IM North Center St. ELECTED THE FAVORITE Shattered Nerves. Made Strong and Vigorous by a New Method. As the strength of a chain equals only the strength of the weakest link, so if the body only as strong as the weakest organ. The source of all vital energy which operates the organs is contained in and furnished by the nerves, therefore the strength of the organs is equal only to that of the nerve, no more nor less. The nervous system is the storehouse of physical energy. A well-regulated nervous system has in store at all times enough energy for almost any emergency. When the supply becomes low, the body is attacked by sickness which is severe according to the lack of nerve force. The trouble at a stomach, liver, kidneys, brain, heart, or any organ. The reason that one organ is weak or shows signs of sickness, while the others are strong and healthy, is because the nerves cannot furnish vital energy enough for all and the supply to someone must be curtailed. The neglected organ becomes sick and displays what is commonly called "sympathy," or locates the weak spot. Branoroft, Hiab. The organ may be perfect and simply lacks energy to put it into healthy action, as the machine lacks power to put it in motion. New nervous energy must be generated in the nervous system. "When this is done, the organ becomes healthy and the sick symptoms disappear. To generate the natural elements necessary to make healthy nerve matter which are albumin, fat, ozmozo, and phosphorous, a preparation of nerve food containing these elements must be supplied, and it in this particular function that Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer excels, and it is the secret of its success in curing not only nervous diseases, but all diseases caused in any way by nerve weakness. Dr. Wheeler makes no secret of what Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer is composed. Because he wishes his patients to know how and why they are cured. Physicians and scientific chemists marvel at the potent power of Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer that cures absolutely and permanently every form of nervous disease regardless of its name or cause. J. Harvey Hutchings, Bancroft, Mich., writes as follows: "I wish to state for the benefit of suffering humanity that I have found in Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer a veritable boon to those needing a nerve builder. In 1883 I received an injury which resulted in lateral curvature of the spine. After three operations the curvature was straightened, but the weakness was still there and my nervous system was quite badly shattered. For days at a time I was unable to lie down and would go without sleep as long as nature would allow, and then, by the use of chloral, obtain some rest and go on again to live the same thing over again year in and year out. I used every known remedy in materia medica and every nerve medicine, but all with the same effect. I at last tried Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer and the results have been happy beyond all expectation. I can sleep as well as anyone and have gained in flesh from 142 pounds two years ago to 190 pounds now. I know what I am talking about when I say Wheeler's is the best, as I have been selling drugs for the past twenty years and handling medicines for nearly twenty-five years."

Two True Bills Found Against the Financial Sorceress, Charging Forgery, BASED UPON CARNEGIE NOTES. In Reynolds, Tells the Whole Miserable Story of the Woman's Duplicity in Connection With the Transactions Based on the Supposed Securities in His Possession. Cleveland, Dec. 13.—Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick was twice indicted last evening by the grand jury of Cuyahoga county, her old-time friend, Iri Reynolds, having taken the stand in court and made evident his intention to shield and protect her no longer. The aged secretary of the Wade Park bank presented a pathetic picture as he answered question after question, which brought out his own implicit faith in the woman whose fiscal transactions have well-nigh ruined him financially. He gave evidence, too, that he still believes his trust was justified. Only one query he attempted to evade. This was when he was asked how much of his personal estate had passed into the possession of Mrs. Chadwick. His eyes filled and he requested that he be excused from answering. The question was not pushed. The formal indictments voted against Mrs. Chadwick are based, one. Upon the Carnegie note for $2,260,000, which was made payable at the office of Andrew Carnegie in New York City, and the other upon the Carnegie note for $500,000, which was made payable at the National Bank of Commerce in New York. Under each indictment are two counts, one charging forgery, the other uttering of forged paper. Information