Tne silver republicans have issued a

A Counterfeiter Caught.
The Police of Syracuse Make an Import
ant Capture.
On Monday the 15th, Harold Marqui
see, of Utica, N. Y., was arrested in Syra
cuse, N. Y., on a warrant sworn out by
the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., charging
him with forgery. On the 15th of De
cember Marquisee visited a photo-engraver
in Syracuse, saying he was the
representative of the Dr. Williams' Medi
cine Co., and arranged for the making of
a fall set of plates for the direction sheets,
labels, etc., of the famous Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People. News of this
reached the home office, and no time was
lost in arranging for his arrest when lie
should return for the plates. Here
turned on the 15th and was accordingly
arrested and is now in jail in Syracuse
awaiting examination, which occurs on
.Marcbd.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plunder,
uch as medical books.typewriters, rugs,
tc, found in Marquisee's trunk when
arrested, the police also found counter
feit coin both in the trunk and on his
person; and in a search of his apart
ments at Utica found a complete outfit
for counterfeiting consisting of crucibles,
flbellows, nickel, lead, bismuth, antimony,
a small blacksmith forge, a charcoal
furnace, and several plaster-of-paris
molds. The United States marshals
want him just a soon as the Dr. Wil
liams' Medicine Co., are through with
him, and, no doubts,he will be sentenced
for a long period.
In selecting Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for his counterfeiting operations, he
showed his knowledge of the preparatory
medicine business; for these pills are in
such great demand that they are easily
sold at any drug store in the United
States. His scheme was to work the
country druggists and sell his imita
tions at a discount of from 2 per cent to
5 per cent, explaining the reduced price
by the fact that he had picked them up
in small lots and . at a discount from
dealers who were overstocked. By work
ing fast and making long jumps, he
would have secured many hundreds of
dollars in a short time. The proprietors
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are most for
tunate to have caught the rogue, before
he had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the
market.
Greek to go Home.
King George has practically decided
to declare war with Turkey and has
issued a call for all Loyal Greeks to re
turn to the defense of their native land.
The call sent out by Mr. Botassi consul
in this country was in part as follows:
"In the name of King George, I wish
to officially notify all Grecian reserves
who are in this country that their father
land calls them back to the ranks. And
t to all Greeks, whether they hare fought
r in bygone days or whether they have
not, in the name of my king, 'Your
country needs you.' "
There are more than 20,000 Greeks in
the United States and many of them
will leave in case war is declared.
The Secret of Baccese With Poultry
It is not difficult to win success in
poultry raising if close attention is paid
to details and every possible help and
advantage turned to account The
greatest helps and most positive advan
tages that poultry raisers can have are
a good incubator and a brooder (satis
factory results can never be obtained
with a combined incubator and brooder.)
The things requisite to make an incu
bator of , practical use and worth are,
briefly, a thoroughly substantial and
well made case, a perfect heating ar
rangement that has an absolutely reli
able, self-regulator attachment, and de
vices for supplying the proper amount
of moisture and fresh are. Above all,
the incubator should be self-regulating,
so that it may be left for hours with the
certainty that the temperature within
will never be too high or too low. Oth
erwise, besides the extreme liability to
spoil the hatch, the time consumed in
taking care of the incubator will greatly
lessen its profitableness.
We cannot conceive how a heat regu
lating attachment could be made more
perfect than the one furnished with the
Improved Victor incubator; in fact, iis
the only one of which we have any
knowledge that is actually and positive
ly Belf-regulating. Its simplicity of con
struction and great durability are
matched by its sensitiveness and unfail
ing reliability. To any on contemplat
ing the purchase of an incubator and
brooder, we earnestly recommend a
careful examination of the Improved
Victor Incubator and Improved Victor
Brooder, and an investigation of the
reputation of their makers, the Geo.
Errel Co., Quincy 111., who claim the
Victor to be the only absolutely self-regulating
incubator made and the easiest
to operate; that it will hatch as large
a percentage of fertile eggs as the highest
priced machine on the inarm; tuai Dotn
the Victor Incubator and Brooder are
the nt-rniicrpst- nnntpst And most durable

CARE OF THE HAIR.
Ignorance Bring About Unattractive
Locks and Scalp Disease. '
According to a certain distinguished
hair-dresser, women do not know how
to comb their hair. Their Bins of ig
norance are almost innumerable, and
the result is not only unattractive
locks, but headaches and scalp dis
eases. A cheap comb and brush, ac
cording to this authority, belong in the
Bame category with cheap soap. They
should never be used. Cheap combs do
not have smooth teeth which will make
their way unresistingly through the
hair. It can never be run through the
hair without breaking oft some hairs
and dragging others out by the roots.
Rubber or shell is the proper material
for a comb. The teeth should not be
too sharp or they will lacerate the
scalp. On the other hand, they must
not be very blunt or they will not be
effective in smoothing out tangles.
Brushes should be chosen with equal
care. They should not have metal
backs, no matter how attractive silver
may appear, for the metal makes them
too heavy. The back should be of
light wood and the bristles should be
long and thickly set. Moreover, they
should be bristles, and not weak imi
tations. After she has purchased her
"tonsorial supplies," the woman who
aspires to have beautiful hair should
learn how to use them. She should
brush her hair for five minutes at a
time twice a day, using long, even
strokes. At niffht she should part her
hair and let it hang in two loose
braids. Once a day she should rub her
scalp with her fingers to stimulate the
circulation. The brushing is absolute
ly necessary, for the hair attracts dust
and dirt with fatal facility, and this,
combining with the oil of the hair,
makes it malodorous and unpleasant
In the extreme. A monthly washing
with castile soap and the daily brush
ing will keep it clean and glossy, how
ever. No fits after first day's use of Dr

