A GOOD SIZED GANG.
Additions to the Local Colony of Al
legged Lafayette COunterfeiters.

The Lafayette counterfeiters' delegation
will be increased to-day by the addition of
George Liston and Peter Scheibly, who are
also charged with spending some of the
bad dollars which have landed three of
the enterprising citizens of that place in
the Marion county jail. Scheibly is a
saloon keeper and the suspicious circum-
stance attaching to him is the fact that on
Tuesday afternoon last week an Indian
apolis man went into his place, bought a
drink, rendered a fve-dollar bill In pay
ment and as a part of the change received
three Of these block-tin dollars. The gov
rnmen authorities have ascertained that
none of this counterfeit money was put
in circulation before Tuesday night. Had
Scheibly given out the 50 Wednesday he
the officers TO such a pronounced extent
as under the present circumstances. Then
he might have claimed with assurance that
the officers say they can show positively
that none of those dollars had been put
in circulation Tuesday afternoon: They be
have all been supplied from the same
source. George Jessop. the man who was
principal witness in the case, was released
to-day and will testify for the government
against the Others, whom he says he can
surely convict. Clawson has Joined his
companions, Hit and Bennett, in Jail and
none of them now seem likely to secure
bond.
Major Carter, special agent of the Treas
ury Department, says these counterfeiters
are the worst liars ever known, and that
they will look him straight in the face and
tell him fairy stories by the yard with
an air of such apparent truthfulness that
1t would almost convince any one but an
old-time government officer. They seem
to acquire this faculty as soon as they get
hold of their first installment of counter
felt money. United States Marshal Hawk
ms is going after Liston and Scheibly to-
daV.

LIGHT ARTILLERY REMUSTERED.
Capt. James b. Curtis Re-Elected-Tbe
Little Rock Trip.

The Indianapolis Light Artillery was re-
mustered last night at it's new armory,
on the corner of Seventh and Mississippi
streets, by Lieutenant Defrees Of the Sec
ond Infantry. U. s.. a. The following Off
GERS were then elected: James B. Curtis,
captain; D.. A. Thompson and Charles A.
Garrard, first -lieutenants; Edward john
son, second lieutenant; James f. Boswell,
first sergeant.
This organization is now in it's thirteenth
year, and for ten years past it has not
lost a single contest in which it has been
entered. This is a record of which the
members may we'll be proud. Their new
armory. which they have just moved into,
was built entirely with prize money earned
by them, at a cost of about $4,000. they
are now very DESTROYS of going to Little
Rock this summer to take part in the
contest there, but since the erection of
their new building they have not suffi-
cient funds with which to pay their eX-
penses and equip themselves properly for
the trip, which would cost about $1,3O.
SO, unless their friends come to their re-
lief and subscribe this amount, they will
be compelled to stay at home. The MEM
bers believe that they are justly entitled
to this much assistance from the citizens
here.

Mayor Denny Discusses Councils Action
on Alabama Street.

Mayor Denny said yesterday in regard
to the action Of the Councai on the Ala
bama-street Improvement ordinances:
while / don't believe the Council did
just what Is right in not supporting the
Board of Works in this matter, L am not
prepared to fully condemn their action.
The property owners say they are now
ready to accept any other good pavement
not on a concrete foundation. If it can be
shown that a good and lasting pavement
can be put down according to their ideas
i should not advise the Board of Works To
reject a compromise. but on the other hand
i would rather see the street remain a mud
hole as il now is than have any
pavement put down that would not last
reasonably well and give good service while
down. L don't want TO advise any stubborn
ness in the matter, but 1 will say candidly
that / would rather see the street remain
as 1t is during my entire administration
than to have any but a first-class pave
ment put down. That don't necessarily
mean asphalt or even brick but simply a
good durable pavement such as other prop
erty owners on adjoining streets which have
been improved with asphalt nova have a
right to expect on Alabama street"

