$4,000 SWiNDLE
Girls and Men Lured to Invest by
millionaire" and Steepiejack.

Minneapolis, Jan. S.-Accused of
swindling Minneapolis working girls
and laboring men out of their saw
ings, amounting to $40, ZOO, by selling
mining stock alleged to be worthless,
Charles Broberg, who posed as a
millionaire, and his associate, John
Barbrick, were arrested in New York
city.
Broberg formerly occupied offices
in the New York Life building and
represented himself as an agent of
the California-Nevada Channel Gold
Mining company. He began selling
stock early in November, according
to the complaints, and left the city
about Dec. /. The mining company
in which working girls and laboring
men think they hold the stock was
sold outright last July to larger
company for $500 in cash. This price
included the machinery, office sup
plies and all property owned by the
company.

Burke will be renominated by the
Democrats of North Dakota for the

ton will have no opposition from
Democratic sources. Whether J. B.
Sharpe, the stalwart candidate from
Kulmor, or Treadwill Twichell, the
Fargo man selected by the insurgents,
receives the nomination. for governor
at the June primaries, matters little,
according to the Democratic leaders.
They assert that Burke has made good
and will be reelected by the inde-
pendent voters of the state. While
Gov. Burke has made no public an
nouncement of his candidacy for re-
election his friends state that he will
consent to make the race.

Senate GIVEN
CURRENCY BILL
ALDRICH PRESENTS THE MEAS
URE AND INVITES AMEND
MENTS.
1t Provides for Additional Issue of
Bank Circulation not to Exceed
100000 on Bonds Other
than National.

Washington, Jan. S.-Senator AL
drich Tuesday introduced in the Sem
ate the currency bill which for some
Tune has been under consideration by
Republican members of the senate
committee on finance. At his re-
quest the bill was read in the senate
and careful attention was given the
reading.
The bill provides for an additional
issue of bank circulation which shall
at no time exceed $3.50, 900, oc0, upon
bonds other than those issued by the
government, including state and mu-
nicipal bonds in approved cases.
The controller of the currency is
given discretion in the issuance OF
the proposed currency and is author
lied to decide as to the time and the
amount to be awarded to any bank
ing institution. 1t is provided that
the increased circulation shall in no
case exceed ~ per cent of the value
of the bonds deposited.
II have asked that the bill be
read" said Mr.. Aldrich after the
oAASo AiH& OOOh Will 1CUCO, III Or
der that the senate may at once be
informed of its provisions. I have
been authorized by the committee
on finance to say that the committee
will receive and given careful con-
sideration to bills sent to it, having
the same purposes in view that are
sought in the bill that has been read.
And have to request senators who
have such bills to present them at as
early day as possible"
Senator Alarich has been in con-
ference with so many of the senate
leaders that his bill has not come to
them as a surprise.
1t is expected that there will be
Democratic criticism of the Aldrich
bill and the Republicans declare that
they are ready to accept any reason
able amendment from that side that
may result in making the bill as near
ly non-partisan as possible.

CATARRH MADE LIFE
A BURDEN TO NE.

MISS ANNIE CATRoN, sa7 Main
AVA St., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
AS have found Peruna a blessing
for severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which suffered from for a
number of years, 1 am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
"Catarrh, such as 1 suffered from,
made life burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my
head stopped up SO that was usually
troubled with a headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. I was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me.
However, did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was q
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged l kept on until 1 was com.
pfefeIy cured in a months time, and I
find that my general health is also ex-
cellent."

should try Peruna tablets. Each tablet

MEYER AIDS PROHIBITION
MAIL CARRYING CONTRACTORS
NOT TO TRANSPORT LIQUORS.
Order Will Take Effect in Southern
States July I and in Many
Sections at Once.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Postmaster
General Meyer has issued an order
which has direct bearing upon the
prohibition movement. The order is
as follows:
'It is hereby ordered that it shall
be condition of any contract here
after entered into for carrying the
mails upon star, screen wagon, mes
senger or special service route, that
the contractor carrier shall not trans
port intoxicating liquor from one point
to another upon such route while in
the performance of mail service"
The bids for star route service in
what is known as the second section,
comprising North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee and Ken
lucky, will be opened Wednesday and
as consequence beginning on July
next every contractor in the states
mentioned will be prohibited from
carrying intoxicating liquors on his
route.
The order will become effective at
once, however, in many sections of the
country where it is necessary to in
stall new and supplementary service.
1t is believed that this order will have
a far-reaching effect and will meet
the approval of a large number of peo-

To older graduates of American col
leges, and to most adults who have
not been to college, the solemnity of
the undergraduate youngster is naive
ly funny. One college paper, in such
bitter style as might be appropriate to
some mighty moral or political ISSUE
chastises the entire undergraduate
body for not turning out to cheer the
football team at practice. All other
practice, say at penmanship or the
piano, can be carried on by the prac-
TIGERS with the requisite tools. Foot
ball, apparently, cannot be learned ex-
cept In presence Of mob. Another
college paper gravely protests against
the freshmen's increasing habit Of
walking on the prohibited side of
certain street, and declares college
customs to a sacred tradition, to be
reverently observed by each young
batch OF collegians.

