Tuesday morning to learn that Ser

clerk, was said to have caught No.

of desertion and embezzlement.
Harvey has always seemed to be

his daily life at the post and those
who we're on the most intimate terms
with him we're loath to believe the
stories which they heard.

Interesting CAREER
OF CLEVER SWINDLER
MAN WHO WORKED GAME IN BIS.
MARck WAS OLD HAND At
LAWBREAklNG.
Fitrni Pierrepont, Alias Ed. Clements,
Will be Sent East From Los An
qeies for Trial.

Pasadena newspapers recently con-
tanned an account Of the arrest and
something of the brilliant criminal ca
reer of o. Florni Pierrepont of Gin
cinnati, who was arrested for forging
checks on the James River bank of
Jamestown, N. d., and other banks.
The prisoner, whose picture is given
in the Los Angeles Times, is a young
man and dressed in fashionable attire
with a sweater vest. He was taken to
the city Jail in Los Angeles and will
be sent east for trial. According to
the Times account, Pierrepont passed
bogus checks on the Alexandria hotel,
the Long Piano Co. and the w. B.
Alien Piano Co., and also ran up bill
of $87 at the Raymond hotel. Florni
is a man OF other accomplishments,
besides writing fictitious names on
checks. He is alleged to have eloped
18th the wife of a Canadian lumber
magnate, and that the trip was fin
anced with bogus checks. His affinity
is confined in Sisters hospital near
Los Angeles, where she is said to be
corvalescing from serious operation.
Pierrepont's father is said to be shoe
manufacturer of Cincinnati. The hus-
band of the woman who eloped with
the forger is said to have expressed
willingness to stand the entire ex-
pense of the prosecution. He is said
to have large lumber holdings near
Winnipeg and to keep up home in
Minneapolis. The husband employed
detectives to trace the pair through
the northwest and with the aid of de-
tectives finally landed the man in
Pasadena.
Pierrepont, under the name of Ed.
Clements, was the man who defrauded
Knowles & Haney of Bismarck with
one of his worthless checks.

Monday, which was pay day, he col!
lected about $3.50 for the liverymen
and considerable amount, some.
where between 5000 and $500 for the
jewelry firm. This money has not
yet been accounted for and unless he
returns and has a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION to make, he will have to
face a charge Of embezzlement in
case he is captured.
Sergeant Harvey was absent on a
pass which was good until reveille
Tuesday morning, and from that
time on he was absent without leave.
In case he returns within ten days
he may not face charges of deser-
ton The authorities OF the county
were notified and it was said that
Sheriff Barnes had wired the police
CT Minneapolis to be on the lookout
for him.
AS the boys of the company whom
he collected the jewelry money from
have no receipts to show that they
paid him any money, they are anX-
io':s for his return, as the firm may
still hold them liable for the amount
not sent to it, by it's collector

Souvenir OF STATE
U. c. r. is PREPARING SOUVENIR
BOOKLET OF THE STATE
FOR DISTRIBUTION.
Grand Chaplain c. II. Dixon and Pho
tographer J. w. Dewey Arrive in
the Capital City Tuesday.

Grand Chaplain Charles Fl. Dixon
of this jurisdiction OF the U. c. IT,,
was an arrival in the city from Valley
City Tuesday afternoon accompanied
by J. w. Dewey, photographer.
The two gentlemen are making the
trip through the state in the inter

kota which the members of the U. C.
T., are preparing for distribution at
the grand lodge meeting of the U.
C. t., which will be held at Fargo on
June 8, 9 and 10.
The jurisdiction of which the state
is part comprises North Dakota,
South Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba,
Alberta and Saskatchewan. The
North Dakota lodges decided that a
souvenir booklet of the state would
be an appropriate reminder of the
convention for the visiting delegates
as we'll as a good booster for North
Dakota and that it is what the two
gentlemen now in the city are work
ing on.
They are calling on the various
commercial clubs of the county seats
and principal towns and sell a certain
number OF pages to each town. Then
they secure photographs of the prin-
cipal buildings, historical sites, land
marks an various places of public
interest, and make cuts for use in
the souvenir.
1t is expected that Bismarck will
not be behind the other cities of the
state in this matter and that it will
be represented in the booklet.

CURING CATARRH.
Accept Our Advice and Try This Rem
edy at Our Risk.

Accept Our Advice and Try This Rem.
edy at Our Risk.
Catarrh is q disease of the mucous
membrane. The mucous membrane IS,
one may say, the interior lining Of the
body. Catarrh therefore may exist In
any part Of the system.
When the catarrhal poison attacks
the mucous membrane, Inflammation
and congestion are produced and ma.
ture fails to throw off the accumulat.
ed poisons. The organ which has been
afflicted ceases to perform its proper
function as nature intended it should.
The result is, complication upon COM
plication, which may lead to other
even more serious Affections.
We honestly believe Rexall Mucu-
Tone will do wonders toward over
coming catarrl. 1t is made from the
prescription Of an eminent physician
who made long study of catarrh, and
his great success with this remedy was
an enviable one.
We want you if YOU are a sufferer
from catarrh in any form, to give
Rexall Mucu-TOlle thorough trial.
Use it with regularity and persistency
for reasonable time. then if you are
not satisfied, come back and tell us,
and without question or formality we
will hand back to you every cent you
paid US. This is certainly the fairest
offer that any one could make and
should attest our sincerity Of pur-
pose. 1t comes in two sizes, prices
so cents and $lOO. Remember you can
obtain it only at-The Rexall Store

Correct Way to Roll Umbrella.

A badly rolled up umbrella, besides
looking unsightly, does not wear half
as long as it ought to. The process Of
rolling an umbrella is very simply.
The majority hold it by the handle ana
keep twisting the stick with one hand,
while with the other they twist and
roll the silk. Instead Of this they
should take hold Of the umbrella just
above the ribs of the cover. These
points naturally lie evenly with the
stick. They should be kept hold Of
and pressed tightly against the stock
and then the cover should be rolled up.
Holding the ribs thus prevents them
from getting twisted out Of place or
bending out of shape, and the silk IS
bound to follow evenly and roll smooth
and tight. II an umbrella is rolled in
this fashion it will look as If newly
bought for long time.-Boston Her.

A CORRECTION.

The Tribune in reproducing the gov
ernor's veto message in connection
with the druggists permit bill, made
a mistake which changed the entire
character of the message. At the be-
ginning of the nineteenth line in next
to the last paragraph the word drug
gist" was substituted for the word
physician" making the sentence read
'The entire responsibility is thrown
on the druggist" when the correct
reading should have been: "The en-
tire responsibility is thrown on the
physician"

STATE WILL CARE
 FOR FEED STUFFS

Montgomery, January n.-(Special.)-A new clerk will be employed in the state department of agriculture at salary of $500 per year if a bill which Is soon to be presented to both houses of the legis- lature meets with favor and is passed by the solons. The bill is entitled "An act to regulate commercial feeding stuffs in Ala bama," and 1t has received the backing of Capt. Rufus F. Kolb and other agri- culturists of the state.
 If passed the measure will be a pro- tection not only to the farmer, but tho legitimate shipper. Feedstuffs wiu be sold on the registration and tag plan, by means of which a revenue amounting to about $50. GOO, probably, would be brought to the state.
 The clerk would have thrust upon him the duties of seeing to it that such feed- stuffs are uncontaminated. |.
