500. The photographs have been iden-
tined by the victims of the forger who
worked his clever game in the guise of a
laborer so successfully here. He passed
five checks here made payable to John
Grippe and signed by the o. G. Steen-
berg company, per f. G. Steenberg, treas
urer.
The photograph of Dobson, alias
Grupe. was positively identified by A.
Huesman, who cashed check i'll the
sum of S26 for Grippe. Dobson has been
bound over for trial at Hampton. He
was arrested by Sheriff L. e. Sherwood
OF Chickasaw county, Ia, in northern
Wisconsin, and accompanied the sheriff
to Hampton without requisition papers,
probably preferring to face the charge
there than get in the tolls in Wiscon-
sin, where his operations have been car
ried on on such an extensive scale, and
once commenced in the Badger state
prosecution against him would have no
early end.
Sheriff Sherwood sent notice that the
prisoner was liable to furnish bonds and
urged prompt action on the part of Fond
du Lac officials if they would capture
their man. Chief Schaefer wired instruc-
tons to arrest the man for forgery on
charge preferred by him. Sheriff Keys
of this county will take the necessary
steps to have Dobson brought here to
answer to the charge against him.

A good story is told in the Argonaut
about Richard Croker and Pat Donahue,
a prospective power III one of the New
York Irish wards. Donahue was new
come from the ''euld soil" and Mr..
Croker invited him to dinner at the Wal
orf-Astoria. Feeling that Donahue
might make a break if allowed to order
from the French menu card. Mr. Croker
volunteered to order the dinner, and add
svised Pat to follow suit and say nothing.
A waiter tumbed over himself to be the
first to wait upon Mr.. Croker, and the
political magnate said: We'll, Pat, |
think We'll start off with a cocktail Pat
hemmed and hawed: bit his lip in yexa-
ton that he should be forced to object
to his hosts first order. but finally, screw
ing his courage to tle point OF speech,
blurted out: IF We have no OBJECTION,
Mr.. Croker, and as I'm not fond of that
part Of the chicken as goes over the fince
last I'll take part of the brist.''

Efforts are now pending looking to the
of this indebtedness

Efforts are now pending looking to the
collection of this Indebtedness.
"Out OF an Indebtedness Of about S130, 000,-
900, more than one-half of which consisted
of accrued interest, the Government has
realized in cash, or its equivalent the sum Of
$124, 421, 670.95, within period of less than
two years. No other administration in the
history of the United States has ever so
quickly, so thoroughly, and so satisfactorily
enforced the settlement of large claims held
by the Government against business corpora
lions, nor has any similar settlement ever
previously been made by the Government to
such good financial advantage. The claims
were due. The President insisted upon their
collection, and this was done in Il prompt
and business-like manner"

Evening Dress Jewelry,

Apart from the stud, there are only
two or three other articles of jewelry that
are worn by men for evening dress. Per
haps the neatest watch chains worn are
either those of gold with small pearls
at intervals, or those of small inks of
gold and platinum. There is more scope
in sleeve links for something ''dressy."
Some of the prettiest are made of moth
er-of-pearl with a turquoise center, and
there is smart pair of links made Of
mother-of-pearl to represent shirt but

WAY TO FORCE TURKEY.
Missionary Suggests Seizure of an
Island In the DardaneIlcs.

The Rev. Edward b. Haskell a mis-
sionary stationed at Salonika, in Eu-
ropean Turkey, by the American mis-
sionary board of the Congregational
church, said to New York Tribune
reporter the other night:
'"There is no danger of n war with
Turkey over the indemnity which she
owes the United States. What is need
ed is frmness. When Turkey sees
that this country is in earnest, she will
pay up. Nevertheless that empire is
frightfully plunged into debt because
of the corruption of its government Of
ficials. The sultan little knows of the
millions of dollars that go to waste
through the fingers of his servants.
His revenue from custom house du-
ties etc, is great-nore than enough
to pay the cost of the government If
these leakages were stopped by a
strong willed monarch, the empire
could soon be placed on solvent basis.
"The conversion of the Mohammedan
is attended with the greatest difficulty.
The reason is that conversion TO a
Mussulman of rank means certain
death Our work is therefore confined
to the so called Christian classes who
have already been converted to a GER
tain type of Christianity by the Ortho-
dox Greek church. This church, how
ever, has been awakened into consider
able activity itself by the entrance of
Protestant denominations into the
field"
When asked if the seizure of Smyrna
by the American forces, as suggested
by certain men of military distinction,
would be the most advantageous meth
cd of procedure, the missionary said
ject because he was afraid of the sui
tans causing his arrest upon his return
to SalOnika. Another missionary at his
side, however, made this answer:
"If my name is not mentioned, |
should like to say that the seizure of
one of the islands in the Dardanelles is
by far the best move to be taken by
the United States in case of war. This
could be accomplished by a fleet with
out the landing of a single man. 1t
would throttle the trade of the great
capital of Constantinople and compel
the porte to summon to the defense his
whole navy of the EuXine. This he
would be afraid to do with the power
OF Russia menacing his EuXne prov

New Typewriter For Shorthand.

Although typewriters for shorthand
have been patented, the drawback has
been that they wrote upon narrow pa
per, like a printing telegraph. A stem

a roll of paper equal In width to an
ordinary shorthand notebook. says the
Chicago Tribune. The operator has
six keys to tap upon as against 80 or
more on an ordinary typewriter. To
read stereotype the eye must become
acquainted to a new style of type bas-
ed somewhat upon the Morse alphabet