The attempt of the Methodist
church to make $1,000 the minimum
salary which any of it's ministers
shah receive may be followed by sim
liar action on the part of the Congre-
gationalists. The Rev. DR.. George A.
Gordon of Boston, in commenting on
the matter recently, called attention to
something which is frequently forgot
ten, namely, that conditions of life
have changed, until now, instead Of
churches somewhere nearly equal in
financial resources, there are some
very rich and powerful churches, and
some very poor and weak; and what
is headed is general sustentation
fund which shall put the poorer
churches more nearly on a part with
the richer ones. DR.. Gordon says,
probably with Justice, that it is fast
becoming an impossibility to get self
respecting young men, even among
those who follow an ideal, to work for
such small salaries as many churches
pay, and therefore the churches suffer
from the lack of the kind of preachers
most needed.

THAW'S SISTER ASKS
Divorce FROM earl
ON EVE OF NEW YORK TRIAL,
PROCEEDINGS ARE. BEGUN
IN LONDON.
Notoriety Gained by Countess Of Var
mouth and Husband in Connection
with Gotham Case Said to Be Rea-
son for Notification of Marriage.

London, Jan. 4.-The countess OF
of Pittsburg, has begun proceedings
for the notification of her marriage
with the earl of Yarmouth. The
countess of Yarmouth is a sister OF
Harry X. Thaw The Yarmouth case
is entered in the defended list for
trial at the coming sittings of the di,
vorce court. It will be heard in
camera.
1t is said here that the estrange-
ment results from two causes. The
first cause is said to be the action of
the earl Of Yarmouth during the first
trial of Harry K. Thaw, a half-brother
of the countess, who is to be tried on
Monday for the second time for the
murder of Stanford White at New
York.
Yarmouth Went to Egypt.
1t is said when the trial was about
to begin Yarmouth went to Egypt and
lived in seclusion in the select colony
of English folk who reside there dur
ing the winter months. The second
cause is said to be the action of the
Thaw family in determining upon an
insanity plea for Harry Thaw. Var
mouth is declared to have objected to
insanity figuring in the New York
Thaw trial, ON the ground that it
would have a direct influence on the
succession of the Yarmouth estate in
the event there was an issue from the
marriage. 1t is also said the earls
parents used every influence to pre-
vent the institution of proceedings to
mullify the marriage.
Married in Pittsburg.
Alice Cornelia Thaw, daughter of
the late William Thaw of Pittsburg,
was married to George Francis Alex
ander Seymour, earl of Yarmouth, in
Pittsburg, on April 27, 1908. The mar
riage followed a rather brief court
ship and put stop to the earls stage
career, which had begun in private So
ciety theatricals at Newport, and had
later been more or less successful in
a professional way. Yarmouth was
starred in light comedy by a New
York manager, his title being thinly
yelled in the programmes and an

Favorite with Harry Thaw.
Lady Yarmouth has always been
the favorite of the family with her
brother, Harry Kendall Thaw, whose
second trial for the killing of Stan
ford White will begin before Judge
of the supreme court of New
York. She went to America from
England, where she made her home
since her marriage, and was present
during the entire three months of the
first trial of her brother, which re-
suited in a disagreement of the jury
1t had been given out that Lady Var
mouth would not be present at the
second trial out of Difference to the
wishes of her husband and other mem
bers of his family 1t was said that
the earl strongly objected to the no.
.oriety and prominence of the Var
mouth name in connection with the
1rst proceedings.

Brown then fired two bullets into
Johnson's body, and tried to commit
suicide, firing three shots into his own
head. None of them will prove fatal,
however, and Johnson will also re-
cover from his wounds. Brown, who
had not lived with his wife for two
years, ACQUIRED Johnson of breaking up
his home.
Easton, Pa, Jan. Crank Smith,
son of City Comptroller Chester Smith,
murdered his wife Sunday and then
