SPECTACULAR LIFE OF PLESS
Kaiser Wm His Friend BcUlngham
Man TFho Mysteriously DI.Mear
cl Formerly Li ted in Germany,
From Wliere lie Also Vanished.
East Oregonlan readers will remem
ber the interest that was aroused in
Pendleton and Umatilla county nearly
two years ago by the announcement
that the body of Curt Pless, a myste
rious giant and prominent business
man of Belllngham, Washington, had
been found in a rude box on the bank
of the Columbia river, north of this I
city. It will also be remembered that
relatives finally decided the body
found was that of some other giant.
To those who followed the details
of the case at that time the following
will contain much of interest:
Olympla, Wash., Jan. 18. "The
building up of cities in a short time
Is not confined to Washington nor to
the United States," satd Gustav Voll
mer, representative from Walla Walla
in discussing the reapportionment
question. "My fourth cousin, Carl
Prltchau, who went by the name of i
Curt Pless In Belllngham. built up a
town In Germany from 200 to 20,000
j people in a few short years, and then
I when pressed financially disappear,
i ed. He did the same thing In Belling
j ham, I understand."
When Representative Vollmer made
i that statement he threw the first light
that has been given on the mystery
of the past of Curt Pless, the Belllng
ham business man who disappeared
J from that city In December, 1908. and
j who since has not been heard from.
The big German stood seven feet four
Inches In his stocking feet: could
heave a sack of grain from the side
walk onto the top or a loaded dray
or handle a bale of hay himself. That
such a man who was conspicuous In
a crowd of 6000 persons could disap
pear is what baffled the Belllngham
police.
PritMoliau Was a Soldier.
Mr. Vollmer says that he practical
ly grew up with Carl Prltschau. who
afterwards became Curt Pless; He did
not see Pless from the time Pless was
19 years old: that was In 1889. when
he left him in the little town of Ben-
reth In Rhine province.
Then Carl went Into the army to
serve out his time as a soldier of the
kaiser of Germany. The big fellow
t soon attained a nation-wide fame, for 1
he was the "longest man" In the Ger- !
; man army, as Mr. Vollmer says. So j
! good-natured and affable was he that
he was selected as swimming lnstruc- j
tor for the children of the emperor.
; Later when his time was up he en
gaged in the feedmill business and
j prospered in a small way. One time
! while Carl was making a trip to the 1
j North Sea on a. big boat, the emper
or's yacht passed by and finally came
to anchor. The kaiser through his
j glasses observed his former soldier J
and sent a messenger for. him. He !
' greeted the young man kindly and
I made inquiries concerning him and his
i welfare, and asked about his bust- I
ness. The swimming master told him
how he was getting along.
Not long afterwards he began to
get orders from the German army for j
feed and hft little mill had to be en- ;
larged. Bigger and bigger grew the '
orders and Carl's mill had to- be in- :
creased in capaciy the second time,
and a then a third, while he began j
buying his supplies In car and then
train lots.
He grew more and more wealthy '
We know of no other medicine which has been so suc
cessful in relieving the suffering of women, or secured so
many genuine testimonials as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
In almost every community you will find women who
have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. AlAost every woman you meet has
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who has.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files con
taining over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health by
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is made ex
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.
Coloma, Wisconsin. " For three years I was
(troubled with female weakness, irregularities,
backache and bearing down pains. I saw an ad
vertisement of Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and decided to try it. After taking
several bottles I found it was helping me, and I
must say that I ani perfectly well now and can
not thank you enough for what Lydia E. Pink-
I ham's Vegetable Compound has done for nie."
Mrs. John Wentland, It. F. !., No. 3, Box CO,
Coloma, Wisconsin.
Women who are suffering from those dis
tressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of
these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. to restore their health.
and then took a big plunge In land.
He bought up several hundred acres
of property near a small town and (
then set out a great advertising
scheme. He erected houses at va
rious places in his township, and on
the strength of these Induced others I
to buy. His own was advertised all
ever Germany and as rar as Paris and I
Rome.
Finally he began to get returns and
ha irrew TnnrA wealthv -4hnn ever he-'
fore. But there came a tightening of i
j money. He needed cash, but refused
to ask for aid and then suddenly van
ished. The bankers sought to find ,
him to straighten him out; the- peo- j
pie of the city are considering erect-
ing a monument In his honor, but
Pless is somewhere In the wide world
where none of his friends, nor even
his wife, can locate him.
Mr, Vollmer states that he knows
little of his history with any degree
of accuracy after he left Germany,
I as all after that was hearsay. Carl,
i he declares, was always a "high roll-
er," a man who would take a chance
j and a person who liked to spend his
money. He does not think woman
, caused his troubles In Germany any
! more than they did in Belllngham. Mr,
; Vollmer did not even know until re
cently that Pless was married and he
! has never met the wife.
He Identifies Curt PleM.
I . It was wlille Pless was In Belllng
ham that Vollmer first heard of him. 1
A Chicago wine merchant who grew
up- with the two cousins In Germany
said he saw Pless tn Belllngham,
walked up to him and said:
"Carl Prltschau, you can't fool your
old friend. You may be Curt Pless,
or Curt Von Pless In Belllngham, but
in Germany you were Carl Prltschau,"
and the accused admitted the truth
of the statements.
All Trace. Is Ijont.
No case in Washington caused the
comment that was brought up when
Curt Pless dropped out of Belllng
ham. He was traced to Mount Ver
non, then to Everett, but there all
trace ended and Pless vanished. A
few weeks after he left a child was
born. Mrs. Pless Is supporting her
self and little one by teaching Ger
man and French to society people of
Belllngham, as she Is highly educated
and refined.
When Pless vanished he left his fi
nancial affairs In bad shape. There
are now a couple of warrants out for
his arrest, but they were secured
merely to get the police interested, as
none of his friends would prosecute
him and there are a dozen men In
Belllngham ready to advance him any
amount he needs.
With a little and and business judg
ment the property he bought for a
home and upon which he erected a
handsome bungalow, overlooking the
Sound, was straightened out for his
wife. Upon their arrival In Belllng
ham they Immediately began to move
In the best social circles and were re
ceived everywhere. Many stories of
his tenderness for his wife are told.

OL.UK8T APPLE TREE
OX COAST IXUXI
A. A. Quarnberg, district fruit In
spector, discovered and Identified the
old'-st apple tree on the Pacific coast
recently and Colonel McGunnegle of
Vancouver Barracks, Wash., com
mander of the post, has ordered that
a fence be constructed around the
aged fruit bearer. In the near future
a tablet bearing its history will be
erected near the tree. The tree was
planted years ago by early officers of
the Hudson Bay company from seeds
carried In their pockets from Eng
land. Mr. Quarnberg believes the tree
to be about 85 years old. A passage
, ln a history of the early settlers has
the following to say concerning the
origin of the tree: "A a lunch party
In London about 1825, given In hon
or of some young gentlemen who were
About to embark for Fort Vancouver
in the employ of the Hudson Bay
company, aeeda of the fruit eaten
were slyly slipped by some young la
dles Into the waistcoat pockets of the
young men, and upon their arrival at
their destination the young men, in
overhauling their wardrobes discov
ered the seeds and gave them to
Bruce, the gardncr at the fort."
The busiest and mightiest 1 lttle
thing that ever was made Is) Chamber
lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
They do the work whenever you re
quire their aid. The tablets change
weakness Into strength, Uatlessness in
to energy, glomlnesa Into Joyouanesa.
Their action la so gentle one don't
realize they have taken a purgative.
Bold by all dealer.
