secret service Agent Making Inves-
tIgaftons Here.

A United states secret service agent f.
In the city for the purpose Of tracing the
course Of a so counterfeit bill. and Incl
dentaliy looking into the conduct Of the
people who aided in the circulation OF the
bill. The story ls an interesting one
The bill first made It's appearance at
the Southern Bank about two months ago
lie character was az once detected by the
teller. who returned Il az once TO tho de-
positor. a well known and responsible bus
mess man. Incidentally the teller marked
the bin. and made note Of It's class and

clumsy piece OF work. being simply a 81
silver certificate which had been raised to
so by erasurc. and writing in the higher
figures. Many hours must have been eX-
pended In the work and some surprise
Was expressed by those who saw the bin
that anyone should have gone 70 so much
trouble to say nothing of the risk, for
the sake of few dollars.
The deposition was notified OF the char
actcr Of the bin aud the counterfeit re-
turned TO him. How IL got into circulation
again is not known. Probably he return

H. A month later the bill showed up al
the Citizens Bank. where II was recog-
nizcd by Teller clark as a counterfeit.
The bill was returned 10 the deposition
this time a lawyer. with information as
70 is character. Henceforth its course
is clear. Tho lawyer paid Il 60 mcr-
chant in the country and the latter Inn
mediately deposited IL with the Citizens
Bank. by which IL had been refused only
q short time before.
As the bill seemed destined TO remain
IN circulation the bank authorities de-
termined TO take action. The bill was ie-
tanned aud the attention OF the treasury
department was called 10 the matter The
result is the advent OF the secret service
agent The latter has interviewed the
bank people and some others who have
handled the bill. What he Is interested
la knowing Is not where and 10y whom tho
counterfeit was originated. but how Il
came TO be continued IA circulation by
people who knew its character. The IN

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed condi'
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustac-
hian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is ntirely closed,
Deafness is the result. and unless the in
flamation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Gentlemen: Some personal experience
enables me to heartily recommend the
use of Henry & Johnson's Arnica and Oil
Liniment. For external application in
cases of sprains and bruises it is unques-
tionably excellent. 1t takes hold and
gives relief. This is not a guess, but a
word of testimony.
