how Josep Reed managed to get hold
of some government plates, from
which he printed two billions Of
money; how he was hauled up before
the court, when even the Treasury
experts could not tell the difference
between his money and the legal
greenbacks; how it was found impos-
sible to convict him, aud he was al
lowed to get off scot free with his
goods" with nothing to prevent him
from circulating and disposing of it
as he saw proper.
If the intended victim takes the
bait, he is requested to send this
telegram to Frank Ellis, in care of
Norton, II Crosby street, New York
City; ''Have you the lease of build
ing on lot 20, map 672?' Then the
sharper sends him full instructions
as to when and where they can meet
to close the transaction. The victim
goes to New York, where the sharper
meets him at some obscure hotel. If
the swindler sizes him up favorably
he is taken to a room, where he
is shown big piles of greenbacks
The sharper tells him that they are
counterfeit, but they are in reality
good notes. The victim sees that it
is as good money as any he ever
handled, SO he buys as much of it as
he can afford and packs it away in
his valise. Then the sharper escorts
him along with his satchel When
the rural gentleman next opens his
valise he finds in it.instead of money,
q few packages of sawdust wrapped
up neatly in paper. His New York
friends have taken him in, and if he
has money enough to get home with
he is lucky. tits of no use to com
plain to the authorities. The coun-
tryman could never find the place or
the men who swindled him, for they
are constantly changing their quar-
tiers. And then he would be in
rather embarrassing position him
self, for was he not endeavoring to
circulate counterfeit money?
These rogues do a fourishing bus
mess. Scarcely Il week passes that
the New York papers do not record
the swindling of some person from
the country, yet it is the rarest
thing for the thief to be caught.
The only safe way to do business
with these sharpers is to follow Mr..
Williams's example-send the first
letters to the officers of the law or q
newspaper where warning will be
given to the unwary.

One of Major McKinley's great
embarrassments in the Ohio canvass
comes from the generous pledges he
made the farmers as to the certain
effect of the increased taxes on the
importation of raw wool. He allowed
"the Ohio Shepherds" as Lawrence,
Delano and others of the wool asso-
citation are known, to peruse the
wool schedule of his bill, and then
pledged himself the increased duties
would greatly benefit the American
wool grower by increased prices and
the shrinkage of foreign importa
tons. These promises were extern
sively made in all The wool growing
districts Of Ohio by print and speech.
The farmers were promised such
prices for their wool as had never be-
fore been known, and great was to be
the glory that would come to the Nc.
Kinley bill and its author!
What has been the reckoning?
Have these promises been fulfilled
by nine months operation of the Nc
Kinley bill?
Not at all. The importations of
foreign wool in that time have more
than doubled the importations for
the corresponding period of the pre-
ceding fiscal year. They have been
in about the proportion of 100000
600 pounds under the Mckinley bill
to 50,000,0o0 pounds for the same
months of the year preceding it's
passage.
Here is a very serious disappoint-
ment to the Ohio wool growers if
they took stock in the assurances of
Major Mckinley as to the results
that would follow his bill of abomi-
nations. Nor is this all A more
calling disappointment is to be told.
Instead of prices going up, as Ma
jor Mckinley promised, they have
fallen very materially with the in
creased ,importations. The manu-
facturers have been buying largely
of Australian wool, and mixing it
with cheap territorial woods. This
has caused falling off in the price
for Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Michigan fine woods of from two to
five cents a pound, instead of an in
crease of five or ten cents a pound as
promised.
Here we have two very important
results to the wool growers follow
ing the Mckinley tariff bill, which
was to do so much for them. The
importations Of foreign woods more
than doubled; prices Of fine Ameri-
can woods, such as are raised in Ohio,
have fallen off from five TO ten cents
pound; and what adds gall to the
bitterness of these disappointment
is that the prices of wooden fabrics
have gone up. The farmer is getting
less for his fleeces and paying more
for his wooden goods.-Pittsburq

THE GREAT INCREASE
That Has Been Made in West Virginia.

Young Charley Bosbury writes
home from Detroit that finding
work very scarce up there, he ran
over to Canada The surprising
result of his visit to Canada was the
discovery that the same wages were
being paid over there as in Detroit.
Some Of the high tariff lunatics who
argue that big tariff makes big
wages might chew on this informa-
ton for a while. Their heads are so
hard you couldn't shoot a truth in
to them with double barreed shot

The War. Born Commonwealth.

