obscure hamlet have gone to lied In the

and awoke In the morning to And the name
of their town printed In large typo In the

fair to rescuo his nstlve heath from ob

men who are at largo In Mason City and
who, If captured, would be able to clear up
the "diamond robbery."
The fact of the business Is the young

and for years has been using his energies
In rerrellhg out clues, measuring foot
prints and learning the rudiments of the
business. Now he feels he Is ready to
"come out" and wants to come out In

men under suspicion, two pairs of shackles
and a reward for the arrest of the two
man. i
The young man's letter to the chief
of police Is us follows: .
MASON CITY. Ia., Feb. IT. 15.-To the
Chief of Police, Omaha: In regard to the
diamond robbery, suspicion hits been
aroused to me by two men. In regard to
this, will nay that If you will reward me
and get mo In the i'lnkerton Detective
agency I am sure I can bring the two men
If warrants are made out, except names,
and star and warrant put In my hands I
will bring them there, for things are going
on here with the two men that they must
belong to some gang. One of them made
tho remark he would have to look out what
ho in doing and lie seems to be careful
what he is doing not to let too many next.
But there must be a leak somewhere, or
It looks so any way. They are selling
things too cheap to iK-come by them hon
estly here, hut no one knows this but Just
a few. They sell things helow any firm's
cost price I ever heard any thing of. They
are selling Jewelry, shoes, clothing and
groceries and anything you want, and are
even selling barber supply stun. They seem
to be leary of the truck some way or an
other, as they wutch things closely, so If
you want them send me a star and au
thority card and two warrants ami railroad
fare and my return ticket. Hut don't send
any officer whatever you do, or you never
will get them here. I can bring them both
If you want me to. If yen send the war
rants send two pairs of shackles and I will
do It righr. Notify me at once what to do,
but don't address any letters to me, for
they are suspicious, especially one of them.
Address Klmer J., Mason City.
The local authorities are In the dark as
to the diamond robbery referred to and
have asked Elmer for further particulars
before sending the warrants, shackles, star
and tho rest of It.

Drunkenness

CURED TO STAY CURED BY
WHITE RIBBON REMEDY
Given In a Glass of Milk, Tea, Coffee. Water or Mixed in
Food Without Patient's Knowledge.
I announce to the world that I hay. an
absolute cure for drunkenness In any form
lu White Ribbon Remedy, based on thou
sands of cures made of the most obstinate
caBes, after taking White Ribbon Remedy.
Wy degrees the patient gets a distaste for
Intoxicants and nnally leaves off altogether,
it Is wonderful. Many a hard drinker has
thus been reclaimed by White Ribbon Rem
edy and restored to his family and friends.'
White Ribbon Is easily and secretly given
to anyone without their knowledge by fol
lowing the simple directions. It Is taste
lees, odorless and perfectly safe to take.
White Ribbon Remedy will cure or destroy
the diseased appetite for all aleoholto
drinks, whether the patient Is a confirmed
Inebriate, a "tippler," social drinker or
drunkard. Impossible for anyone to have
an appetite for alcoholic liquors after using
White Ribbon Remedy. It restores the vic
tim to iioraual health, giving him or her
steady nerves and a determination to resist
temptation.
This Remedy for Drunkenness Is
Indorsed by Members of a
. Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union.
Mrs. Anna Moore, press superintendent oi
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
Los Angeles,. Cal., states: "I have, tested
White-Ribbon Remedy on very obstinate
drunkards, and the cures have been many.
In most cases the remedy was given with
out the patient's knowledge. I cheerfully
recommend and advise to give It to any
relutlve suffering from drunkenness. Mem
bers of our-union are delighted to find a
practical and economical treatment which
can be recommended as safe, sura, secretly
and safely given."

JURY GETS NEW INSTRUCTION
Novel Scene in Judge Kennedy's Court
During an Inquiry.
ATTORNEYS MAKE FURTHER ARGUMENT
Trial of llnseovck Against Street
llallvra Company Finally Kniti
in a Verdict lor the
Defendant.
An exhibition of a perplexed Jury Kt work
was given to a limited audience Saturday
afternoon In Judge Kennedy's court. The
jury In tho Hoscovck personal Injury suit
had come Into court to have certain ques
tions answered, to-wit:
first Wa testimony given at the first
trial by 'Mis Hoscovek admitted In this
trial: and If so. was she asked if she got
off the car before it stopped, and did ehe
answer ye?
Second-Should consideration be given to
nn assertion of Mr. Connell In hi argument
that plaintiff had gone to u certain man
and offered to settle for ll.SOii?
Third If the Jurv Is Inclined o believe,
that one witness testified falsely, should
thnt fa t have anj- bearing on the t.tlnion
of other witnesses on the same sldci
The court answered question two and
three In the negative. On question one ft
consultation was held In the Judge's cham
ber between tho attorneys and the court.
Afterwards the court instructed the Jury
to. the effect that no such testimony was
admitted on this trial us waa specified in
the qutlon. To the form of the court's
Instruction Mr. Connell, for defendant, took
strong exception.
Attorneys Have n Talk.
Then for a few minutes It was nip and
tuck between Attorneys Connell nnd
Wcavrrf with the court cuttlne; in occa
sionally. Connell wanted the reporter's
notes rend. Weaver Insisted the Jury did
not want to hear them, us tho foreman had
so stated, nnd the court modified the lan
guage of the Instruction, lie also gave
way to OuineU's Importunities to the ex
tent that tho Jury was asked Individually
to express their desire. Some wanted the
notes read and tho court ordered the re
porter to read. And again there was a con
sultation In the Judge's room concerning
Just what should be read.
It was while the Judge and the attorneys
were out In consultation that the Jurors
got busy In an unimated discussion of the
evidence and facts In the case. There was
play of many a right hand Into a left one.
shaking of heads In emphasis and several
groups of two or three were earnestly en
gaged In argument. The foreman was ap
proached and consulted by other' Jur6rs.
and unconsciously the twelve .men were as
hard at work on the mutters of difference
between them as If they had been In their
own room. Through It all the colored
member of tho Jury sat back in meditation,
taking no part In the dlscuswlon, but listen
ing Interestedly to his fellows.
Spectntors Enjoy the Scene,
Acting Mayor Zimman and two or three
others who happened to be present, found
the spectacle quite Interesting. Of 'course
no one went near tho Jury box, as the
bailiff was keeping an eagle-eyed watch
on his charges, but to an outsider the
keenness of the argument seemed to pre
sage a long siege before an agreement.
Shortly after 4 o'clock the jury reported
it hud agreed on a verdict. As soon as the
Judge and tho attorneys were on hand the
Jury's verdict was received. It was for
the defendant.
On the first trial of this case the Jury
gave plaintiff a' verdict for $4,0U0. She was
then suing for $10,000. Before the second
trial the amount claimed . was rained : to
$25,000. On this trial the Jury disagreed.
Tho jury on the third trial returned a
verdict for $2,000 for -the plaintiff. As In
the case of the first verdict the defendant
company secured a new trial.

