in progress Marshal Willis decided to
round up the Judge, Choosing a moment

brush. Willis fired four shots at him
and finally captured him. The Judge Is

AMERICANS CHARGED WITH CIRCULATING
CoUSrERFElr BILLS.
The Russian police at o lassa arrested two
men, said to be Amcrlcan' charged with
circulating large amounts of the dang
forged p rouble bills of the Bank of Russia.
Two packages, purpDrting To be bales Of
cotton cloth, which arrived from New

these men, and on examination by the
customs officials they were found to contain
nearly a million roubles in these counter
felt bills. avert suspicion from them
selves they circulated none OF the stuff in
Odessa; but st. Petersburgh and Moscow
and other large cities have been Hooded with
1t for three months. The counterfeit, which
is undoubtedly of American manufacture,
is SO perfect that it passes from hand TO hand
without question, and everywhere, except
at the counter of the Bank Of Russia, appears
to answer every purpose of the genuine

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST MISSOURI COAL oP'
ORATORS.
State Labor Commissioner Meriwtther has
returned to Jefferson City from tour OF
inspection among the coal mines in the
northern counties of Missouri. He reports,
on the part of some operators, methods of
tyranny and oppression and violations of
the law so fragrant and of such long stand
ing that it would be dlilic ult to believe them
d d not tue Commissioner have sworn doc
uments proving the truth of every statement
made.
II seems incredible that mine operators
should pay their men in pastboard checks
that are not redeemable in cash for ten
years, yet Commissioner Meriwether shows
that one company has been doing this very
thing for a number of years. Several min
ers were discharged by this company be-
cause they did not trade enough at the com
pany's store. What is true OF this company
is true of nearly all the others.
