SOME SPECIAL BARGAINS.

ablv teNify as to whether 1 have CIV
en- the people the news.
However, as l have been given cred
it for writing articles regarding your
friend P. o. Knight, / am perfectly
willing TO take the responsibility. l
don't have to do this, however, be-
cause 1 am employed by man who
is able and willing to stand good for
any statements appearing in has pa
per.
Now as for getting sore and at
tempting to injure you and your side
partner, L have no such intentions toI
several good reasons, and II had l
wouldn't use another mans neWspa-
per to vent my spleen.
In the first place, any reflection
either of you attempt to cast upon me
l regard in the light Of a compliment.
In the second place, if l were a
bloodthirsty, gore-seeking individual,
I'd 20 after bigger game than you
two. I wouldn't want to die OF apo
plexy or nervous prostratiOn in the
effort to catch either one Of you.
The only serious trouble I ever got
into was on account Of your paper.
When E. D. Hobbs, who is one OF the
best friends l have in Tampa, attack
ed my friend Lambright something
over a year ago, in spite Of my physl-
cal shortcomings, took Lambright' s
part against a friend who was so
much stronger than l that he didn't
know 1 had struck him several times
until somebody told him so. In the
meantime, what were you doing in be-
half of your city editor? You were
sitting safe and secure in your office,
while was mixing up in serious diff
ficulty with a personal friend.
1 think l can trubhfully state that l
haven't enough of the vind.ctive spirit
in my makeup to willfully try to in
lure YOU or any other human being. II
l had, I'd be much better of financial
" and otherwise.
But as references to me in your
paper indicate that you wish to make
me an issue in this campaign, for
which L care nothing personally, J
will state publicly that if you and P. o.
knight believe l have endeavored to
injure either Of you, instead OF try
ing to boost you whenever possible,
you can hold me personally RESPONSE
BILE, individually or COllectively-at
any time, in any way and anywhere.
AS above stated, 1 have no personal
desire to injure either of you political
" or otherwise. and my greatest in
terest in the present municipal cam
paign lies in the wish that it would
come to an immediate end. However,
when either of you wish to make a
move of any kind on the checkerboard
Just notify me and you won't have
any trouble finding the chessman with
the Huffaker colors on it, I'm no
bluffer and l don't weigh a thousand
tons, even in my own estimation, but
when called upon I'm generally in the
neighbOrhOod.
Hoping, however, that you will ex-
ercise some common sense and fill

seiatiea Cured After Twenty Years
Of Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr., j,
B. Massey, of 1892 Clinton ST., Mime.
apolis, Mimi, was tortured by sciati-
ca. The pain and suffering which he
endured during this time is beyond
comprehension. Nothing gave him
any permanent relief until he used
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One appli-
cation of that liniment relieved the
pain and made sleep and rest possible,
and less than one bottle has effected
a permanent cure. If troubled with
sciatica or rheumatism why not try
a 25-cent bottle of Pain Balm and see
for yourself how quickly it relieves
the pain. For sale by all druggists.

these robes. and the luminous material
with which they are coated for the
trade" This house also supplies all
other stage settings and accessories
needed TO produce well developed "spir-
fits" Of all sizes, ages and conditions.
Arnold and Dickson had thoroughly
established information bureau while
they operated here. Among their dupes,
and possibly their confederates, were
men and women who were in positions
TO supply them with all sorts Of infor-
nation concerning the private and
business affairs OF their dupes. 1t is
known that many business men con-
suited the taking brothers" with re-
gard to investments. From sources
which they possessed for securing in
formation, they were advised as TO
what specific speculations their clients
were interested.
Both Arnold and Dickson possessed
wonderful memories for names and
faces They seldom or never forgot a
name. or face, and could always recall
persons name after seeing him once.
They never made n mistake in address
Ing one by a wrong name. This re-
markable memory enabled them to
gather bits of information concerning
hundreds or persons, which ln1Or1na-
ton they used TO mystify their patrons
Brothers Always Cautious.
1t was noticeable that the first read
ing" Cat 81 was not as satisfactory as
subsequent readings. Another fact
that was noticeable was that one could
never get a reading for the first time
without having made an appointment.
The name was always required when
the appointment was made. This gave
the medium time to secure q line" on
the sitter. At subsequent readings,
Dickson or the housekeeper met the
sitter at the door and took the name to
Arnold, who gave consultations on all
| the affairs of life" Arnold was never
ready TO give a reading as soon as a
patron appeared. unless he had made
/ several readings prior TO that time.
The Herald had prepared on different
occasions during some time past to
make a full exposure of the methods

complexion, with dark hair and eyes
He was said to have possessed hynotiC
powers which he is alleged to have ex-
ercised on his victims.
Dickson a Freak.
James j. Dickson is freak who was
picked up by Arnold. He had some
ability along the lines In which Arnold
designed to use him. He was frail and
effeminite, with a thin. lisping voice.
His light hair and washed-out eyes APP
pealed strongly to few. while his lady
like manners made him disliked by
men.
Dickson played second fiddle" in all
the business of the pair with the ex-
ception OF the fact that he was the
trance medium" who aided in the ma
FERTILIZATION seances.
The pair operated in San Francisco

have been single man, but IL is stated
that he deserted a wife and family of

to work on any of the local papers but
that these men knew who he was be-
fore he had been in harness week,
and were prepared for him IL he made
his appearance at any meeting.
Wide information Utilized.
BY reason of the vast knowledge
these men had OF the identity and bust
ness OF so many people. they were able
TO strike so closely to the truth In an
swering many questions, that their
patrons were surprised, and in a meas
ure convinced OF their ability TO give
real advice on the affairs OF life.
1t is likely that these men kept rec
ords OF their patrons, their lines of
business. personal characteristics, and
the names of their dead relatives and
friends were probably kept In the large
burglar proof safe which the brothers
had I'm their private office.
In the cases where shrewd and OBJ
serving people laid traps to catch the
pair, the mediums" themselves were
frequently deceived and were led into
the error OF making the most improb-
able statements. and to giving radical
INSTRUMENTATION. For example a man
gave fictitious name and asked that
the spirit Of his deceased grandmother
be produced. The spirit was produced.
though the grandmother was alive and
well.
A woman went to the "spook fac
tory a short time ago at the request of
The Herald, and gave fictitious name,
and asked that she be allowed to con-
verse with the spirit of her brother
who, she stated, had been dead for
several years. The spirit OF the dear
departed" was produced at her order.
The spirit was 'materiaIized" with
little difficulty, by the medium, and un-
der her clever questioning was led to
make many grossly inaccurate state
ments. Almost anything that the wo-
man wanted the spirit" to say, II
obligingly said. This was a gallant
ghost, and for fear of displeasing his
fair auditor, would not make any state
ment that would oppose her in her
views.
Brother Didn't Miss His Spirit.
The brother whose spirit" this was
supposed to be, sat at that moment in
his office not a half-mile away busily
engaged i'm the work OF the day. He
was not noticed TO be particularly abb
sentminded during the time of the ma
terialization," and denied that he had
noted the absence of his spirit from
his body during the progress Of the
seance.
This is one example of many similar
experiences that the Arnold-Dickou
brothers have had with The Herald
and its representatives. and shows how
The Herald had prepared itself for the
exposures which were made last week
