The Young Physician,
WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early sixties it was usually the
duty OF q practicing physician to ride
many. miles every day on his regular
round OF visits upon his patients. In
those days q Young man who had received
a splendid medical training in one of the
best medical colleges Of that day was ac-
cuStomcd to ride ZEN. twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting the sick and
afflicted. His success was soon phenom-
email. Doctors and families called him for
consultation to towns at considerable dis
tanccs by rail. One of his specialtics vas
the cure of those distressing diseases of
women. He had early discovered that
by combining the vegetable extract of
the following medicinal plants in just the
right proportion without the use of alco-
hol-his prescription invariably cu,ytl
such cases. Later. in order to place this
remedy before the public ia 4 shape easily

qualified chemists were pnt in charge to
accurately prepare his prescription and
put it in shape for shipment to all parts
of the United States. This remedy. which

tell me about the rags. We sat we'll

anywhere. He began to wriggle about

The Mean Godfather.

Congressman Morrell, of Philadel.
phia, in a discussion of the Delaware
river appropriations, mentioned a
mean man.
There are many mean men," he
said, "but this man surely vas the
meanest of them all. Besides being
mean he was also rich.
ITO a poor young couple living near
him a son vas born and they decided
to name their son after the mean man,
and to ask him to stand as its god
father.
"He consented. He was fiattered.
'"Thereupon the JOY of this poor
young couple was great. They won

would give to his little godson. Per-

worlds fair to be held west of the
Rocky Mountains which has secured
the aid Of the government.
And ittis also surprising what an in

by the people of the East. They see
in the exposition an opportunity to visit
the Western country at a greatly re-
duced expenditure of money, and not
only see the Exposition itself, but view
the wonders of our Western scenery,
and witness the great of the
Northwest and the opportunities af-
forded. The Great Northern Railway

and it augurs we'll for a big travel
through the Northwest this year.

Milwaukee. WIS.,. April 25.-Frank
@. Bigelow, president Of the First Ma
final bank of Milwaukee, was arrested
Monday charged with the embezzle-
ment OF over 100000 Of the banks
funds.
The arrest Of Mr.. Bigelow followed
his confession to the board OF direct
ors OF the bank that he was defaulter
to the extent Of S1.450.000. Following
Mr.. Bigelow's confession, he was re-
moved from the presidency Of the bank
and the facts in the case we're laid be-
fore the federal authorities.
The complaint was sworn to by U.
s. District Attorney H. X. Butterfield.
II charges that Bigelow, as president
of the First National bank, embez-
zled a sum exceeding 100000. A COM
plant and warrant identical with those
in Bigelow's case were made out to
Henry G. Coll, assistant cashier Of the
bank but Coll could not be found up
to seven o'clock Monday night.
President Bigelow was taken be-
fore United States Court Commissioner
Bloodgood Monday night. He waived
q hearing and was held 90 the federal
grand jury under $4,000 bond. DR..
Horace NJ. Brown and Arthur N. Nc
Geoch certified as sureties and Mr..
Bigelow was released. The next fed
eral grand jury has not been summoned
but 1t is expected It will meet some
time next month.
The confession Of President Bigelow
astounded the directors Of the bank.
Mr.. Blgelow had been recognized as
one of the formost flnanciers of the
northwest. He had been associated
with the First National bank in var
ious capacities for more than Is years
and his business connections-trust
companies, manufacturing concerns,
real estate deals and other similar
ventures-number scores. He was
honored year ago by election to the
presidency of the American Bankers
Association and by its members was
looked upon as leader in financial
matters.
In making his statement to the d.
rectors OF the bank Mr.. Bigelow said
he had become ivolved in speculation
several months ago. This was on Wall
street. More recently he had been a
persistant bull in the wheat market
and recent loss there had added to
heavy reverses on Wall street. From
small manipulations of the banks funds
he had extended the defalcations until
his shortage had reached the present
stage. He saw no opportunity or pos
sibility Of making up the amount and
therefore confessed.

VIII Not Watch Darda nelIes.

London, April 21.-The Associated
press was informed at the admiralty
that the statement that the British
Mediterranean feet was taking steps
to watch the Dardanelles is untrue.
The movements of the British ships
are simply in pursuance of the ordi-
nary arrangements for the fleet The
admiralty adds that there is no reason
whatever why the British should
watch the Dardanelles. The story
was started on top of continental
report that the Russians were prepar-
ing to send out their Black Sea feet.
