A Sensation Promised.

The arrest of a number Of coun-
terfeiters in the southwest part of
the county, several years ago, pro-
duced sensation that startled the
people of the entire county. For
some time the counterfeiting busi-
ness had been carried on success
fully, and, strange to say, several
of those engaged in the business
were persons. who had previously
stood we'll in the community.
Itseems now that like sensa-
ton is to be sprung upon the pub
lie, in fact more sensational than
the other, because of the standing
of some of the parties connected
Herewith.
Its seems that a number of years
ago, gang of counterfeiters op-
Grated in, or, rather from, the north
part of the coun ty, as none of the
money was put in circulation in
the neighborhood where the coun-
terfeiters worked. The headquar-
ters of the combination were in a
hollow surrounded by woods, west
of Sublette. This gang did not
manufacture the money, but its
members were known as "shovers
of the queer" That is they put
the counterfeit money in circula-
ton.
At certain stages Of the moon
one of the gang was detailed to &c
to Alexandria, and meet a man
from Illinois, who delivered into
his hands the bogus money. He
returned and divided it up with
the other members, who put it in
circulation, where there was the
least probability of detection.
1t was known that counterfeit
money was being put in circula-
tion, but detectives were unsuc-
cessful in discovering the source
from which it emanated. A con-
fession of one of the members OF
the gang has recently called atten-
ton again to the matter, and the
authorities are on the trail with an
excellent show of success. The
gang has long since broken up and
the members are widely scattered,
but it is thought that three or
four of them still reside in this
county. An attempt at closest
secrecy has been maintained that
suspicion might not be aroused
till all the members are located,
when a general arrest will follow.

A dress rehearsal of "Casey's
Troubles" was given yesterday
afternoon at the Union Square
Theatre to the members of the
press. The play was magnificent
ly staged, and the singing of the
principals being rendered with
exquisite effect. The plot of the
play is something after the style
of "The Silver King" The comedy
parts, of course, are given the
most prominence, and was ably
sustained by Lillian Kennedy,
Alfred Kelley, Harry Sayres, Ellen
Buckley and others, late of the
London Gayety Company. Mr..
Frank Mordaunt's work as "Lem-
oyne,' and Mr.. w. 81. Danvers as
Jerry. the Gouger," are also
worthy of mention. The company
is a large one and all acquitted
themselves very satisfactorily.
The river was a very beautiful
scene; the realism of which would
make one fancy they were looking
at the East river. Ths Siberian
bIoodhounds were on hand at the
proper moment, as was also the
trick donkey, who eluded all ef-
forts to get him of the stage and
until the fall of the cur
tain. We assure this company a |
successful run in "Frisco." J

Tha she was our so long
And try to lift our tones of grief
To accord with her Heavenly song.''

boxes by freight, shipped by kind
but misguided friends in New
Jersey, containing various kinds
of fruit, accompanied by a note
stating that they had not raised
much of a crop this year, but
would divide, knowing that way
out in Wild Missouri fruit was one
of the most expensive luxuries.
The farmer retorted by going to

ing out a choice collection of fruit
that for size and quality excelled
any he had received, filled the
same boxes and returned them to
his New Jersey friends with an
appropriate letter.
