Conductor of Dining Car.


Conductor of Dining Car.
1t would probably surprise the people of
America should they by some chance learn
how many political refugees from other
countries found safety from pursuit in the
United States. Many instances have become
known, but there are hundreds of which the
public knows nothing to every one that has
been written or talked about.
There boards at hotel in Kansas City a
man named Theodore Bergegrun He is the
conductor of dining car on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad. A mo-
ment's conversation with him shows that by
birth and breeding he is fitted for much
higher place in the world. lie is Russian
Nihilist and exile.
Six years ago he became involved in polit-
ical troubles in his own country, and to pre-
serve his liberty-perhaps his life-he was
compelled to iy from Russia. For two years

A Spirited Suitor.

Many anecdotes are related about the droll
sayings of the late Jonas Hill, of Fayette
He had q peculiar way of speaking, which
those who heard him viii never forget. but
his pronunciation can hardly be represented
in print. He was at one time a suitor for the
hand of a young lady whose parents did not
favor him. Her father did not think that
the social standing of Jonas was such as TO
render him ct match for his daughter, but
he told the young man that if he would bring
him high toned references he would consider
his claim. Jonas said nothing, but felt in
dignsnt and resolved to have hisreveuge So
he procured the best of recommendations as
to his character and standing in society. The
old man examined tho credentials and was
satisfied "An right" said he "You are

A Kansas Granger's Dlsheartening Expe-
rlence with Cipher Dispatches.
To prevent mistakes in transmitting the
grain and commission men have well es-
tablished CIPHER in which words that are not
liable to be mistaken by the telegraph opera
tor are used in place Of the quotation figures.
Some of the Kansas City firms use the
cipher in corresponding with their out of
town customers and others do not, as the
general run of customers are not familiar
with the cipher.
A Kansas man was in Kansas City last
year and made large purchase of wheat
with a leading commission house on 4 per
cent. margin. he requested the firm TO tele-
graph him the quotations next day, and a
clerk of the firm was instructed to present
him with a cipher key, but neglected to do 50.
The Kansas man now tells the story of his
speculation with great gusto.
The next morning he received telegram:

make any sense out of the message. a little
later he received another message.

4 STORY OF HALL.
How He Trapped a Gang OF
Showers Of the Queer.
WORK IN THE SECRET SERVICE.
The Tale Here Below Recited Is One Of His
Best, and Is Especially Timely
Just Now.

Can't. Hall, Of the United States secret ser
vice. formerly stationed at Chicago, has had
many exciting experiences with counterfeit
ers. and in view of the recent excitement
over the alleged wholesale manufacture of
silver dollars in Mexico which, it is said,
have been disposed Of on Uncle Sans soil at
q good profit, perhaps a recital of one Of
these experiences Iaay be interesting. In
1884 Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan were
flooded with spurious silver dollars which
were so nearly like the genuine that they
were readily received everywhere. Nobody
but experts in fact, were likely TO discover
the fraud. The coin was of the same weight
es the genuine. and the stamping and milling
were done with almost equal perfection.
The only perceptible difference was in the
sound when the genuine and the fraudulent
pieces were dropped SUCCESSFULLY on some
hard surface. The spurious dollar having
less than forty cents worth Of silver in it, it
became a matter of great Importance that
the counterfeiters be captured and their i'm
PIGMENTS destroyed.
Every known resort of this class of crimi-
mails was surrounded and several old offend
ers and their kits captured. But this did not
put stop TO the output of spurious silver
dollars Capt. Hall counted noses and found
that he had under arrest every shady char
acter against whom he had grounds for sus-
picion. This satisfied him that the fraudu-
lent silver dollars were the handiwork Of a
gang of counterfeiters who had lately ar
rived from some distant part of the country.
He knew from the manner in which the fresh
coins were put into circulation that the den
of the scoundrels was somewhere in Michi
gan, probably in the pine woods.
One day Capt. Hall placed his Office il

amounting TO something like $4,000. 1t be-
came evident that the bulk of this fortune
would pass out Of the old mans hands and
into those of his wife if he married, and his
children would thereby lose their inheritance.

led so desperate man as Jesse James, even
by treachery.
He visited Kansas City recently and gave
some account of himself since he killed
James. After that affair he Travelled all over
the east with theatrical attraction. Then
he went to New Mexico, where he settled.
Three years later he gravitated to Colorado
and located at Walsenburg. There he had
shooting affair. A cowboy shot at him, but
Ford ''winged him. and stopped his firing.
Then he took him home and cared for him.
He was recently brought into notoriety
again by an affair in a Kansas City faro
room, where he had gone to ''buck the tiger"
with a friend He was unarmed.
While Ford was at the table, intent upon
his game, his comrade discovered that there
We're several men in the room who had no
friendship for "the man who killed Jesse
James, and who, being somewhat in liquor,
did not hesitate to announce their feelings
without reserve Fearing trouble, Ford's
friend endeavored to induce him TO leave, but
the game was going the wrong way at that
time and he refused to move.
About o'clock in the morning tall gam
bier walked up behind Ford and, placing one
hand on his shoulder, announced the inten-
ton of cutting his throat.
Ford glanced up to see who was paying
| him such delicate attentions, and at tina
moment the would be avenger made q vicious
slash at Fords throat with pocket knife HI
held in his right hand. Ford was completely
at the mercy of his assailant, but, fortunate
" for him, his friend saw the movement il
time to throw the knife aside. The point o
of the blade cut through the standing collar
Ford was wearing and slightly abraded thu
skin of his throat, but not sufficiently to draw
blood.
Realizing his danger, Ford sprang TO hi
feet and grasped the knife hand of his assail
ant before he could repeat the blow. TIL
fellow at once gave down and commenced t
beg Ford not to shoot which, of course, Ii
could not do, being unarmed. The friend
of the bloodthirsty avenger hustled him Oh
of the room at once and he was seen no NOR
that night.
When the excitement died away slight
Ford quietly seated himself and complete
the deal then in progress.

Mullery fortune claim that this widow in

other people Joseph Mullery shall deliver
bread TO her; in other words, that she shall
make her bread out of the fortune by getting
possession of it, and that she is exerting I'M

Pending the inquiry Mr.. Mullery and the
widow were married, and as the inquiry was
to prevent the snarriage it would seem that
nine points of the law are in the hands of the

hands of the widow.
