gineer uUon the amount of acceptable
work done. and that S5 per cent of
such amount should be paid in cash,
and that the remaining fifteen per
cent would be paid Within thirty days
after the final completion and accept

placed upon the city preventing it
from paying the balance due excepting
the sum of $3.90074. claimed by p @
Shrake, which plaintiff admits the city

matter has been adjusted. The plain
tiff further says that after deducting

$1,32250, which the plaintiff claims
with interest.

MACKSBURG BOY
Comes to City to Have a Time and is
Robbed of SIS.

A young man, Earl Stephens by
name, came down to the city from
Macksburg Wednesday evening, intent
on spending an evening among the
sports of the city. He accordingly in
vested in a quart of whiskey, as many
fellows do when they come to the city
He no sooner had the whiskey than he
had clenty of friends. He had with
him a check for S25. which he claim 5
ne had cashed. The drinks finally got
the best of the young man and he
asked permission to lie down on a cot
in Front street saloon.
He had been there but a short time
when one of his friends" came in and
said thrt he would take Stephens
hCme with him and put him to bed.
This was about midnight. Stephens
went with him and according to Steph-
ems story the fellow took him around
on Butler street and robbed him. Just
about that time Officers Coffman and
Mattern, who were in fruit store near
by, heard a fellow run by and rushing
to the door the officers met Stephens,
who told them that the fellow who ran
by had robbed him. The officers went
from place to place with Stephens. who
finally pointed out a couple of well
known young men of this city as the
fellows who robbed him. He called
one of the fellows Smith, and as Smith
was not the name of the fellow pointed
out, the officers lost confidence in him
However, there is evidence against the
fellows that sustains the suspicion. AS
Stephens left for home Thursday there
was no prosecuting witness and no ac-
tion has been taken. The names of
the accused sarties are withheld for
the present.
Marietta is very wicked city, and
when innocent little country boys
come here to buy booze" they should
eave their twenty-five dollar checks at
home.

1t is somewhat surprising to read in
the report of the Treasurer of the I'm
tied States that the coin of the realm
that is most extensively counterfeited
nowadays is not the silver and nickel
pieces, but the copper one-cent pieces
During the year there were detected
and dstroyed at the office of the treas
ury s11. in counterfeit silver coins,
notes and certificates. 3277 five-cent
pieces and 121, ,652 one-cent pieces, and
the number of spurious minor coins
in circulation is rapidly on the in
crease. Counterfeit cold coins are
rare, only thirteen having been pre-
sented at the treasury during the year.
1t looks as if the counterfeters were
putting themselves to a good deal of
trouble at a very small profit.
