As to stories of possi- ble arrests, he said: “So far, no complainant has ap- peared. If the notes said to bear the name of a well-known man are forger- fes they must be so deciared, and until he has seen them nothing done.” The gentleman was asked if some of- ficial of the Oberlin Bank could not be | the complainant. The answer was re | turnea: “It must be first shown that the bank has been swindled, and until this fact can be learned matters must move with exceeding caution.” From present indications every ef- fort will be made by Mrs. Chadwick’s friends .to-morrow to settle the case. It was said to-night by one interested in her affairs that Mrs. Chadwick has at the present time much more than enough to settle those claims which have been made up to this time.

Reports vary as to the value of the | Jewelry in question. One places their Worth at $50,000, while another says it is only $10,000. BECKWITH BREAKS DOWN. OBERLIN, Ohio, Dec. President C. T. Beckwith was practically in a state of collapse to-day as a result of the trying ordeal through which he passed yesterday in connection with his hearing before the United States commissioner in Cleveland. Beckwith is prostrated and his grief is pitiful In discussing his troubles the voice of the aged banker is choked with emo- ticn. He said, in speaking of the Car- negie note, that if the signatures we forgeries then the hand of the law should be laid upon Mrs. Chadwick. “Why should I stand the brunt of | all this trouble, which has been direet- ly brought about by the acts of that woman?” he cried. Continuing Beck- with said: 5y “I had every reason to believe that the notes were genuine. Indeed, Mrs. Chadwick swore they were. She sol- emnly declared that she had seen Mr. Carnegie write his signature on them. To confirm this she brought an attor- ney with her, who declared that he was the legal representative of Mr. Carnegie and this attorney, whose he knew positively that the signatures e genuine. “It is true that we—Mr. Spear and myself—did indorse the notes. but, of course, we had no idea that they were to be put to the use that they were afterward. Then, again, we had the positive assurance of Ira Reynolds, secretary of the Wade Park Banking Company of Cleveland, that he had the securities that Mrs. Chadwick claimed he held. “Oh, my God!" exclaimed the old man, “if I could only have my life to live again for the past two years that 1 might save my name from this great dishonor that has befallen me.” KLINE HINTS AT FORGERY. MANSFIELD, Ohio, ' Dec. 6.-Mrs, Cassie L.

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—"Front!” And with a swish of skirts a “bell hop” will stand at the desk in the Great Northern: Hotel haps. At least that is the way Manager Reth thinks things should be in an up-to-date hotel, and the patrons of the Great Northern seem greatly pleased with the first step in that di- shortly—per- rection, taken to-day by the hotel management. The “bell girls” have not been installed as yet, but they soon will be if Roth's experiment of using girls instead of boys as key clerks is a success. Two girls have been installed behind the desk. | “It is going to have the effect of keeping our patrons inside the house,” said Roth, as he stood watching a crowd of guests scrambling for their keys. “I like to have a lot of girls around anyway—they are so much more courteous than boys and seem | to please the traveling public more.” ——————————— | !AD\'A.\'CES THE FUNDS i FOR WIFE'S ELOPEMENT | Jowa Man Foots the Bill When Help- ! meet Decides to Desert Her Home.

CHICAGO, Dec. 8.—Out of 139 decoy prescriptions sent by the State Board of Pharmacy to Chicago druggists to be filled, twenty-three contained no trace of the drug for, sixty-six were 80 per ten werg, 20 per cent impu! 10 per vent- impure, and only thirty-one were pure. As a result the State Board will pros- ecute 100 druggists for selling impure drugs. 4 Prescriptions signed by Doctor J. Scott Brown, calling for a mixture of pure aristol, were sent to the drug- gists, and when they were filled chemi- cal tests were conducted by Dr. J. A. | Wesener of the Columbus Laboratory. “Druggists can have no excuse for dealing in such spurious drugs,” said Dr. Wesener, “as the tests are easy. I have found in my analysis of the pre- scriptions chalk mixed with ircn oxide or some other mineral substance used for aristol, which is an antiseptic used much by surgeons. “It is extremely dangerous to intro- duce mineral substance into an fopen wound. It is possible this adulterated drug may have caused numberless cases of bleod poisoning, with conse- quent loss of life. “Many surgeons who have used this impure aristol in good faith have been at a loss to know why wounds have suppurated. “Many druggists have been misled | into purchasing these cheap imitations of pure aristol by unscrupulous sales- men. In many cases the Substitute was nothing more than fuller's earth.” No responsible wholesale drughouses have been found selling these spurious drugs. An effort will be made to learn the salesmen who have sold the drugs to the pharmacies. — 0AN OF ARC CAUSE OF DUEL Two French Leaders Meet on “ield- of Honor, but No Harm Comes to Either One Rk HENDAYE, France, Dec. 6.—M. de Roulede and M. Jaures, the Soclalist leader in the French Chamber of Depu- ties, fought a duel with pistols here to-day. Two shots were exchanged at twenty-five paces. Neither participant was hit. The political prominence of the par- ticipants in the meeting attracted great interest. The Spanish Government warned the parties not to fight in Spain, so the 'French Government al- lowed M. de Roulede, who is an exile, twenty-four hours’ leave to enter France and meet M. Jaures. The sec- onds of both parties were prominent members of the Chamber of Deputies. Deputy Jaures telegraphed a chal- lenge to Paul de Roulede, a former Deputy and founder of the Leazue of Patriots, who has been in political ex- ile in Spain since his participation in the plot to overthrow the French Gov- ernment. The challenge grew out of the agitation of the students of Purs. resulting from the alleged insulting re- marks about Joan of Arc made by a | professor of history at the Lycee Con- corcet. M. de Roulede telegraphed from Spain, declaring that the Socialists were responsible for the attacks on Joan of Arc, and adding that she was the most sublime figure in history, whereas M. Juares was the most con- temptible .of her detractors. Roosevelt's Pennsylvania Vote.
