SHARP TRIO AFTE
FARMERS' MONE
OLD GAME MADE ATTRACTIVE I N
NEW FORM.
Two Are Affluent Land Buyers, While
the Third, Who Drops In Innocently
Enough, Has Pockets Bulging with
Money and Appears to Need a Guar
dian.
Speoial to The Journal.
St. James, Minn., June 28.A trio of shnrpers
have been working aiuoug the farmers of south
ern Minnesota for a month, trying to fleece
thorn out of their dollars with an old game under
a new name.
The trio enter a town and pass themselves off
as gentlemen who desire to invest in farm
lands. In this manner they become acquainted
with the standing of the various farmers, and,
choosing one, they start their., game. Two of
tUe three hire a rle and drive to the farm of
?Blr Tlctlm-Vlect, to buy tils property. If the
former will sell they talk land, and after a.
Hfii& make an appointment with him. Here is
where the third man "gets in his work."
The two usually give the names of "Judge"
Harris and Dr. Morgan of Cedar ltapids. Iowa.
Their confederate acts the part of a demented
man with a pocketful of moneythey bait with
which they catch their victims.
Their game is to get a farmer interested in the
ale of his property and to take him to a point
Where they will meet the confederate. The con
federate stops them with a wave of his hand,
and asks the place of residence of a man with
some impossible name. "Judge" Harris, who 13
spokesman, replies that he is a stranger and ap
peals to the farmer beside him for information.
Of course the farmer never heard of a person
with the name given and says so. Thereupon the
confederate launches upon a disconnected story
of just having come from Kentucky looking for
man by the name of Hornblower who had mar
ried his sister and moved to southern Minnesota.
He further states tthat his father has just died
and left him $3,3.K) and that he has the money
^lth him.
In proof hia pockets appear to be fairly filled
with greenbacks. Harris and the farmer usually
question the stranger, and from the answers re
ceived the farmer is usually convinced that the
man is crazy. The confederate asks the farmer
If he has ever been to Chicago, and tells how
he visited the city and lost ?43 on a card game.
It is worth the money, he says, for he learned
a trick or two that was worth $45 of anybody's
money. Harris asks if he remembers the trick
well enough to show it to them. He does re
member, and pulling a duster from the buggy he
spreads it out upon the ground and from some
where in his money-laden pockets he finds a
deck of cards.
"Here ycu." ho says, "give me $5, and if you
draw a queen you get $1,500."
Harris gives him the five, draws a queen and
gets the money. Harris draws again, but the
iuee is elusive. The farmer is then asked
to dray. Generally' he is timid but the sight
of the money about makes him careless and he
deposits and draws. If the farmer is sharp he
v.ill notice that the queen is beut and doubled
and easily picked-out of the pack. Usually the
farmer draws the queen nnd is handed a roll,
supposed to contain the $1,500.
"Now," says the confederate, "you have got
to show same amount. The "judge" speaks for
the man beside him, explaining that he is a
fanner and not likely to have the amount with
him, but that he owns a large farm near by
and does not need to show that he can raise
Hie amount. "That will not do
federate. "He must show the money." It is I end.
explained pro and con and Harris then proposes
to go to town and get the money, and the con- HUDSON, WIS
federate promises to wait on the spot for their fn
return.
If the farmer is wise he will then part com
pany with the sharpers, and most of them do.
Those who return with money in their pockets
go home more wise, if less rich, for the day's
experience.
The trio have been working in Blue Earth.
Drown. Cottonwood, Watonwan aud Nobles coun
ties, but have only made small hauls. They are
harp nnd look for greener fields before the au
thorities can lay bands upon them.
STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL

OWATONNA, MINN.The instruction depart
ment of the state public school has closed for

The Jim and Joe baseball team of this city
was defeated at Waseca yesterday by the fast
little Spring Park team. The score was 14 to 13.
The ball players recently arrested for play
ing on Sunday, against whom action was dropped
because of the failure of the jury to agree,
have decided to take the case into the courts
and determine if possible the constitutionality
of the law which prohibits such playing.
The marriage of James Lennon and Miss
Helen Degner will take place this week.
Tile hearing of Wllda Johnson, accused of
attempting to poison the family of John L.
Johnson by placing parts green in the well,
has been postponed to a date to be agreed

