NEW SWINDLE is WORKED
Fake Doctors Have Ingenious Game to
Securt Signatures.

Victims of a swindle that has some
decidedly antedeluyian characteristics
| are beginning to be heard from in
this section. II is n variation of the
old game Of getting a farmer to affiX
| his name to a contract which after
wards turns up as a promissory note,
but in this instance the medium
through which the signature is Sc
cured is an agreement for medical
treatment instead of for lightning
rods
Two men travel together, one repre-
senting himself to be the president of
a medical school in Chicago and the
other as a physician. They usually
pick out some substantial citizen in a
rural community who is of foreign ex-
traction and not familiar with the
English language. They offer to eX-
anime the farmer and his family free
of charge for evidence of disease.
stating that they wish to do so for
scientific purposes.
When the examination is made the
doctor discovers the presence of
some serious malady. but claims To
have a patent medicine which will
effect Il complete cure. If the farmer
demurs on account of expense. the
physician declares that the trial of
the remedy need cost nothing and
that he VII have to pay only in the
event of efficaciOus treatment.
As Il rule. the two together finally
induce the farmer TO sign his name to
a paper which they tell him is a con-
tract for treatment of himself and
70 no fai1
TO cure the contract is void. The vic
tim signs and the visitors depart,
promising to come again soon and see
how the family are progressing. This
they never do. but in the course of
several months a stranger shows up
with a promissory note. and demands
payment
OF course. the holder of the note
claims to be an innocent purchaser
without knowledge of the swindle.
and he threatens suit unless the in
strument is paid. Sometimes this is
sufficient to brighten the signer into
paying over the money, but the latter
is often so incensed over the manner
in which he has been duped that he
defies the collector. and it is then up
TO the stranger to start an action at
law.
The first pair of sharpers are Gun
ming enough to make the note pay
able at some point not contiguous to
the to the locality where the victim
resides. so as 10 avoid the element
of sympathy for a home man at the
trial of the case. 1t is necessary for
the signer in order 10 escape pay
ment to make an absolute showing of
fraud. which is a difficult matter. in
view of the fact that he is generally
unable 10 read English and cannot
testify positively to the character OF
the paper he has signed.
A great many of these notes. it is
reported. have made their appearance
and collection has been enforced on
some of them.

attractive and interesting. Its field,
which it is covering in a remarkably
able and attractive manner, is broad
one. 1t may be summed up from the
introductory page: History, from a
country Astounding in fact, more in
teresting than the widest fiction; life
on ranch and range, in Businesses of
mountains, and on the limitless plains:
Adventures, Failures and Successes in
search for the wealth of the Rockies:

picture, in its pages. Verse, Stray
Thoughts, Topics of the Day; Books

Special features of the August num-
Der are: "TeXas and her Liberator,

John DOwd King: Illustrated descrip-
tive articles on notable section of
Wyoming, Texas and Colorado The
editorial pages are thoughtfully writ
ten. The two main topics, Source of
Political Corruption, and Law and
Order in Colorado" are to the point
and are we'll worth reading. The
lighter sides, book reviews, stories,
poems, are equally good in their way
For the thinker, and the man seeking
reliable information about the West,
as we'll as for him who wants some
good general reading on topics of
Western interests this new magazine
has much to commend it.
In order to extend rapidly the cir
culation list special offer of trial

FRUIT FOR ST. LOUIS FAIR.
The Maryland Horticultural Society

The Maryland Horticultural Society
Asks for Garrett County Varieties.
Maryland Day at the st. Louis
Fair will be September 18th, and it is
the desire of those having charge of
our States interests to have as fine a
show upon that date as possible. In
this connectionsthe Maryland Horti-
cultural Society will send a car load
of choice fruit, and the wish is that
each county shall contribute.
As Vice President for Garrett coun-
ty, l have been asked to secure
an exhibit from our county, and take
this means of letting the wish be
known generally.
May | not ask that each farmer will
examine his orchards, apple, plum.
peach, etc, and see whether he has
not at least one variety worthy of rep
resentation and if so. pick carefully
by hand not less than a dozen speci-
mems of each variety, giving the
name), wrap them each separately in
soft paper, and send them with my
name in care of one of the leading
merchants of Oakland, ON Tuesday,
September 9th.
Each exhibitor will be given credit
for his exhibit but shall reserve the
right to reje ct any not coming up to
the required standard of perfect fruit.
l earnestly hope that all will take
an interest in this matter, and that
we may secure an exhibit worthy OF
our county.
