ROB SMALL TICKET OFFICES.
Railroads Believe That Thieves Are
Supplying Ticket ScalDers.

Chicago, March 5.-Railroad officials
are in possession of information which
leads them to believe that an organized
gang of thieves is at work stealing
tickets of the skeleton form and selling
them to brokers in all parts of the
country. This form of ticket is more
easily manipulated than any other and
the losses sustained by the roads
through such manipulation are very
heavy indeed. The Railway Ticket Pro-
tective bureau is now at work trying to
run down the perpetrators of the frauds
and has already succeeded in collecting
much evidence which may be of use
in the prosecution of the thieves when
they are arrested.
The method employed, it is declared,
consists of robbing small stations
where access to the tickets is easy, and
then disposing of the tickets to scalp
ers at widely separated points. Tickets
which have been taken UP on different
roads at different times Necently have
been found to be filled out in the same
handwriting.
Pinkerton detectives in the employ of
the bureau are now at work on clews
furnished by tickets that have already
been taken up, and arrests are looked
for. More evidence is sought by the
bureau and the railroads are asked to
furnish minute information in regard
to each ticket taken up.

Clergymen Caught Swindling
Chicago Railroad Companies.
Sold Their Half-rate Coupons
to Ticket Scalpers.
FOUND DISCREPANCIES
Minister Bought Tickets in>TwO
Directions Same Day.
Coupon System Responsible for
Detection of Fraud.

Chicago, March 5.-Detectives Of the
Western Passenger association yester-
day unearthed a deal between two
cIergymen and a Clark street ticket
scalper, under which nearly all the
railroads running out Of Chicago have
been defrauded since January 1. ON
Gals of the association believe that the
same persons have been pursuing their
fraudulent practices for years. The
names of these persons will not be d.
Vulged by officials of the association,
who have secured possession of the GER
tffcates under which the clergymen
purchased tickets at half rates and dis
posed of them to the scalper, who IN
turn sold them at an advanced price TO
his patrons.
Until this year the Western associa-
ton gave to clergymen simply print
ed card, on presentation of which any
ticket agent OF any line in the aSsocla-
ton would sell ticket at half the
regular fare, no record being made OF
the number or value of tickets.
So many cases were found Of clergy
men loaning their cards to their friends,
and even lOaning them for long periods
to scalpers, that on January the West
ern association adopted the system in
vented by Gerrit Fort when Secretary
of the Central Passenger association to
prevent such practices.
Under this system each clergyman is
given a book containing 100 coupons,
one of which is detached by the ticket
agent whenever he sells ticket at half
rate, noting on the coupon the date
of sale, origin, destination, and value
of the ticket, and securing the sigma
ture of the person - whom the ticket
was sold. These coupons are forward
ed to the Western Passenger associa-
ton, where they are checked up. As
ha
ed. a glance tells just how many tick
cts each clergyman has purchased dur
ing any period, between what points
he has travelled, and on what dates
It was due to a discrepancy between
the signatures on the coupons issued to
two clergymen and the fact that on the
same date two tickets over different
roads to points far apart were secured
on one certificate that the deal between
the two clergymen and scalper has
been discovered. These clergymen will
never again get tickets at half rates
from any railroad.
Il believe that less than L per cent
of the clergymen abuse the privilege
extended to them by the railroads., -
said Chairman Mcleod of the western
association. 1.-THE other day minister
came to me who had not had a half
rate permit for two years, because we
knew he had rented permit to
some friends.
AIlOlueI minister an OlQ lTleuu Ol
mine, said he hoped I would restore the
offending brother to the clergy list.
promised to do so if he would tell ms
the truth and promise to do right.
well, he came to ME, and began &
long story about being wrongly accus-
ed, declaring he had never abused oul
kindness. I told him the proof we ha6
against him. and, further. that mar

NO sToP-ovER PRIVILEGES.
Worlds Fair Visitors Can Not Stop at
Chicago or Kansas City.

