| While candidates are considered
legitimate prey, yet the custom, which
seems to be growing, of calling on
them for subscriptions for every pur.
pose under the sun, by the people, Is
disgusting in the extreme. We saw
q half dozen men with petitions for
various purposes circulating among
the candidates Yesterday and each
candidate was expected to subscribe
toward each of the causes. The can.
didates of to-day are usually poor men
and this disgusting, bleeding process
should be frOwned upon.-Venture.
We agree with the Venture; it is q
disgusting process.

Considerable excitement was Great
ed Wednesday by the arrest of Joe
Crowley and Dave and John Furie for
passing counterfeit money. 1t appears
that Crowley passed bad dollar at
one of the lunch counters. The owner
remembered where he got 1t from and
requested Crowley to take 1t back,
which the latter refused to do and the
lunch counter man caused his arrest.
In the mean time Crowley had been
seen to drop several more pieces of
the money into u cistern full of water
On being arrested Crowley is said tC
have implicated the two Furfe's and
they were arrested and their homes
searched, but so far as we can learn
nothing of an discriminating nature
found. All the parties were put un'
der $1,000 bond and their examination
was held yesterday.
