ACCEPTS ADVERTISEMENT
IMITATION OF SCRIP
Neqress Takes Worthless Paper il
Change-Asks for Warrant When
She Finds 1t Is Stage
Money

A piece of blue paper printed in imtta-
ton of the recent issues of scrip and usei
for advertising purposes was the means
of defrauding Katherine Clarke, a negress
Of So of hard earned money yesterday
The worthless strip was signed by w
e. Hutchinson and G.. III. Parker, pro-
prietors of Main street saloon.
The woman appeared before Prosecuting
Attorney Joseph Ford and asked for a
complaint against an employe of the Bis
bee -Fishburn company, asking for a
search warrant
According to Mrs. Clarkes story she
rendered large bill yesterday to F. j.
Streater, clerk for the Bisee company
and received in change, together with
some small pieces of money, piece OF
blue paper which resembled scrip. Later
The rendered the paper in payment OF a
bill and it was refused.
The woman told Ford she could moi
read and took the paper without question
Ford made an investigation, which proved
the Bisbee company had given the woman
scrip, and as the woman had several other
rieces of scrip in her purse 1t is believed
she received the paper elsewhere. The
memory of the woman seemed to be al
fault. 1t would be difficult, the official
said, to trace the paper.
For this reason no complaint could be
issued. Officials of the prosecuting attor-
ney's Office say number of firms arc
Using blue paper containing advertise
rnents which, at a glance. resembles the
scrip issued by the Clearing House asso-
citation. While there is no law to prevent
this sort of advertising, the officials are
doing what they can to discourage it, as
it's use gives an opening to unscrupulols
persons to pass the paper on those to
whom the scrip is new.

GRAVEL WAGON PASSES
OVER HEAD; MAN UNHURT
Pacific Electric EmpIoye Falls Under
Wheels of Three-Ton Vehicle,
Then Jumps UP and
Walks Off

Merced Alvarez, a laborer employed by
the Pacific Electric company and living
in a. grading camp at Griffin avenue and
Avenue 40, fell from wagon loaded with
gravel carrying trailer, also loaded, al
Griffin avenue and Avenue 4S last night
and the rear wheel of the second We
hicle passed over his body, literally driv'
ing his head into the paving of the road
way.
Horrifed. the companions of the man
ran to his assistance, expecting to find
his body crushed to lifeless pulp. In
stead Alvarez got up and with little
assistance recovered himself walked to
a car, and went to the receiving hospital.
1t was found that his only injuries were
two lacerations of the back, a number
of bruises and a rupture of several of the
blood vessels of the neck.
DR.. E. H. Wiley stated that none but
an iron man could have withstood the
shock of the accident and the crushing

MAGMA7E, ON VISIT
is BAckER OF NEW LINE TO
SALT LAKE
Proprietor Of Colorado Newspaper and
Part Owner of SeIIs-Floto Cir
Gus at the LankershIm
Hotel

F. q. Bonf1ls, proprietor of the Denver
Post, is at the Lankershim hotel, where
he will remain for two or three weeks.
Among the many business interests Of
Mr.. Bonfls are the Sells-Floto shows,
now wintering at Venice, and the First
National bank of Kansas City.
In speaking of the bank Mr.. Bonfils
said: 1--WE anticipated the present finan-
cial condition a year ago and made prep
arations for 1t. When the furry came
the bank had deposits of $25,OOO,0OO, and
of this amount we had on hand $15,OOO,OOO
In cash and the balance was Immediately
available. We have been paying cash
all of the time and expect to be able to
Continue to do So"
The Sells-Floto shows winter each year
at Venice, as 1t has been found that II
is less expensive to pay railroad charges
to the coast than to maintain proper
temperature in the animals quarters
when they are kept in the east.
The Moffat railway, between Salt Lake
and Denver, is another project In which
the capitalist Is interested. The con-
struction of the road Is attracting atten-
ton on account of the extensive tunneling
necessary. One tunnel, six miles in
length, when completed will hold the
record for length in the United States.
1t will take three years to finish 1t. In
one place the tracks will be 1000 feet
beneath the surface of the ground
The railway will cut off 200 miles be-
tween Salt Lake and Denver and VIII
effect saving of twelve hours in the run.
Mr.. Bonfils is also constructing $S5O,OOO
skyscraper in Denver.
This is the second trip of Mr.. Bonfls
to Los Angeles, and he is strong In his
praise of the city and thinks the activity
in building and other lines remarkable

SAVES HER VISITING CARDS.
One Woman's Pet Economy Certainly
Queer One.

Women are proverbially niggardly
on one or two points; every woman
that ever existed had some pet econo-
my. no matter how extravagant she
may be in some respects. There's
the woman who spends hundreds of
dollars on imported gowns, but hates
to give up one penny for paper of
pins. The paper-saving person who
drops into department stores and no.
tells to borrow stationery rather than
spend any money upon the commodity
always is with us; we all know the
stamp stealer and the match borrow
er; but the visiting-card economizer
is a new brand of woman who exists
only in the most exclusive society.
So niggardly is she on the point of
her visiting cards that she demands
them back from her intimate friends;
from her mere acquaintance she
steals them at an opportune moment
when the servants back is turned. or
when the mistress has left the room
She puts them slyly back into her
card case By clever series of ma
nipulations it is said she can make
loo OF them go as far as 500 went be-
fore.

A SIMPLE FORMULA
PRESCRIPTION OF AN EMINENT
SPECIALIST is GIVEN.
Necessary Ingredients Cost Little
and Can Be Secured at Any Good
Drug Store-WilI Break
Cold Quickly.

Mix half ounce of the Pure Virgin
Oil of Pine with two ounces of glycer-
inc and half pint of good whisky;
shake well and use in teaspoonful
doses. A noted authority on diseases
of the throat and lungs who estab-
lished a camp for consumptives in the

the above formula will heal the lungs
and cure any cough that is durable.
1t will break up cold in twenty-four
hours. The ingredients can be Sc

Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in half-ounce walls for dispen-
sing; each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case with engraved
wrapper. showing the name-virgin

Leach Chemical Co., Cincinnati, O.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations Of Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), which are put out
under various names, such as Concen-
trated Oil of Pine. Pine Balsam. etc.
Never accept these as substitute for
the Pure Virgin Oil of Pine, as they
will invariably produce nausea and
never effect the desired result.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is also
said to be a perfect neutralizing agent
for uric acid.

NOT DOOMED TO sEcLUsIoN.
Austrian Nuns of Noble Blood Lead
Pleasant Lives.

The first lady" in the Austro-Hun-
garian court is now the abbess of the
Theresian Convent of the Noble La
dies in Prague, a position which is
always held by an archduchess. The
Archduchess Maria Annunciata. the
present abbess. who is a niece Of the
emperor, has succeeded to the position
of first lady through the widowhood
of the Archduchess Maria Josefa, wife
of the late Archduke Otto. The noble
nuns of Prague live very different
life from what is the usual conception
of convent life. They play leading
part in the society of the city and are
not even compelled to live in the alb
hey, where each is provided with two
rooms and service. Handsome car
riages with liveried servants are also
provided for their use. and they have
a box in the opera. Each noble lady
is paid $500 a year, while the abbess
has salary of 10000. When they
attend court balls they must wear
black evening dress with a ribbon Of
light blue.