THE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE.
SENATOR GRAY MAKES A
SENSATIONAL CHARGE.
HE WAS OFFERED A BRIBE.
Aa Ex-Managing Editor of the Kanaac
Vlty Journal the Offender Benevo
lent Assessment Insurance Com
panion Exempted From Old
Line Laws Other Leg
islative Proceedings.
Jefferson City, Mo., March 10.
Senator Gray's sensational speech late
yesterday afternoon, when he de
nounced the Kansas City Journal, has
caused much comment among sena
tors, though the fact that the editor
whom he charged with having at
tempted to bribe him is no longer con
nected with the paper, has had a ten
dency to reduce the force of his
charges. On this point he said: "I will
say, Mr. President, that the only time
I ever was offered a bribe in the sen
ate was when one of the editors of the
Kansas City Journal called me aside
in this chamber and made an offer of
bribery. It was when we had the olo
margarine bill tinder consideration at
the last session."
When Gray had finished speaking,
Peers asked: "Is that the kind of men
your Republican editors are?"
"He isn't a Republican editorl" Gray
retorted. "I understand he tried onca
to bribe the mayor of Kansas City."
This morning Gray said: "It was
this man JSdwords. He came down
here to fight the passage of the oleo
margarine bill. He talked to me sev
eral times. At first he put it on the
ground of party policy. He said to me
that the big packing houses in Kansas
City were very much interested in kill
ing the bill. They were very influ
ential, he said, and would remember
us handsomely if we favored them.
He thousrht it would be good politics
to get the packing houses to support
the Republican party. I said my
people were farmers, and, if I voted
against their interests, they would re
member me. A few days afterwards
Edwords came to me and said he was
exceedingly anxious to get the bill
killed. He proposed to get up a pool
of ten senators at $2,000 apiece to kill
the bill, and assured me that he could
get the $20,000 without difficulty. He
wanted my opiuion about who to get
and how to go about it. I told him I
would have nothing to do with him or
his scheme. I had pledged myself to
vote for the bill, and besides, I was no
boodler. The man was a fool to try
such a scheme. The idea of buying
ten senators in a lump was absurd, to
say nothing of its dishonest features."
The bill which was under consider
ation when Gray made his sensational
speech was one providing for three
bank inspectors for state banks. The
Senate, on Gray's motion, amended it
to include examination of trust com
panies and, as Gray had been roasted
by the Journal for his bill to prevent
trust companies from becoming trus
tees, he took occasion to answer dur
ing the debate.

The Stock Yards Inquiry' Cost.
Jefferson Citt, Ma, March 10.
The House stock yards committee pre
sented its bill against the state for its
investigating tours this mornincr. It
acrcrrecrated $597.80. Charles W.
Green's bill for visiting Kansas City in

Benevolent Assessment Insnranoe.
Jefferson Citt, Mo., March 10. In
the House the Senate bill placing be
nevolent assessment societies doing a
regular Insurance business in the same
position as old linn companies was
called up. it excepts ail iraternai as
sociations. Clarka of Kansas City of
fered an amendment making void the
policy if suicide should be committed
within two years; and Whitecotton
said that would defeat one of the main
purposes of the bill, which is to com
pel these so-called benevolent socie
ties to pay policies in suicide cases.
The amendment was voted down and
the bill passed.
TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA-1
To Gain Flesh. To Sleep Well, to Know
What Appetite and Good ingestion
Mean, Make a Test of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.'
Interesting Experience of an Indianapolis
Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood thau nervous dyspepsia.
People haying it think that their nerves
are to blame and are surprised that
they are not cured by nerve medicine
and spring remedies; the real seat of the
mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu
lar in others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constipated, with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accumu
lation of gas, sour risings and heart
burn. Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 01 Prospect
St., Indianapolis, Ind., writes as follows:
"A motive of pure gratitude prompts
me to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. I hare been a suf
ferer from nervous dyspepsia for the last
four years; have used various patent
medicines and other remedies without
any favorable result. They sometimes
give temporary relief until the effects of
the medicine wore off. I attributed this,
to my sedentary habits, being a book
keeper with little physical exercise, but I
am glad to state that the tablets have
overcome all these obstacles, for I have
gained in flesh, sleep better, and am
better in every way. The above is writ
ten not for notoriety, but is based on
actual fact."
Respectfully yours,
A. W. Sharper,
CI Prospect St., Indianapolis, Ind.
It is mile to say that Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets will cure any stomach weak
ness or disease except cancer of stomach.
They cure sour stomach, gas, loss of

