GORMON ARRESTED THREESUSPECTS Trio of Counterfeiters Taken To Detroit After Being Located by Him.

GOOD CATCH IS MADE. RICHMOND MAN CREDITED WITH RUNNING DOWN BROTHERS WHO FLOODED ENTIRE COUNTY WITH SPURIOUS COIN8. Elmer A. Gormon, formerly of this city. United States secret agent returned to Detroit yesterday, after arresting three men charged with being members of a gang of counterfeiters that had flooded the country in the vicinity of St. Ignace, Mich., with spurious coin. The men under arre3t are three brothers, Herman, William and August Schimmelpfennig. Mr. Gormon is the son of Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Gormon, of this city. To run down and capture the gang of counterfeiters has required a long tedious effort. The men arc foreigners end were considered desperate characters. The secret service had been Investigating their case for some time and it was only after a clever ruse on the part of Gormon that arrests were made and evidence secured. The trio will be prosecuted In the United States court at Detroit. IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS. Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles A Richmond Citizen . Shows How to Cure Them. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back they think that It Is only a muscular weakness; when urinary trouble sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is just where the danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Brlght's disease. The best remedy to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are caused by weak or diseased kidneys. Richmond people testify to permanent cures. Enoch Cromer, living at 221 North 19th street, Richmond, Ind., says: "Railroading is said to be hard on the kidneys and the continued Jar and jolt of riding on trains got me Into a bad condition. - My kidneys became weak and there was inflammation of the bladder. Many nights there would be three or four passages of the secretions before I could get to sleep and this loss of rest made me weak, depressed and in no condition for work. Frequently I felt faint and dizzy sensations and a general feeling of lassitude and, weakness. Mr. Iliatt of the Hiatt Drug Co., advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills. I did so with good results. The backache was relieved and the kidney action became regular." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's and take no other. 'Snagging Calmon In Alaska. I saw Indians on the Chilcnt rive, fishing day and night. The fisher ma i walked along the bank carrying a poh on the end of which was a barbies? steel hook. Tossing the book end of the pole int the stream, he turned it so that the elbow rested on the bottom. Then he gently drew the pole back and forth and when he felt a fish strike the shaft he knew that a salmon was prob ably crossing over the pole, so he gave It a quick jerk, drove the hook Into the fish's side and hauled it up on the bank. this Is called snagging salmon. Forest and Stream. Work It Out. A man buys a pair of shoes for $3 and bands the shoemaker a ten dollar bill. The shoemaker goes to a grocer next door to have the bill changed and then gives his customer $7 change. After the latter has gone the grocer rushes in and declares that the ten dollar bill was a counterfeit. The shoemaker gives him five good one dollar bills, a two dollar bill and $3 in change for it. How much has the shoemaker lost? An Eager Parent. "Jack Is so brave! He went right Into the library and said to father, 'I want to marry your daughter.' " "And what did your father say?"

THE IREOIPILE'SB

Open Evenings, 8:30 1200 MILES-IMS Two Local Boys Made Cheap Trip on Motor Cycle. OVER ROADS OF ALL KINDS. Traveling only In the early morning and evening hours, so as to avoid the heat of midday, Russell Minor and Carl Wright, two local boys, have returned from a 1.20O mile motor cycle trip. The lads relate experiences not encountered very often by youths of their few years. From this city they went to Dayton, August 0, and journeyed on to Springfield, Columbus and Kenton, Ohio, thence to Chicago by way of Ft. Wayne. They returned from Chicago through Muncie. All kinds of roads were traversed by the boys and they were compelled to carry a change of clothing. Before entering a city where they intended to stop, they had to leave their machines and plunge into a stream, then don a different suit so as to appear respectably.- The gasoline consumed on the trip cost but SO cents. Only a few minor repairs had to be made to the machine and the boys attended to these by their own skill. Tragr'dr In a. Moment Chat. "How easy it is to lose your friends in this great New York I" the woman was saying. "Yesterday I stood next to a pretty, creature I thought I recognized. She turned around and exclaimed at sight of me I hadn't seen her for years, both of us right In the city all the time: " 'You don't even know what I have been through, do you? I married. Then did you know about my little baby? A girl. Here Is her picture.' She opened a locket and showed the pictures of her husband and baby. Isn't she a precious little beauty V She sighed as she shut the locket with a soft click. 'She is dead.' she told me. She lived three months.' That was all." New York Press. The Statae ot Liberty. The Colossus of Rhodes probably never brought any returns in cash to the city, but its tradition will last when everything else Rhoaeslan is entirely lost from history. So with this Statue of Liberty. It gives a welcome to every stranger who comes to America to seek his fortune in a country which has been the friend of the oppressed for centuries. It is hailed with Joy by every American who catches a glimpse of it as he returns from a sojourn in Europe. Its meaning is more apparent after a short absence from America than perhaps it was before such an experience. It is one of the few things which we have which is not commercialized. Chicago Tribune. The Wroig Line. A society which disseminates moral literature once sent a railway manager a large number of free tracts to place in the waiting rooms. One was eutitled, "A Route to the New Jerusalem." The letter which the moral literature society received in reply declined the tracts. "We cannot place the tracts." wrote the manager, "as the N. J. is not on our system." Quite a Variety. The fashionable girl had accepted him and the young man was wondering how far his ?.TO a week would go.

There is only one flag that the un never sets on the British. But the American flag Is a close second, for the sun during half the year never sets on it either. That is to say, these two are the only flags that the sun is continuously shining over, no matter what his position in the heavens the one all the year rouud and the other during exactly half the year, from March 22 to Sept 22. Of course it is true that on no day at all during the year can the suu be seen from any two points of continental United States at all times during a period of twenty-four hours. But the United States naval observatory has made careful calculations which by including Alaska, Porto Rico and the Philippines ghow that between the spring and fail equinoxes the sun never ceases to shine in the eyes of the American eagle. Perhaps nothing could make us realize how great a nation our expanded country is better than this simply astronomical fact Moreover, within these two dates there are also severaJ other pairs of eastern and western extreme points where the same condition obtains, though for much shorter times. It is not generally known, but the easternmost point In the United States and its Island possessions is in the Island of Porto Rico longitude 65 degrees 12 minutes west latitude IS degrees 20 minutes north. The weste'rnnaost point is in Balobe island, in the Philippine! longitude 110 degree 40 minutes east, latitude 8 degrees C minutes north. When the suu is at what the calendar makers call "north declination" of O dejrree 10 minute that is to say, on March 22 and on Sept 22 it rises in Porto Rico at exactly the same rime that it sets in the island .of Balobe. Between these two dates during the winter mouths the sun does set on the United States, and during the remainder of the year, the summer months, it does not Scrap Book. rtrl rl For Indigestion.
