Indicted for Fraud.
Sears, Rocbuck 8 Co. Charged With Fraud
ulcni Use OF Mails.

Sears, Roebuck & Co, the Chi
cago mail order house, must stand
trial in the federal court at Des
Moines, says the Le0atr of that
city, on charges of using the United
States mails to defraud. An in
dictment containing three counts
was returned against the firm by
the federal grand jury. The pen.
atty upon conviction will be fine
Of $500 on each count.
The indictment is based on three
cases in which it is alleged the conf
pany misrepresented articles listed
for sale in its catalogues, which
were sert through the mails. Be
sides the catalogues, it is claimed
that the concern used letters, circu-
lars, pamphlets, order blanks and
letter heads to deceive and defraud
its customers.
The first count charges that on
June 18th the company devised
scheme to obtain money by false
pretenses from DR.. c. F. Spring,
23I Utica building, Des Moines.
On that date letter was mailed to
him in which the following state
ments were made:
"All Our paints contain white
lead made in our own great paint
factory under the supervision of the
finest paint experts. They have
given universal satisfaction, and we
are able to place over them our
most liberal guarantee, which you
are doubtless familiar with"
AS a matter of fact, so the in
dictment sets out, Sears, Roebuck
& Co. did not manufacture paint in
its own factory. Its paint was not
of the highest grade and was not
equal to any ready mixed paint on
the market, regardless of price, a.
advertised in its catalogue. Fur
thermore, the paint did not contain
white lead, 50 the indictment
charges.
r. II. Miles, rural route No I,
Des Moines, is the victim named
III the other two counts of the in.
dictment. On May IS Mr.. Miles
ordered a ring advertised in the
Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalogue tC
contain four pearls and four sap
phires. The ring that he received
did not contain either pearls or sap,
phires and was materially inferior
in quality to the ones described il
the catalogue.
/ On May 6 Mr.. Miles ordered all,
other ring advertised to con,ain
twelve pearls and two rubies. The
ring he received contained neithel
pearls or rubies. Both the Cata
iogues and the rings were sem
through the mails, making the al
legged misrepresentation a violation
of the federal statutes regarding
the use of the mails.

AL for Parcels Post
Excep, Express Companies Who Do Not
agree With Demand.

The State Grangers, in express
ing themselves in demand of a par
GELS post, have lots of company, for
almost every one, with the excep-
tion of the express companies, is in
agreement with that demand, says
the Lock Haven Express. 1t is alb
surd that this boastful country, al
most alone among civilized nations,
has not extended the functions of
it's postoffice to the carriage of size
able parcels and permits the people
to be mulcted for about five prices
whenever they wish to forward a
package with dispatch.

There is no use Fighting Nature.

DR.. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
does nothing of that kind. 1t acts
tenderly and in sympathy with
what Nature is trying to accom-
pli,h. Do you have trouble with
your digestion, your liver or kid
neys ? Does rheumatism pain and
rack you? Is your head thick and
heavy? 1t will charm away these
ailments almost ere you are aware.

Prohibition and Local Option.

lust now you hear considerable
about local option and mauy look
at the matter in va,lous ways. A
local option law is sure to put all
saloons out oil business; i'll fact, it is
sure that many would continue in
business and legally, at that. Local
option is not prohibition but is just
what the term implies. 1t makes it
optional with each locality whether
liquor should be sold or not, the
matter to be decided by vote OF the
regularly qualified voters. The
majority in sonit precincts will be
In favor OF continuing licenses, in
others against it, To many minds
the idea of local option and prohi-
bition are practically the same.

The relief committee appointed
after the fire met yesterday after
noon for the purpose OF closing Up

been many requests for aid ~ e5hers

inasmuch as the money had been do
mated to the fire sufferers, the com
mittee felt that they should enufne
the donations to these, particularly to
those who were destitute.
There is no doubt that the fire. left
some who were fairly well fixed before
the fire in pretty hard circumstances.
but to give to one the cominit.ee felt
they should have to give To all and

out and had no lnsa-.lace Soi.H be
impossible. Hence the commiIfee has
confined donations to those whe need
ed immediate help. A few we're out
of work and several widows were
burnt out All of these were assist
ed. Several passes were secured for
those who wished - return - -hs ir
former homes.
The secretary was requested TO Ie-
turn go per cent of the amounts 10 all
those who donated, and to collect 40
per cent of the unpaid amounts others
had donated. The secretary wss fur
nished with list Of all those wfo
gave, except in one or two cages
where a dollar in cash had been
given. Those who 10 not receive a
check. by calling on the secretary and
stating to whom they gave, will re
ceive a check for so per cent OF the
amount they donated. Checks will
be issued not later than the first part
OF the week.
There We're many suggestio Is IS to
the disposal of the funds, a5 there
are several deserving cases in Rishee,
also several worthy societies, but as
the people had donated for the fire
sufferers. and there not being enough
to reimburse those who had lost their
furniture, which would take thou
sands of dollars, the committee de-
cided to refund so per cent to those
who subscribed, and IL they wish to
return the same to some other worthy
cause it viii possibly DO given TO an
association that may soon be organ
lied here in Bisbee, known as the
Associated Charities. The secretary
was requested to write the as6ocia-
to starting an association here in Bis
bee. The committee have done what
they think best in handling the funds
that were so literally donated, and
hope the same will be approved.

1T is surprising how the country

They will dig for water, which is quite

In addition, number of families
have settled in San Simon valley, the
majority of them coming from Texas,
