CHECK FORGER THwARTED.
mason City Globe Gazette, 24l +
An attempt was made this morning
at the First National Bank to pass a
forged check OF $3.50 with the signature
of s. G. Hill, Of Portland. but thru
the inerrant watchfulness of Cashier
McNider the attempt failed. About
1880 a man looking like prosperous
farmer presented a check for $3.50 from
Mr.. Hills check book and with a very
good imitation OF Mr.. Hills signature.
1t was presented to Mr.. Keller who re-
ferred the matter to Cashier McNider
as the man who was presenting 1t
claimed his name was Monta Gray and
he was a stranger to Mr..
Keller. The cashier who knows nearly
Everybody in the county was at once
suspicious of that amount being paid
to a complete stranger and told Mr..
Keller to phone Mr.. Hill to ascertain
| IL he had issued such check. While
he was telephoning Mr.. Monta Carlo
Gray disappeared from view and un-
1 like the cat, he never came back, to
claim his money. The telephone mes
sage from Mr.. Hill revealed the fact
that the check and another in blank
had been stolen from his checkbook
and Of course it was forgery. The
matter was placed at once in the hands
of the officials who made thorough
search for the foxey Monta, which
proved fruitless. Gray claimed that he
tlived on the StoltenberE farm and had
sold bunch Of cattle to Mr.. Hill who
lis an extensive grain and stock dealer.
He was medium sized man who look
ed much like we'll to do farmer He
signed his name first Gay in endorsing
the check and then the second time
Gray. He was pretty smooth, but the
cashier was smoother.

The Marshalltown Times Republican

A, SHOT AT SCHOOL DIRECTORS.
lGrinnell Herald.l
Jast think Of 1t! Two members OF
the kellogg school board have resigned
because three members who are ma
tortty, insisted on paying SIS month z,
to the principal while "a number Of APP
plicahts could have been secured at a
+ salary Of S45 to S65 per month"; The
school board will be enough sight better
OF without those two such penurious
iEnoramuees on tbs. board. The kellogg
4 schools are no better than most ordi-
mary country schools and all due to the
fact that its school boards had too many
members who think teacher and a
section hand ought to receive equal pay.
Now two of these fellows. because they
can't sway the majority have played a
game Of New York politics and have re-
signed. Accept the resignation quick,
the quicker the better for common de-
cency and for the good Of the Kellogg
schools!

George r. Champion at Alfred, Me-,
last week was found guilty of mur-

Horne, one of the four members of

A clash occurred at Denver, Colo,
last Tuesday between members of the
police force and a posse of deputy
sheriffs and as result two men were

The trouble was the outgrowth of

national and state tickets but the
election of a United States senator to
succeed Senator Wolcott.

Tuesdays election was a greater
landslide for Mckinley and Roosevelt
than the most sanguine had expected.
1t can not be told at this time Just
how the electoral lvote will stand but
the indications are that Mckinley will
have over 290 OF the AT votes. 1t is
a sweeping victory for the president
and shows the popular approval of
his administration. The result shows
that Mr.. Bryan khas lost strength in
the west and at this writing itappears
that his own state has repudiated him.
Kentucky is claimed byEboth parties.
New York state gave Mckinley ma
jority of between one hundred aud
one hundred and fifty thousand,
although Greater New York went for
Bryan by about twenty seven thou
sand majority. President Mckinley
has a greater lead over his opponent
in the electoral college than he had
four years ago and his plurality vote
apparently exceeds that of 1896.
While his vote in New England has
been smaller than four years ago, in
other sections it las been much larger
The national congress will be strongly
republican.

The license measure designed to
take the place of the present proh1bi-
tion liquor law is now before both
branches of the legislature and is sup
posed to be the best results of long
and careful deIiberation on the part of
the advocates of license. It can
hardly be claimed as a high license
measure, when under it's provisions it
would be possible in large majority
of towns, those of 25OO inhabitants, to
obtain a license to retail liquors at a
fee as low as 500 per year. The con-
troll of the question by each town,
which is supposed to be leading
principle Of local option, is also some;
what ignored by the provision for a
county board of excise. Another re-
markable feature is the provision for
licensing druggists at So each and
allowing them to sell liquors for
medicinal, mechanical and chemical
purposes, which are practically the
same privileges now enjoyed by liquor
agencies. Northfeld Ne'Os. I.

about 800 worth of jewelry, clothing
and other small articles were taken,

The most important mineral product
of Vermont at the present time is
marble, for which there is largely
increasing demand. According to the
report Of the United States geological
survey, our state in 1898 produced
marble valued at the enormous sum
of 50, 067, ,938, which is nearly two
thirds of all produced in the United
States during that year. Georgia and
Tennessee exceeded Vermont in the
quantity Of marble sold in the rough,
but our state sold more cut stone used
in building than any other state, and
of marble used in monuments Yer
mont furnished nearly ten times as
much as any other state, and over six
times as much as all other states COM
bined.

mont Historical Society held We'd

were elected: President, G.. Grenville

Although the friends of high license
profess to believe that the outlook
for the high license referendum bill is
very bright, we believe that when the
measure comes to vote they will find
that they have been over sanguine.
While we are confident that if the bill
were to be voted on by the people of
the state they would strongly favor
the present law, yet the money and
influence which would be brought to
bear by those Interested in the liquor
traffic is something which may well
be feared by all Interested in main
tanning the prohibitory law.

Orleans county as shown by the re-

that our readers can make compari-
sons. Although the larger villages
have gained in population the county
has had loss of seventy seven. Five
other counties, Addison, Essex, La
moille, Orange and Rutland have also
decreased in population during the
past ten years. This census shows
the average number of persons to the
square mile in the state to be 37.6.

During the past few years whenever
a man has been sentenced to death in
this state the legislature has been
asked to set the sentence aside. We
believe that capital punishment
should be abolished, and if it is never
to be enforced there is certainly no
reason why the law should not be
done away with.

If the members of the legislature
had put in little more time the week
before election it would not be neces-
sary for them to ask permission to
introduce new bills at this time. More
work and less adjourning from Friday
to Wednesday will satisfy the people
better.