HIGH SCHOOL FOR NEGROES
White Cltlaens of Kansas City, Kan.,
Irge Governor to Sinn Measure
for Separation of Itncrs.
KANSAS CITY. Feb. 18. Many white cit
izens have called upon Governor Hoch at
Topeku to urge upon him the necessity for
signing the bill providing for a separate
high pchool for negro pupils at Kansas
City, Kan., Just passed by the Kansas legislature.
Last year at Kansas City, In the mixed
school, a prominent white boy was stabbed
to death by a negro and In urging tho
governor to sign the present bill the white
citizens said that only the separation of
tho two races would avert further trouble
and possible bloodshed. ,
A delegation of negroes appeared before
the governor today and urged him to veto
the bill. Governor Hoch gave no Intimation
of his probable action.
THINK IT OVER.
Any
Something Yon tun See
Keatanrailt or Cafe.
A physician puts the query: Have you
never notlceu in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number of
hearty, vigorous old men at tho tables;
men whose ages run from 00 to 80 years;
many of them bald and all perhaps gray,
but none of them fecblu or Bcnlle?
l'crhupu the spectacle Is so common as to
have escaped your observation or comment,
but nevertheless it is an object lesson which
means something.
If you will notice what these hearty old
fellows are eating you will observe that
they are not munching bran, crackers nor
gingLrly picking their way through a menu
card of new fangled health foods; on the
contrary they seem to prefer a Juicy roast
of beef, a properly turned loin of mutton,
and even the deadly broiled lobster is not
altogether ignored.
Tho point of all this Is that a vigorous
o!d age depends upon good digestion and
plenty of wholesome food, and not upon
dieting und an endeuvor to live upon bran
crackers.
There Is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to belleva that - meat, coffee,
and many other good things are rank
poisons, but these cadaverous, sickly-looking
Individuals are a walking condemnation
of their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that if the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
Juices in sufficient qualities any wholesome
food will be promptly digested; If the
stomach docs not do so, and certain foods
cause distress, one or two of Stuart's pys.
pepsia Tablets after each meal will remove
all difficulty, becauso they supply Just what
every weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro
chloric acid, diastase and nux.
Btuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon tho bowels, and In fact are not strictly
a medicine, ax they act almost entirely
upon the food eaten, digesting It thor
oughly, and thus gives a much-needed rest
and giving an appetite for the next meal.
Of people who travel nine out of ten use
Btuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing them
to be perfectly safe to use at any time and
also having found out by experience that
they are a safeguard against Indigestion In .
any form, and eutlng, as they have to, at
all hours and all kinds of food, the travel,
lug public for years h?ve pinned their
faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at 6o cents for
full-sized packages. Hnd any druggist from
Jdattie to California, If his opinion were
asked, will say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tublete Is the most popular and successful
iciucdy for any stomach trouUt.

Nervo-Sexual Debility.
What a vast amount of wretchedness, misery and sorrow this disease
brings upon a man, and often due to his folly or his Ignorance. It Is a serious
thing that men contract or inherit disease or weakness, but the most serious
results are sure to follow neglect or Improper treatment. It seems strange
that some men will defer treatment day alter day, lacked In body and wrecked
In mind, when there is a sae, certain and sure way to escape. We offer
you this aid. this help, this certainty oi restoration.
Private diseases and weaknesses of men have been the means of blighting
the most radiant hopes, rendering marriage unhappy and business a failure.
Weakness unfits a mun for bis home, where men should find their happiness.
It untits him for business, where men should meet with success. It unllts him
for friendship, and leads him to shrink from eomimniotiHhip. The mugnetlsm
that wins men is absent. The mananess that attructs women Is (Unplaced by
a shrinking weakness, and the victim, knowing this, seeks solitude.
Nervo-Sexual Debility numbers among its victims the best of men. Their
youth promised success and their qualifications deserved it. Their manhood
brought failure and poverty, and for no other rausu. There are thousands upon
thousands of men who would marry save for this debarment. There aro those
who are married and whose keenest affliction lies in the feeling that they are
disqualified and that the one whose admiration means most must know It.
