Y., Avas arrested in Syracuse, N. Y., on a, warrant sworn out by the Dr. Wil liams' Medicine Co., charging him with forgery. Ou the 15th of De cember Marquisoe visited a photo- engraver in Syracuse, saying he was the representative of the Dr. Wil liams’ Medicine Co., and arranged for the making of a fu llsetof plates for the direction sheets, labels, etc., of the famous Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. News of this reached the home office, nnd nt>" time was lost in arranging for his arrest when he should return for the plates. He returned on the 15th and was accordingly arrested and is now in jail iu Syracuse awaiting examination, which occurs on March 2d. This nvrost proves to be an im portant one. In addition to various plunder, such as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc., found iu Marqiiisee’s trunk when arrested, the police also found coin both in tho trunk nnd on his person; nnd in a search of his apartments at Utica found a complete outfit for counterfeiting consisting of cruci bles, hollows, nickel, lend, bismuth, antimony, a small blacksmith forge, a charcoal furuace, and several plastcr-of-paris molds. The United States marshals want him just as Bonn us tho Dr. 'Wlllhnus* Medicine Co. are through with him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced for a long period. Iu selecting Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for his counterfeiting opera tions, he showed his knowledge of the proprietory medicine business; for these pills aro in such great demand that they nre easily' sold at any drug store in the United States. Ilis scheme was to work the country druggists and sell his imitations at a discount of from 2 per cent to 5 per cent explaining tho reduced price by the fact that lie had picked them up in small lots and at a dis count from dealers who were over stocked. By working fast and mak ing long jumps, he would hav® secured many hundreds of dollars i i n short time. The proprietors of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are most fortunate to have caught the rogue, before he had fairly started, mid I V have thus kept these spurious goods out of the market. ------------- » «#>»------------ - New York has a Legal Aid soci ety, which helps poor people who cannot afford to hire lawyers in the ordinary way.

As fruit is rapidly becoming the leading industry of the northwest, and ns this county can easily get to front rank if tho farmers will only take hold and push things, we have mndo arrangements to do far more than our share toward pushing the county forward in this respect nnd will do more if the farmers will show the proper spirit of enterprise.
