums gone,
cherries promise about half crop, cur.
rants and gooseberries gone, apples
hurt some, raspberries all right,
grapes unhurt and strawberries un-
hurt.
A. F. Drake reports that late cher
ries are all right. He has examined a
great many buds under a strong mi
croscope and says that out of % Dye
house buds all were dead, out of q
early Richmond all but one were dead
out of % Montemorency all were alive
but one and of % English Morrello
all we're alive.
The fear is expressed by some thai
although the buds may now appear
alive that the freeze ruined the stem
and that much of the fruit may break
off and fall.
