J. G.. nfSSfL MISSING
Former Resident Of this
City Thought to Have
Been Slain

Minneapolis Journal lS): Police
officials of Minneapolis and st. Paul
are confronted with a mystery that
will take their best efforts to solve.
Convinced that j. G. Hessel of
Brainerd, Mimi, who disappeared
Nov. "a while in St. Paul, is the
victim of foul play, relatives and the
police authorities IN the twin cities
are endeavoring to trace his move
ments in the hope that they may
find some clue that will lead to the
finding of his dead body and the
subsequent conviction OF his slayers.
Mr.. Hessel came to the twin cities
to purchase supplies for the store he
conducts in Brainerd. He carried
with HIM considerable amount of
money and made his headquarters at
the Kendall hotel, St. Paul. 1t was on
Nov. "a, in that hotel. that he was
last seen by anyone with whom he is
acquainted hereabOuts. He had COM
pleted his purchases and was talking
with the proprietor about the time the
trains left for Brainerd. He said
nothing to Indicate any desire other
than the natural one of returning
nome. In fact, he seemed anxious to
catch the first train for Brainerd.
After paying his bill he started
apparently for short stroll, for he left
the hotel and slowly walked down the
street. He left his luggage at the
hotel. He never returned
1t IS feared by those who know
him that he was entlced to some out
of-the way place and slain for the
money-about $500-he is known to
have had on his person. Working on
this theory, the police have been
securing the twin cities, hoping to
find someone who saw man answer
ing his description subsequent to the
time of his disappearance from the
hotel.
Brainerd Dispatch says in part (2):
They were able to trace his where
abouts during the entire day up to
about six o'clock IN the evening.
From that time ON there is no trace
to be found beyond the fact that he
made inquiries as to trains to Omaha
and California While his business
was III good shape Mr.. Hessel has been
in very poor health and 1T is thought
that this may have weighed on his
mind and that he has left the cities
while laboring under mental aberra-
ton anu that he will soon be heard
from.
John G. Hessel, the gentleman above
referred to. was a resident OF Little
Falls abont twenty years ago, and is
we'll known by large number of the
citizens Of this city and Morrison
county.

Pure Food Law Not a Success.


According to an Interpretation of
the pure food and drug law, food and
drugs may be adulterated, if properly
labeled. A provision of the law
reads: provided that no drug de-
fined in the United States Pharmaco-
poeia or National Formulary shalt be
deemed to be adulterated under this
provision if the standard of strength,
quality or purity be plainly stated
upon the bottle, box or other contain
err thereof, although the standard may
differ from that determined by the
test laid down in the United States
Formulary." WHISTLES can be mixed
or blended, if they are so labeled !;
chicory can be mixed with coffee,
when SO labeled; catsup preserved
with benzoic acid must be so labeled;
jellies and jams can be adulterated
with various substances, when truth
fully labeled so as to inform the pur-
chaser the nature of the substance
used to adulterate. 1t is so with all
kinds of prepared food; therefore, in
stead of it being called a pure food
and drug law it should be called a
"pure label law" Correctly labelling
articles of food has no effect on the
digestive organs, and dyspepsia can
not be cured by labels. According to
the press there have been in the
United States since the enforcement
Of the pure food law, s,1s6 cases of
ptomaine poisoning, s0S of which
were fatal. 1t is evident that the pure
food law is far from being a success

has had an annoying experience late

undesirable notoriety. The people IN
the house heard woman's voice cry
ing and begging for mercy from IN
unseen assailant, rapping on the floor
aud walls. A diligent search failed
to reveal anything unusual. A few
neighbors were called in to listen to
the nnearthly sounds. AS the news
of the occurrence noised about, people
| fiocked to the MACPHERSON farm. No
solution Of the mystery could be
found uatil it was noticed that every
time the noises were heard little
girl, who lives at the place was alb
! sent. but would appear after every
thing had become quiet. 1t is the
general superstition in the neighbor-
hood that the child did it out of pure
mischief. Whatever the motive, it
caused tremendous excitement while
it lasted.
