the eyes of the stiff-necked official, he
introduced his business without waiting
to be prompted.

"That may be, sir; but what claim
have you on this road? We can't do it

The villain hesitated, but was not

"See here! Where are the overseera

"Well, ! happen to be one Of them
myself. Why?'
"Then want You to send me TO the

by stranger who introduced himself as
kizer, of Hammond, III. The stranger
offered Helm several cars of grain for 5000.
which Helm accepted. The following day
bills iading for seven or eight addition al
cars were received by Helm, who RENTED
$500 more. A few days later the two met
at the fair in Hammond, ILL.,. when Kizer
succeeded in getting Helm to put
him on financial footing with Busey's
bank. of Urbana, Illinois, and but
a day or two interviewed before
kizer presented bills of lading
from J. s. Lapham, Of Detroit. on which
the bank advanced him $2,50O. A few
days later Kizer wrote the First Nat onal
bank, of Danville, H., inclosing bills OF lad
ing for ten carloads of grain on Wardwell
Mcintyre, of New York. and requesting
that 81 $50 be expressed to Kizer Bros,
Iyesdale, III. The bank refused the re-
quest and sent the bills of lading with a
draft to kiZer Bros, Hammond. This was
the firms first intimation Of crookedness
going on i'll their name and they notified
the bank that the entire transaction was a
forgery. The total number of bills forged
by the spurious kizer were on thirty five
c uloads of grain ON prominent New York,
Detroit and Cincinnati firms. The only
losers are j. w. Helm. $4,000, aid
Busey's bank, $500, who have made good
the losses to the gram firms. The identity
of the swindler and forger remains undis-
covered.

THE FEVER SPREADING.
New Cases at Jacksonville.

The official report Friday shows lis new
cases are among the colored people in
ahe suburbs. There are comparatively
few deaths among the negroes, who usually
recover rapidly from the disease. The to-
tai number of cases reported to date is L.
$50; total deaths, 1876. A high death rate
is expected for several days.
jackson, Miss. People Fleeing From the
Scourge.
Three unmistakable cases of yellow few
er have developed at Jacksonville, Miss.
among residents who have not been absent
from town for months. A careful and close
consultation of physicians of that city
in connection with Drs. Iglehard and Pur-
neil Of vicksburg. established the forego-
ing facts beyond doubt or question. The
panic Of 1918 was not comparable with that
now prevailing among the citizens. The
news of suspicious cases of fever did not
get out until 3 o'clock Friday afternoon,
but before 8o'clock hundreds had left town
by railroad and other roads and many more
are preparing to leave. Two banks in town
paid out over $4,000 each after banking
hours Friday afternoon to their depositors
who were leaving. Gov. Lowry will re-
main to act with the board of health. A
consultation has just been had over the
cases Of Torrance, Lee and Calhoun. and
tho decision is that each one of said cases
is yellow fever beyond question or doubt.
The board Of health are telegraphing the
above facts everywhere and are concealing
nothing.
Tearing Up Railway Tracks.
It is reported that portion Of the rail-
toad track between Harrison and vicksburg
has been torn up by frightened people in
order to force trains TO stop. There Is
good ground for believing the report true.
There is scarcely any fear that any refugees
will be able to reach Louisiana or New Or.
leans by river. for Jackson has been iso-
lated and people from there have no
means of reaching the Mississippi
river. vicksburg and Natchez have both
uuarantined most strictly, and the roadi
connecting them with jackson have been
obliged to 90 out Of business for the
present. There is evidently reign of
terror in and about Jackson, and a gentle
man on his way from Birmingham to
Vicksburg, who was forced to come to
New Orleans from Meriden, said Friday
morning that he never saw people SO fright
ened as are the Mississippians, who are
panic stricken with fear that that the
scourge may become general In their state.
Special trains as required will De sent TO
Jackson by the Illinois Central to carry
north all who wish to 60.