THEY ACTUALLY
DO THE WORK.
Food Eaten Is Worthless Unless Diges-
tedSome Stomachs Must Have Help.
Food taken into the stomach which,
from the nature of the food or the
condition of the stomach, is not di
gested, is worse than no food at all.
This is a true statement as far as it
goes and a great many dyspeptics go
only this far with their reasoning. They
argue with themselves that because,
their stomachs do not do the work
given them, they must be given less
-work} in otlier -words tAiey IYIMSX loe
starved. I would be just as sensible
for a business man who is unable to do
all his own work to cut down his busi
ness to his own capacity as it is for a
man to starve himself to relieve his
Btomaeli. The sensible business man em
ploys help and goes forward with his
business. Likewise the sensible dys
peptic will employ help for his stomach
and give his body proper nourishment.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually
do the work assigned to them. They
relieve weak and overburdened stom
achs of a great portion of digestive
action. Their component parts are
identical with those of the digestive
fluids and secretions cf the stomach
and they simply take up the grind and
carry on the work iust the same as a
good, strong, healthy stomach would
do it.
On this account Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are perfectly natural in their
action and effects. They do not cause
any unnatural or violent disturbance in
the stomach or bowels. They themselves
digest the food and supply the sys
tem with all the nourishment con
tained in what is eaten and carry out
Nature's plans for the sustenance and
maintenance of the body.
How much more ,sensible is this
method than that employed by many
sufferers from weak stomachs By this
means body and brain get all the good,
nutritious food they need and the man
is properly nourished and equipped to
carry on his work and perform his
duties. He could not possibly be in
Eimaelf
roper working condition by starving
or employing some new-fangled,
insufficient food" that does not contain
enough nutriment for a year-old baby.
A strong man doing strong work must
be properly fed and this applies to the
brain as well as the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, by re
lieving the stomach of its work, enable
it to recuperate and regain its normal
health and strength. Nature repairs
the worn and wasted tissues just as she
heals and knits the bone of a broken
limb, which is, of course, not used dur
ing the process of repair.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are' for
sale by all druggists at 50 %ents a box
and they are the one article that the
druggist does not try to sell something^ EVELETH.
I in the place of that's "just as good."
Their unqualified merit and success and
i the universal demand for them has
placed them within the reach of every
one.-v.,

ANOKA ADMITS HOSPITAL
INJUNCTION AGAINST THE MOVE-
MENT FOR MORE TERRITORY IS
IGNORED BY CITY OFFICIALS.
Anoka, Minn., June 2S.The city council by
resolution has admitted the state hospital for
the insane aud the 125.o(i acres of laud of the
institution into the corporate limits of the city.
The moment the resolution passed the sheriff
served an injunction on the mayor, the presi-"
dent, the city clerk, the register of deeds
and the census enumerator restraining the city
from taking the action, from filing the neces
sary papers, from recording them and from
enumerating the- inmates in the asylum. Never
theless the papers were drawn up and have
been duly filed. The injunction was signed
by J. W. Stead as court commissioner, and cites
those named to appear 011 iJnly 17 for argu
ment.
It is alleged by those who oppose the move
ment that the' city will be put to added ex
pense that the people, if it was left to a vote,
would decide against it. The other side con
tends that the state takes care of its own
property, and that the grounds are not platted,
so the City will not be called upon to build
roads or streets.
The injunction has been ignored and the out
come will be watched with interest.
E. C. Jones of Springfield, Mo., and Mr.
Lombard, Jr., of Boston, have purchased all
the Elwell lands, comprising more than 6,300
acres, in Anoka county.. In the deal is the
Oakleaf farm in Blaine, and the purchasers
are negotiating for the Kaske farm. They say
that farming lands in and near. the big cities
constantly will increase in value, and they ex
pect to double their money.
IMPOETANT DEALS PENDING
Three Great Concerns After Remain
ing Pine on Superior's North Shore.
DULUTH, MINX.It is evident that there are
three concerns engaged in gathering in much
the remaining pine timber along the north shore
of Lake Superior between Duluth and the inter
national boundary. These three would appear to
be the Alger, Smith & Co. interests, Wright &
Davis and the Weyerhaeuser concerns. The Red
Cliff company owns a lot of timber there, so do
Akeley & Smith, Minneapolis men, and the
Lesure company, A. II. Slang, the Oliver Mining
company, Bnrdon and others. But the indications
seem to point toward the accumulation of tim
ber in th hands of these three interests.
Alger, Smith & Co. now reach to a point
back of Beaver bay with their Duluth & North
ern Minnesota railway, and are steadily extend
ing it northeasterly. There are at least 1,500,-
01MJ feet of timber yet standing in Cook county,
most of which will come out this way. The
Pigeon River Lumber company is building a road
south from Gunflint lake and has some five miles
now in operation, which connects at the lake
with the Tort Arthur, Duluth & Western for their
mill at Port Arthur. They cut for the Canadian
market, but the rest of this timber is coming
out south.
In addition to this Cook county timber there
are about 1,000,000,000 feet in Lake county, part
of which belongs to Alger,Smith & Co., part to
the Oliver Iron Mining company, part to A. H.
Stang of Merrill, part to the Bed Cliff Lumber
company and many more. It is understood that
the Alger-Smith people are estimating the re
mainder of the Nester timber on the north shore
and all but about 10,000,000 feet of the. Split
Rock timber and that' they are possible buyers
of both tracts. These are portions of the owner
ship of both concerns that are nearer the Alger
Smith road tUan tnier own.
The. 10,000,000 feet of fe'pllt Rock timber not
Included In this possible sale is a lot that the
Split Rock company will take out the coming
winter in order to wind up its operatons. Just
now there are many estimators working thru
these counties, especially in Cook, and it is
evident there are some important pine deals pend
ing there.
