W. C. Cnsto , a well-to-do stockman from

Omaha whtlo taking In the exposition , Is
51300 poorer and thrco enterprising but un
scrupulous confidence men arc richer by
that amount ns n result of a visit to this
sldo of the river yesterday afternoon. Caste
formed'-tho'acquaintance of a stranger In
Omaha and the two spent Tuesday together.
During the dny the new found friend
fihowod Caste how ho could win money by
playing "top and bottom dice. " The man
from Fort Brldger thought It was as easy
ns rolling off a log. The stranger and Caste
happened to meet again yesterday , when
the former suggested that they take a trip
to Council Bluffs. Caste was willing , and
on reaching hero they got off the car at
the Northwestern depot. They walked east ,
on Broadway until they reached the corner
of Tenth street , where at the southwest
corner Is located a saloon with the sign
"This Place Is Famous" hung on the out-
Bide. The stranger wns thirsty nnd sug
gested tht-y take a drink. Whllo quenching
tholr thirst , they perceived two men In a
little room nt the rear of the bar throwIng -
Ing dice. The stranger whispered to Caste
that It wns an opportune time for him to
mnko a little money. They Joined the pair
nnd a game of "top and bottom" dice was
suggested. Luck , however , was against
Caste nnd the proceeds of two drafts
amounting to $300 were soon In the pockets
of the two strangers. As soon as they had
nil of Casio's wealth the two strangers nnd
the "friend" slipped nwny and then the
rnnn from Fort Brldgcr tumbled to the
fact that ho had been beautifully duped.
Ho complained to the police , but by the
1 time the officers got to the saloon the birds
had flown. The men who worked the trick
nre thought by the police to ho from Omaha.

DUBUQUE , la. , Sept. 14. ( Special. )
Joseph Gannon , a Dubuque boy , Is
visiting his parents here. Ho is a
member of the Oregon's crew and took
part In the battle of July 3. He
was back ofthe wain turret on which Cap
tain Clark stood , .during the engagement ,
and of course had n good view of it. Ho
says though all , .the men saw the fight.
Even the firemen naked on reliefs and when
off duty were on the deck watching the
fight. The temperature at Santiago averaged
SO while they were there. During the en
gagement It was 120 Inthe turrets nnd hot
ter than that in the frunaco rooms. When
the firemen would bo relieved and would
come up for a breath of nlr they would bo
so weak and exhausted they needed nsslst-
nnce. They soon recuperated , though , and
were eager ngaln for duty. Mr. Gannon
says 'the ' officers did not shirk nominal duty.
In nn emergency they would whip off their
coats and pitch In. Down In the engine room
the engineers helped the firemen nnd 'coal
heavers , and nil through the ship the officers
lent a hand where they could do good.
Mr. Gannon did not go aboard any of
the Spanish wrecks , but ho got some Inter
esting souvenirs , among which the fragments
of the Colon's battle Hag. Ho also has a
strip of the Oregon's battle flag. It was
new when the battle began , but now the
white stripes are gray. Mr. Gannon says

gram. ) Charles Dewey of Monfpcllcr , Vt. ,
brother of Admiral Dewey , Is in Sioux City ,
and says It was not by accident or chance
that his brother was placed In command of
the Asiatic squadron. In a letter to his
brother dated November 23 , 1897 , Commo
dore Dewey forecasted hostilities nnd eald
the Pacific was the place for him to make
a reputation. Ho secured that command
through the assistance of Senator Proctor of
Vermont , formerly secretary of war. Upon
his recommendation the president sent
Dcwey to the Pacific station. This , his
brother says , disposes of the statement that
Dewey became the hero of Manila by chance.

I have been suffering from fe
male weakness for four years ,
and have taken many medicines ,
but Wine of Cardui and Black-
Draught have done more for
me than anything else.
MRS. CAROLINE EVANS.
11 is a mistake to take any and every kind of medicine
when you arc sick. There is clanger in it. Most of the so *
called cures for "female weakness" do nothing more than
deaden the pain temporarily , and when the effect wears away
the patient is weaker and sicker than before. It is never wise to
take chances. You have only one life , and that is dear and
precious. If you have any pain , ache , disorder or weakness in
the feminine organs , nothing will help you like Wine of Cardui.
It helps do away with morning sickness during the early stages
of pregnancy , and modifies the pains of childbirth t recovery is
rapid and future health is as
sured. The Wine is purely LADIES' ADVISORY DEPARTMENT.
