McRAE HOPEFUL.

Tegarkana, Nov. F. Congressman Thomas c. McRae is in the city at tending to some important cases i'll which he is employed as attorney in the United States court. To quest ion of what he thought of the result of the late congressional election, he replied
 ssIt can not be said that it was sat isfactory. Our party managers claim ed we would carry the house, and was hopeful we would. I am not of those who thought it best that the Democrats lose this year, and thus place all the responsibility on the Re publicans, so as to assure their em- barrassment in the presidential elec- ton of 1904. Had we won we should have been able to turn the lights on a large amount of wrongdoing and cor ruption that is now going on, and which will now remain covered by reason of the house remaining Re- publican It is always discouraging for the outs to lose congressional contest in an off year. Still, we made gains, and the outlook for the future is far from hopeless"
 MT. McRae is looking in splendid health.
 l Col. J. J. Kress, general manager of the Arkansas Southwestern Railway, is also visitor in the city, accompan jed by Mrs. Kress. The colonel was formerly an official of the Cotton Belt and also of the Texas, Shreveport and Natchez, with headquarters at this place.

THAT POLAR CREAMERY.
a Large Number of Farmers Invested
In the Alleged Fake.


Newton, Feb. S-About eighty farm
ers surrounding this and other Jasper
county towns have recently been swim
Gied by one of the cleverest games
worked upon them for some. A party of
men, representing themselves as
agents of a large Indiana concern, cam
vassed the county with a handsome
wagon and team of horses, selling
what they called the Polar creamery,
for which great things were claimed
and which sold at $6S. The sellers
were not particular about the money or
the time given farmers to pay for the
purchase. They wanted and received
rotes and large number of them. The
creamery turns out to be almost worth
less. and the warranty given is as bad
as the article for which it was given,
and the notes readily find innocent
third purchasers. The parties are gone
and there is nothing left but to pay the
notes. In some instances the sellers
represented that their ware was so VAL
liable that all that was needed was
fair trial, and left the creameries for
the farmers to use, asking that they
sign a receipt The receipt is a prom
issory note, which the farmers do not
know they have signed The game is
being worked, 1T is understood, in other
counties of the state

PRESENTED FORGED CHECKS.
Two Fort Dodge Men In the Tolls for
Serious Crime.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Feb. SC. B. Ireland
was arrested yesterday by Marshal
Larson charged with being implicated
with scheme for passing forged
checks, which was operated in the city
on Thursday afternoon. Two attempts
were made to pass checks. one at the
Larson Dry Goods Company. and the
other at the Hare Clothing Company,
the attempt at the latter place being
successful The checks in both instan-
ices were for S25. Ireland did not pre-
the man who did this having not yet
been aprpehended. but he is believed by
the police to have been implicated in
the deal
The blank checks We're stolen from
the Robinson grocery, 1t is believed at
about o'clock in the afternoon, and
suspicion points to Ireland. who was
in the store at the time. Mr.. Robinsons
name was signed to the Checks and it
is believed that about four of them
were out. OF these, two are accounted
for one being kept by the Larson Dry
Goods Company and the other by the
HARE Clothing Company. 1t can not
be learned that the checks We're pre-
sented anywhere else. Ireland was in
both cases with the man who presented
the check, and the check presented at
the Hare Clothing Company would not
have been cashed If it had not borne
his endorsement.
The check was presented at the Lar
son Dry Goods Company's store in pay
ment for pair of overshoes. 1t was
not credited. however, but the man who
presented it got away before any move
could be made to stop him. The police
were put on his trail. and followed him
for three miles into the country. but he
eluded them at last, and at last reports
was still at large.
Ireland protested when arrested that
he did not know anything about the
matter. The police, however, state that
they have strong evidence against MIN.
They had hoped to find some of the
blank checks on him, but nothing of the
kind was discovered when he was
searched.
