"lt'S not often we have faith enough
 in medicine put up by other people
 to guarantee cure, but we're glad to
 refund the money if pr Ames' Pleas
 ant Specific does not cure the worst
 case of constipation or dyspepsia in
 this town," said MT Betts, the popular
 druggist, to BEE reporter who drop
 ped into his store yesterday to pick up an item, and found that all he could
 get the druggist to talk about was the
 wonderful success they were having
 with pr Ames' Pleasant Specific fo1 the cure of all digestive difficulties, liver troubles and bowel bothers. 'The Dr AmeS Company in order to secure quick introductory sale in NeWtown and vicinity have allowed us to sell their regular soc Specific at half price, and guarantee a cure, or return the money, and although we have sold lot of it there has not been a single complaint. We do not expect to get much more to sell this way and wish you would tell your readers to hurry up and take advantage of this unusual offer.
 One of the principal advantages of this Specitic,' MT Betts added, lis it's small dose and convenient form. There is full months treatment which can be carried in the purse or vest pocket, and every one has more power for good than big tablet or a pint of mineral water.
 You can also tell your readers that | any of them that are subject to con- stipation, sick headache, dizziness, | numbnesS, gas on stomach, indigestion. | Specks before the eyes, or general | played-out condition, should not let | this chance of cure slip by, for if pr l Ames' Specific doesn't cure they can | come here and have their money l back.'
 Betts & Betts have the sole agency for this pleasant medicine in this town, and have sold great many bot ties since they agreed to sell it at half price-a full fifty cents worth for twenty-five cents, and money back if it doesn't cure. Many people are buy ing several bottles at a time so as to always have the Specific m the house and at the same time profit by the saving in price.

CORTELYOU TO REPLY
Will Answer Charges Made Against
Him BY Politicians.

NEW YORK, Nov. At may be
truthfully said that no event of the
present republican campaign excited a
livelier interest among the politicians
of both parties than is manifested in
the meeting to be held at Durland's
riding academy tonight under the aus
pices Of the west side republican club.
The extraordinary interest is due to
the announcement that the speaker of
the evening will be Chairman Cortel-
you of the national republican commit
tee. 1t is understood that Mr.. Cortel-
yous purpose in taking the platform
at public meeting is to answer the
charges that have been made against
him in connection with collections for
the republican campaign fund. Mr.
Cortelyou, it is said, decided to make
a public defense of his conduct as ma
tional chairman at the earnest solicit
tation of President Roosevelt, who is
understood to have been considerably
annoyed by the talk about Mr. Cortel-
yOu's part in the collection of cam
paign funds from trusts and corpora
lions.

SEEKS POISON IN BOEN'S BODY
Coroner at Albert Lea Looking Into a
Suspicious Death.

ALBERT LEA, Nov. 4.-Coroner
Spicer has had the remains of Annun
Boon, who died in the town of Hart
land nearly a year ago, exhumed and
sent to the state chemist at the uni
versity to ascertain if Boen came to
his death by poison.
When Boon died there were rumors
among his neighbors that poison had
caused his death. So strong was the
talk that the coroner had the grave
opened and the stomach taken from
the body and sent away for analysis
There appeared no traces of poison
and the chemist asked to have the en-
tire body sent to him.
Boen was a married man. His wild
over protests her ignorance of any in
dications of poison.

again beat her. The next night she
says he deliberately choked her and
attempted to carry her to the place he
had selected for her.
She screamed and escaped from him.
She told her story to a Waterman of
a local theatre, who for the night Sc

Police Delaney's office and related her
experiences.
Duckman's arrest was Immediately
ordered, and in less than an hour ne

fore Judge George, but asked for time
to plead. In the meantime, his bail
was fixed at $500 cash, and failing to
give it, he was sent to Jail.
