BILL NyE's DIsCoyERER.
The Great Humorist Doesn't Care
Who Writes His sStuff.''

Who Writes HIS "Stun."
Bill Nye, the humorist, has written to
his old friend Slack, editor of the
Cheyenne Sun, as follows:
STRICTLY PERSONAL.
On TIE ROAD, Feb. 6.-Dear Slack:
1t is funny how much excitement there
is over the very important matter of
who discovered me. My parents
claim that they were response
BILE. My wife also mildly pro-
tests tnat she was partially responsible,
and others seem to be willing to
shoulder the responsibility, but it doesn't
matter especially. am more glad that
anything else, for Go not forget that
every inducement was held out to me to
crawl into obseurity when | left the
West, and also to pull the obscurity in
after me. But for the West, however, 1
would have been born to blush unseen,
and the friends who st cd by me when
l needed it so much have got a warm
place in my heart, as they will find if
they give me a chance to demonstrate
it. do not forget that Mr.. Rothacker
saw my work first, [ think, in the
Sun. But what does it all amount
to, anyhow? The whole thing is and has
been thorough surprise to me. and with
all claims made by discoveries, am still
skeptical about the value Of the dis
covery itself, and whether any precious
metal in place exists. Far beyond my
most sanguine hopes has been the gem
erous approval OF the American press,
and better than all has been the kind
and spontaneous applause of friends,
firstin Wyoming and afterward through
out the states.
Of course it will always remain mat
ter of doubt in some minds who writes
my stuff for me. l shall not throw any
light on the subject. 1 prefer to let the
public find that out for itself, but the
man who is doing it is in mighty good
health and bid fair to live as long as
yours sincerely, BILL NYE.

A LABOR PARTY.
Resolutions Passed by the Social

Resolutions Passed by the Social
istic Labor Union.
At meeting Of the Independent So
ciaiistic Labor union, held yesterday
afternoon, resolutions were adopted adj
vising the workingmen of St. Paul to
take part in the spring election by form
ing an independent labor party which
shall under no considerations CO.
operate with either the = Repub-
lican or Democratic organization.
A committee, consisting of
Messrs. Galfke, Weisner, Murphy,
Hartlich and Constant was appointed
to carry out this idea of the union as far
as possible.
A member of this committee said that
this action of the union was in line with
the recent move organizing ward clubs,
so far as the latter did not fall in with
either of the two parties.

Laura quickly.
"Why, Laura! 1t wasn't a month
ago you told me that the smell Of Gig
arctic smoke made you as sick as dog
and that you thought it worse than the
smell of spoiled sauerkraut Yes, you
did, and now you say you DON'T"
-"Oh, Nannie! never-well, maybe
l did, but, you see, Dave smokes 'em,
and he is so nice, you know, that what
ever he does is nice.'
''What goose you are. | suppose if
Dave were to guzzle beer and eat garlic
you would say his breath was as sweet

''Of course | would" exclaimed
Laura, more in earnest than in fun.
"Weli, | never thought you such
silly thing as that" continued Mamie,
in a lecturing tone. 81 always thought
you were girl of refined taste, and
that nothing would bring you to admit
that filthy tobacco smoke is nice"
II did not think So" replied Laura,
''until | got acquainted with Dave. l
only call him Dave to you, for we are
not engaged. He asked me if liked
tobacco smoke, and l said yes, but did
not mean it. Then he brought out
cigarette and began smoking, and to my

such cute smoke-rlngs. They are just
too lovely for anything

A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT
A Ten-Dollar Bill That Defies De
tectives and Experts.


