LOOK OUT FOR ALTERED BILLs.-The
practice Of some Of our Western Banks issuing
bills printed in one color With the denomins-
ton expressed in figures in the upper corners
| only and in words on a small slpiu the middle
Of the bills is doing q serious injury. The
Chicago Press says that the one and two dol
lars bills OF these banks are being altered to
represent tens with frightfm rapidity and the
amount of bills so altered not in the hands Of
innocent parties is already lazl and constant.
ly increasing. Bankers say that they are Of
fered for deposit every day and almost every
hour in the day, and many Of them are so vel
done as to defy detection By any one but an
expert bank teller. The four banks issuing the
worst bill, of this description are the "Kanka.
kse Bank" "Ohio River Bank" "BaDk Of
Brooklyn" and "Wheat Growers Bank"
Here in Davenport we are seldom troabled
to very closely scrutinize bills of any denomi
nation or description save those presented by
taiors, grocsrs and dry gooGs dealers. We are
blessed Tor curssd) with any quantity Of that
kind Of currency
