Counterfeited the Brand.

For year or more certain Canadian
distillers have mlstrusted that their
special brand of whiskey, labels and
bottles have been counterfeited in
Minneapolis. Recently officers thor

cedure, as the were armed with writ

pole. The news of DR.. Nansen's success
has aroused intense interest in this
city. The report received from Irkutsk,
Siberia, was generally discredited at
first, although more faith was placed
in it than in the previous rumors winch
reached London during the last L.,
months. The dispatch from the British
consul at Archangel, however, is re-
garded as conclusively showing that
the Norwegian explorer is homeward
bound, even if he has not discovered the
pole. Dispatches received here from
different parts Of the continent indicate
that the same interest in the news from
the north is manifested throughout
Europe, and it is also generally credited
at the European capital.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.
Manlzato MYsteries.

Two strange disappearances have oc-
Cured at Mankato. One of these was
that of Emma Bucha, who had been
employed by Landlord Zimmerman. as
cook at the City Hotel for a consider
able length of time. She had been
observed to act a little peculiarly, but
it was not until recently that it was
feared that any harm had come to her.
The peculiar feature of the case is
that MISS Bucha is known to have had
money in the banks, to the amount Of
$500. This sum was not all that she
had saved from her earnings, for she
had also sent considerable sum of
money to her parents in Glencoe. She
held a note for this. The police have
done some investigating, but so far
without finding trace of her. 1t is
feared by those who have been &C
quainted with the girl that in some way
she has become demented.
William Riarden has now been absent
for nearly a week, and fears are enter

HER CHECK WAS a clNDER.
There Was Enough Left for Identified
ton, and She Got Her Money.


ton, and She Got Her Money.
Many curious stories have been told
concerning bank checks Some of these
relate to the largest drawn and others
to the smallest. One of the largest
checks ever drawn in this city was at
the time that the capital of the Nevada
bank was increased from 100000 to
S1O,000,0OO. This check was by Flood
s. O'Brien for $5,OOO,OO0. AS to the
extreme, checks have been drawn to
the value of single cent. Other stories
relate to the circuit made by checks
before they are finally taken up and
destroyed. Some of these migrations
have covered different states and hun
dreds of miles. In these journeys
checks have gone over ground several
times. Checks are wonderful money
savers; that is, they save the hand
ling of vast sums of money every day.
They also serve to minimize the loss
of money from mistakes, thefts, or
other causes.
But one Of the greatest curiosities in
the check line has just come to light
in this city. A lady brought it to the
Bank of California to be cashed. It
was in paper box and had to be handled
very carefully, for it was in two pieces
and both were burnt to crisp. There
was not decipherable word on either
piece. The lady said the bits Ct
crisp paper represented check for
$125, which she had received in let
ter. The check, she said, was drawn
by the national bank of D. O. Mills, of
Sacramento. She had removed the let
ter from the envelope and had thrown
the envelope on some live coal in the
CRATE. Upon reading the letter she had
found reference to an Enclosure of
check for the sum named, and turned
to the fire in the CRATE with sore dis
appointment. The fire had done it's
work. The crisp paper lay on the Goals.
She carefully removed the same, placed
it in a box and hurried to the Bank of
California to get the money before the
pieces were further crumbled.
After listening to the story the Off
GERS of the bank made careful ex-
animation of the burnt paper, and by
I he aid of powerful glasses, they were
able to make out portions of words
from the pen impressions made on the
paper. There were enough of these
lines left to show that ella" had been
written, and part of the word ''hun.
dred" was also made, out, with two
or three letters of the name of the
bank. These discoveries corresponded
with the story of the lady, and the
bank officers then communicated the
circumstances to the national bank OF
D. o. Mills & Co., of Sacramento, and
asked for duplicate check in behalf
Of the lady. This was forwarded and
the money was paid. The circumstance
disproved the charge about the Curl
osity of women. Had there been more
curiosity about the Enclosure of the
envelope the trouble would have been
avoided. The practical application of
the story is to be careful that what you
throw into the fire has no further value
for, YOU San Francisco Bulletin.

The Mile Laos Matter.

The Mile Laos lake settlers have
come to the conclusion that further
absolute dependence upon the congress
ional and senatorial delegations from
Minnesota is almost fruitless, and they
will engage a st. Cloud lawyer to go to
Washington and urge upon the depart
ment of the interior the justice and
desirability of opening up the lands in
cluded within the old reservation set
Element. Under the present conditions
a man may locate on land on the reser-
walton, but he cannot obtain any title
to the land, for the reason that all APP
plications for land in this region are
rejected by the local land officers, act
ing, of course, under instructions from
the general land Office. The presence
of the Indians on the land is a constant
source of menace to the settlers, who
have gone into the vicinity of the lake
and make improvements on their real
estate holdings.
