Are Actively at Work in the State of
Marvland

The state OF Maryland has been flooded
with circular letters recently by supposed
'green goods men Offering packages Of
one-dollar counterfeit notes. and the BaIti-
more police and secret service detectives
are engaged in making an investigation.
In the circular statements are made to in
duce people to deal with the alleged coun-
terfeiters. but. so far as is known, the men
have not found any victims. The circulars
are similar to the usual green goods ad-
vertisements. Men engaged in such work
are not counterfeiters, and what money
they exhibit to their victims Is the genuine
article. A counterfeit one-dollar coin was
passed on Baltimore shoe merchant Mon
day night, but the authorities make no
claim that this counterfeit has any connec-
ton with the offers made in the circulars

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.

WET WEATHER HINDERS WORK.
Davenport DeH1ocrat.l
Contractors in all kinds of outdoor
construction declare that 1902 has been
the most disastrous season in their ex
perience. 1t has been flied with storms
and floods, and not only has work been
hlndered by soft ground and bad
weather. but much work, partly or
wholly finished, has been carried away,
or badly damaged. The contractors on
the Hennepn canal are complaining of
this sort of thing. The aqueduct work,
all in concrete and quite extensive, has
made almCst no progress at all this
whole summer on this account. Water
has been too high 10 allow anything to
be done in this line. In some other re-
spects the canal has done fairly we'll
on it's western section this summer, and
work on the construction of the guard
lcck and dam at Rock Falls, by which
the feeder line will be filled and the
level of Rock river there be raised some
ten feet, has begun, and is being
pushed. This is all rock construction,
and the weather has little effect on it.
1t is out in the black mucky prairies OF
Illinois that the contractor has been
having trouble.

the glue, familiarized himself with its
cdor. Then he went to the New York
office, the point of starting of the regis
tered package, and shifted at the glue
pot. He was unsuccessful.
Then he took to the road and stopped
at all the offices where the valuable
package had been handled by different
clerks, all the time paying no attention
to the usual methods of detecting post
office criminals, but simply shifting at
the glue pots.
He was finally rewarded when in an
office near the place of destination of
the package by an identity of smell be-
tween the registered package and a
glue pot on the counter. Satisfied that
he had at last reached the end of his
search he caused a watch to be set upon
the clerks in the office in the usual way,
and finally caught his man spending a
portion of his illgotten gains.
The officials of the postoffice depart
ment are divided between a desire to
congratulate the inspector for his re-
narkable exhibition Of sagacity and an
inclination to reprimand him for get
ing funny with the department.
