Posing as Heir, Bogus "Jess RAN
kin'S" Career Stopped by Ar
rest After Wedding.
SENTENCED TO PRISON
Wife Will Seek AnnuIment of Mar
rage and Friends Count Loans as
Lost-Disputed Identity With Son
of Mssour's Biggest Farmer.

Council Bluffs, lat is a far cry
from feted bridegroom at a wedding
breakfast with unlimited credit and
tradesmen begging his favors to a
numbered convict in the Missouri pen
itentiary, with his hair cropped, but
James Milliken made the change with
in five days. In the first role he was
known as Jess Rankin, son of the
late David Rankin of Tarkio, Mo-, the
largest farmer in the world, and in his
latter role he was known as James
Milliken of Tarkio, indicted at Kansas
City for horse stealing before he In
troduced himself as heir to the largest
far min Missouri and Iowa.
The arrest was made in the presence
of his bride of an hour, who was Miss
Edna Blumenstein, and his wedding
guests. His wife will ask annulment
of the marriage.
So stoutly did Milliken maintain he
was the real "Jess Rankin that he
commended in the courtroom with the
true Rankin as to which was the mas
querader. 1t vas not until several old
schoolmates IF Rankin were produced
and positively identified their friend
that Milliken acknowledged his decep-
ton. But by that time his bride had
returned to her mother.
According to the real Rankin, who
came to Council Bluffs to defend his
name, this is not the first time Mill
ken has passed himself off as the Tar.
kio man. Instead there are numerous
instances in which Milliken succeeded
in flying high at the expense of the
Missouri farmer. But never before
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1912-02-28

did the pretender carry his deception
to the point of marrying an innocent
girl, as he did in the Council Bluffs
case.
Six weeks previous Milliken ap-
peared in Council Bluffs and registered
at the best hotel under the name of
"Jess Rankin"
Rankin is one of the best-known
names in southwestern Iowa, where
the Rankins of Tarkio own thousands
of acres of the best land in the state.
But, fortunately for the masquerader,
young Rankin himself was known here
only by reputation-not by sight. And
for six weeks Milliken lived in clover.
AS young Rankin" of Tarkio he could
have anything he wanted.
He lived at the most expensive
cafes. He continued his residence at
the hotel. He gave dinners to new
friends. Cigars, by the box, were sent
to his room and charged" His cred
it at the bank would have been good
for $4,000 or more, on check, but not
a scratch of the pen did the fellow
make in that direction. He cashed
no checks.
He borrowed from every one with
whom he came in contact. Complete
" busted" he would laugh. Spent
my last cent. Hand it back first time
go near the bank" It was a good
joke, this catching young Rankin, heir
to $4,000 acres, without a red cent to
his name.
Rankin met Miss Edna Blumen-
stein, whose father is an employee Of
the Northwestern railroad. He made
love violently, just as he did every
thing else.
AS a wedding present, Rankin" de-
termined to give to his bride the
every best auto that money could
buy" So, for week, they sailed
around Omaha and Council Bluffs in
different automobiles which they were
trying, while the bridegroom made
up his mind as to the one he wanted.
Going to give the little girl any
thing she wants." he told the dealers.
That's Young Rankin of Tarkio.
Got money enough to buy every car
in the house and not miss it," the
salesman whispered to the managers.
Then came the marriage with Miss
BIumenstein, followed by the wedding
breakfast at one of the prominent
cafes. In the midst thereof, Chief OF
Police Frome walked in, laid his
hands on "Rankin's" shoulder and
said: II want you, Milliken." He was
turned over to the Missouri authori-
ties, taken to Kansas City, pleaded
guilty and was sent to the penitenti-
airy for two years.

A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredients That Really Pro-
mote Hair Growth when Properly
Combined

