Arrivino at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July To- (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
that of Mrs. NJ. l.. Dawson of this
place. She 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 ! can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered wonder
ful If 1t were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for Rheumatism"

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case.
of the Aroostook potato growers.
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how railroad works for the interest
of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, asgregating annually eight to-
ten million bushels, which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition OF cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps.

toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also "a considerable out

and rains brought tremendous yield
OF potatoes from the Michigan fields
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the custom
ary markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every reachable-
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to place so remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. BY means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato.
crops of both Michigan and Maine,
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered
decrease in its revenue from potatoes.
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to-
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought TO them. II the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is well established that if
a rate be once reduced by a railroad
company il cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce-
dure. If the Michigan railroads ana
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot. -ETchcnge.

CHAPTER v.

dr. Carter Breaks the Matter Gently.
In less than two weeks the injunc-
ton was removed from the bank,
which resumed active operations. The
bondsmen paid the sum for which they
were obligated, and matters rapidly
took on their usual aspect.
Mr.. Carter and his partner were do
ing well at the mill, but It could not
be denied that the loss of money and
Vane's detection were hard to bear.
Plying his niece deeply, he could not
bear to add to her grief by telling her
OF the terrible suspicious entertained
now almost universally, and so he sat
generally quite silent at his meals,
spending his remaining time at the
Office, under the plea, correct enough,
OF press of business.
But one day he decided to tell his
niece the whole matter, and so after
tea one evening he sat down in his
arm chair beside her and said, Are
you too busy to talk little to-
night?"
II am always busy, for | find so
much to do, and | want to get every
thing in order before Vane comes.
But / am ready to talk with you, for
you have seemed too tired lately for
conversation. You have really earned
rest. and when Vane comes | am
sure he will insist upon your taking

looking at him with wide eyes and ter

No, no, child, | don't mean that, but

LAS bad! Nothing could be as bad
as to lose my husband, uncle. could
better lose all else besides. | have
thought about 1t a great deal since he
went away, and am convinced that to
lose Vane would kill me-"
"Oh, come, now, Constance,

husbands die every day, and they don't
feel like that; the most of EN- get

band was as we'll off as theirs"

RE was right. II appeared tnat a
trio of INSCRIPTIONS men had In sew
eral instances set up a bank in new
and growing towns and operated sue
cessfully until they had victimized the
moneyed men, when they had closed
up suddenly and decamped. AS the
scenes of their operations were thou
sands of miles apart, and their names
were assumed, they escaped detection,
strange as it may appear. until they
came to Valparaiso. This was early in
the year 1887.
But two men came at first. Their
names were given as Scoville anG
Brown. A private bank was opened
and operations begun, but for some
reason the business men of the little
city were shy of them. Suddenly
new member Joined Scovi!le and
Brown, as joint owner of the hank.
This was in May, as Bruce easi.y dis
covered. He gave his name as Ashley,
and was a genial handsome man who
won his way TO public favor at once,
as the others had not succeeded in
doing. His wife was with him, a
woman with emerald-tinted hair.
Bruce, as I have said, went to Val
paraiso and to the residence of one OF
the principal business men, who had
been deeply victimized by the bogus
bank. For under cover of Ashley's
pleasant fellowship and his wife's
grace and beauty the good people soon
had cause to abuse their own credul
ity. Bruce got the account from Mr.
Hayes himself, who was only too glad
to relate it when it might be of use in
tracking the swindlers.
I'VE fought shy of them at first"
said Mr.. Hayes, but when Ashley
came 1t changed everything. You
never would suspect him of being a
scamp-never. Such an open, honest
couItenance, and that wife OF his was
a little beauty, If her hair was green!"
Was she really his wife, do you
think?"
He introduced her as such, and she
appeared to worship him. They took
a handsome furnished house on Main
street and went to keeping house.
my tSo'C T" biS pal y, dilu we all
went. Such crush! Well, after tha!
ali was plain sailing for the new bank.
You can't mistrust a man after Won
have eaten his bread. We cant here
in the West. Deposits began to poui
in on them. All of the solid men
banked there. Well, the upshot was
in ten days after Ashley came we
found we had been swindled, our notes
sold or deposited in other banks as
collateral security for cash paid to
Scoville, Brown and Ashley, and in at
least a dozen instances the figures had
been altered so that the scamps got
ten times the actual value of the notes.
1t was a gigantic swindle," and Mr..
Hayes got up and paced the apartment
nervously.

"Swiftwater BilI's" Troubles,

William G. Gates. better known as
saltwater Bill" one of the most
noted characters of early Klondike
days, is defending the second divorce
suit brought by his third wife. The
case is being tried in Seattle. Gates
in the early days at Dawson was a
much-talked-of person because of his
marriage and strange courtships. The
wife who is now suing him for divorce
brought suit last April, but the court
refused to grant a decree and no pro-
vision was made for the two children
of the marriage. At the present time
Gates is working some rich claims
and is reported to have again made a
fortune. Mrs. Gates. formerly a dance
hall performer, is the younger of two
sisters whom her husband married.