Chicago, March 5.-The Western Pas
senger association has decided to al
low no stop-over on Worlds fair tick
cts at either Chicago or Kansas City.
The action will do great injury to Chi
cago and Kansas City interests. 1t
has been supposed that stop-over privl-
leges would be granted at both places,
but the roads refused to agree to this.
The through rates via Chicago will
be the same as via st. Louis, but this
will do Chicago no good, as passengers
must take the next train out. This
will have the effect of forcing most of
the through business during the
Worlds fair season via St. Louis.
The explanation given by the roads
is Missouri and the city of st. Louis
have taken action that will prevent
ticket scalping at ST. Louis. In Chi
cago, they say, ticket scalpers are not
restrained by the authorities. If stop
over privileges were granted at Chicago
the roads claim great Generalization in
rates would be caused by the scalpers-

WAS HILDERBRAND'S BODY
That Desperate Is Undoubtedly Dead
Saws DR.. Jones.

Chanute, Kas.. March 5.-The papers
recently printed story from Column
bia, Mo-. about the famous outlaw,
Sam Hilderbrand, whose record of
crime during and Immediately follow
ing the civil war will be remembered
by all middle aged and older people.
In this story George Carson intimated
that Hilderbrand might be still alive.
DR.. j. R Jones of this city says that
Hilderbrand is dead and that he sat on
the coroner's jury that rendered such
verdict, after taking testimony three
or four days as to his identity. Here
is DR.. Jones' version of his death:
Hilderbrand was killed in Pinkney-
vile, Ill, the county seat of Perry
county, in 1866. DR.. Jones. who was
practicing medicine near Pinkneyville,
says that he went to town one night
and that ''Bill" Anderson came to his
home and told him that Hilderbrand
was in town, and asked him to go down
town, which he did for a time, return
ing home about 10 o'clock. not having
seen OF heard of the Desperate in the
meantime. Later that night, however,
Hilderbrand appeared, and W. G. Cor

SETS OUT TO KILL
MRS. ETZ ATTACKED TWICE AND LEFT
IN A PITIABLE STATE.
Saved From Fatal Results of Second
Encounter with Grip by DR..
Williams Pink pills.

Not content with shifting down its
victims once, the grip often repeats the
attack. and is followed by such dis
tressing after-effects that many suffer-
ers succumb through exhaustion and
sheer encouragement. 1t is just here
that Dr.. Williams Pink Pills have
proved such a help to thousands of dis
pirited people.
Il suffered from two attacks of the
grip" says Mrs. Mary M. Etz of No 300
West Clinton street, Elmira, N. Y, land
the second attack was followed by ter
rible after effects. I suffered for near
ly a year and during a great part of
that time my symptoms were constant
ly increasing in severity, although I was
under the care of a doctor and a NURSE.
There was an inceSSant ringing noise
in my ears which was distracting to an
extent that I cannot describe I had
very weak heart action and I believe
that my kidneys became affected. There
were terrible pains in my back and
limbs and my feet and ankles were
swollen. 1 had night sweats and some
times a cold numbness would come over
my limbs.
My trouble was complicated with sci
attic rheumatism and at times / could
not raise my foot two inches from the
floor. The rheumatism grew gradually
worse as my system was weakened by
the poison the grip had left in my body.
About this time friend of mine who
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. I did so and had taken but one
box before was relieved. In all took
six boxes and was cured One remark
able thing L noticed about the pills was
that they began to give me strength
almost as soon as I began the treat
ment. I shall be glad to have you pub
fish my statement and I hope the pills
will be as much of a blessing to others
as they were to me-
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are so
promptly helpful in obstinate cases
where other remedies fail because they
act directly on the blood, expelling all
poisons and supplying the elements
upon which the entire system depends
for its strength. They also repair shat
tered nerves and minister hopefulness to
| overcome the depressing effects of dis
eases like the grip. They are sold by
all druggists throughout the world.
