FORGED A CHECK.
]. A. Lewis & Son Out a Bicycle
on One.
Innocent Appearing Farmers Boy Runs a
Game of Confidence on
Them.

]. A. Lewis & Son would like to see
Make Haufmaster behind the bars OF
else get back a new Cleveland bicycle
which the Junior member OF the hrm
sold to him Tuesday evening Make has
turned out to be bad boy, but he dis
played his taste by selecting good
wheel.
Make entered the store last evening
and wanted to buy a bicycle. he ap-
peared to be an innocent country lad
about 81 years of age, with the costume
and manner of young farmer. u. A
Lewis waited upon him and was pleased
to show him the best in stock, and with
gentle pursuasiveness led the young
man to buy new Cleveland wheel,
listed at $50 The young man did not
have the money handy, but did have a
check payable to himself, and he offered
this in payment for the wheel. The
check was for SS4, rs and was drawn on
the Morristown, MINI State bank, and
purported to be signed by Mr., L, b.
Coal" 1t was dated July 10th and was
properly endorsed ON the back, except
that Haufmaster spelled his name on
the back "Hafmaster the endorse
ment and writing on the face OF the
check were all done by the same person.
Mr.. Lewis did not have money
enough in the drawer to change the
check so he kept it with the under
standing that Haufmaster should call
this morning when the bank opened,
taking the wheel in the meantime In
counting cash for the night, j A. Lewis
threw the check out as bogus. Later
in the evening. G A. Lewis saw Hauf-
meister and suggested that the wheel
might be stolen if left at hotel
and offered to keep it for him over
night. Haufmaster accepted this
offer, and came around early this morn
ing and got the wheel, before any OF
the firm had arrived. He came around
several times before the bank opened
and finally, about ten o'clock. q. A
Lewis walked to the Mankato State
bank with him.
Mr.. Lewis had previously had the
bank call up Morristown to ascertain
whether the check was good The first
reply was not to the point, and the
Morristown bank had to be called VI
again, In walking down the street
Mr.. Lewis incidentally mentioned tt
Haufmaster that he was trying to as
certain the genuineness of the check
Before Mr.. Lewis was aware OF 1t, the
young man was on his wheel and OF
and was quickly out of sight.
Mr.. Lewis FASTENED into the bank
and learned that the check was fors.
cry, and then consulted County Attor'
ney Hughes and had complaint pre-.
pared, charging Haufmaster with
grand larceny in the second degree.
The officers were notified and every eff
fort is being made to head off the
young fellow.
Haufmaster claimed to have worked
for Mr. Coal and said that he had been
paid with the check

Be Careful

No woman can be too careful OF
her condition during the period be-
fore her little ones are born. Neglect
or improper treatment then endan-
gers her life and that of the child. It
lies with her whether she shall suffer
unnecessarily, or whether the ordeal
shall be made comparatively easy.
She had better do nothing than do
something wrong.

 work, contribute to her comfort and prolong her life, and yet he ought to be punished in some way, because little cash and a short walk would secure her a Standard Wickless Blue Flame Oil Stove, the only successful, absolutely safe kerosene cook-stove on the market. Te could see them in eight different styles and sizes and would be told all about their many fine qualities in a patient and cour- teous manner.

The complaint alleges that the recent re-
organization of the Monon Railway Com

NATIVES TO BE SUBSTITUTED.
The Postal Service in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippines.

Acting Postmaster General Heath stated
to representative of The Evening Star to-
day that no more appointments would be
made of Americans to the postal services
in the Philippines. Porto Rico or Cuba
I'VE are now making every effort to re-
duce the expenses of the mail service in
those countries" said Mr.. Heath, "and
with that in view the Postmaster General
has cabled the recall Of all Americans sent
to Porto Rico on detail from the various
branches of the postal service in this coun-
try, and 1t is likely that a number of
Americans who were sent there some time
since will be withdrawn. This is to be
done not only in the interest of economy
but to carry out the original design of the
department. When we assumed control of
the postal services in the three countries
named every thing was in chaos. The postal
service was discredited upon every hand
and 1T became necessary to install new
men, Americans of the highest type of
character, in order to reorganze the Sery-
ice and place it upon creditable basis-a
basis which would at once have the conf
dence of the patrons Now that the postal
service in each of these countries has
been thoroughly reorganized and placed
upon an American basis, we feel that we
can safely withdraw most of the Ameri-
cans detailed or appointed from civil life
and gradually transfer the work to natives
Under the circumstances it is useless for
any one to apply for positions in the Phil
ippines, Cuba or Porto Rico. and all appli-
cants are being SO notified
