A Good A.DOllar as Uncle Sans

Some of the counterfeit silver dol
lars and halves which have been made
here and put in circulation in and
around Wilmington, are as good as
Uncle Sans stuff. That is to say,
they are as good so far as the mate
rial goes but they are somewhat de-
fective as to the milling and lettering.
Mr. B. F. Perry. the secret agent Of
the treasury department, who has been
working up the counterfeiting cases,
sent to the treasury department the
dollar which he secured last week
from Mr.. j. H. Hardin, of the Palace
pharmacy. It will be remembered
that The Messenger stated that Mr..
Hardin sent a deposit to the National
Bank of Wilmington last Wednesday
and that one silver dollar was re-
turned to him as spurious. The assay
division of the treasury department
assayed the counterfeit dollar, and sent
Mr.. Perry the analysis. It contained
900 parts of pure silver, the same
quantity as the genuine dollar. The
other hundredth part was alloy, and
altogether the spurious dollar in in
trinsic value stood up with the STAN
dard silver dollar.

ing served in the Philippines, n of the
cannon captured there would he pre-
ferred.
In case President Mckinley should
make his contemplated trip to the Vel
lowstone Park in August, it has beer
suggested that it would do no harm tc
ask him to stop off at Bismarck on his
way out, for the purpose of laying the
cornerstone of the new military post, as
it is likely that the foundations will be
ready by that time. AS President Nc
Kinlcy belongs to the Knights Templars
it might not be out of the way for the
members of that order to take the
matter up.
Mrs. Linda w. Slaughter writes as fol.
lows: "Among the inaccuracies in ar
article in yesterdays Tribune credited
to the Chicago Record, respecting 'silent
Charlie Reynolds" is the statement
chat during all the years he spent at
Fort Lincoln he visited Bismarck,
which was in sight, ETC." On the con.
trary, MIR. Reynolds had many warm
friends in Bismarck, whom he frequently
visited, among them James y. Emmons,
DIR. Slaughter and VIM. Meserve. Hav.
ing been postmaster Of Bismarck during
the period described, l know that Mr.
Reynolds personally received mail at the
Bismarck postoffice."
