Treasurer's Dilemma.

The LaMoure Chronicle says: Ac-
cording to report, the county treasurer
elect in the neighboring county of Ran
som is in something of dilemma. A
law was passed during the last legislative
session doing away with personal bonds
in the case of county treasurers, and re
quiring that a bond be executed by
"some responsible security or fidelity
company" In the case of Ransom
county's would-be-treasurer, each and all
of the surety companies to whom he
applied refused, for some reason or other,
to execute bond in his behalf, and he
is thus deprived from entering upon the
duties of the Office to which he was
elected last fall. The difficulty is further
complicated by the fact that his prede-
cessor has held the office for two con-
secutive terms, and is therefore dis
qualified to longer act in the capacity of
county treasurer. The statement has
been made that other treasurers-elect in
this state are in the same predicament
LaMoure connty's treasurer had no diff
Guilty in securing the required bord.

A CREDIT CHECK sWlNDLE.

Trick by Which One Firm Got Dol
lars Without Selling Shirt Waists.
That there is no end to the ways of
imposing upon the suffering New York
public was Illustrated by the failure
Of small store recently. The newly
appointed receiver was surprised by
having many women come to his office
with credit checks. These checks were
eor sInall amounts, ranging from 81 to
$40. At first the receiver couldn't un-
derstand it, but upon investigation he
learned the details Of pretty system
of fleeing. 80 b."
The firm, 1t seems, had made a spe-
cialty Of silk and cotton shirt waists.
These were, with few exceptions,
shapeless, i'll fitting garments, and
when the unfortunate women shoppers
got home with their purchases and
put them on they were disgusted to
find that the bargain sale waists were
baggy and puckery and altogether so
poorly fashioned that it would be
next to impossible to make them fit
even by a complete ripping up and
remaking.,. Such being the conditions
they invariably took the goods back
and demanded other. waists or their
money. It was contrary to the prin-
ciples Of the firm to refund money,
and as they seldom had waists more
becoming either in style or shape than
the ones returned, they were driven
to the extremity of credit checks.
/: 1--WE will get in a new, supply of
waists in few days." was the suave
assurance Of the manager and his
well trained assistants. .''Your check
will be good at any time, and when we
replenish our stock you can select a
waist that suits you.' n.'*% !. -
But the new stock never arrived, and
in spite of the good dollars received
from, deluded customers without de-
creasinga their capital Of waists, the
firm became insolYent and then the
women began to come with credit
checks. So far the receiver has been
unable to compensate them for their
loss through the sWindle which, In its
way, was rather nea atNew York Sun.
