Russia Taking Chances In Stopping
Neutral Vessels
The news that the Russian volun,
teer steamships smolensk and ST. Pet
Orsburg. now cruising in the Red Sea
are stopping ships of neutral nations
and searching them for contraband Of
war is causing the llvellest interest in
all circles. Russia has evidently
weighed the question. believes herself
TO be within her rights and neither
fears nor anticipates international
complications. Indeed, some OF the
powers may have been sounded by
Russia on the subject. Nevertheless
foreign opinion is awaited eagerly and
more or less criticism is expected.

FORCED NOTES FOUND.
Names OF Nelghboring Farmers Have
Been Misused.

Grinneil, Aug. mime forged notes
held by tho First National bank,
which was managed by the Spencers,
have come to light. 1t is thought
that they are but few of those which
have been classed as assets OF the
bank. The nine represented a total
Of s7.a4s.
Notices had been sent out to many
men in the surrounding country whose
names appeared on promissory notes
in the possession of the bank. During
the day nine men appeared and PRO-
nounced the paper TO which their
names appeared to be attached to be
forgeries.
In each of the notes appeared slight
errors, such as the displacement OF a
letter in the signature, etc. The rea-
son for this is not apparent.
The notes ranged from $500 UP.
Some were for $1,000.
Paper of this kind, of course, would
be passed by examiners always. There
was nothing on the face of the paper
to indicate its bogus character.
Names forged are as follows:
John Wickman. Malcolm, spelled on
note "Wyckman," amount $3.50.
II. w. Clay. Newburg, spelled on
note II. r. Clay"
Alex. c. Frazier, Grinnell, spelled on
note ALEX. G. Fraser" amount $500.
Chas. Eisele, Malcom, spelled on
note Elsie" amount $500.
j. J.. Francis. Malcolm, amount 1928.
s. Mr. Cady, Malcolm, amount 1915.
Yesterday farmers from all parts OF
the county began to appear in town in
response to notices from the receiver
of the First National bank, regarding
notes held against them. AS was to
be expected many and, OF course, the
first to arrive. were those upon whom
iorgeries had. been perpetrated.

Kushequa, Pa, Aug. 1.-(SpeciaD-
In this section OF Pennsylvania there
Is a growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there Is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
tat OF Mrs. M. l.. Dawson OF this
place. Sac tells the story herself as
follows:
Il have suffered from rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine | have ever taken
was also bothered with Lame Back
and l can only say that my back
hasn't bothered me since | took
Dodds Kidney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered won
derful if it were not that others are
reporting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for rheumatism"

TWO BUSSE MURDERS.
North Dakota Crime May Have Bear
inn an Brerer County Case

North Dakota Crime May Have Bear
ing on Bremen County Case.
Des Moines, Aug. 3.-Pardon Clerk
Garrett is engaged in an inquiry into
the Louis Busse case. The decision
Of the supreme court affirming the
death sentence in Busse's case has
been certified to the court by Clerk
Crockett, and an original investiga-
ton has been undertaken to throw as
much light as possible on the whole
miserable business, that the governor
may be fully Informed before he signs
tho death warrant or commutes Bus
SOS sentence to life Imprisonment.
So far, Clerk Garrett has discovered
that a certain Lewis Busse OF Iowa
was charged in North Dakota with the
murder OF man on the train that car
ried them into that state. that he was
guilty Of the crime, but that he pleaded
insanity and was sent to the hospital
at Jamestown, n. d., from which he
was discharged shortly prior to the
appearance OF the Louis Busse now I'M
der sentence Of death in Butler
county.
Mr.. Garrett will undertake to find
out II the two Buses are the same
man. An examination Of the record in
the case tired in Bremen county does
not disclose any reference whatever
to the North Dakota affair. 1t is as
sumed that either the Busse on trial
in Bremen county was not the DakO-
ia man and was known not to have
been, or the state did not know that
a Busse had been charged with the
prior murder outside OF this state.
In some cases. testimony on the point
would not have been admissible.

BIG FIRE LOSS AT ALBION.
Town Was Nearly Wiped Out Of
Existence,

| Marshalltown, Aug. 4-The most de.
structiye fire that has occurred in this
county for years, at midnight Tuesday
night broke out at the Kubuka G Com
pany drug store at Albion, little
; town seven miles northwest Of this
city, and very nearly wiped the little
town out Of existence.
The fire spread rapidly and was
soon beyond control. AS near as can
be learned the conf1agration started on
the outside of shed in the rear of the
drug store, and while no investigation
has been made officially, persistent
rumors are afoat to the effect that the
fire was OF incendiary origin.
The flames spread rapidly to the
buildings north in the same block. and
in very short time about $4,000
worth of property was reduced to
smoldering mass of charred timbers
and ashes.
The buildings, with one exception.
were of frame construction. and that
building was only veneereu, uld al
those facing High street, the principal
street in the town, in the same block,
from street to street and back to the
alley. were completely wiped out. and
had it not been for few large trees
that broke the force of the heat and
flames. and plenty of hard fighting,
! the fire would undoubtedly have
jumped the street and destroyed all
that part of the little town lying north
of the drug store in which the fire or
, iginated.
The buildings Of the Odd Fellows
and Masons, the best in the town,
were among those destroyed. and the
Woodmen Of the World lost their out
fits and all their paraphernalia, which
they had stored In rented hall.
