To the Citizens CT Chanute:
Having BEEN urged by many friends

Passed Counterfeit Money !,

Several months ago Policeman
Scott arrested a man in Green's
boro, who, he had reason to believe,
was passing counterfeit money.
He was in restaurant where he
rendered in payment a IS ce It
piece which was counterfeit be-
yond any doubt. When he was
ca ried before a U. S. Commits
sioner he gave his name as Chas.
Clark, and gave such a plausible
account Of the transaction that he
was not held, though Officer Scott
said at the time that he was salts
fed he was guilty and that he had
an accomplish, but he could not
find him, and the evidence before
the commissioner was incomplete.
This was the last heard of Clark
until yesterday, when he was ar
rested in Burlington, together
with another man, charged with
the same offence-passing spurious
coin. It seems that the state au-
thorities got hold Of him first, but
efforts are being made to have him
turned over to Uncle Sam, who
can attend to his case with much
better diligence. Clark will be
sent here If he is held for the U. S.
court.-Greensboro Record.

REV. BosTIc OFF
He is Now In the Eastern Part Of the
State Visiting Friends.

Rev. G. P. Bostic, the returned
missionary from China, who lee
tured at the First Baptist church,
of which he was at one time pas
tor, Monday and Tuesday nights,
left yesterday morning for Raleigh.
He expected to 60 on to Colds
boro on the o'clock train, where
he would lecture last night, and
leave this morning for Penden and
Sampson counties on a visit to re-
latives and friends.
In conversation with a reporter
he said that he did not know
whether he would be able to get
back to Durham again before he
left for his field Of labors in far-off
China or not as he had so many
places to visit. He also said that
Mrs. Bostic, who is now at Shell
by, Y. c., was in very poor health,
though she is not seriously i'll.
Rev. and Mrs. Bostic and chill
'ren will sail for China some time
in September, but they have not
yet decided upon the exact time.

EUGENIE BLAIR LAST NIGHT
A Good Actress Greeted by a Large
and Well Pleased Audience.

The Eugene Blair Company
played at the Opera House last
night to a good sized audience
the main auditorium being some
thing over two-thirds full and the
gallery with an average sized crowd.
The play was EAST Lynne" and,
but for the fact that the Alice Byno
Compa played mis- piece here
only last week, no doubt the house
would have been crowded.
Eugene Blair, whose great rep
utation as an actress Of the first
magnitude had proceeded her,
fully sustained that reputation and
captured the audience. As s.Lady
Isabel, she looked like a queen,
and as "Madame Vine" a broken
hearted woman who was sorry for
the folly she had played in life.
Nor was she alone in her fine
acting, for she was ably supported
by Edwin Ferry, who played well
the part of "Sir Francis Levison"
and by his treachery won fair
'Iady Isabel" from the man she
loved, and who loved her, and
caused her to be "Madame Vine, /"
who died with a broken heart in
the last act. She "died" so natural
that il made one feel almost as if
they we're actually in sick room
and Witnessing one Of the saddest
OF deaths.
These two we're supported by a
verystrong company and "Cornelia
Carlyle" kept the audience laugh
ing by her "old maidishn actions.
II was a well pleased audience
that left the Opera House last
night at II o'clock and Eugene
Blair should have crowded house
wherever she may go.

Another Railroad Wreck Near Cary
Yesterday Morning.
IT OCCURRED AT THE CROSSING
The Air Fakes on the Southern Failed to Work
So It Is Said.
THE FIREMAN JUMPED AND WAS INJURED
Several Cars ON Both Trains Badly
Used Up---only One Man
Slightly Hurt.

