THE FIRST CRIME.

Below will be found statement
clipped from Bryan's Commonel
of last week which was issued by
Edward j. Lewis of Wheaton, ILL.,,
as he entered the State penitenti.
ary to serve term for forgery.
Before the young mans crimes
were discovered he was prominent
in local society, belonged to sew
eral exclusive clubs and was re-
garded asa rising young man.
After his crookedness was found
out he was a fugitivefrom justice
and travelled in several countries.
He was finally captured and is one
more witness to the fact that "the
way of the transgressor is hard
ltis a good sign that he desires
to make his own sad experience a
warning to others-it shows that
he is anxious to do something to
atone for his misdeeds. What a
vast amount of suffering would be
avoided if all young men would
heed the advice which he gives!
He says:
Arriving in Joliet to serve an
indeterminate sentence for forg-
cry, L feel it my duty to write a
letter and make statement, hop
ing thereby to prevent other young
men from putting themselves in
the same position.
"When l first sold mortgage
for $400.I thought | could easily
repay i'll by a lucky strike or a com
mission on real estate deal.
When | found that I could not do
this and the person owning the
mortgage asked for her money,
then I had to sell another and lar
ger mortgage to make good. AT
terward | thought this was so easy
Icould keep up the crime forever.
"Boys and young men, don't
play poker. Don't start when you
are young sneaking back Of the
barn with other boys and using
corn for poker chips.
"Don't smoke cigarettes.
Don't drink your first glass of
beer or whisky.
"Don't bet on horse races.
"Be sure your sins will find you
out.
"Boys and young men, if you
knew the suffering l have gone
through you would shun crimes,
untruth and deceit as you would
poison.
"If am the means of prevent
ing any one reading this from COM
mitting the first crime, then I am
the happiest convict in Joliet.
''That's the trouble, boys-th the
first crime. 1t leads you on and
on until you willsurely land where
[ am.
"Boys, If you ever have commit
ted a crime confess it to the one
you have wronged and don't do it
again. If you do you will surely
come to my end"

Special to The Journal.
New Ulm, Mimi, Sept 26.-This weeks issue
Of the New Ulm Review will contain long
statement from the pen of County Attorney
Hoidale, giving in detail his part in the prosecu-
ton of the murderer of DR.. L. A. Gebhardt, and
answering some of the criticisms that have been
heaped upon him by citizens of this county
and some of the papers Of the state, in which
1t was charged that he was negligent of his
duty and played into the hands Of the defense.
In the beginning he says that '.the fair and
good name Of this community has been doubly
besmirched and stained by scattering broadcast
charges to the effect that the writer, the board
of county commissioners and to some extent the
sheriff and the coroner, We're engaged In plot
or conspiracy, or We're individually moved by
some common design to conceal facts going to
prove who was guilty of the homicide =
Further explaining the reasons why 1t is
necessary for him to make statement, he con-
tinues: G-,

$40 and was called about an hour later. The

continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physi- cians propose in order to intelligently treat the diseases and this is the req son why so many physicians fail to cure female disease.
 This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corre- spending with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women more wisely than the local physician.
 Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. c. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia. She writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "I can truly say that you have saved my words Before I wrote to you telling you how felt, had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do me any good. had female trouble and would daily have faint ing spells, backache, bearing down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. wrote to you for your ad- vice and received letter full of instructions inst what to do, and also commenced to take Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and have been restored to perfect health. Had it not been for you would have been in my grave today"
 Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound for restoring women's health.
