Letting Ills Friends n-BeWare of the Fake
Game Hundreds Biting Sentinel's Expose /

There was considerable specu-
lation why Prof. W. H. Miller went
back to Bloomington, Illinois.
There were a few let into the Sc
cret when he came back. lie, as
we'll as others will be surprised
that The Sentinel knows why he
went back and for the protection
of the public The Sentinel wants
to warn all its friends from invest
ing in THE--GET-RlCh--QUlCK
scheme, into which doubtless the
professor has already invested
and which he has endeavored TO
get other citizens to invest, since
his returning to Grand Junction.
The scheme is rank fake and
depends entirely for its success to
those who invest, upon their Sc
curing other suckers.
Here is the story as given in a
telegram to this paper from a re-
liable authority in the associated
press.
Prof. Miller has dropped some
Introductory cards around town
and has in his possession some of
the cards that have the endorse
ment of Bloomington bankers,
with which to get the unwary to
take hold.
The editors of the other evening
sheet were "next" to the scheme
but kept quiet instead of exposing
the fake and protecting the citi-
zens of Grand Junction.

rich-quick" scheme is cutting a

Mr.. Lyttle came to Denver during
the latter part of February and enter
ed the hospital. Although he had
been suffering great pain for several
weeks, he was not aware of the cause
An examination with theX ray brought
to light stone of unusual proper

According to the physicians who at
tended him, a stone of this size must
have had its origin years ago. How

suades to Bloomington to in

ton. One-half railway, hotel
and Pullman expenses are paid
the investor by Mr.. White, the
promoter at Bloomington, the
investor binding himself not to
reveal the nature of the secret
he has bought, thus awaken
ing curiosity in future investors.
Since he receives $3.50 for ev-
cry buyer brought in, each
buyer in turn brings in his
friends to "a good thing" and
an "endless chain" is formed
that is sweeping the country
and will leave many with only
the sack to hold. 1t mayl be
mentioned that the wonderful
secret invention is a patent
farm fence that costs $I2. so
and retails for $24. The gate
has some merit, but the price
is too high and the profits are
made in bringing in investors
at $3.50 each who pay the
$1,000 for the right to sell the
invention and to bring in
others for half the money.
For example, delivering six
customers to Mr.. White the
commission at $3.50 each is
$4,000. The original cost was
$500, and there is a net profit
of $4,000 to the steerer. No
one can get into the graft ex-
cept through some one already
in, thus paying those already in
Enormous crowds are pour
ing into Bloomington, brought
by friends to invest, and they
in turn are back in a few days
with their friends to invest, and
thus it goes without apparent
end. T1r. White gives names
of hundreds who have made
$4,000 to $4,000 in the last
sixty days by pushing this
invention" of his, and points
out the site of the prospective
gate factory to the doubtful
ones.

not understand. This note was given

territory was Montrose and Delta
counties and knew perfectly. we'll w hat

Dear Sir:-The undersigned. Who
are all of the members of the Finance
Committee of the City OF Fsairnlo nt. 3resTS
specially invite your imrned iate Con-
sideration of the following matters
pertaining to the finances of said city.
viz:
1. AS you are aware. work has been
resumed upon the new city reservoir
and filter plant, on Log Cabin EiflI,
and under the contract by the city
with the perso1Is.whota are erecting and
constructing said plant a very large
sum or money. probably S25 000. 00ss
Will be required to he paid upon said
contract, in addition to the PAYMENTS
already made thereon, and IL this work
Is carried on with the speed Inch
every one now hopes and believes 1t
will be, this sum viii become payable
before any money is likely. to be res
ceived on the taxes for the year
1904. we are advised that there is
in your hands forscolle ton taxes for
the year 1908. and possibl for q her
years, aggregating something like s 80, IS
10000; and further that you have ur-S
collected water rents aggregatingg
about 81 10000, the two accounts
amounting to S11,000.o0 or 81 100000.
We have not been advised as to what
proportion, IL any,of these various ac-s
counts should be classed as actually
delinquent, yet it is surprisi ing that
such large percentage or the taxes;
approximately about % per cen go
should be withheld from the eli and
the government denied the usesof thai 81
money which by right and by law e is /.
entitled to have, and which must
have in order to enable it to fulfill Its
obligations. 1t occurs to us that all s
patriotic and law-abiding citizens are
equally Interested with the officials OFFS
the city in having all of the contracts
that are Intended to promote the well
fare OF the community. faithfully and
honestly carried out, and one wa " to 4
do that is for every citizen md tax
payer to promptly contribute his just
proportion of the burdens of TAXATION.
Those of our people who have failed Z
to thus pay are making 1t more di III
cult for the city authorities to proper
Iy discharge their public duties, and
where this failure to pay - due atoS ar,s:S
intention upon the part oil the tax
payer to embarrass the admins traZZ
ton, or to evade his Just proportion OF y
the public debt. the officers are, in s
our humble opinion, justif led in having
recourse to the remedies provided by
law for the enforced collection OF s
taxes and levies.