There was another wreck at
Cary, where the Southern and Sea-
board Air Line roads cross, yester-
day morning between s and 9
o'clock.
From passengers who came up
on the tram due to arrive here o:5o
o'clock, but which was something
over an hour late, it was learned
that freight train on the Sea-
board road was crossing when a
freight on the Southern road came
in.
When the engineer on the
Southern train saw that the Sea-
board train was in the way he
made an effort to stop but the air
brakes failed to work and his en-
CINE plunged into the S. A. l.
freight with considerable force.
The fireman jumped from his post
and in SO dong was bruised up in
several places but was soon able to
60 back to his work.
Several flat cars of the Seaooard
train were broken up and knocked
into all kinds of shapes, but no
one on that train was hurt. A
wrecking crew left here few min-
utes alter the accident and the
track was clear enough for trains
to pass in an hour and a half.
The Southern train passed here
shortly after the two passenger
trains had pulled out and seven OF
their cars were broken and splint-
cred up on the sides.
1t is Understood that the accident
was unavoidable and that the rail-
road authorities do not blame
either side.

The TomahaWx0 Writes Of What
Happened Years Ago.
NOT HANKERING FoR ANOTHER
re Mule Rolled hm Out Of Bed ID The geid
Hour Of the Night
THERE WERE TWO BADLY SCARED men
All This Happened in the Mississippi
swamps Quarter Of a
Century Ago.

Did you ever have any expert
ence with Mexican mules? / have,
and ! am not hankering after any
more. In the year OF our Lord
1871, | was staying at Silver
Greek landing on the Sun Flower
river-in the very heart Of the Mis-
sissippi swamp, and fourteen miles
from the nearest habitation. There
were two Of us and a negro boy
cook, composing the entire popu-
lation.
The yellow fever had broken out
in Vicksburg and all boats were
quarantined and there were none
passing up or down the river for
six weeks. To relieve the monotony
we concluded to get a wagon and
pair of mules and haul wood to
the bank to sell the boats when
they commenced running again.
We got both wagon and mules.
The. latter we fastened to the I'M
derpinning of our sleeping COM
partment with log chains. The
mouse was set up on cypress blocks
about four feet high, and the floor
had been laid down of green
timber without being nailed and
had about two inch cracks between
each plank.
A few days after we came into
possession of this pair of long
haired, long named disgrace to the
mule family, there came up a ter
rible storm, the wolves were howl
ing all around us, while an occa-
sional growl of a black bear or the
piercing cry of panther added
horror to our situation.
Before dark we closed and dou-
ble-barred the doors, put our pis-
tolls and rifles on the rack above
the bed, and a lamp and matches
on the table within reach, and
turned in for the night.
1t must have been somewhere
about the middle of the night that
we both woke. The bed was rising
on the side, and the next moment
we were dumped into the far cor
ner of the room in darkness, blacker
than Erebus. The table had gone
with the bed-the lamp smashed
and the matches lost. The tension
for a minute or more was awful,
when Allen, my companion, put
out his hand to feel. 1t came in
contact with shaggy hair, and
with yell of terror | shall never
forget, there came from his open
throat the paralyzing words:
Bear! my Cod" The stiffness
of death after this was broken by
the most welcome sound ] ever
heard-the braying of a Mexican
mule.
In wallowing, the mule had
rolled under the house, and when
he rose he came up between the
sleepers, turning them over gen.
orally. Allen had taken his name
for bears neck and we were we'll
nigh frightened to death. | had
to beg to save the "critter's" life
from the reaction in my compan-
ions feelings.
We had more experience with
this same pair, but ] will save that
for future occasion.

conception of these canals. II is I'M
possible, in a few Paragraphs, to give
either Mr.. Lowell's observations or his
arguments and proofs, but The same
ratient study that convinces us that
the so-called seas are deserts, or at
least land, seems to demonstrate that
the canals, which have an average
breadth of about thirty miles, and run
on the area of great circles, are
really strips of verdure, through
which runs slender stream of water,
which cannot be seen. The canals, or
these strips visible when the snow
melts, change color, grow darker and
finally fade into invisibility, following
the process of green, ripening and de-
caying vegetation -Harper's Maya
