One of the most gigantic schemes of
fraud and forgery which has probably ever
been known in this country has Just been

evidently an adventurer, against the
Adams Express company for 81, 5G4, SIS. 80.
Signatures to documents were forged
and when Lawyer w. L. White Was asked
to represent the plaintiff in the suit he de-
nounced the whole scheme as a fraud, and
notified the officers of the express com

animation of the alleged signature of VIM.

Seed Wheat for North Dakota.

State Commissioner of Agriculture
Helgeson, of North Dakota, ana the gen.
tlemen associated with him in aiding the
distressed farmers and furnishing them
with seed wheat. have come to an agree
nent with the railway and elevator COM
panies. The Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern have agreed to guarantee
repayment by the farmers of one-third OF
the 800, 600 bushels of wheat it is proposed
to give them. The elevator companies
agree to guarantee payment Of another
third. and the committee will ask citizens
of the northwest to sign a paper guaran-
teeing the remaining third-upon certain
important conditions. The legislature
passed a law permitting counties to bond
themselves to the extent of S per cent of
their valuation for this purpose. Not
until this money is exhausted are the des-
titute counties entitled to ask for aid. The
committee appointed by the governor, be-
fore it issues the necessary seed wheat,
will have in its possession information Of
every destitute person in The state. When
the wheat is issued the farmers will be re-
quired to give their notes for the value of
it. These notes will be placed in the
hands Of a commission. The guarantee
will surely be obtained from citizens and
the farmers be supplied with wheat in time
for seeding.

4. Bad Dakota Legislator.

Samuel Hess. the legislator who al
tempted suicide at Pierre because he had
been Tilted by Il of the demi-monde of
that city, and who tried to disprove the
story sent out by calling correspondents
liars. from developments at hand is proved
to be worse than he was painted. During
the closing days Of the session, when the
chief clerk was rushed with work. Hess
took advantage of the fact by duplicating
his vouchers for per diem. State Auditor
Taylor discovered this and called Hess to
account, but the latter tried to deny it.
He then told the auditor that if he would
keep it secret he would make it right by
turning in his per diem and mileage for
the October session. When the session
closed the auditor discovered that Hess
had sold these to Senator Pettigrew. VITO
is now the loser; but it it had not been
discovered in time the state would have
had to stand it. The auditor states that
Hess could have been arrested and expelled
from the legislature and otherwise pun

TOYING WITH 4 NECK
A NEW HAMPSHIRE YOUTH WITH l.
ABLE JOINTS.

BY the Aid of So-Caued IIypnotism a Mans
Joints are Made the Sport of Doctors
News of Other Sort From Far and Near.
Twenty of New York's most prominent
physicians had great sport one evening
with two mountain boys, fresh from New
Hampshire. At any rate, these two chaps:
one about % and the other a couple of
years younger, pretended to be very green
aud quite successfully took in the doctors.
The elder sard he had recently come to a
realization of a strange power which he
had over his younger brother, about which
he knew nothing more han that it was
called hypnotic power. A great manyt tests
were given and oil were successful. One
of the strangest was the absolute disloca-
lion of the vertebrm of the neck.
The younger brother was put unde the
influence by constant gaze on the elder.
He tottered around on his feet and would
nave fallen if his brother had not held him
up, and when the latter tossed his arms
around, over, under and about his head.
behind his back and up behind till his hand
touched the base Of the skull they Topped
about like a couple of bags of sawdust as
if they were all joints. Then the hypno-
tier stifeped him up and began to play
pranks with his joints and bones. He put
his knee IN his chest, gave a tremendous
pull and push, and the poor fellows
chicken bone" almost touched his ver-
tebra. Then he twisted his arms
around until his shoulders were
clean out Of their sockets and laid
them wrong side up on his back, the inner
side at the elbows lying outward, a fact that
would make the snake man of Barnum's
show green with envy. He twisted the
fingers into out]andish shapes and had fun
with his joints aud corners generally.
At last, to cap the climax of this cruelty,
he seized the unfortunate man by the head.
twisted it violently TO and fro and pulled it
out of its socket at the neck. The head
fell over helplcssly onto his chest and the
bones or the dislocated socket stuck up in
the air, while he rolled the loosely hanging
head about in a manner horrible to behold.
The doctors were callei on to examine and
they declared it a casa of dislocation, al
perfect as if done on the gallows. Tb
subject was brought to without trouble.