ache. Send for valuable little book on stom

AMERICAN OCEAN RECORDS.
Oar Ships Are Few, but They Are Pe
t feet and Unsurpassed.
It Is so novel and gratifying for this
tountry to have won a place in the in
ternational maritime competition that
We are apt to undermte what the facl
Implies. The truth U that with a
number of warships which in their re
spective classes are entitled to rank
with the best In the world we have just
two modern seagoing oerchant steam
ers of the first class afloat Each of
these steamers has in turn wrested
from their British-built predecessors
and from the other the record between
New York and Southampton. In point
of time they have already established
a rivalry on equal terms with the tar
larger Liverpool ships for passengers
between tLondon and New York. This
Is a great triumph for a nation which
for more than a generation has been
out of the International competition
and which has re-entered It with but
two ships of its own production. It
shows what can be done if only the
commercial conditions allow us to keep
up the rivalry thus begun. The rec
ord completed latoly by the St Paul
takes the respectable slice of two hours
from that made by her sister ship a
while ago, and assures Americans
anew that they can sail under their
own flag practically as fast as under a
foreign flag. As a matter of fact, the
most Interesting and encouraging thing
about these records Is the fact that
the ships which make them are ex
tremely practical vessels, and that they
meet the commercial conditions of th
North Atlantic trade more accurately
than the crack British ships, which
alone are their superiors in speed.
Every line finds It necessary to have
a "greyhound" or two, but It is not tb
greyhounds that make the money. It
is commonly believed that they are
run regardless of expense, in order to
adverfdse the lines to which they be
long. The St. Paul and the St Loult,
on the other hand, attain a speed not
Indeed equal, but for the purposes of
passengers equivalent to that of the
great Liverpool liners, and they do It
with the expenditure of, it seems like
ly, not much more than three-fifths of
the coal burned by the larger ships.
The difference is enormous and in a
close competition must be decisive, for
it can hardly be possible the greatest
British liners can earn as much more
money than the Americans as they
Bpend. It is already recognized In Eng
land that we threaten a formidable rl
vaury to the British carrying trade, at
least, on the North Atlantic. To have
attained this result with but two ships
of our own Is, we repeat, a remarkable
triumph. With a continuance of th
policy to which we owe the St Paul
and .the St. Louis we may look confi
dently forward to a fleet of first-class
American passenger steamers. New

Feeding Bees.
It must be understood that sufficient
feed is of prime Importance, said a
speaker at a Minnesota institute. Where
hives contain less than 20 pounds of
sealed stores they should be fed by giv
ing them sealed combs of honey, it we
have such; if not, a syrup made by mix
ing 10 pounds of water with 20 pounds
of granulated sugar and heating it to
the boiling point makes a first-class
winter food. At the present price of
sugar, this syrup will cost not more
than 4 cents per pound, and 12 pounds,
costing 50 cents, will when added to
the small store already In the hive
winter a strong colony, when placed in
a cellar and kept at a temperature of
from 40 to 45 degrees. Surely no hu
mane man will let these industrious
and profitable insects perish for want
of this small outlay. There are many
ways of giving this feed, the cheapest
being by tipping the hive an inch or so
back and pouring the feed in at the en
trance, a quart or so at a time. But
the bottom of the hive must be sealed
tight or the syrup will leak out and
cause robbing, which is one of the great
dangers in feeding. But whatever
method Is employed in giving the feed
it should always be given just at night,
so that the bees may have it all taken
up by morning. A far better way for
fall feeding is by a suitable feeder to
set on top of the hive, and give the
feed all at one time, which saves much
work and avoids robbing. With five or
six such feeders many colonies may be
fed in a short time. A shallow milk
pan filled with syrup oi honey, with a
piece of cheesecloth or other light cloth
laid loosely over the top, to prevent the
bees from drowning, makes a good
feeder. The pan must be placed on top
of the hive, with an empty hive body
or other box placed over it to keep roD
bers out, and a small opening made in
the hive top below to enable the bees
to reach the feed.

While duck hunting on the shores of
Lake. Erie, near Toledo, last week, Wil
liam Harret saw a remarkable snake.
It was about twenty-five feet long, dark
brown on the back, gray on the sides
and the belly was nearly white. When
It was colled up, Mr. Harret says, it
would fill an ordinary dray. The rep
tile had two ridges Just back of the
head. The ridges were as elastic as
rubber and appeared to be a pouch In
which the snake stored the products of
its catch in the lake. Mr. Harret saw
the snake extract a white perch from
the pouch on the right side and eat It,
after which if took to the lake and
swam off. Many large snakes have
been previously seen In that part of
the lake, but none as large as the one
seen by Mr. Harret
