UNCLE SANS FREAK MONEY

Bills That Are Twenty Dollars ON
One Side and Ten on the Reverse.
Scattered throughout the country are
a few pieces of paper money that are
known as "freak bills" by the officials
of the treasury department. One of
them turned up in this city not long
ago-it had the imprint Of a twenty
dollar note on one side and a ten on
the other. AS the face showed the
twenty, that was it's legal value.
The deputy assistant treasurer of
the United States, who is stationed in
the New York s~ubtreasury, was speak
Ing of these freaks the other day and
said he had only seen one of them in
his life, although he had heard of sew
eral. Very rarely they have slipped
through the bureau of engraving and
printing despite a careful scrutiny by
three or four sets of inspectors. In
most cases they have been national
banknotes, which, like regular treasury
notes, are printed at the bureau in
Washington. The face value always
is recognized when the freaks come to
be cashed in at any branch of the
treasury, and the imprint ON the back
has no lawful status whatever.
""The notes are printed in sheets at
thesbureau," said the official, Usual.
~ there will, be one twenty and two
tens on a sheet. They are printed one
side at a time, so it can be seen that
the printer in turning over the sheet
might get it upside down and thus put
a ten dollar back on the twenty dollar
note, OF twenty on the back of n Of
| the tens"
In the bureau are women who are
supposed to examine all the bills care
fully, but occasionally they neglect
to look at both sides as scrutinizingly
as they should, and so the money goes
out into circulation. When errors are
discovered, the misprinted sheet is laid
aside to be destroyed. 1t cannot be
torn up at once, for every sheet has to
be accounted for. After a good deal
of red tape, it is ground up into pulp.
Most of the freak bills which have
been issued in the past have found
their way back to the treasury, there
to be destroyed. It is thought that less
than a dozen are now scattered about,
most of them in the hands of curio
hunters. The official said that no eff
fort to collect them had been made by
the government and that the treasury
department did not consider the circu'
lation of the few notes a matter OF
any consequence, inasmuch as there
was no doubt about the values as in
dicated on the face:-New York Times

Palmyra. The period of it's prosperity
extended only from III to 273 A. D.

Persopolis was the capital Of the Per
sian empire for thirty years only. bu'
this vas merely an accident of wal

lived seat of empire. for it only en-
dured about 500 years. In modern times
the answer would be Amarapura, til,

1888, it had in 1900 a population O.

BRIckER BOYS RELEASED.
Webster County Authorities DroF
Prosecution of Alleged Murderers.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge. Jan. 15-After seven
months of close imprisonment with the
fearful charge of murder staring them
in the face, George and Oliver Bricker
are now free men. Yesteday the case
against them was withdrawn and a
short time after the train brought them
in from Rockwell City. where they had
been confined in Jail, they appeared be-
fore the court and were formally set at
liberty and allowed to go their way.
The reason for the dismissal Of the
case against the Bricker boys on the
part of the state was due to the feeling
sustained by County Attorney Hacker,
after the result of the trial OF George
Bricker for the killing of Clarence Guild
at the last term of court, that any fur
Their effort at conviction upon the part
of the county would not convict them
In his opinion he was supported by his
associate counsel, Hon. John F. Dun
combe, and by other members of the bar
in this city, and for the further reason
that in their opinion it would be a waste
of money upon the part of the county
For this reason the suit was withdrawn
and they We're accordingly set at liber-
ty,

Mother Is But Twenty one and Has
Borne Six Children.
A st. Louis dispatch says: Mrs.
susanna Pennocx, aged 81, patient at
the city hospital, has given birth to
three sets of twins in her brief life.
Mrs. Pennock is an exemplification OF
the effect Of heredity, for her mother
bore twenty-four children, of whom
twelve came in couplets. Mrs. Pen
mock says that one of her sisters, now
living in Georgia, has borne five pairs
of twins and another four. There are
thirteen more children. who produced
three sets each, making thirty-nine, or
total of fifty-seven in this one fam

Mrs. Susanna Pennock was born in
Sweden, whence her mother came to
this country. The sad feature of this
remarkable family is the fact that all
but the first set of twins of the grand
mother have been afflicted with cpl
lepsy. Mrs. Pennock's husband bore
the same name as that of her mothers

Oskaloosa, Jan. 15.--Judge A. r.
Dewey in the Mahaska county district
court began the hearing of the cast of
the state of Iowa against Dick" Will
Jams a colored fellow about So or 40
years of age charged with the wilful
murder of one. William Sharper, Ger
man at Buxton, on December last
The securing of jury required al
most the entire day Tuesday and it was
4 o'clock before the Introduction of evil
dence was commenced, following the
statements of the attorneys. James A.
Davitt for the state is assisted by b.
w. Preston. The defense is by George
Woodson, of Muchakinoch, and Joe
Brown, of Abba. a couple of young col
ored lawyers of considerable ability.
These are assisted by Judge Ben Nc
Coy.
The story of the crime is to the effect
that the Afternoon Of December S a
crowd of miners and workmen of Bux-
ton mining camp of the Consolidation
Coal Company southwest of Oskaloosa,
in Munroe county had gathered in a
drinking place known locally as "Reub-
en- Gains shack" The place was q dive
situated across the county line and on
Mahaska county territory Dick Will
Jams came to the place and entered up
on a discussion with one of the inmates
and the discussion grew into fuss.
Williams became enraged because of
the men drew q knife and he pulled
gun, a 44-callber colt revolver and be-
gan trying to get at the fellow who had
made bluff at him supposedly with
knife. Sharper attempted to quiet the
fuss but he got in the way of the col
ored fellows gun. There was loud re-
port and Sharper fell dead with bullet
hole in his skull Williams made
hasty escape and no one offered to stop
him. He was caught the next day at
Ottumwa. The December grand jury
of Mahaska county indicted the fellow
for murder in the first degree to which
charge the plea of not guilty was en-
tered.
Considerable feeling mas been shown
in the county since the murder and es-
pecialy since the shooting of officer
Ruggenberg at Evans Jan. 4. Hence
the court has ordered every precaution
taken to keep the jury from an influ-
ence that might tend to bias them
They are to be allowed no papers and
must be kept apart from all outside
communication.
Considerable interest Is being mani
tested in the trial and the outcome will
be awaited rather earnestly by the peo-
pie of more than this community

