BOGUS NIcKELs.
A Clever Manipulator's Raid ON the
Slot Machines.

The nickel-in-the-slot machines did a
big business in this city yesterday, and
the owners thereof imagined they were
reaping a harvest. But they were not.
and after the player had cleaned out
all of the stock in the machine except
what he dropped in himselD he moved
on until he bumped up against another.
The player, or players feeced the ma
chimes with bogus nickels which were
a little the best counterfeit seen here
in many long day. They were per-
feet in appearance. the lettering and
fine milling on the inside of the rim
being as true as the pieces minted by
the United States authorities. In
weight, too, they agreed with the gen.
uine article. but there was about them
that velvety, soapy feeling peculiar to
Lead, which could be detected easily on
handling them. and they would cut like
cheese.
In one machine. at Fourth and L
streets, the entire stock of good nickels
player, and S14 Of bogus nickels showed
player, and $14 of bogus nickles showed
how he had traded bad money for good.
Several other machines about town
were buncoed in like manner, and the
Police Department is making every ef
fort to lay hands on the utterer of the
bogus coins, for storekeepers are in
danger of being feeced, as we'll as the
slot machines.
The coins themselves seem to be
mixture of pewter and lead. They bear
every date from 1892 to 1899, showing
that the counterfeiters use a number
of dies. The police would like to get
those same dies.
SO far as is known no effort has been
made to pass the spurious nickles ex-
cept on the voracious slot machine. and
these seem to have been pretty we'll
worked Yesterday.

Diamonds Discovered in wisconsin.

The report that diamonds have been
found in Wisconsin will draw thousands
to that State. How madly we rush after
riches, and how little we treasure the only
true wealth-Health. All of the diamonds
and money in the world cannot bring hap
piness without health Because of its
mad rush for wealth, America has become
a nation of dyspeptics. No other people
abuses its stomachs as we do, and there
fore no other nation is so subject to ner-
vousness. insomnia, indigestion, bilious
ness and torpid liver Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has restored more weak stom-
achs to health than can be counted. It's
results have been phenomenal. To avoid
limitations be sure that a private revenue
stamp covers the neck of the bottle.

PISTOL ACCIDENT.
Constable Clark Receives a Flesh
Wound in the Leg.

About 7:15 O'Clock last evening Con-
stable William P. Clark, who lives in
the alley between Sixth and Seventh P
and Q streets, met with an accident
which might easily have proved fatal.
After going home for supper Clark
forgot to take his revolver from his
pocket. Subsequently, while in his
ackyard. the revolver fell from his
pocket and was discharged, the ball en-
tering his right leg, back of the knee,
and coming out near the front.
Fortunately the bullet missed the
bone, and it is believed the wound viii
not result seriously unless complica-
lions set in.
Clark was treated at the Receiving
Hospital by DR.. Ogden, Assistant City
Physician, and was subsequently taken
to his home

order from the bench affirming the
Judgment of the Superior Court.
Mosher and w. ]. Holmes were part
ners in a K-street saloon which they
appropriately called the Real Thing, :"
for if ever there was a robbers den
that was one. On the night of Janu-

a majority decision in the case of the

The opinion sustained the Judgment

business delegated to the receiver.
Yesterday, however, the Supreme
Court, sitting in bank, granted a re-
hearing, and the case remains submit
