Requisition Against Millionaire
LumbeTman Withdrawn.
WAS CHARGED WITH BIGAMY
Governor Johnson Agrees to Mo-
ton of Attorneys.

M. w. Mcdonald, the millionaire
Minneapolis lumberman who has been
imprisoned in the Hennepin county
Jail because of a charge of bigamy
made against him by a Missouri wo-
man, was released on the motion of
his attorneys after Governor John A.
Johnson had received word that the
requisition from Governor Hadley of
Missouri had been withdrawn.
Belle Hamilton accused Mcdonald
Of having married her in Canada in
1905 and brought suit against him in
Minneapolis last fall. When the suit
was settled out of court last Deem
Der and Mcdonald turned over to her
mineral holdings said to be valued at
$4,000 and considerable cash it was
supposed that the case was over. But
a few days ago Mcdonald was arrest

governor of Missouri.
F. E. Fryberger of Duluth, Mr. Nc.

Down.

Father Of Kidnapped Boy Breaking
Down.
Sharon, Pa, March 2O.-Sobbing
and crying James P. Whitla, the
father of the kidnapped boy, broke
down when no word had been re
eeived from the abductors and in
statement said he wanted to impress
on every person interested in the re
coyery of the boy that all he wanted
was to see his child safe back home.
He said he was ready to pay the
$4,000 ransom at any time and had
authorized agents ready to pay over
the money
The clue from Cleveland for a time
buoyed Mr. Whitla and his wife up,
but when that was dissipated their
hopes were crushed.
Although every clue is being run
down nothing has developed to- give
the searchers the slightest ray of hope
and their work on the case is no fur
Their advanced than when they first
began.
1t is reported that a mounted squad
of Pennsylvania state constabulary,
numbering tWenty-three men, will be-
gin a thorough search covering the
territory between this city and Buff
falo, N. Y. Important developments
are expected to occur in the East,
probably Buffalo, but the reason for
this location is not given out.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will faint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery

1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-ab solutely

ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, screfulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.

Of published article, on which hangs
an interesting coincidence:

Of most public characters it is possible
to take summary view which shall be
fairly comprehensive and impartial. This
is literally impossible in the case of Mr..
Gladstone for these reasons: His unexam-
pied multifariousness demands considera-
ton in detail if just estimate is de-
sired. His unique mentality must be I'M

these together utterly fail to portray the

them as influenced by the mighty up

marked the Victorian era, of which for
nearly two generations he was the most

Gladstone is to be trusted, whatever his

carefully pulled the bell till he heard
1t ring, then stalked away, happy in
thinking he had performed an act of
mercy.
His friend and secretary, Sir Ed
ward Hamilton, tells how the liberated
gladiator would indulge his gluttony
for reading when at Hawarden He
read everything slowly and never skip
ped line. He had a system Of mar
gtnal marks that fixed values in his
mind which came near to being ON
niscient. This and his native facility
in mastering details account for the
national enthusiasm over his annual
budgets when chancellor of the ex-
chequer. For five hours at stretch
he used to make the endless tables of
statistics as charming to hear as
love story. Gladstone, like his foeman
the Earl of Derby, was lover of
Homer and wrote much about the
Homeric poems, but he has not beer
accepted as an authority. Homer" he
used to say, 'was poetry making, reIi.
gion making and nation making all
combined" Next to the Bible, he con-
sidered them ''the greatest works ever
composed" Homer, Dante and Shake
speare were the greatest of all poets.
Theological study, says Hamilton,
was still greater attraction to him,
Bishop Butler being his favorite church
writer. He held Scott's bride Of
LammermOor" and "Kenilworth', to
be works Of such genius that no other
man than Aeschylus could have WRIT
ten the first and only Shakespeare the
second. The recreations of Gladstone
We're few and simple, excepting his
tree telling exploits, which were turn

his hewing down venerable institu-
tons. Cards he detested from his hor-
ror of their gambling tendency. He
enjoyed the theater, loved music, used
to be good singer and yiolinist and
was always ready for a game Of old
fashioned backgammon. His piety
was innate and strongly impressed all
who knew him intimately.
