Needed Clutches Himself

Henry Reinwald and Richard
Alpers were here from Rose VAL
ley Tuesday and Mr.. Reinwald told
us a Joke on his neighbor, Henry
Jansen. Mr.. Jansen was badly
hurt In a fall some time ago and
has been using crutches since. On
Dee. ed new son arrived and he
told another son then to stake
those sticks away-I won't need
them any more" Mr.. Reinwald Is
proud OF his fine family OF twelve
children but he was no sooner
through telling the Joke on Mr..
Jansen than Mr.. Steinheimer and
his eight manly sons marched In.
When he grasped the situation and
realized how he was outclassed he
nearly collapsed and We feel sure
he'd given most any price just then
for Mr.. Jansen's crutches to keep
from collapsing. We haven't heard
from him since.

Christmas 1911

Again the time OF year when
true brotherly love prevails
through out the land OF good old
U. 6. A. has come and passed
Christmas 1911. Each year on this
day witnesses more and more a
Christlike spirit on earth. Every
one is happy whether rich or poor
and all have a cheerful word for
his neighbor.
Christmas-Christ's birthday, the
time when the whole world Is en-
gagged in a conspiracy OF love.
That is the way Christmas day was
this year. No one was forgotten.
The poor and unfortunate ones are
remembered and made happy by
the different organizations, which
is certainly brotherly kindness to
them. Especially is this noticed in
our great cities. The squalid re-
gions are explored and improved
by various methods of systematic
beneficence. "Christian settlements
are established, Bureaus of Char
ity, Associations for the Relief OF
the Poor, Good Fellows Committee
ETC., all formed to help their un-
fortunate brother and to make him
happy and the donations obtained
5v these societies are all freely
given as to Him was given.
Christmas day in this city was
ideal. A crisp winter day with a
bright sun shining and the people
with bright eyes, rosy cheeks and
warm hearts, made the day a
Merry, Merry Christmas indeed.
There were happy throngs or
the streets all day, promenading
Suggy and auto riding, exchanges
', happy greetings

Mabray Names
His Victims
Swindler Recalls Men Who
Plunged on Fake Sport
Events.

Council Bluffs, Iowa, Dee. 22.-
svi5eace introduced today in the
rial OF Ben Marks, wealthy polii-
ician, on an indictment charging
him with providing the so-called
Mabray swindle syndicate with
police protection in 1907 and 1908
largely corroporated the testimony
of J. c. Mabray, chief witness for
the state in the prosecution.
There are twenty indictments
against Mabray, who only recently
completed a two-year sentence in
the federal prison at Leavenworth.
Mabray today concluded his
story telling an amazing descrip-
tive tales of NOR ethan 100 swindles
erpstrated in Council Bluffs, at
Now Orleans and Seattle, In which
half a million dollars was plunder-
ed from victims eight OF whom
were residents OF Missouri.
Their names and addresses, with
the sums each lost and the fake
matches employed, are as follows: {:
I. A. Vancleve, st. Louis, foot race
$4,000; {. c. Vanderbeck, st. Louis
wrestling match, $25oo; z. Pirre-
oat, Maryville, horse race, $21oo |;
". II. Bedford, Bolckow, horse race
$4,000; T. w. Ballew, p rinceton,
horse race, $4,000; William Burke,
st. Louis, prize fight, $4,000; w. j.
jshiff, Kansas City, boxing match,
$4,000; DR.. J. q. Parrish, jr., st
Louis, boxing match $4,000.
r. w. Ballew OF Princeton, Mo-,
who has died was the one victim
OF the gang who, after a chase ex-
tending across the continent and
the expenditure of large sum Of
money, caused Mabray's arrest and
he breaking up Of the syndicate.
Be.lew was "steered" against the
gang by J. w. Dobbins, also Of
princeton, whose sentence of two
years for participation has just
Seen affirmed by the Supreme
court OF Iowa.
Bellew had at times befriended
Dobbins and his betrayal to the
gang was greater disappoint-
ment than the loss Of the $4,000.
In relation to this deal j. C. Ma
bray today testified that he had
paid Dobbins s75oo for bringing
Bellew into "the fold"
The character each victim was
led to assume In the swindles was
such that Il made them subject to
suspicion as n party to the crime,
and, working on this phase, the
yang frightened their victims in
% silence and into making hasty
sxit towards home lest the author
tiles arrest them.
Bellew was the exception and
working with the United States
Postal Department, he brought
them to court, Post Office Inspect
or, j. 8. Swenson of st. Louis play
ing an important part in their cap
ture.

victims, has a daughter at the

ian and widely known. His name

BABYS TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when 1 removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced ME to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but a short
time before I could see that he was
improving, and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura REM
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

cura Soap and Ointment are sold by

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
PeOpIe'S Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises of the man.
ufacturer. This applies more particu-
larly to medicine. A medicinal prep
aration that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recon-
mended by those who have been cured,
to those who are in need Of 1t.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
a preparation 1 have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case it
shows immediate results, as many Of
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that l know Of has so
large sale."
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that it fulfils
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutraliZes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
A free trial bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. Address DR..