Resorcin is one Of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol, which is both germicidal
and antiseptic, a combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of its natural
nourishment, aud also creates a clean,
| healthy condition of the scalp. which
prevents the development of new
germs.
Pilocarpin, although not coloring
matter or dye, is a well-known in
gredient for restoring the hair to its
natural color, when the loss Of hair
has been caused by a disease of the
scalp.
These ingredients in proper COM
bination, with alcohol added as
stimulant and for its welldefned
nourishing properties, perfect per-
haps the most effective remedy that is
known for scalp and hair troubles.
We have remedy which is chief
~ composed of these ingredients, in
com bination with other extremely in
valuable medicinal agents. We
guarantee it to positively cure
dandruff and to grow hair, even
though the scalp in spots is bare of
hair If there is any vitality left in
the roots. it will positively cure bald
ness, or we will refund your money.
If the scalp has a glazed, shiny ap-
pearance, it's an indication that bald
ness is permanent, but in other in
stances we believe badness is durable.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try
Rexall ''93' Hair Tonic. If it does
not cure dandIuff and grow hair to the
satisfaction of the user, we will with :
out question or bubble return every
cent paid us for it. We print this
guarantee on every bottle. 1t has
effected a positive cure in SO per cent
of cases where put to practical test.
Rexall 3d. Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike, and we think, in every parti-
cular, better than anything else we
know of for the purpose for which it
is prescribed. We urge you to try
this preparation at our entire risk.
Certainly we know of no better
guarantee to give you. Remember.
you can obtain Rexall Remedies in
Lancaster only at our srore-The
Rexall Store. j. T. Bennett. :

DOG DIES IN MASTERS GRAVE
Canine Mourns Loss of His Owner and
BuTies Self in Same
Plot.

Smyrna, Del.-Love for his master,
who lay beneath the sod in the Friends
cemetery, led Shep, a dog, to burrow
into the same grave, there to die of
grief.
Joseph Stats was buried two weeks
ago. The next day his dog was miss
ing, and the family decided that some
one had stolen him. They had been
expecting his return, for they figured
that Shep would find way of escape
and come back to the farm where he
had been reared.
A few days later commercial trav-
eler, who traversed the road past the
cemetery at night, told in the village
tavern Of seeing a wolf in the road,
which he had stoned and which ran
into the grave yard.
The next day the Stats family went
to the cemetery to place flowers on
the grave. They found clods scattered
about the lot and a hole in the mound
above Mr.. Stats body. Inside they
found the dead body Of the faithful
dog.
A keeper remembered that he had
seen the dog going from grave to
grave, as though searching for some
thing. He had nosed about the GENE
terry till he found the right grave, and
then stretched out to die near the one
he loved.

If you are subject to constipation,

C0MP0SES MUSIC AT SEVEN
Prodigy in France Surprises Profess
sors by His Genius-Scientists
Are Interested.

Paris.-A seven-year-old boy of
Renens has such extraordinary must
cal genius that he is said to compose
beautiful and original music with as
tonishing facility and speed. Among
the works Of the boy, whose name is
Rene Guillou, are symphonies, soma
tas, melodies, fugues, and duos for
piano and violin, all of which have
provoked the admiration Of the pro
fessOrs of the Conservative.
Scientists are much interested in
this case Of abnormal precocity.
Young Guillou plays the piano per
fectly, but his chief ability seems to
be that Of composing. His ability ap-
pears to have developed suddenly one
day after the child had heard a mill
tary band play Chopin's musical
march.
On returning home, although he had
never touched a musical instrument,
he is said to have gone to the piano
and played the march quite correctly.
Rene Guillou is the son Of a postof-
fee employee.

DOG TO MOTHER CUB BEARS
London Geological Gardens to Try Elk
pertinent In Rearing
Polar Bears.

London. n Some young polar bears,
whose arrival is being awaited at the
London Geological gardens, are to be
mothered-by a dog!
Hitherto all the polar bears born to
Barbara, who is now collecting bits of
straw and making a nest, have died.
A great effort is, therefore, to be
made to rear the polar bear babies,
which, if they live, will be the first
educated in captivity.
The new treatment Of the polar ba-
bies will be a daring experiment. A
few hours after birth the cubs will be
removed from the mother and taken
to the sanitorium in the zoo, where a
probably boarhound-will be in
trusted with the duties of foster
mother.
Under the care of DR.. P. Chalmers
Mitchell and experienced veterinary
surgeons every attention and luxury
will be given to the young bears, and
their progress watched daily.
Barbara has sad record as a moth
er. Last year two Of her cubs died,
probably because she used to take one
out for an airing in inclement weather.
Sam, the father polar bear, takes lit
tie interest in his children, except that
he tmagines they are dainty morsels
to eat. He IS, therefore, separated
from the nursery.
In the reptile house five eggs of a
South African egg eating snake are ex-
pected shortly to hatch in warm sand.
Only one egg, it is feared, will be sue
cessful