''The most dangerous counterfeit note
in the country at present" said De-
tective Scanlon, of the United States
secret service, to Telegram reporter.
lis the $40 United States treasury note
known as the Webster head says the
New York Telegram. 1t has been on
the market for some time and is so
cleverly executed that it deceiveS eX-
perienced cashiers. The only notice
able fault abouti is that the nose on
the vignette of Webster is crooked. The
plate is in the hands of combination
of men, and they put out the bills IN the
most cunning way. They came here
and in three days got rid OF 80 OF 100 OF
them. The next heard of them will be
in Chicago OF some other large city.
''Why are they not caught? Well,
they only show up here at long periods,
and cashiers and others who handle
money in large quantities get Off their
guard, and when the counterfeits are
discovered the guilty parties are hum
dreds of miles away. We keep. after
them, and it is only question OF time
when they will be caught"
SIS there much c0unterfeiting now
adays?" asked the reporter.
Every little was the reply, ION a
large scale. The gangs are well broken
up, with the exception of the Webster
head combination. The cause of it?
Well, they are closely watched. The
old hands are kept track Of, and that
enables us to keep posted as to the be-
ginners. We are usually so well ac-
Quainted with their movements that on
several occasions of late years we have
had specimens of the cOunterfeitS before
the men were ready to pass them. We
find this is more effectual than to trace
them after they have appeared.
'sWe find," continued the detectives,
''that when counterfeit has made its
appearance the newspapers are OF great
assistance in saving StorekeeperS and
others from being deceived by it. The
description published in this way is far
mere effective than the Counterfeit De-
tectors specially published for that OBJ
ject"
''Why do Italians almost hold mo-
nopoly in counterfeit cOins?'
There is not money enough in it for
natives. These latter want big money.
Besides, many italians are expert at
making plaster of paris mouldS, and
they come over to avoid detection i'll
their own country. where, | believe,
counterfeting is punished with death.
Over here it is only matter of year
or two, and then while in prison they
are better fed than when they are free,
so that detection has little terror for
them. They are satisfied with light
profits, and seldom try to dispose Of
more than a couple of dollars worth at
a time among the small stands and
StOrekeeperS.

HIS GIRLS.
, girl is brayely meek:

My pious girl is bravely meek;
She gives me Scripture text to search,
Corrects my faults and, so to speak,
Conducts me by the ear to church.
My loyeliest girl has teeth like pearls.
Blue, dreamy eyes and cheek of rose,
A smiling scorn of other girls,
A vacant mind, and lots of beaux!
my kindest girl loves law fulfls

And, sending books, and liver pills.

In Winthrop's digest OF opinions OF

When legal sentence of dismissal has
been duly confirmed and exc.
cuted, the power over the case OF
the reviewing officer is exhausted.
The reviewing authority, as such, is functus

modify the official act of continuation, or the
order which is evidence of IL. So-the sen
tence being executed and the dismissal being
an accomplished fact-the case is beyond
the reach of the paTdoning power; by no
exerciseLof that power can the sentence he
removed or RENTED, or the Office lost be re-
stored Thus so far as the executive power
is concerned. the dismissal is final and ire
verSible And the law has provided no court
of appeal or other. revisory authority. by
which the same may be reopened or set aside

DRAINAGE AND IT'S BENEFITS.
Information and Suggestions Regarding the
Matter from the Surveyors State Society.

The absence of quite number Of gentlemen
who were on the programme for papers on
various subjects is detracting somewhat from
the interest in the annual meeting of the In
diana Association of Civil Engineers. The
morning session yesterday was to have been
devoted to the report of the committee on
engineering and surveying, but, owing to the
absence of the chairman, d. d. Saunders. of
Evansville, the submission of the report was
postponed until to-day. The session was given
up to discussions of various phases of the work
of the profession.
At the afternoon session the report of the
committee on drainage was presented by L. S.
Alter of Kentland, the chairman. He read
lengthy paper the subject of drainage. and
gave his ideas IS to how public drainage should
be done, obtained from experience In draining
the swamp lands in the northern part of the
State. There was he said, still much prejudice
against tile drainage. by people who had not
The greatest argument against it that
he had met with was that it produced
foods and in the end did more damage than
good The people who used such argument he
said forgot that thrty-ive and forty years ago,
before there was any tile draining. there was
just as much flooding as now He believed that
tile drainage in reality prevented foods Another
argument used against tile drainage is that
it has bad effect on the climate,
by producing - unnatural changes in
weather.
said, had demonstrated that drainage produced
no change in the temperature or the mean an
nual rainfall Many farmers insist that the
drought of last summer was the result of too
much drainage. He argued that such could not
be the case. and by records showed that as
great droughts had been experienced before tile
drainage was introduced.
Mr.. Alter also submitted some figures show
ing the great increase in the drainage during the
last few years. In 1882 there were 30872 miles
of tile LAID In 1883 3D. $50 miles. and in 1884 &c.
700 miles, and in 1887 65 7l2 miles. He said that
at present there were 900 tile manufactures in
the State and by their combined work they
were doing more to make great State of Indi-
ana than any other agency. Does it pay to
drain? was question that was formerly fire.
