RAISED A DOLLAR BILL
WILLIAM Sewers, A YOUNG MAN,
CONVICTED IN FEDERAL COURT.
Dangerous Class OF Counterfefters
Sprfngfng Up over the Country
Alterations Hard to Detect.

William Sewers. q young man aged about
twenty-five years, was tried by jury in the
United States Court yesterday for an offense
which, the government officials say. Is be-
coming popular with the shrewder class of
counterfeiters.
Sewers was charged with having raised.
by q chemical process. 81 bill to a so.
The work was so cleverly done that it was
not detected until several days after 1t left
Sowers's hands. The prosecuting witnesses
against Sewers were Mrs. Harriet Faulkner.
boarding house keeper Of Martinsville and
her clerk, Viola Maxwell. The raised $40
bill was passed on Mrs. Faulkner Sept. /.
1895, by Sewers. The latter spent q day at
Mrs. Faulkner's house and paid his bill TO
the young lady clerk. The evidence was
that Sewers rendered $40 bill that was
apparently genuine and received $9.z In
change. After he had gone the boarding
house keeper discovered that she had been
taken In. Sewers admitted that the bill had
been tempered with. He said he explained
this to the clerk when he handed her the
money. He told her that the bill was worth
81 and that It had been passed upon him by
corn doctor of this city. He insisted that
he had received but 70 cents In change.
Sewers was arrested several months after
the Martinsville transaction on his fathers
farm near Dexter. Kan. His only defense
was that he did not try to deceive, the
Martinsville people in passing the bin on
them. but frankly explained that 1t had been
raised. The jury took the case at o'clock.
A verdict OF guilty was reached after ten
minutes elaboration. Sewers will receive
his sentence later.
Major Carter treasury agent. in speaking
OF the Sewers case said: These fellows
are the most dangerous Of any class OF
counterfeiters. They can take a 81 bill and
they can raise the bill to a ten There are
very few people, aside from government
agents and bankers, who can detect one of
these jobs after it has been skillfully done.
This kind of work Is growing popular with
certain class of criminals and ii is one
of the great dangers the government will
have to contend with"

Possible Change I'm Mileage.

The passenger departments of some Of the
leading roads are considering the adssa-
bilty Of requiring mileage book holders TO
exchange their mileage coupons for tickets
at the stations, and instructing the con-
ductors not to accept coupons for passage
1t Is proposed TO do this by inserting a clause
on the contract In future book sales. Primar-
lily the object Is to keep the mileage from
getting into hands OF others than the original
purchasers, but the change. it Is claimed,
will greatly relieve the overworked train
conductors. One of the latter recently said
it is now as difficult to collect the tickets on
a train of four coaches as Ii was on ten
coaches before the mileage book came into
so geenral use. The use or mileage is rapid
ly increasing, and much larger per centage
OF the travel is now carried on that class of
tickets than persons who have not in
yestgated would believe.

Oconto, Wis, May 23.-[SpeciaIE
George II. Holt, vice-president of the
Green Bay Transportation company,
has been in Chicago and Milwaukee,
offering wholesalers a lower rate than
railroad companies are hauling freight
for, if they will ship goods by water
with his company. In Oconto other mem
bers of the transportation company have
secured the names of nearly all business
men, who agree TO have all cOnsign-
ments possible come by the same route.
The big boat outgoing will always be
loaded with lumber. Recently the COM
pany requested Congressman Alexander
Stewart to call on the chief engineer
at Washington and ascertain if certain
dredging might not be done in the Ocon-
to harbor at government expense, with
the result that Capt. linn of Milwaukee
was authorized to dispatch an assistant
to take soundings, and J. i. Whalen
has Just completed the work. The in
tention is to use up the unexpected bal
ance of the appropriation formerly made
for the harbOr at this point. I he gov
eminent dredge is now at Sturgeon Bay.
Whea the transportation cOmpanys en-
gineers have located the dock, the dredge
will be brought to the OcontO side of
the bay and the harbOr dredged at the
outside shore line to sufficient depth
to accommodate the transfer boat and
the tug Balcom-the latter now in dry
dock at Green Bay. The Oconto com
pany's dredge, now at Bay de Moquet,
will arrive next week and the river
cleaned out to allow uninterrupted pas
sage of the big boat up from the bay.

BONES OF AN INDIAN.
Remains of an Ancient Being Found
Near Appleton.

Near Appleton.
Appleton. Wis., May 23.-[Special.] i
In screening a load of sand taken from
a sand pit on the shore of Lake Winnie
bago, near the Waverly Beach summer
resort, a few miles from Appleton, work
men discovered pieces of human bones.
Sexton Dennis Miedow of Riverside
cemetery had the remainder of the load
carefully screened and all the fragments
saved and was rewarded by securing
enough fragments to indicate beyond a
doubt that the remains were those of an
Indian of very large stature and great
age. Portions of the thigh bones were
found broken into small bits, but suffi-
cient to show that the remains were
those of a man considerably over 6 feet
in height-probably nearer Z. The bones
of several fingers, found intact, also indi-
cate unusual size. Nearly one-half of
the lower jawbOne was found with all
the teeth embedded in it, and this, too,
is much larger than that of the average
man. A number Of other teeth were also
found loose. All these teeth are worn
down perfectly smooth nearly to the
zoots and must have been nearly level
with the gums in life. This would indi-
cate extreme age on the part of the
owner No Indian burial ground in the
vicinity where they were found is remem-
bered by old settlers reabouts, and no
other bones have ever been taken from
the sand pit in question, hence it is
probable that the grave was q solitary
one of some long ago warrior. No trink-
cts of any kind were found among the

FAVOR AN EXTENSION.

Princeton, Wis, May 23-[Special.]-
It is proposed to extend the Marshfield
& Southeastern railway, running from
Marshfield to Centralia, a distance of
thirty miles, down through Portage and
Waushara counties and connect either
with the Chicago, Milwaukee Il st. Paul
railway at Berlin or the North Western
line at Princeton. In either case the
road would run first to Nekoosa, on the
Wisconsin river where large pulp and
paper mills will be established; thence
southeast, crossing the Wisconsin Cen
trail at either Plainfeld or Hancock, and
running through Wautoma. the county
seat of Waushara county, either to
Princeon or Berlin. If built, as its pro-
jectors say it surely will be, it will open
quite a stretch Of territory now without
railroad facilities. With the North West
ern lines, if it is extended to this place,
it will make a through line from Chicago
