Counterfeit Currency.

Counterfeit Currency.
From the Chicago MAIL
'.More counterfeit money Il in actual circula-
ton than people In general believe" remarked
. teller in one Of Chicago's leading banks re-
Gently. "Of course only the better class of
countsrfeits remain In circulation, and even
then do not pass undetected long. The detec-
ton Of counterfeit bill, however, does not
retire il from circulation by any means. A
grocer, for instance, who finds Q IS counterfeit
bill in his money drawer ct night Is liable to
argue that he cannot well afford to lose the
amount and also that Q counterfeit which
was good enough to deceive him IL good enough
to deceive some sae else. The next day some
customer gets il In change, and ten to one 1t il
passed through dozen hands before the dis
covery b again made that il ID bogus. But its
mission does not snd here. Perhaps the last
holder Of the bill can tell who paid il to him.
II 90 the countsrfett starts to rstrace its course
but it rarely goes very far before it stops and
the whole scheme b worked over again. We
frequently have counterfeit money offered for

From New York Letter to Chicago Herald.
Ii is rumored that the women who love bsr-

Ber'. hardts example and mingle fur with gauze.
In one act Of "Cleopatrs" Sarah wears tiger
skin bound about the hips over drsperies Of
gauze. This will be soon sprung upon swell
dom by some Of the daring bellies. Fancy skirt@
of green gauze with q scarf Of ermine about the
hips. That surely would be effective. Or pic
ture some OF those golden brown furs over yel-
low gauze. Another trick Of Sarah's has been
carght-that Of swathing bodice on instead
of lacirg or hooking il. The ungodly cheese
cloth is very susceptible OF this treatment, and
the girl who is slender and litbesome can make
an effect by her mummy like folds. The soft

Prepare for a Cold Winter.


Signal obaerver Lyons, in st. Paul,
whose weather wisdom is founded
upon the records of the past, makes
this prediction relative to the ap-
preaching winter. He is quite as
likely to hit it as those who consult
the stars:
do you know that this is the latest
fall but one in the history of the
weather office, and it is just possible
that it may be the latest if frost does
not come this morning. The latest
fall in the nineteen years recorded by
the bureau was in 1884, when the first
fall of frost (?) was on Oct. 9. If all
signs do not fail we are going to have
an extremely severe winter, as the
records show by what severe winters
have been preceded. In looking over
the Official records of nineteen yearswe
find that severe winter is always
had once in every four or five years.
1t is usually preceded by three open
or mild winters, then late fall. The
winter of 1912 will be long one, with
plenty snow and severe cold. [ make
my prediction not from guess work,
but by reason of analogy"

spirit prevailing which makes men
better and nobler

ROSES GALORE.

What is New Ulm's loss will be
Mankato's gain. Mr.. Windmiller, a
roserist whose reputation is fully es-
tablished in Southern Minnesota, and
who for years has been a successful
florist at New Ulm, has purchased
about five acres Of land in East Man
kato from Mr.. HI. p Christensen, and
will Immediately remove his plant to
this city. Mr.. Windmiller advertises
himself as ''roserist" from the fact
that he gives particular attention to
the cultivation ofroses, and he has over
ahundred varieties of the choicest bush
es known to Horticulture. At the State
fair this year he took first premium,
and it is his intention to make the
finest display of roses at the Worlds
Fair ever brought to the attention of
the public.
Mankato is fortunate in securing
an industry of this nature. 1t is one
that will receive liberal patronage in
Mankato, and the field open to Mr..
Windmiller in this section is broad
enough to guarantee him thorough
ly successful business.

THE HORSE FAIR.
Its Results Reviewed by DR.. Curryer.

