forwarded to Chief Justice Mason whose duty ii
will be to deliver II the execution of the me-

/ CoUNTERFEIr.-A counterfeit s. bill, pnrport
ing to be issued by the Fort Wayne branch of the
State Bank of Indiana, was presented at the coun
ter of one of our banking houses on Saturday
last |, was dated April 81, 1898. The plate
was very bunglingly executed, the printing done
upon poor paper, and the note had a very slight
resemblance TO the genuine issue. Among its
other defects, 1t was too short by nearly half an
inch, and had the gnette and figures incorrectly
arranged. The scoundrel who sharp enough

able to do better than this Gin Republican,

The Globe, with characteris effronterv
aud with shameless disregard of tho re-
spect that is due 10 the memory of the dead at.
tempts to create an impression that General Har-
