Alfred acted as broker for some rich peo-
ple. lending their money out and paying
the interest as it become due. After a
long time it was learned, it is SAID by the
nerest accident that notes for several
thousand dollars were forgeries.
The grand jury found fifteen indict-
ments against Ficklin, and the cases came
TO trial this week. The first case was
proven clearly, but by a blunder of the
states attorney in copying the Indictment,
the note was mis-described, and Judge
Henry Vansellaer of Paris ordered the
Jury to render a verdict of acquittal,
which was done.
The next case was called, and while it
was in progress the states attorney made
the astounding statement that he had been
robbed in open court, and all of the forged
notes stolen. There was a dramatic scene,
but no one was able to find the notes, and
the case on trial went the way of the first.
Then, with eleven indictments left, the
states attorney obtained a continuance
till the January term of the circuit court,
in order to try and find the notes.
A. C. Ficklin was then tried for insan-
ity and taken to the Kankakee asylum.

An independent Jewish State

A new scheme is now on foot, fathered
by DIR. Theodore Herzel, of Vienna, for
creating an Independent Jewish state in
Palestine. Zionism is the name which
has been given the new movement by it's
founder, and it is supposed to both the
religious and racs prejudices of the Israe-
lites. 1t is quite likely that the Jews of
Austria and Russia, prosecuted and un-
popular, may take lively interest in
Zionism, especially as it will be we'll
backed by the cash of the wealthy men,
bers of the race,
The principle obstacle to the carry ing
out of the scheme is that the Sultan of
Turkey holds Palestine and will not give
up without struggle.
