Dangerous So silver certificates are in
circulation in Chicago. Many merchants
have found them in their tills, and num-
Der of them have been passed at the banks.
They are we'll executed and calculated to
deceive the unwary, but little care will
enable one to distinguish them from the
genuine. The lathe scroll work in the
counterfeit is far from good, while the
quality of ink appears to be better than
that used by the Government. The very
best means Of detecting the new counter
felt is by the printed imitation of the silk
thread running entirely across the back Of
there are two of these silk threads,
while others have but one. On the back
of the counterfeit is printed one straight
line across the bill. With pin or knife
this deception can be discovered instantly.

Auditor Ward Reports the Reser-

Pass.--More Credit to Dawes---
How the Governor Stands.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, March 16. - Auditor
James A. Ward reached this city yes
terday on his way to Bismarck from
Washington. In an interview he ex-
presses the belief that the Sioux reser-
walton bill will readily pass the senate,
and be as readily signed by the presi-
dent. The bill which the house has
passed is substantially the Dawes bill.
and, inasmuch as Dawes is chairman of
the committee having charge of the bill,
Mr.. Ward says there is no need to
worry about it being passed. Senator
Dawes" said Mr.. Ward, ''has worked
continuously and persistently for this
bill. and it is strange that Dakota
people give him so little credit as they
do. i called on the president and
he gave me to understand that he would
sign the bill.'' Mr.. Ward added, ''There
is no truth in the report that Coy.
Church'S recommendations are not re-
ceived by President Cleveland. Mr..
president this question point blank the
other day, and he said that he would
consider Church's recommendations,
That if he should listen to every man
who proffered advice or volunteered
suggestions, he would find himself in
confusion thrice COMPOUNDED" This
appears to confirm the general idea here
entertained as to the relationship be-
tween Dakota'S governor and the presi-
dent.

Charlie Ogden, the well-known CORE

standing on the corner of Fifteenth and

Wormley's hotel, discussing the tariff

planning his theory for the attractabil-
ity between red hair and a white horse,
a progressing young lady, evidently a
widow. passed the two and gave a hest
tating glance at the red-haired colonel.
The lady's action was commented on
by the two gentlemen, and while they
were endeavoring to account for the
glance, the lady, who had advanced
some distance, retraced her steps to
where the gentlemen stood, and, going
up to Col. Ochiltree, she said: 81 beg

The lady then apologized and contin-

gazing at her retreating figure until it
