ClIECK-RAISING.
4 Fifteen Thousand Dollar Job and
Several Parties Yet to Hear From.

~
Several Parties Yet to Hear From.
Several parties of this city were quite
severely bit by neat financial trick
tried by one Mr.. Joseph Wiedner, of
this city. Wiedner is young man,
about twenty-eight years OF age, and
has been acting as broker In this city
for some considerable time. He did
very little business, but was always re-
garded as all honest and well meaning
young man.
The trick tried by Wiedner is an old
one, frequently resorted to, but seldom
accomplished. Drawing three checks
on the Hibernia bank for Sal so, ST.,
and S3S, he managed to change these
checks to larger amounts by simply
removing the dots between the dollars
and cents. Thus 81. 80 became $4l5O,
and $500, $500
Before having effected this legerde-
main he got the checks for the smaller
amounts certified TO by the banks.
When, therefore, they were changed,
they bore all the appearance of per-
fectly good checks, and Wiedner found
no difficulty in negotiating them. Mr..
Leon GodchauX took one of these
checks for S7l00, Mr.. Peter Helwege
one for S4l50, and Mr.. j. Strauss one
for $3.50, making total of $4,000. 1t
was only after these checks had been
deposited by these gentlemen in the
banks, and when the bank runners had
met at the clearing house to arrange
exchange, that the forgery or alteration
was discovered. Wiedner was then far
away from the city, having left, it Is
understood, on the earliest train.
Besides the money that he obtained
in this manner, it is believed that
Wiedner carried off some $4,000 to
500, 900 i'm securities, bonds, gold bonds,
etc. The police are on his track, with
"a good chance of catching him.
1t appears that these. raised checks
were used by Wiedner to redeem city
bonds, chiefly of the ten per cent and
gold class, which Messrs. Helwege,
Strauss and Godchaux held in pledge,
and on which they had previously
loaned him money. The bulk of the
swindle, therefore, is expressed in city
securities instead of cash, and as the
victimized parties have the numbers
and classes of the bonds there is yet n
prospect of Identification and recov-
cry.
Wiedner did not leave Tuesday after
noon, as was at first supposed. Several
persons saw him at 800 that evening,
and il is presumed that he missed the
train. He can not be found now, how
ever, which practically amounts to the
same thing.-L Picayune, 9th.

CATTLE KING.

We were pleased, on yesterday, to
have call from Mr.. q. w. Slaughter,
who Is known in Kansas US the Cattle
King of the Neosho valley.
Mr.. Slaughter was engaged for many
years in the cattle trade in this state,
but removed about three year, ago to
Emporia, Kansas, on account of the
very superior advantages presented by
that city as shipping point. He is
largely engaged now in driving cattle
from Texas and wintering them in
Kansas. Mr.. Slaughter is the father
of Mr.. G. G. Slaughter of this state,
who, by the magnitude of his opera
tions, has earned the title of the Cattle
King of Texas.
We regret to learn from Mr.. Slaugh-
ter that in consequence of drouth and
the chintz bug the prospects of corn
crop in Kansas are far from tlattering.

While Cooley is rather thin reading
for man who can find anything else to

information out of each number
about cooking and making chill

tains fully the reputation of the maya
zine.
"Our First Hundred Years" is the

The Town of Hutchins.

TO the Editor oil the Dallas Herald:
recently visited the above town. 1t
is pleasantly and beautifully located in
the midst of a large body of most fer
tile soil. On the south and west the
prairie stretches out to a considerable
distance On the east an abundance
of valuable timber is to be found. The
soil of the surrounding country is gem
orally of the character called "black
waxy." These lands, which are con-
sidered among the very best, can be
purchased ut from five to ten dollars
per acre, according TO quality and To-
cality. Lands Immediately adjoining
the town tract at Hutchins are offered
at ten dollars per acre, without a pur-
chaser. The health is considered good.
A union Sunday school, well con-
Quoted and with a numerous attend
anee, has been organized at Hutchins.
Colonel w. J. Hutchins, in honor of
whom the town was named, generously
contributed to it the requisite amount
of suitable literature.
No denomination has yet erected in
Hutchins church edifice. Who will
take the initiative in this important
matter? Doubtless the town and sur
rounding community would generously
aid in so praiseworthy an enterprise.
Immigrants would do well to investi-
gate the claims of the country contigu-
Gus to the town of Hutchins. 1t is on
the Texas Central railroad, some ten
miles south of Dallas. j..

