FOSTER BROTHER’S HAPPY IDEA INSTRUCTIONS WERE GIVEN MAKE PERSONAL DELIVERY. =O The Lad Was Found in His Mothers Custody at Altocna, Pa., | Taken Away From the Woman. and CHICAGO, April 12.— written by by another, A registered letter, one schoolboy and rec has solved the mystery, which followed the kidnapping of John Bernard Moffitt last August from the house Pn -_ foster parents, 5228 Adams-street. *h year-old boy, for whom been looking in vain. « Justina Willman, carried him away fron Chicago, received and rec eipted for the letter himself at the residence of an uncle in Altoona, Wis. The employment-of a locate the missing Attorney Moffitt by an examinutio recently in the school to test the pupi': letter-writing. When Frank Moffitt, years old, mentioned that he had a test message a lucky idea occurred to his father. “Write a letter to Bernie,”’ said ‘hie father. “Perhaps the little fellow might ge it. 4AVe will send it to Eau Claire, Wis., as that is the last place we heard he was in.” Frank wrote the letter, and it was sent by registered mail. On the same train went another letter, this from Mr. Moffitt to the postmaster of the town, directing him to deliver the first to no one but the boy him- self, and to make him sign for it. If he did not call for it the postmaster was directed to forward the letter to Altoona. The boy was not found in Eau Claire, but at Altoona the plan succeeded. Young Moffit signed the receipt. The return slip was sent to Mr. Moffitt in Chi- cago. Mr. Moffitt then consulted an at- torney at Eau Clalre and secured a writ of habeas corpus. When the child was brought into court the defendant, Anton Willman. the uncle, secured a continuance till next Monday. The boy was placed in the cus- tody of the justice of the peace, James J. McMahon. John BRernard Moffitt. or ‘‘Bernie’’ Moffitt, is the son of Justina Willman. When the child was an infant it was taken, with its mother, to Mr. Moffitt's home. The county records show that on June 29, 1895, Gusta Willman consented to waive all rights and claims to her child. Last August she took the boy out for a car ride and this was the last seen of him until he was found in His mother is supposed to have Wis., last November.

SEATTLE, Wash., Aprtl 12.—Col. J. C. McCook, United States consul for the Klon- dike, whose dangerous illness was an- nounced in Dawson advices a few days ago, was reported dead by the Whitehorse Trib- une of April 4. On that date the paper pub- lished what purported to be a Dawson special to the effect that the consul had died of pneumonia. However, the same day the Whitehorse agent of the Whitehorse & Yukon Railroad told A. J. Morris of Daw- son that the announcement was premature; that Col. McCook wag still alive, but at | death's door. Col. McCook is sald to have contracted neumonia while going to Dawson from his hiladelphia home. TO TRY FOR A RECORD.

In these days of humbuggery and de- ception the manufacturers of patent medicines, as a rule, seem to think their medicines will not sell unless they claim that it will cure every disease under the sun. And they never think of leaving out dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They are sure to claim that their nostrum is ab- solutely certain to cure every dyspeptic and he need look no further. In the face of these absurd claims it is refreshing to note that the proprietors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have care- fully refrained from making any undue claims or false representations regarding the merits of this most excellent remedy for dyspepsia and stomach troubles. They make but one claim for it, and that is, that for indigestion and various stomach troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is a radical cure. They go no farther than this, and any man or woman suffering from indigestion, chronic or nervous dy S- pepsia, who will give the remedy a trial will find that nothing is claimed for it, that the facts will not fully sustain. It is a modern discove ry, composed of harmless vegetable ingredients accept- ‘ipted for | nano Presents irresistible allurementsespecially to the young people.
