Rose Lies, AZ Usual,

{" How is this?" said one of our city re.
porters to the Postmaster the other day. 81
see Rose accuses you of compelling him, for
six months, to pay one cent per copy for city
distribution Of his weekly, while the RepuJ-
hcaR, Times and FREE TRADER were received
at pound rates"
"Well, of course Rose lies. | don't think
there ever was one cent paid at the office on
a copy Of the Journal, daily, weekly or semi
weekly, for city distribution. About year
ago, for short time, semi-weekly Journal
was issued in lieu Of the weekly. and 90 to
100 copies we're sent to the pest office for
distribution by carriers to city subscribers.
By P. o. L. and r., secs. 352 and 1853, only
weekly papers can be 80 received at the
pound rate all others must be prepaid by
stamp q. one cent per copy. When Rose,
therefore, sent his semi weekly to the Office,
I refused to send it out by the carriers at
the pound rate, and wrote him note, tell
| ing him what the law was and how to trest
his copies to have them distributed from the
office. That was all or course nothing Of
the kind ever occurred in regard to hi'
weekly"
But how about that Tonica letter
well, it 10 possible that in the daily de
livery of 1000 letters by the carriers, ont
may have been accidentally delayed day
Accidents will happen. &c, you know. Blu
as there is no other authority in this cas-
than Roses statement, naturally | doubt 1t
truth
"But how about holding his papers back
and those other slurs?"
Bah In the daily handling of some to
| bushels Of mail matter in this office, do 20
suppose any one ever thinks Of Rose :

Another slick Swindler.


George w. Ravens, as agent for Bowen
Hill, of Deer Park, was swindled out Of
$3.50 in cash by man representing himself
to be Geo. W. Bailey, relative OF Mr..
Bailey, of the Streator bank, two weeks ago,
but the matter did not obtain publicity until
Saturday last.
Bailey went to Mr.. Ravens office and
stating that he understood Mr.. Ravens had
money TO loan, proposed to borrow $500
and assign mortgage, which he represented
himself as being able to procure on the farm
Of VIM. Austin, Of Ophir, as security. He
borrowed mortgage blank Of Mr.. Ravens,
and next day returned with 9 correct ab.
stract of title and the mortgage purporting
to have been signed by Austin. MIR. Ravens
at first demurred for the reason that Bailey
had no one at hand to identify him, but was
re- assured upon the latter offering to pay
the expense Of ride out to Streator, where
he said he could secure Identification at the
Bailey bank. Mr.. Ravens accepted the
mortga giving Bailey $3.50 cash and
draft on New York for $2,25O. Bailey de-
parted southwark, stopping over at streator
wher he was unsuccessful in disposing OF
the draft at either Of the three banks, and
ct length succeeded in cashing it at 81
Joseph, Mo.
Before attempting TO procure the money
Of Mr.. Ravens, Bailey waited upon II. u
Neff with like proposition, but his attor
neys, McDougall s. Chapman, were too in
quisitive and he refused to deal with them
The mortgage was discovered to be fraud
ulent by Sherman Leland, who, in examin
ing it at the Recorders Office, discovered
that the signature of DR.. Putney, attaches
to the acknowledgment, was forgery,
Mr.. Ravens says that he will not lose tn
\. amount of the draft, as he will insist upoi
, the bank producing Bailey when it present
the draft for payment.

only for the best quality and largest sssort-
ment Of goods but for the artistic and neat
arrangement Of its stock. The shelves and

Alsohuler charges only for the goods, and
only the lowest prices.
EXTRA CHOICE.

IN cHILDREN's LINES.
The great variety in sizes, styles an'