Fraud Loves n Shining Mark.

A great medicine is always a target for
fraud. Shallow cheats, without the talent to
originate anything useful, or the decency to
permit an article OF superior excellence TO
perform its mission, without striving to
turn dishonest penny by attempting to
substitute trash In its place, are now on
gagged in initiating and counterfeiting Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, the most popular
tonic and restorative in the civilized world.
A brood of local bitters, mixtures of dam
aged drugs with worse liquor, has cropped
out all over the country. Although the sales
ofthese pernIcious Stops are too insignificant
to affect the interests of n staple remedy, 1t
seems a duty to warn the public against
them. The color of the true specific may be
simulated. but its cures OF dyspepsia, liver
complaint, rheumatism, intermittent fever,
constipation, nervous debility, ETC., can not
be initiated.

POLITICS IN ALABAMA.

The democrats of Alabama, wearied
out with futile efforts to lead the col
ored people away from the malign in
fuences of carpetbag and native born
thieves, have determined to cease all
further endeavor in that direction, and
to plant themselves squarely on the
issue that white men must rule the
state. The following is one Of a series
of resolutions that was adopted by q
large meeting in Gilmore county last
week:
Resolved, That the best interest of
both races requires that the govern
ment of the state should be exclusively
under the control of the white people.

An express just in for military assist

thirty Indians attacked j. G. Loving's
rancho, about fifteen miles distant, to-
day at twelve o'clock. After II severe
fight with half their number of whites,
the Indians got off with several horses
and killing one man, named Heath.

Railroad and Anti.RailrOad- Anti
Railroad Not the Policy for Texas.

1t is significant that the opposition
to Governor ThrOcllmorton for con-
gress is based entirely on the ground
that he is q railroad man-as though
it were both the foundation and the
summit of all political virtue to beOp-
posed to railroads.
For example, the Denison News adj
mits the eminent past services of Gov
ernor Throckmorton; admits his ster-
ling patriotism, his unblemished char
acter, and his superior ability. But
then he has rendered professional SER
vices to the International Railway
company, and has devoted much time
and labor to other railway enterprises
in which Texas is especially concerned,
and this fact, it is held, ought to be a
fatal bar to his election to congress by
a Texas constituency.
1t seems that Governor ThrOckmOr-
toms agency in the work of developing
Il great railway system in Texas is not
open to denial. If the truth of the
charge that he has been an active, able
and efficient railroad man, implies his
unfitness to represent in congress a dis
trict which owes more to railroads,
and has more to expect from railroads,
than almost any other, then his case
is hOpeless-he stands convicted.
But just here we venture to advance,
for the estimable and distinguished
gentleman who is thus arraigned, a
plea of confession and avoidance.
Just here we broadly assert that for
n man of his intelligence, of his rela-'
tions, of his influence, not TO have
been a railroad man, would have been

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

The Houston Telegraph concludes an
able article on the third term question
as follows:
Grant will not commit himself TO a
candidacy. He is prudent man. He
will not go in the face of manifest
public opinion. He is now no doubt
sounding that opinion. In due time
he will ascertain and accept it, as he
has done heretofore, and shape his
course accordingly. The next presi-
dent will be Il democrat or the most
liberal republican who can he induced
to accept the republican nomination.
He will be either a democrat, or the
nearest to being 80 possible, and be a
republican,.
