A FORGER BAFFLED.
He Was Caught IN the Act by the CASH
Ter and Payment stopped.

There was considerable excitement
in town Monday afternoon over re-
port which became current that the
Citizens Bank had been defrauded out
of $40, 900, says the Waynesburg In-
dependent. This report grew out Of
a person who presented check for
payment, but the forgery discovered,
and the person seeing he was caught,
left the bank on a run. The check
was for 500 aud was payable to Frank
Boon, and signed Ly T. J. Biggiis.
Mr.. higgins is a stakeholder in the
Citizens Bank aud uoes business there.
When the check was presented for
payment the forgery was at once dis
covered, as the initials were not those
of Thomas f. higgins. and the name
was spelled incorrectly, one go being
omitted and an s'en for an ai' used
As soon as the forgery was discovered
the person presenting the check has
lilly lest the bank and struck out OF
town as fast as he could go He was

given of the man answers to that OF a
well-known Wayne township young
man about %. In June he worked
for Mr.. higgins, and in settlement
with him Mr.. higgins gave him a
check dated June %, for 1915. The
same date a check for $45.75, payable
to III. Kuhn, was forged on Mr.. Big
gins, passed through two banks, and
was discovered by Mr.. higgins sou,
Edward, in looking over cancelled
checks. The forgery was rather clev-
erly done, and Mr.. higgins accounts
for this that the party had genuine
check signature to go by. The young
man is evidently in serious trouble,
and the manly way out Of it is for him
to settle the matter before proceed
ings are commenced that mean much
trouble for him. The attaches OF the
bank say they will have no trouble to
identify him.

WILL CREATE A CAR SHORTAGE.
Automatic Compiling Order becomes
Operative Ausnst 1st-Thonsands of
Freight Cars Must go TO The Shops
Equipment Orders Yet Untitled.

There will be decided shortage of
freight cars on many railroads
throughout the country after August
lst. On that date expires the time
allowed the railroad compan les in
which to equip their rolling stock
with automatic couplers, under the
decision OF the United States supreme
court. The master car builders have
been instructed by the Traffic associa-
ti0n TO have all the cars not SO equip
pc sent to the shops Of the various
roads August lst, 70 be fitted out
with the couplers as soon as possible.
The lines that will be most serious
ly handicapped by the order are re-
ported To lie the Baltimore & Ohio.
Pttsburg & Western, and Buffalo,
Rochester & pittsburg The former
has about 5000 cars on which the old
fashioned hand couplers are used; the
Pittsburg & Western has $50, and
the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg
about $50. 1t Is said the Pennsylva-
MIA lines have nearly all their cars
supplied with automatic couplers and
will not be Inconvenience by the Or
der
When the supreme court handed
down its decision requiring all rail-
roads To adopt automatic couplers
the railroads asked for an extension
OF time in which to make the changes.
The request was granted not once,
but several times, but when asked for
again it was refused, and the railroad
people were caught unprepared. 1t is
said, however, that the railroads are
not entirely to blame. They have
had the new couplers ordered for
some time, but the manufacturers
have been SO busy that they could not
get the coupling rods and drop forg-
iDgs out fast enough.
1t will make no difference where the
offending cars chance to be Wednes-
day morning or with what they are
filed. They will have to be cut out
of the trains and sent at once TO the
shops. The railroads are doing all
they can to have the cars sent through
to their respective destinations before
hand, and those that are caught mid
way on their journeys are being re-
lieyed OF freight as fast as possible.
The fast freight men and shippers Of
perlshable stuff will probably be the
greatest sufferers by the enforcement
OF the order.

A POLITICAL CHANGE.
Hon. N. C. C. Church, of West Virgin.
in. Declares for BRYAN.

PARKERSBURG, w, Va, Aug. L.
Hon. NC. G. Church, of this city, who
was one. Of the founders Of the Re
publican party, who established and
edited for many years the State Jour-
nal and then presented it to the Re-
publican party and who has been one
of the most liberal contributors to the
campaign funds of his party and a
life long Republican, has announced
in an open letter that he will sup
port Mr. Bryan and the democratic
ticket this year. In his letter Mr..
Church says, among other things;
'Thefe is no reason Why true Re-
publicans, who know the origin of the
party and its principles, should not
vote for Mr.. Bryan-the chosen leader
Of the people in this crisis of our
country's history. He calls himself a
Democrat Let the writer add an
other word, Republican and it will
stand for all he represents "a Demo-
cratic Republican, the same as Mr..
Lincoln.
s'There is but one issue in this cri-
sis, and that is Imperialism. Whoev-
er is opposed to that intrusion should
vote for Mr. Bryan, the prophet,
statesman and, what is above either,
an honest, truthful man. He has the
wisdom of Washington, the courage
OF Jackson and the unfaltering pa
thence Of Lincoln. He is the man
of the hour, providentially chosen to
save the American Republic from the
perfidy of pelf and the selfish corrup-
tion .engendered by soulless office-hun-
tiers under the reign Of bossism. If
Mr.. Bryan is defeated, then we may
prepare for imperialism in its full
meaning and purpose.
owe want no expansion of the
American Republic outside of the
American continent and its adjacent
islands. The work and mission Of
the United States are and should con-
tinue to be on this continent. We
should not impose our constitution by
force and fraud upon any people, but
we should welcome neighbor states
into the American Union whenever
they are willing to come in and be
received without breach of internal
obligations.

STRANGE DISEASE.
Attacking the Cows in Several
Nearby Counties.

They Become Suddenly Blind as Re-
suit OF The Attack Experiments are
Now Being Made to Find out How TO
Treat it-Hog Cholera Prevalent in
This County.
Dr. Ruhl of Fairmont is Lere look
ing after several cases that have been
called TO his attention of disorders
among the stock of this vicinity.
Among them is the task Of pulling
several teeth from John Lantz's race
horse. Several other minor cases are
to be looked after.
The most serious thing however is
an investigation OF hog cholera which
is reported TO be raging here. A num-
Der Of hogs belonging to Lloyd Smith
are said to be infected with the dis
ease. DR.. Ruhl will examine them
and if he finds that the disease is real
ly present will Isolate them and inoc-
ulate them with cholera serum.
In the past few years it is said that
hundreds of hogs have died with the
disease in this county.

alarming things that has been re-
ported recently is the prevalence OF
peculiar outbreak among the cattle of
Barbour and Taylor counties. As an
effect of the attack cows are going
blind in large numbers. The disease
is thought to have been imported
from Canada with dairy and breeding
cattle that have recently come in.
The disease is very violent one
and short time after the animal is
attacked it becomes blind. In one
herd fully one third Of the cows had
become blind. There are a score of
them suffering from the malady. 1t
has spread very rapidly.
Dr.. Ruhl is treating it and is re-
porting his progress to the depart
ment of Animal Industry at Wash
ingt acting under DIR. Salmon Of
that department He is very much
exercised over the matter and will
take steps to prevent any further out
breaks Of this kind by introducing a
bill into the next legislature prohibit
ing the importation of any dairy or
breeding cattle into the state before
they have been thoroughly examined
