CHECK RAIsERs CAPTURED.
Wray and Winters Arrested in Cleve-
land But 1t Is Doubtful, If They Can
BE Punished.

Chief Of Police Bennett recently
received the following letter from
Superintendent of Police George e.
Corner, Of Cleveland, which an
nounces the capture to the check
raisers who operated in this city
about a week ago and taught several
business men lesson:
"City of Cleveland,
department of Police,
December 30, 1897.
Thomas D. Bennett, Chief OF Po-
lice, Wheeling:
Dear Strive have in custody JOS
eph Winters, alias MONTE Boneberg,
and John Wray, alias Ray They
are the parties who offered check
at the First National Bank at Al
lance, O., for payment. The cash
Ter not knowing them, refused to pay
the:cash, but received it for collection.
1t is a check on the German Half
Dollar Savings Bank, of your city,
payable to the order of John Wray,
amount $50, signed G. e. Calligan,
ssOriginally the check was made for
So, which was raised to $50 when pre-
sented in Alliance, and therefore was
not cashed. They left the address
to remit to Cleveland, and last night
we arrested the parties and they are
now both in custody awaiting your
reply.
"The check was endorsed by John
Wray and Joseph Winters. This is
no doubt forgery, and if you can
and want to prosecute the parties adj
wise me at once Respectfully yours,
GEORGE e. CORNER,
''Supt. of Police"
Several checks for eight dollars each
were obtained from local business
men, but as far as known, no one has
actually lost any money, while one
man is in the eight dollars, as the
check was never presented. Another
gentleman gave his check most will
ingly, but took the precaution to
perforate it with machine, and as a
result it was simply cashed for its
face value.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the Prosecuting Attorney
yesterday; but as there is no possible
way of proving whether the raising
of the figures was done in this State
or Ohio, Chief Bennett was advised
that the parties under arrest could
not be successfully extradited and
the Cleveland police were advised to
that feet. AS result, the prisoners
will probably be set free to-day, to
continue their robberies of business
men. Wheeling Register.

And now "success to An"


And now "Success to All"
What is it to succeed? Is il to gain
Applause from men, the vacuous refrain
From tickle ,xds, who waste their idle
roar
Like ocean waves upon a rock-bound
shore,
Whose finest ferver fades as suddenly
As does the full-eyed sun from tropiC
sky?
Is it to gain great store Of gathered gold
That can for you earth's choicest gifts
But brings no happiness to minds un-
To use its wondrous powers as they
ought,
Which tempts too long stay in pleas
ure's bowers
Like bees in over lush of summer flow
ers?
Nay, rather It's to take the life that's
given,
And mould it to the pattern set by
heaven:
To train its every possibility
AS ever in the great Taskmaster's eye"
To work and strive that others, sore dis
tressed
May, to your living, be ioreveer blessed:
To shun no toll, nor Weld to adverse fate,
But willing be to labor and to wait:
To keep your motives pure as sleeping
lake,
Doing each duty for dear duty's sake,
Such is the ideal God himself will bless
Such are the attributes of true success.

have gone before, that affairs are quiet and satisfactory. The State Depart ment has come to have fully as great sense of appreciating Admiral Dewey's diplomatic ability as the coun- try has for his naval skill and cour- age, and the best evidence of this is that it has not found it necessary up to this point to intervene in any way, either to protect or to amend his works.
