John A. Skoog was arrested last night
by Policemen Mcdonald and Rogers for
Offering one new counterfeit twenty-dollar
silver certificate. He had four in his pos
session. He refused to give the police any
information whatever. He was turned
over to United States officers this morn
ing, and soon gave his name and address
and confessed that he Is the maker OF
said notes and the only shower OF the
same. The notes were made by photo
graphic process. He was also making
hundred-kron notes on the Sveriges
Riksbank, Stockholm, Sweden, dated Jan
uary l, 1892
The officers went to his room and cap
tured a complete outfit, consisting of neg

but he was i'll and was unable to speak
more than to express his thanks.
Judge Clagett also made brief ad-
dress, in the course of which he said he
intended to spend the greater portion OF
the next two years in missionary work
in the middle northwest. Continuing, he
paid a high tribute to the new senator
saying:

wears, He is one of the best men that
lives in the state, a large farmer, man
of property and of means, the owner and
conductor of many of the warehouses
of the counties of Latah and Nez Perce,
a great man, a pure man, and although
inexperienced so far as public affairs are
concerned, let no one imagine for mo-
ment that when he assumes the high du-
ties of his high office that any one Is
going to be smart enough to deceive him.