of the indictments was at once wired to New York by County Prosecutor Keeler, and he requested that Mrs. Chadwick be immediately re-arrested if she secured bail on the other charges hanging over her. Has No Assets. The examination of Iri Reynolds, treasurer and secretary of the Wade Park bank, before Referee Remington, in the bankruptcy court yesterday, failed to disclose assets that might be received by Receiver Loeser appointed by the federal court, but brought from Mr. Reynolds in reply to questions, the statement: "She told me she was the illegitimate daughter of Carnegie." Later, Mr. Reynolds, Installing his transactions with Mrs. Chadwick, said: "In all my transactions with Mrs. Chadwick, I believed from what she told me, that Andrew Carnegie was backing her and all her indebtedness would be paid." He then added: "And I have not heard anything yet to make me doubt it." Mr. Reynolds was asked if he knew of Mrs. Chadwick ever having diamonds, and he replied that he had seen diamonds that he said had been pledged in New York and were inventories at $989,000. He had also seen them at the house. He did not know, however, where they were now. The witness appeared anxious to help the officials in every way, and volunteered much information. One question caused him to bridle somewhat, however, and his reply was most pathetic. He was asked how much his personal loans to her had amounted to, and he said in a vice trembling with emotion: "Please excuse me from answering that. I'm willing to tell all I know of this affair, but I'm going to stay right here in Cleveland. I'm not going to run away. I'm going to stay here and take my medicine. I want to see the other debts paid." Mr. Reynolds' memory was faulty as to dates and he was frequently corrected by Attorney Andrew Squire who sat near him. The examination was made by Attorney Grossman, the law partner of Receiver Loeser. That $5,000,000 Note. After the preliminary questioning, Mr. Reynolds said he had known Mrs. Chadwick seven or eight years and Dr. Chadwick all his life. In detailing how he came into possession of the $5,000,000 note bearing the name of Andrew Carnegie, he said: "Mrs. Chadwick called me to her house, I think it was March 5, 1903, and said she wished to trust to me some securities. She said she had been advised to place them in the possession of a third party, and she wanted me to take care of them." This is the package which was opened last Friday night in the presence of Mr. Reynolds and Attorney Stearn by Attorney Andrew Squire. The package was produced in court and Mr. Reynolds identified the Carnegie note, the mortgage deed, and the copies of an alleged trust. agreement. Continuing, the witness said: "She then handed me a paper to sign." This paper witness said he did not have with him but as near as he could remember it read: "I certify that I hold in trust for Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick securities and a note for $5,000,000." Mr. Reynolds would not swear to the wording but it was to that effect. The note was not endorsed, but he had no doubt that the alleged maker of the note was behind the woman. The contents of the package were identified separately by Mr. Reynolds and at the request of the examining counsel he marked each paper as an exhibit. The $5,000,000 note was marked Exhibit A and this is the first time it has been seen outside of the numerous lawyers interested in the case. A Banking Secret. Asked as to other transactions subsequent to 1903, Mr. Reynolds said: "There is one, it is a little banking secret, but I am willing to tell all. She came to me, I think it was in 1904, and said she had $12,000 in paper payable at the Prudential Trust Company. If I would let her have the money she would put up United States Steel bonds in the morning as collateral. I consulted my committee and with their consent I loaned her the money. The next day she brought a package which she said contained $200,000 in United States Steel bonds and a $250,000 certificate, which I was to hold in trust for her under the same conditions as the previous package. I held these until a month ago when in the presence of several gentlemen they were opened. It was about the time Mr. Newton began his suit. They contained bonds all right, but they were not Steel bonds." When asked what they were, Mr. Reynolds said "there were five $1,000 bonds of the Home Telegraph Company of Niagara, N.Y., and six certificates of the Buckeye Fish Company." Just before he was appointed custodian of this last package Mr. Reynolds says Mrs. Chadwick came to the bank one afternoon with a package she said contained Steel bonds. "There were as many as you could carry in your two arms," he said. "She left them in." The vault, and when she returned from Europe, she took them away, saying she had been advised to put such