NO PROSECUTION ORDERED
John Berry, North Side Grocer, Is Al
legged to Have Lost 81, 500 to Milwau-
kee Swindlers Promised to Make
Him Fortune in Canned Tomatoes.

The story of bold swindle by which
one Kenosha man was robbed Of $500
in cash has been brought to the notice
of the police. The man was John Berry
who conducts a grocery store on Mil
Waukee avenue, near Cedar street, and
the bold swindle which netted the per
petrators such rich booty was pulled
off few days ago. Berry has made
no complaint to the district attorney
and as the crime, if there was one, was
committed in Milwaukee county, action
against the men must be started in that.
county. Berry is frugal man and
from his savings in business he had
piled up a bank account in one Of the
local banks Two men who claimed
Milwaukee as their home went into the
store and showed an interest in the
business Berry was doing. They went
to the store several times and finally
they became confidential How much
do you pay for those canned toma-
toes?' one of them asked Berry, re-
ferring to shelf Of canned goods. The
dealer informed MIN that they cost in
the neighborhood of eight cents can.
= That s way too much, Y the fellow re
sponded. Right now you can get
those tomatoes in Milwaukee for three
cents a can. The war is forcing the
price of Gained gooGs up every day and
later on they will cost lot more. IF
you just had some money to invest in
canned tomatoes now, you could get q
big profit reselling them later Berry
gave the matter considerable consider
alton and thought Of the fact that he
had money in the bank which he spent
in tomatoes. You are a good fellow,
john the other fellow said, land 7
am willing to advance you some money
to buy canned goods with Berry
finally, according to the story told to
the district attorney, went to the bank
and drew a considerable sum of money,
the amount is placed at $500, and
armed with this roll he went to Mil
Waukee with the two men to lay a foun-
dation for a fortune to be built on
canned tomatoes. The men advised him
that he was foolish to carry the money
about loose in his pocket and suggested
that he buy a small hand satchel. Ber-
ny bought the satchel and then the two
men took him to the home of one of
Their friends to spend tie evening. It's
the old story, the satchel disappeared
and with it the savings Of the Kenosha
grocer. Berry was game and never
said word. He came back to Keno
sha, having paid high price for ex-
perience and told the story to a few of
his friends who in time told it to the
police officers and the district attorney.
Berry declared that he did not know
just where in Milwaukee the place
where he was robbed was located. Dis
trict Attorney Drury declared that if
Berry wanted an investigation and ar
rests he would ask the officials up in
Milwaukee to make the investigation
and if they found the fellows to make
the arrests. With as rich a haul as
they made, it is probable that the two
sharpers have another hunting ground
by this time.

GRIP AND NEURlSTnEN[A

There is form OF neurasthenia that
follows the grip. Doctors call it post
grippap' neurasthenia. One of the
foremost medical authorities Of New
York city in q lecture in the interna-
tional clinics, said:
Broadly speaking, every victim Of
the grip will suffer from post-grippal
neurasthenia also. Lowering Of ner-
vous tone with increased irritability is
the most striking effect of the disease,
languor of mind and body, disturbed,
ftful sleep and vague pains in the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and tonic.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, q non.alco-
holic tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack of the
grip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms respondent grip victims in
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
women.
If you have had the grip get box
of DIR. Williams Pink Pills now from
the nearest drug store and begin the
treatment at once.
On request we will send you free
pamphlet, Building Up the Blood"
which contains chapter on the grip.

water power company is not the only

The speaker did not believe that
anything should be asked for under
an agreement that violated the state
laws. The council did not have the
power to change such question, any
way, that could only be done by the
state legislature. He could see no
ground for this talk Of moral obliga-
lions. He did not see how anybody
could ask men in Office to violate
their oaths, and especially when these
men could be removed from Office for
this violation, he said.

Of This Week.

The Rev. DR.. G.. D. Saunders who
is conducting revival meetings at the
Pilgrim Rest Baptist church, preached
two able and soulw inning sermons
Sunday morning and night. Despite
the rain yesterday large audience
listened to the sermon, the subject OF
which was 1.-The Garden and the
Gardeners" He featured the church
of God as the garden and its sainted
members as the gardeners who work
with might and power to till the soil
and destroy the weeds of unrighteous-
ness which spring up when the gar
den is not properly titled.
He said: Cali ground when it Is to
be used for garden purposes, has to
be plowed, raked, and that the church
is the same. The pillow of faith breaks
up the soil of unrighteousness; the
rake of truth harrows up. the brush Of
disdain, malice and discord; the hoe
Of salvation digs out the weeds OF
strife. envy and discord; the garden is
marked off into rows and the seed of
purity, love and peace is planted and
at the reaping time good results are
brought forth. The church is cleansed
Of all its sins and made church Of
sanctifcation unto God"
Last night fair sized audience