Some experimenting millers in their eff
forts to produce the new high grade -four
had a peculiar experience. IL is necessary,
by way Of explanation. to state that -four
is made in various grades, depending upon
the quality Of wheat and the system of
milling employed. There are the ''low
grades" the clear the straight" the
patent" and the "cap sheaf." The leap
sneaf' is the highest grade because it
contains all the wheat, the whole wheat.
IN a highly refined state, excepting the
bran. which is unfit for human food. Bran
really is not food, but is a "physic" or
regulator to mix in the foods Of cattle.
cap shear differs from patent -four.
not so much in color as in the fact that
nature produce wheat for human food
not for beasts, and puts in the wheat. just
under the bran, certain lamina peculiarly
adapted TO brain, nerve and teeth b0ilding
in man, and these lamina or layers of
glutenous and heterogeneous material. though
largely absent in patent flour, are secured
and retained in cap sheaf'' by the latest
improvements. The word patent is at
tached to patent -four in order to mis-
lead the people and make them believe it
is the best. for there is and never was a
patent on any kind of flour. The word
patent" and best" are Unfortunately
applied to various brands, when they are
neither patent or best" For wears the
medical and dental profession have eau
toned Americans against eating bread de-
ficient in Nerve, Brain and Teeth materi-
ais, until finally milling has attained to the
ability to produce cap sheaf' flour at a
price which makes it marketable. Now the
experimenting millers spoken Of above
found that in some way a hole had been
torn in the silk boiling cloth and the
starchy patent grades had gotten mixed
with their cap sheaf'' grade. and the
mixed Hour had been shipped to eqstomers,
for patent" flour is nearly all starch,
and hence the proportion Of the nerve,
brain and teeth materials was lessened. 1t
VIII prove a costly accident.

THEY WANT ARBITRATION.
Carpenters Send a Letter to Contractors
Mr.. Bender's Letter.

The following letter to the General Con-
tractors Association. and signed by the
executive committee, is the result of the
meeting Of the Carpenters District Council
yesterday afternoon:
1--WE are instructed by the Carpenters
District Council of this city to say that our
executive committee is ready to meet a like
committee from your body at any time or
place your committee may decide to meet
them for the settlement of the trouble be
tween your body and the carpenters or this

of the contractors have signed their scale,
with prospects of most Of the others sign
Yesterday morning contractor Conrad
Bender received an anonymous letter,
the destruction of his property if he did
not sign the scale and use his influence TO
get the other contractors to sign 1t. The
that Mr.. Bender placed ii In the hands Of
United States COMMISSIONS Van Euren for
Investigation. The federal officers believe
they have a cleW to the writer, and If
caught the contractors will use every effort
to convict him.
The carpenters claim that outside men
are taking advantage Of the strike to come
here and take the places of the strikers.
They say that several men from outside
towns have applied to the Builders Ex-
change for work, and were Immediately
assigned. The bosses claim that when the
scale was abrogated last fall for the win
ter season the men agreed not to work for
anyone for less than % cents an hour, but
instead of keeping their agreement they
worked for any price they could get from
outside contractors. but would not work for
a member of the association for less than
the scale. This, the bosses claim, was an
unjust discrimination against them. The
carpenters admit that some of their men,
bers may have worked for less than %
cents during the winter, as a matter of ne
cessity, but they don't think this is a good
reason for the bosses to refuse to comply
with their verbal agreement to restore
wages to the old scale of 80 cents an hour
on the LIST of April.

Criminal Court Continues to Dis
charge Convicted Law Breakers.
Afidavits Against a Democratic Chief
tain and Others Quashed-Minor
Items of the Courts.

William Gustave Welt and
Michael Lucid, liquor law violators, went
before Judge Cox for trial yesterday morn
inc. All three had been convicted in the
Police Court and appealed to the Criminal
Court. The attorney for the trio moved to
quash the affidavit against the offenders.
and attorney Hoffman, after looking over
the document, suggested that it be done.
The prosecutor gave as an excuse that this
proceeding was made necessary on account
of the "hurly-burly" fashion adopted by
the police judge in trying liquor cases. He
said that the afidavits would have to be
refled in the Police Court before the Grim
inal Court could legally deal with the Of
tenders. 1t is hardly likely that the cases
will ever be tried.

Her Husband Ignored Her.

Margaret Matthews will have a singular
story of distress to pour into the ears of

comes up for trial. Yesterday she filed a
complaint against her husband, Wilson
Matthews, accusing him of the specific
charge of abandonment. She AYERS that he
resorted TO an unmanly way of getting rid
of her, and was assisted in the scheme by
his parents. Recently she went out of the
city to visit some friends, and when she
returned found that her husband had also
gone. She CHANGED to meet him on the
street a few days later and he refused to
speak to her, she says. Then she went to
the home of his parents to learn the motive
of this peculiar attitude on the part of her
husband. Here the door was slammed in
her face, she says, and she realized that
she was a deserted wife. The court is asked