West Virginia, as the census Of
fee reports, has population of 1872
1914, which is gain during the de-
cade of LA, 1897. If this gain were
all in one place it would make re-
spectacle city, especially as it is
very largely of immigrants with en-
ergy and nerve from other States,
who went into the war-born Com
monwealth to improve their fortunes
by developing its rich mineral re-
sources. Every one of the 54 coun-
ties shows an increase, and "a of
them an increase each of more that
25 per centum. That is an indica-
ton that wealth is found everywhere
in the State. And yet the explora-
ton of it has only begun. No one
can guess what riches of oil and gas
and coal remain untouched in the
MISUNDERSTANDING Times.

was addressing crowded audience,
and said: II want every one in this
congregation who wants to go to
Heaven to stand up OF course al
most everybody rose. Then he said !:
"Now | want everybody who wants
to go to the other place to stand up"
AT first no one stood up, but finally
a long and lank and skinny indivi-
dual in the back seats, about as fat
as an umbrella, arose and said 81

place, but l am willing to stand up

DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS.

There are those who are morbidly
anxious about their health, watch,
ing every symptom and dosing
themselves on the slightest provoca-
ton. There are others who never
give the matter thought, but per-
NIT real symptoms to lapse into the
certainties Of disease. Between
these two extremes the wise man
steers--never unduly anxious, and
yet not permitting genuine symp-
toms to develop. He knows that
celays are dangerous, and he knows
moreover, that the medicine most
likely to be effective is that which
goes straight to the seats of disease,
and tones up the digestive organs,
strengthens the system and puri6es
the blood. He takes a few doses of
S. S. s., and soon finds that all the
symptoms have disappeared, and
that he is in better condition than
ever. The great vegetable remedy
has no rival.

y newspaper man OF Pittsburg
says that the best amusement in life
is rational conversation which de-
ponds upon rational thinking. He
dencunces the reading habit and
says reading encourages CONVEX
sation and stops thinking. The
victim of this habit lets the printer
do his talking and his thinking.
The more one reads the less one
thinks. For, surely, there is no
real thinking without independence.
Nobody is thinking when he is only
holding book in his hand and let
ting somebody else do his thinking.
You can't think with your eyes.
Great readers are very often mere
prisons of information. They let
nothing out and benefit nobody with
their knowledge. Set these book
worms to teach and they make a
failure of it. They can't even talk.
The reading habit blinds people.
You can't see the world through the
covers of a book, AS old Omar said,

THwARTED BY A WOMAN.
She Handles a Rifle Well and Nips a
Black Cap Whipping.

Charles Lawson has been living
about eight miles from Newton,
Missouri. He was unfortunate
enough to incur the i'll will of a
member of the Black Caps by select,
ing piece of timter land that had
been occupied by the said member
as squatter. This squatter, James
Daggett, had his full amount Of land
frorc the Government, but wished to
hold the piece of timber for his
brother. Lawson made his entry,
and after a tedious contest succeed
ed in getting his patent.
On June 18th, Lawson received
q letter warning him to leave within
forty. eight hours. Lawson was not
scared ana went about his business.
One night recentlv as he was enter
ing his yard he was suddenly con-
fronted by ten men wearing black
gowns and their heads covered with
black caps. lie was tied and the
band started off to the timber with
hin.
Mrs. Lawson heard the distur-
bance and quickly OWNED what was
going on. She grasped her hus>
bands Winchester rifle and followed
in the dusk unit! the band stopped
and proceeded to strip the victim,
preparatory to administering a
whipping Just as the lash was rails
ed to give the first blow, a shot rang
out, and the whipper dropped. In
quick succession came two more
shots, and two more fell. The res
mainder Of the Black Caps fled, pan
&c stricken, while the woman sent
lead after them.
While Mrs. Lawson was cutting
her husbands bonds, the last two
who fell crawlcd away in the dark
ness and escaped, buv the whipper
lay with broken thigh. When his
black raiment was stripped from
him, it was found that he was Dag
gett, and he was sent home by the
the man who was to be his victim.
The Indignation Of the neighbors
was so great that they hunted down
the band and succeeded in placing
FIVE OF them in Jail, where they now
are awaiting trial.
