Detroit dispatch: The grain men OF
Detroit and various other portions OF
the country are at present agitated over
swindling game in which they are
more or less interested. j. w. Helm,
of Danville, ILL.,, well known and ex-
tensive grain dealer, has among his GUS
toners the firm of Kizer Bros, of Ham
mond, Ill, whom he had never met per-
sonally. Two weeks ago while on q
railway train in Illinois, Helm was APP
preached by a stranger, who introduced
himself as Kizer of Hammond, ILL., The
stranger offered him several cars of
grain for 5000, which Helm accepted.
The following day bills of lading for
seven or eight additional cars were re-
celved by Helm,, who RENTED 5000
more.
A few days later the two met Mt the
fair in Hammond, ILL.,, when Kizer sue
eeeded in getting Helm to put him ON a
financial footing with Buzey's bank of
Urbana, ILL, and but a day or two inter-
yened before kiZer presented bills of
ladlng on which the bank advanced him
50, 500. -
A few days later Kizer wrote the First
National bank of Danville, Iii, inclosing
bills of lading for ten loads of grain on
Wardwell Il Mcintyre, of New York. and
requesting 81, $50 to be expressed to
klzer Brothers, Iyesdale. Ill. The bank
refused the request and sent the bill OF
lading with draft to Kizer Brothers al
Hammond This was the firms first in
tlmation that crookedness was going on
IN 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-fiye
car loads of grain on prominent New
York, Detroit, and Cincinnati firms.
The only losers are J. w. Helm, "a. 600. |
and Buzey s bank, $500, who have made !
good the losses to grain firms. The |
identity of the swindler and forger re-
main undiscovered.

THE Mo,, TRoUBLEs.

Des Moines special: Inquiry to-day
among the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy employees shows that they are
uncertain what course they will take in
regard to the threatened reduction OF
wages. 1t seems to be generally under.
stood among them that cut will be
made October 1, affecting engineers,
conductors, brakemen and switchmen.
The reduction will probably be from so
a month upwards. Some of them say
they will strike. Others think that the
movement Is really intended to Dust the
present non-union engineers so that the
company can get back their former en-
g1neers without having to break any
pledges to do SO. When that is accom-
plished it is thought by some that the
wages of the employees will be about
what they have been, although the cut-
ting down of receipts on account of the
strike is admitted to be possible factor
In the proposed move. Local officers
are very reticent, and give forth no in
formation about the proposed cut in
wages, though employees state that they
nave reliable Information that reduo-
ton will be made October /.
General Manager Stone, with a num-
Der of other officials, arrived in town
this evening on a tour of inspection.
He states positively that no reduction
OF wages is contemplated, and conse-
qnently no new strike is feared. Others
admit that circular of some sort sug-
costing reduction was sent out, but
say 1t was not official, and that Stone
had nothing to do with it. He saws tbat
the road will make no cut and has no
trouble with its employees.

There is absolutely nothing new ne.

engineers, but such O report is. so far nd

men, either directly or by intimation.
don't believe it. 1t would be suicidal
for the company to attempt a revision
OF wages now with large amount of
freight in sight which they will have to
haul. Of course, would be glad to see
IT, but don't expect it. 1t would be
100 good thing for us.

ALBANY, Oct. 3l.-A United Press re-

opinion ON the question Of diseufranchise-

general replied "My opinion Is that II a

or whenever the time Of closing arrives, he is
entitled 10 cast his ballot and have it
counted / believe that the liberal and yet
lawful construction to put upon the passage
Is that the words, closing Of the polls, re-

that is, the polls includes the place and vicinr
ity where the voting Is carried on, and thoss
about the place ure 10 be considered as

considered closed TO those not there, those ON
