There's some stuff We captured at Oswego,

Mrs Ingersoll, and pretty bad woman she
was TOO Two of her daughters were with her,

found them useful IN fascinating young men of
a certain class so that st last they were willing
to do anything that the girls wanted.

promptly returned the Ere and shot his man

Besides the g, O0O. 600 of bogus money there
are millions Of dollars in what known as
flash notes. These are imitation greenpacks
used for advertising purposes, and although
they were not got up for fraudulent purposes.
1t is violation of the law to make any colora-
bic imitation of United States currency any
government obligation. These flash notes are
often passed off the negroes of the South as
good money by confidence men. The secret
service people, at rough guess, believe they
have $50. 100000 worth of fash notes in their
possession. All this bogus money will be count
sd by the Treasury Department COMMITTEES.
The notes will be sent the macerator and
ground into pulp. and come TO life again in the
shape of sickly-looking pug dogs and busts of
Garfield or Cleveland while the coin viii be
melted down as the navy yard and perhaps
eventually become part of the new navy.
