The police are attempting to unravel the
mystery of a bogus NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

decided not to hold him.
From what has been learned since the
bond got into the hands of the Springfield
School Board, it is evident that it was
stolen from the mandatory of the Helm
icke-Fiegei Lithographing Company of this
city over two years ago. The company
printed the genuine bonds of the Greene
County School Board. Several samples were
made. 1t was one of these sample bonds
that was stolen and afterward put on the
market as a genuine security. The party
or parties who got possession of it and put
it in circulation very clumsily forged two
entirely fictitious names in the spaces left
for the signatures of the president and sec
rotary of the sprinfield School Board.
The names that were written in TO renre-
sent those of the president and secretary
We're w. H. Stratton and G. w NOVEL;
The genuine officers of the School Board
We're G. H. Sease, president. and Judge
James T. Neville, secretary. No pains
were taken to forge the name of the coun-
ty treasurer, who is required by law TO
countersign every school-house bond. The
space which left for his name was
not even filled in with an imaginary name.
The bond did not bear any evidence of
having been registered at Jefferson City
Up in one corner, where the number of the
bond should have been, were two ciphers
Fifteen dollars worth Of interest coupons
which should have been attached to the
bond, Were missing when the bond was
stolen. The bond had every appearance of
being a sample.
In spite of all these Irregularities this
remarkably poor imitation of a genuine
bond figured in a dozen trades and trans
ferS, always being considered at its par
value. and was finally redeemed by one of
the largest banking institutions in this city
The police have not arrested the man
who took the bond from the Heinicke-
Fiegel Company's establishment and first
put it on the market. They may have an
interesting time finding him.

and beautiful woman who watched over
him for more than forty years with unre-
hitting care and tenderness. How grateful
he was to her he showed again and again
in his poems, as well as in the course OF his
daily life.
His passionate affection for his wife
seemed to grow with the years. and II was

contented himself with brief notes merely.

But il was his wife who made IT possible
for him thus TO remain absorbed in his

of English poetry owe to her. as well as to
her husband, a deep debt OF gratitude.