ment has been made. A member of the
committee gave out as some of the
grievances a matter that concerns ev-
cry engineman on the entire system.
Since 1892, ten years ago. there has been
no increase in the pay of enginemen
altho their responsibility has been near
ly doubled. Today they are running
nearly twice as fast, hauling trains al
most twice as long as at that time. The
stock of the company ten years ago was
about 20 cents on the dollar; today 1t is
quoted at $1.44. 1t takes now about half
as many men to handle train as 1t did
ten years go The schedule which has
been presented the men is not as ia
vorable to them as the one now in
force and this is the reason for their
coming together in session in Chicago.

TWO MYSTERIOUS DEATHS.
Sensation at Maquoketa Over Sudden
Demise of Eva Ryan and George


Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Jan. ia sensation
has been caused at Maquoketa by the
sudden death of Mrs Eva Ryan and her
paramour, George Smith, under suspi-
oious circumstances. The Ryan woman
has been separated from her husband
for some time and 1t appears that Smith
has been in the habit of going to her
hcme frequently. On Friday night OF
last week he was there, and from the
testimony Of the woman given at the
coroner's inquest it appears that about
l o'clock in the morning the woman
spread lunch consisting of bread and
butter, corned beef and coffee. Shortly
after eating of this Smith was taken
violently i'll. The Ryan woman finally
became alarmed and called in an old
lady who lived near by, but Smith con-
tinued to grow worse, and died soon
after in agony.
Mrs. Ryan loudly bewailed the sudden
death of her lover, but not much atten-
ton was paid to her until Sunday after
noon. Then it was discovered that she
was critically ill., with evidence of hav-
ing been poisoned. The stomach pump
was applied, but efforts to have her life
were fruitless. and post mortem eX-
animation has developed that her stom-
ach contained strychnine. 1t is possible
that the body of Smith may be exhumed
for further examination.
The Ryan woman has been frequent
figure in the Justice courts. Many of the
people III Maquoketa think that she
committed suicide rather than face a
murder charge, while others are OF the
opinion that she killed herself thru gen
nine grief at the death of her lover.

unfaiiing specific in all cases OF dyspep-
ola and disordered digestion.
Almost everybody's digestion is dis
ordered more or less, and the common
est thing they do for 1t is TO take some
one of the many so-called blood rurih-
ers, which in many cases are merely
strong cathartics. Such things are not
needed. If the organs are in a clogged
condition, they need only a little help
and they will right themselves. Ca
thartics irritate the sensitive Innings of
the stomach and bowels and often do
more harm than good.
Purging Is not what is needed. The
thing to do is to put the food in con-
dition to be- readily digested and assim-
Hated Sthart's Dyspepsia Tablets do
this perfectly. Then partly digest what
is eaten and give the stomach just the
help 1t needs. They stimulate the Sc
erection /and excretion of the digestive
fluids and relieve the ,congested condi-
ton OF glands and membranes. They
put the whole digestive system in con-
d1tiori to do its work. When that Is
done you need take no more tablets,
unless you eat what does not agree
with you Then take one or two tablets
give them needed help and you will

Archbishop at Dubuque Begins Tenn

Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. Jan. 15-Archbishop Keane
has made the issue for the coming city
election. His Sunday sermon dealt with
the drink and social evils of this city
and was the opening gun in the CAM
raign which the Catholic clergy will
make against vice at the polls this
spring.
The archblshop's stand has been the
subject of discussion in business houses
and other places. 1t was the opinion that
the issue in the election next spring will
he Morality VS.. immortality. One who is
very near to the archbishop says that
the stand now taken by him will be
maintained until the mulct law Is COM
Piled with and immortality banished
from the city as much as 1t is possible
to Danish it. He declared that there
would be no retrograde movement even
If it took ten years to close the saloons
A thorough organization would be Ell
tected and the work continued until the
law was observed. He said further that
the judges of the district court. when
the present term began We're requested
TO call the attention of the grand jury to
the mulct law and to the immortality
that exists in Dubuque. and this has
been done. He declared that it might as
we'll be understood now as at a future
time that the movement inaugurated by
the Catholic priests Of Dubuque against
immortality and violation of law had
come to stay" and that those back OF 1t
were thoroughly In earnest. Even If the
moral issue should be defeated, 1t would
not have the least effect in lettering the
archbishop and priests from carrying 1t
on; and this would be done until law, or
der and morality triumphed.
