SHARP SCHEMlNG.
A Fellow by Raising Notes Gathers
in a Roll.
He Gets Away With the Plumber.

One day last week a man appeared In
this vicinity pretending to selling nursery
stock from Rochester, N. Y. His state.
ment was that he was not a salaried
agent, but was buying the stock and sell
ing 1t, for his profit, and thus con-
trolling the territory. He effected at
least two sales, one to Mr.. Spell Miller
and the other to Mr.. Bokemper, both
living outside the city. The sale to one
amounted to 50 and the other SO, and he
took notes for these small amounts, pay.
able in the fall. The notes were In the
form of printed blanks, which he had
filled out, and the men had signed. AZ
forwards it seemed that he added two
ciphers to the 50 in one case, and to the
| SO In the other case, and wrote the word
hundred" in between the written
1.-TWO" and the printed "Dollars," there
being plenty of space on the dotted line,
and no dash of the pen to prevent. In
this way he raised the notes from 50 and
SO to 5000 and $500. On Saturday he
called on MI. j. w. Rodefer, who is in
the brokerage business, and wanted to
sell the notes. Mr.. Rodefer, with his
usual precaution, took the pains to In
quire as to the credit of the parties, the
genuineness ofthe signatures, and being
satisfied by the information which he
thus gained of responsible parties, who
were posted in regard to the standing,
and familiar with the sigma
lures of the parties, he entered
into negotiations with the nursery.man
for the purchase of the notes at a dis
count. He paid the fellow only a por-
ton of the amount agreed upon, the
seller to come In yesterday and get the
rest. In the meantime Mr.. Rodefer
sent notice to Mr.. Miller and to Mr..
Bokemper that he had their notes, des-
cribing them, and that if they desired to
pay them before due he would make a
reasonable discount. This called out the
denial of these men that they had signed
notes to any such amount, and the game
became clear. The fellow had not shown
up for the balance of the
money, and as nearly as could be ascer-
Chicago, and has doubtless ere this put a
sufficient number of miles between him
self and Council Bluffs to render any
further search for him useless. The
fellow gave his anne as Thayer, but
probably has other alias, 30 that even
this gives little or no clue by which to
follow him up. 1t seems almost useless
to repeat the old advice to beware of
signing any sort of papers presented by
strangers, for the advice seems to be un.
needed, even by those who ought to heed
it most.

The Observation-Disclosures.

Superintendent Mathews has filed
with the county treasurer the following
report of the institute fund and of the
normal institute Just closed:
Teachers enrolled, 800; on hand at
last report, S756. 10; examination fees re-.
ceived and paid to treasurer, 1894. 90; reg
istration fees received and paid treas
urer, 5000 90; state appropriation, $50
90; total 81, 242 10; paid instructors and
lecturers, $500. 90 !. incidental expenses,
Sl28, 80; total, $62S 80; balance of fund
un%expended, SGl3.S5.
1t will be seen that the fund is smaller
than at the close of the normal last year,
or at the time Of the report, but to in-
clude the fees for examination of teach.

the close of this month, will bring the
amount up to about the same, and at the

published the result Of It's investigation Of
the unfounded charge that BLAINE sup
pressed four Of tho MULLIaAN letters.
Modesty and the great pressure Of important

several columns with very gratifying express
sions OF confidence In THE SUNS impartiality
and good judgment. But 1t seems to us that

raries who, like the Chicago Inter- Ocean,

candid acts ever performed in American
Journalism" or who hold, with the Hon.
ELLIS H. RoBERTs in the Utica Herald, that
nothing quite like 1t has been seen In recent

too high an estimate on Nh act Of simple,
everyday justice.
We really hope that our esteemed Republic
can contemporaries will be as quick to rec

to believe regarding Brother BLAINE.
