A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience, Advises Women In
Regard to Their Health.

Mrs. Martha Pohlman
OF 55 Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who is q
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,
at Philadelphia, and for
Six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital, writes the letter
printed below. She has
the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. It is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes:
u am firmly persuaded,
after eight years of experience
with Lydia E. PinkhaIn's
Vegetable Compound, that it
is the safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
use.

SEVEN COUNTS
AGAINST BANKER
e. E. Snyder, Head of Defunct
Bank of Olin, Iowa, to Re-
turn for Trial.

Special to The Journal.
Anamosa, Iowa, Oct. &c. E. Sny-
der of Barlow, N. D., alleged defaulter,
who failed in the Bank Of Olin, Iowa,
because he tried to pay as high as Z
and per cent interest or. deposits, will
come back soon for trial in the district
court here. His case is being reviewed
by his attorneys preparatory to start
ing the defense by the middle OF the
week. g.
Snyder, according to the charges
against him, has victimized farmers aer
along the Wapsie river out of 5000, GOO.
He moved to Olin from Grinnell, Iowa,
ard it is now said that all he had to
start the bank were an inkstand, a
desk, several pads OF paper and exactly
$500 He advertised in the newspapers
that he would pay higher rate OF IN
terest on deposits than any bank in the
for money deposited with him. 80"
While the state authorities felt GER
tain that this meant utter ruin, there
was no wa yto stop it. Auditor Car
roll ruled that a man could pay any
amount up to the usury rate and mo Of
tense could be charged except that he
was a fool.
The crash came in December, 1904,
when Snyder. with 100000 cash on de-
books, with which to meet his obliga-
tions and closed up the bank, making
an assignment. in, favor Of l.. M. Car
penter, merchant at Olin. The. day
after the bank was closed, 400 farmers
walked the streets of Olir. and vowed
vengeance on Snyder. It was, found
upon examination that he had loaned as
high as. $36 900 on paper that. had little
or no value. 1t was alleged that he had
handled the school funds of the dis
trict in such way as to victimize the
district in the sum of. $4,000 and thus
raise the tax rate of the depositors
who are losers. - . '|@'.. -
Following the immediate exposure of
Snyder there were stories about high
living, robbery, crime and the like, most
of which now seem to be exploded. The
better element at Olin believes that
Snyder actually believed he could. pay
Z per cent on. money and still make
money for his bank. . .,~.. q
with fraudulent banking and embezzle.
ment. He disappeared from Olin last
spring and was gone for several months
turning up finally in St. Louis in May
Later he secured a position at Barlow
n. D., as station agent for the North err
Pacific railway. Out Of the mass of as
sets turned over by HIM in his assign
ment to Carpenter, the receiver has
been able to realize only about $780,,
900, and declare 10 per cent DIVIDEND
to the depositors. Under the Iowa
law Snyder s home was awarded to his
wife, al.l was sold under the hammer
for $4,000. The wife realized SO, ,10C
and the estate $400. :: : -, =. ..
1t is understood here that Snyder has
agreed to plead guilty. to one count il
the indictments, provided he may Sc
cure release from. the other six This
release. the county attorney refuses tc
give. There are, almost 100 witnesses
subpenaed for the trial, which will occu
ply at least a week. Under the lowe
law, Snyder, if found guilty, may bt
sent to the penitentiary for eighteen
years on each Indictment. !. ~ >?