DR.. Curryer was preparing to catch
train for Lake Crystal Friday after
noon, when FREE Press man en-
tered his office to get his views as to
the results of the sale which closed
Thursday, but he had time to remark:
"You may say that the management
feel highly gratified with the whole
affair There was A. C. Bruce. of
Minneapolis. for instance. He is one
of the best breeders in the state. is
the owner OF the sCallion "Arcadian"
for which he paid $4,000 cash: also
the owner of the son of ''AXtel." He
sold every horse he brought to the
sale, one of his weanlings bringing as
high as 5000. There were buyers pres
ent for at least II car loads of draft
horses, but we are sorry to say that
horses of that class, if they are in the
country. were not at the sale. An
other point think worthy of mention
is that these buyers came from Chi
cago, ST. Paul, Minneapolis and Da
kota. OF course at this season of the
year draft horses are more in demand
to supply the logging regions than at
any other season. One thing is very
certain, that those who attended the
sale got an object lesson from which
no doubt great profit will be derived,
namely, that we'll bred trotting strains
are eagerly sought for as was exempli-
fed by the spirited bidding at the
sale, and also f1rst-class draft and
coach stock,
No doubt there were some who paid
an entrance fee to sell their stock and
were disappointed that they did not
dispose of it, yet the lesson learned in
regard to the markets demand will
be worth more than the entrance fee
amounted to. The prices obtained
ranged from $50 to $3.50. each, ana
strange as it may appear, the small
est and youngest brought the highest
prices, In the beginning the manage
ment were encouraged that there
would be an abundance of all classes
of horses, but their greatest fears were
that there would be few buyers, hence
they spent the greater amount Of
their funds to meet this point, and
were not disappointed. Printers ink
will tell, for the buyers were there.
but the classes of horses wanted were
not, to a certain extent. The sale
demonstrated the fact to both pro-
ducer and purchaser that Mankato is
a favorite point for holding these
Combination sales, and by this en-
couragement, the managers have de-
cided to hold another fair and sale on
June End and 3rd, 1892, at which time
there will be a better opportunity to
sell wider range Of horses, including
all classes, even those who received no
encouragement at the sale which
closed Thursday.

AT THE MUNICIPAL COURT.

The peace and quietness in the
neighborhood of Elm and North Front
streets was somewhat disturbed Sun
day afternoon. A. Philips invited
a number of his fellows to his house
to assist in disposing of keg of beer
and several bottles Of whiskey and
brandy. To this invitation they
nobly responded and were making
merry about o'clock when Chief Of
Police Yates and officer Schuettc came
along and ordered them to be quiet.
On their refusing to obey the order,
a. Philips, L. Kaufman and j, Weller
were arrested and taken to police head
quarters. Monday morning at ten
o'clock they appeared before Judge
Porter.
Kaufman plead guilty to the charge
Of being drunk and was fined s23.65,
which he paid. Jacob Weller was
fined $3.50, it being his first offense,
and he also settled. a. Philips said
that be only took a couple of drops
but he thought he was guilty and was
fined sl3.65. AS there was nobody
present TO pay the fine, he was COM
mitted to the comfy jail for twenty
days Charles Molchow, who has been
languishing in a cell since Friday
night, was charged with being drunk
and pleading guilty was fined $3.50.
''Do you want to pay your fine?"
queried the judge. ''Oh, no." said he

BAKING POWDERS.
What the Minnesota State Authorities
Know About Them.
st. Paul Mimi. Pioneer-Press.

81. Edul NlluIl, HlOu0er-HE6SS.
If there is doubt in anybodY's
mind as to the quality of the various
baking powders of the market, it will
be settled by the evidence given upon
the subject by the State officials Of
Minnesota. The Dairy and Food
Commission and the State Chemist
are the highest official authorities
upon such subjects in this State, and
their evidence will be accepted as dis
interested and unprejudiced. 1t is
their business to examine the quality
of the different food products, and to
suppress the sale of those found i'm
pure and unwholesome, and all will
admit that they have performed their
duties without fear or favor.
And recent examination by Leg
islative Committee to determine the
qualities of the various baking pow
ders sold in Minnesota, State Chemist
and analysis to the Food and Dairy
Commissioner, DR.. Benjamin f. Drew,
gave the following evidence:
Ques.-Dr. Drew, [ see by the report
of the Dairy and Food Commission
of this State that in making analysis
of the various baking powders Of this
country you report as result of your
work that the Royal Baking Powder
contains and gives off in baking a
greater per cent Of carbonic
acid gas (leayening gas) than
than any other baking powder made;
is that true?
Ans.-Yes, sir, that is fact.
QueS.-Doctor, you also found from
experiment that the Royal Baking
Powder will keep longer and retain its
qualities better than any other pow
der made, did you not?
Aas.-Yes, sir, think it does.
Qces.-Now, the two most desirable
qualities in baking powder are the
amount Of carbonic acid gas it con-
tains and gives off and the length of
time it will keep, are they not?
Ans.-Yes, sir.
QueS.-Then the Royal Baking Pow
der. possessing these qualities, is the
best powder made. is it not?
Ans.-Well, that would be the ma
tural conclusion.
Ques.-Well, that is the fact, is it
not?
Aas.-Yes, l think tits. l consider
it one OF the best baking powders
made.
