Counterfeit Currency.

FROM lne CiicdSo Mth
"More counterfeit money is in
actual circulation than people in
general believe" remarked teller
in one of Chicago's leading banks
recently. "Of course only the bet
ter class of counterfeits remain III
circulation, and even then do mot
pass undetected long. The detec-
ton of a counterfeit bill, however,
does not retire it from circulation
by any means. A grocer, for in
stance, who finds a So counterfeit
bill in his money drawer at night
is liable to argue that he cannot
we'll afford to lose the amount, anu
also that counterfeit which was
good enough to deceive him is good
enough to deceive some one else.
The next day some customer gets
it IN change, and ten to one 1t is
passed through a dozen hands be-
fore the discovery is again made
that it Is bogus. But its mission
does not end here. Perhaps the
last holder of the bill can tell who
paid it to him. If so the counter
felt starts to retrace its course, but
it rarely goes very far before it
stops and the whole scheme is
worked over again. We frequent.
ly have counterfeit money offered
for deposit. A merchant may
bring in several hundred dollars
and among the bills is a single
counterfeit. Of course it is thrown
out as soon as it is discovered.
But where does it go? Into the
hands of the man that brought i;
in. Does he destroy ii? Perhaps,
if he is a scrupulously honest man

Woods Arrested.

John Woods Saturday night On a
State warrant sent over from Au-
drain county.
The facts of the case, IS near as
we can learn, are that Woods and
Pack Green. of Mexico, become in,
volved in difficulty last Septem-
Der and it eliminated in Woods
shooting at Green. Woods ran of
and went to Louisiana, Mo-, where
he stayed until the 21st inst. On
the way back to this county he
stopped off at Mexico and was
pulled by the police, who recog
nized him. He succeeded in max
ing his escape and went to his
fatner-in-la laws, (Summers) who
lives about 5 miles northwest o.
here. The Mexico authorities sent
Mr.. Martin a warrant for his ar
rest.
Mr.. Martin went out Saturday
night and finding his man withou
dill Guilty, brought him to town
Constable Bunton came over Sun
day morning and got him.
Woods is we'll known in thi!
section and up to the time he wa
married he had a fair reputation
but since that time he has beer

THE year 1890 will take rank in
commercial history as panic year.
The financial and business distur-
Dances it has witnessed were
probably not so severe as those
which occurred in 1872, Or, to go
back still further, those OF 1891.
But the extent of the depression
and the magnitude Of the failures
in business life during 1890 certain
ly greatly exceeded the somewhat
similar manifestation Of 1884, the
last preceding yer in which a
panic can be said to have existed.
The general hope, however, IS that
1891 will make amends to the
business world for the poor treat
ment that 80 accorded them. And
though the process of recuperatlon
is apt to be slow, it would seem
that fairer financial conditions are
already appearing, with a decided
prospect that the varied material
interests of the country will soor
again be in the enjoyment OF theil
yonted activity and prosperity.

BOONE COUNTY FINANCES.
They and the Officials There
Seem to Be in q Very
Bad Way.

RocHEPoRT, Mo-, Jan. 1.-Since
the shortage in the accounts of J.
c. Gillaspy, Treasurer of Boone
County, to the extent of $40, 600,
was brought to light some two
weeks ago, wild rumors have been
in circulation regarding other off.
cials down at the county seat.
Saturday last the three judges of
the County Court, Angel, Roberts
and Smith, were arrested on q war
rant sworn out by Prosecuting At
torney Gordon and placed under
bond charged with maifeasance in
Office in connection with the af-
fairs of the Treasurer's Office.
Treasurer Gillaspy was also placed
under $500 bond. The investi-
eating committee claimed to have
found shortage of 81 500 In the
accounts of the retiring Sheriff, J.
G. Evans, as far as examin.
de. The investigation Is still in
progress. Monday Evans was ar.
rested by a United States deputy
marshal on a charge of completely
with a band of counterfeiters who
were captured near Harrisburg in
this county six months ago. An
indictment was found against
Evans by the recent United States
grand-jury. The Taxpayers of
Boone county are indignant over
developments in the affairs of the
county.

Corn Fodder.

Corn fodder ia a good dairy feed,
but unless it is run through the
cutter it is very inconvenlent to
feed, and the uneaten stalks are a
great bother in the manure. A
good plan when it is not conven-
lent to use d cutter is to take a
hatchet or corn knife and cut the
stalks into three or four pieces,
rejecting the butts and only feed
ing the softer and better parts of
the stalks; this plan will only an
swer when a few cows are kept
and help is scarce. If the fodder
is bright and well cured the cows
will do very we'll on it but 1t ought
to be fed in the early part of the
winter, for late in the season it gets
hard and harsh and the cows do
not like it SO we'll. Where there
is plenty of hay a good plan is to
ieed hay in the stable and feed
the fodder in racks in yards in the
middle of the day. In this way
the fodder will not need to be cut,
the COWS will eat of the leaves anc
husks and the stalks being thrown
out daily will be broken up anc
will absorb much of the linuic
manure.