Auditor and Money Missing.

At a city council meeting in Chattanooga
an expert reported that in January and
February Treasurer Lazard drew warrants
for SG,S62 in favor of outside creditors of
the city and Endorsed the same to City
Auditor Vernon S. Whiteside, to be paid
to the said creditors. These amounts, the
experts reported, have not been received
by the creditors. The council at once
ordered the Office of Auditor Whiteside
vacant, and installed the new auditor, Z.
T. Stewart. Ed Arnetz's wife left for
Chicago recently and a few days later was
Joined there by Whiteside. He has not
returned and neither has the money turned
over to him been heard from. The last
heard of him he was in Detroit, presumably
facing towards Canada. accompanied by
Mrs. Arnetz. The expert is now working
on the books of the auditor, and startling
revelations are looked for. Whiteslde is a
son of Mrs. Harriet z. Whiteside, one of
the richest women in the state and former
owner of the entire top Of Lookout
Mountain. The fear that considerable Of
the city's money is missing has produced a
tremendous sensation.

THE CHINESE MUST GO.
Laundrynen of New York and New Jersc.
Institute a Boycott.

Laundry!nen of New York and New Jersc.
Institute a Boycott.
A meeting was held in New York of the
chief executive committee of the Master
Laundrymen's association of the states OF
New York and New Jersey. Twenty-f five
men were present, representing about $780,.
100000 Of capital. 1t was stated by the
chairman that oil the Chinese laundries in
both states are owned by six Chinese cor.
poratlons, and there is no such thing as ar
individual laundry. The smallest of these
corporations owns 300 laundries. Some
time ago the Chinese syndicate formed &
plan to buy out the larger white laundries,
thinking that if they could control these
the business would soon be wholly in their
hands. For this purpose they subscribed
$l,5Oo,o0O as a preliminary fund. The
white laundrymen got wind Of the scheme
and for the purpose of counteracting il
and at the same time retaliatiug the eXecu.
tive committee met. A series of re solu-
tons We're adopted recitlng that 81, OOO,-
oO0 IS taken every year from the white
laundrymen Of New York, most of which
goes TO China: and hat energetic efforts
be made at once to institute against the
Chinese laundries of this state and the
state OF New Jersey a vigorous war, and
that S500,000 be raised within twenty DAYS
for the purposes named by three superin.
tendents and the president of the execu-
tive COMMITTEES. The plan Of campaign
was also detailed in the resolutions. and
it was as follows:
Wherever a Chinese laundry is located
a white laundry is to be established as near
it as possible. When persons are seen
patronizing a Chinese laundry they are to
be followed to their homes, if necessary,
and induced to deal with the white laun.
drymen in preference. II necessary the
prices of white laundry will be cut down
SO much that competition even from the
Chinese will be impossible. All kinds of
influence, not excepting political, will be
used to induce the people to trade with the
American laundries. The legislature will
even be appealed to to stop the Chinese
.raffic. The positions of the superintend-
ents who will be entrusted with the oper-
alton OF the plan will he made dependent
upon their success Of cutting down the
Chinese trade. Every effort, regardless of
cost OR method, will be used to accom-
pllsh the desired results, and, if necessary,
another $500, 600 will be raised" Two
hundred and eighty thousand dollars was
subscribed by check, and it is expected
that within ninety days most of the Chi
nese laundries will be abolished.

Lenrosy in Minnesota.

III
The Minnesota state board Of health re-
Gently appointed q committee to search
out all cases of leprosy and to employ for
the purpose a noted Swedish specialist.
The boards order leaked out and created
considerable agitation, which was empha-
sized by a course of lectures delivered by
Miss Flavin, who has just returned from
the Sandwich islands and claims to be a
leper expert. She asserts that in Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and Iowa there are 100
cases of leprosy. This statement, coupled
with the knowledge that the state board
was making an investigation, has created
CONSERVATION i'll several localities where
leprosy was rumored to have existed. A
public statement is made by the board that
after a careful investigation it learns that
there are three cases of leprosy in the state
and no more, and that no danger need he
apprehended. The cases are not located,
but they always exist in populous Scandi-
navian communities where fish has been a
steady diet. One mild case was found on
the lower flats at Minneapolis and another
below the levee in St. Paul, but both were
removed some time since. The state board
will take control of the existing cases aud
prevent dangerous association without es-
tablishing a public quarantine.
