THEY BOUGHT THE FAKER'S
JEWELRY. -.s is

Between thirty five and forty people
of this county were the victims Of a
clever faker Saturday morning. The
party in question hired hack and
after he had congregated a large num-
Der OF our country cousins on the
corner of Broadway and Kidder streets
northeast, Announcing a free perform
ance, proceeded into his get-rich- quick
shceme, the kind that just about
everybody but them had been made
acquainted with.
The faker was man of good appear
ance, and could talk some, which
doubtless had weight in the arguments
he put forth. He had a lot of cheap
truck, which he passed off as jewelry
to his willing victims. The first lot
Of it, which included cuff buttons,
he sold at fifty cents pair, redeeming
them at one dollar pair This
served as usual, to stimulate the get
rlch-quick fever, and farmers bought
anything that was offered them by the
man, paying one dollar for each article
purchased, doubtless under the impress
sion that he would redeem the articles
at an advanced price again Instead
of this the faker kindly thanked his
many patrons, and was driven off
shortly after to catch his train. It
takes some people long time to differ
entiate between good goods and cheap
truck, the home merchants and takers.
They'll learn.

Good Advice Given Still
water Business
Men

How to secure new industries was
the theme of Elmer S. Patterson, of
Chicago, at the concluding series of
Booster club conferences, says the St,
Paul Dispatch. The possibility of
Saltwater gaining new ones the speak
or regarded as good. He spoke Of the
great growth Of Industries in the West
and the dlminution in the percentage
of them in the East, showing by sta
tistics that the center of population Of
factories is now west of Chicago
That Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois,
and Indiana are great manufacturing
states.
The tendency IS for factories to To-
cate in smaller places and not in the
larger cities. Mr.. Patterson said. He
cautioned the club against jumping at
offers of factories, and said that exper-
fence has shown that about per cent
Of the industries seeking a location are
worthy and that the other percentage
are no good and usual schemes of pro-
meters. He spoke of one town having
an offer of 500 new factories and &C
copied but 10 of them. A commercial
club secretary in canvassing the new
industry situation must be an optim1st
and possessed of much patience in
making Investigations.
Various methods were suggested for
finding new factories Advertising
would bring offers but they needed
sitting. A good plan suggested was
to keep informed through a press clip
ping bureau of fires and other things
that wipe out factories, included in
the list being dissolution of firms.

Warden Go1fer told Colo his ffnSi
friends ia Minnesota once believed IL
was q brave man, and that after being
granted q pardon, he would prove thai
by his mode Of life. But now Warden
Wolfer had all the evidence he wanted
to Justify the belief he was nothing
but q coward.
Wolfer wrote further, that if Cole
Younger ever again showed his face in
Minnesota there would be no first
debating in the courts whether the
warden had the right to lock him up
the warden would at once seize him
and place him behind the bars.
The letter was written by Wolfe1
some time ago, and Cole hasn't yet
had nerve to answer it.
It is said to be the old bank robber' s
desire to have the conditions of his
pardon removed so he can tour through
the north with his Cole Younger Cir
Gus. One of his agreements for his
PARDON was that he would never exhi-
bit himself in public way, never en-
ter the show business and especially
attach himself to any circus.