a vast amount of valuable paper in a better vault." Mr. Reynolds understood she was to take them to New York or Pittsburgh. At one time he said she made a written statement to his committee that she had over $2,000,000 in bonds in the safety vault in the Wade Park bank. Made Repeated Efforts. Repeated efforts on the part of Mr. Reynolds to close up the dealings with Mrs. Chadwick met with excuse and delay. He was put off time after time, yet did not lose confidence. He detailed in one instance that on May 11, 1904, when he went to New York expecting to settle the entire affair, Mrs. Chadwick was in consultation with a number of lawyers and after waiting two days he returned to Cleveland without seeing her. He had read the trust agreement but had never seen the signature. Mrs. Chadwick told him the original was in the package he held. He confidently believed everything would be paid up to a week ago, and had no suspicion of anything wrong until a few days before Mr. Newton brought his suit. Then his attorney, Mr. Carver, of Boston, called at the Wade Park bank and said he understood that he held some securities of Mrs. Chadwick's and showed him a paper assigning all her right and title to Reynolds' holdings. Several notes of $10,000 each, payable to Dr. Chadwick had been taken up by Mr. Reynolds. He declared they were payable out of any money that might have been on credit to Mrs. Chadwick in the First National bank of Cleveland on August 20. Some of these were paid and in February or March, 1904, money was placed to her credit in this bank. Mr. Reynolds thought money came from the east to pay all these and felt assured that what he had was all. Right. He was further assured when Judge Olcott of New York came to Cleveland and was introduced to him over the telephone by Mrs. Chadwick. Judge Olcott assured him that he would relieve Mrs. Chadwick from her unenviable position. He knew Judge Olcott was here because he was assured by a check for $1,500 signed by Judge Olcott he received the next day. He last saw Mrs. Chadwick November 10. She desired to go east and had no money. He cashed a check on the Lincoln Trust Company of New York. It was returned marked "account closed." He took it out of the Wade Park bank, paid it and has it in his possession. He brought the Newton debt to her attention and advised her to go east and raise the money and settle the whole affair, and he thought she went east to see Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Reynolds came away from New York, he says, because he did not have money enough to stay there two hours. She has fooled me, and many men smarter than me," he said. "She has pulled the wool over everybody's eyes." Then with a faint smile as the humor appealed to him despite his troubles, he said: "Once she wrote to me to ask if I needed help because of the run on the bank." Still another incident was detailed by the witness. "When Mrs. Chadwick was in Europe," he said, "she wrote that Dr. Chadwick was in the hospital seriously ill, the daughter was also ill and she was in sore distress. Emil came home to save expenses, and here he was taken with typhoid fever. She cabled me that she had no money and sent her $15,000. The shock of Emil's illness made her seriously ill and when she arrived here she was thought to be dying. She then told me where, if anything happened to her, I would find a letter to Mr. Carnegie, and he would settle all her indebtedness." Witness had seen no other notes but had seen a check which was sent to his house when he was ill. It was for $60,000 and had Andrew Carnegie's name signed to it. Whether any money was ever procured on it he did not know. As to the value of Mrs. Chadwick's household fittings, Mr. Reynolds said he thought they might be worth about $200,000. He said he took a chattel mortgage about two years ago, but had never recorded it. This concluded the examination of Mr. Reynolds and the hearing was put over until Saturday for the presence of further witnesses. These, it is understood, are Mrs. Chadwick and her son Emil. They are not in this city by that time the examination will be put over still further. Fight Will be Bitter.

Jackson, Miss., Dec. 13.—Governor Vardaman was the principal speaker at the opening of the corn and cotton carnival yesterday. The burden of his song was that the fifteenth amendment would be repealed and a sixteenth adopted. He would have the south propose the sixteenth amendment and not wait for the north to repeal the fifteenth, after which "We can then say to those people of the north 'We have done it as far as we are able to do it, and we are going to continue to do it.' If you have the power and the federal government has the power, come and drive the governor from the office in the city of Jackson. You have the power to put bayonets at the ballot boxes.
