Of the maximum freight rate bill The
governor gave as his reason for vetoing
the bill that its provisions are too radi-
cal. Iowa is entitled, said he. to lower
rates than Nebraska because Of her
increased mileage and greater popula-
tion. He would favor q maximum
rate bill on staple agricultural prod ucts,
but could not approve OF an inflexible

bill would give the railroads an opp5r-
tunity to advance interstate rates
which would be a damage to Ne.

A We'll Made Counterc,.it

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-The secret
service officers declare that the 81 sill
yer certificate counterfeit is a most
dangerous one. The vignette Of Han.
cock is as fine as the original and the
lettering and lathe work is an exact
copy of the treasury note. In fact, the
only difference is too minute to be WIS.,
ible to the naked eye. In the upper
left hand and lower right hand corners
OF the genuine note is the figure .'2,"
and on its face is engraved in charac-
ters SO minute that they are not legi-
BILE except under the magnifying glass
the word two repeated three
times. In the counterfeit the word
'two" is similarly engraved the same
number of times. but in two cases the
counterfeiter has made the letters read
"Owt" The discovery Of the counter
felt is not new thing. Attention was
called to 1t some time ago. but the un-
known counterfeiters watch the secret
service bulletins closely. When the
discrepancy was discovered in a note
bearing the check letter "A" and the
signature OF &c. N. Jordan" the coun-
terfeiters changed the check number to
'B, and the name to that of Treasurer
Hyatt The entire circulation OF the

Many Not NaturalIznd.

The word has been sent by secret
means all over the region that their
comrades were fired on and moved down
without any provocation, and deadly
vengeance on each and every member
OF the guards has been sworn to. This
all con- es from the foreign element 1t
will be noticed that all the men killed
bear foreign names, and it is fact that
not one of them was naturalized citi-
zen of this country. 1t is also supposed
that many of the wounded were foreign
ers, and this explains the deep
resentment expressed In every for
eign face In the regions. The Slavs
and Huns were almost fearless,
the deputies say. Not one was struck
on the back, but all bore marks OF bull
lets In the face, indicating that they
died fighting with what weapons they
possessed. Thousands Of strikers and
their friends poured into this place from
all over the region to have a look at the
dead and perhaps hear what the living
have to say.

Cable dispatches recently published

forwarding to Cuba of some 5000 SOL
diers from Spain. 1t was stated that
they were sent TO Havana to re-enforce
the army there with a view to suppress

might be in preparation. 1t appears
that there is nothing unusual in the

Under the heading of "Re-enforcements
for the Army" Havana paper, the

mont has been made in regard to the
approaching arrival of certain number
OF soldiers who are merely destined to
fill up the usual ranks of the army.
