been and attempt to hold up and rob
the west-bound mail and express train
on the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pa
cific. Gibbs and two companions
boarded the train at Eldorado, a small

claimed, attempted to batter down the

UNCLE SANS GREATEST SECRET.
Paper on which Our Money Notes
Are Printed Is JeaIousIy Guarded.

From the Ladies Home Journal.
If there is any secret which Uncle
Sam jealousy guards it is the process
of manufacturing the fiber paper upon
which his money notes are printed.
He pays a Massachusetts firm As cents
a pound for it, and this firm does its
work under the surveillance of gov
eminent agent. The paper is manu-
featured of the finest rags, cleaned,
boiled and mashed into a pulp. AS IL
is rolled into thin sheets silk threads
are introduced into it by a secret pro-
cess. These are the distinguishing
marks making imitation OF the paper
well-nigh impossible. The sheets of
paper, already counted twice and
placed in uniform packages at the pa
per mill, are stored in treasury vault
and issued TO 4he Bureau OF Engrav-
ing and Printing as wanted. Before
leaving the treasury they are counted
three times more, and the receiving
official at the bureau must receipt for
them. Then the bundles are unwrapped
and the sheets are counted twenty
eight times by corps of women. This
rs to insure that each printer gets the
recorded number--no more, no less. If
one sheet of this precious paper be
lost, the entire force of men and wo-
men having access to the room where
the displacement has occurred are
kept in, like so many school children.
TO find IL. Each sheet is issued from
the vault for the printing of definite
amount OF money upon It. II the lost
sheet were intended to ultimately rep
resent $4,000 worth OF notes the group
of employees to whom the responsibility
OF its displacement has been traced
must make good that amount IL they
cannot locate ii within reasonable
time. The most expensive loss which
has thus occurred was OF a blank
sheet issued for the printing OF $50 upon
its face.

steel situation, which gains rather than
loses activity. Here, however, the car

At meeting of the Home department
of the Laramie Woman's club late Sat
urday afternoon, it was resolved to de-
vote the last meeting in April of the
general club to a discussion Of the
city ordinances. that the members of
the club may be fully informed of the
laws of the city as they apply to the
particular interests of the club. The
date of the meeting will be April 20.
The Home department also called
attention to the fact that for some
time the fire drill in the public schools.
once such a salient feature of that liz
preventative of The Republican pre-
sen was asked to refer to the matter
and to see If something could not be
done to revive the drill. The position
of the Home department was en-
phasized in the recent severe fire at
the orphan asylum at Denver. where
the building was emptied of its $50
children. some of them babes. and not
a child was scorched. although the
building burned to the ground.
The Denver Post. in speaking of
the matter Sunday, said:
Probably none is so deeply concern
ed as II. W. Baerresen. architect of
the building, who knows the institu-
ton as he does his own home. Indeed
| St. Vincent's is a byword in his home
at 1925 York street, as his good-heart-
ed Kentucky wife is one of the vice
presidents of the society and an ASST,
| duous worker.
Mr.. Baerresen designed the build
ings. and had them as comfortable as
his own residence. He spent weeks
| upon weeks in the interest of the orp-
hans. One of his first thoughts in de-
signing the buildings was a fire escape
Realizing that children cannot use lad.
ders, he studied for weeks and then
designed probably the most move. fire
escape in existence. He built boxes,
or frames, at windows in each dormi.
tory and designed a system of trolley
lines, or roller coasters, to the ground,
forming a gentle angle lei the bot
tom so the passengers would slacken
speed and stop easily. Then instead
of trolleys he used hooks. one on either
end OF a canvas bag. or hammock
For days at a time he drilled the child
rem in using the fire escape. One by
one he put them in the bags, threw
the hooks over the lines and let them
go.
The little ones dalighted in the
sport. "Scoot," they went, and in 8
few minutes the tots would come laugh
ing up the stairs to Mr.. Baerresen tc
be "stooted" again.
These escapes are a success. but

fire started in the night" said Mr.
