COUNTERFEIT MONEY PLATES
In Possession of Secret Service Agent H.
c. Dickey. Captured by Him
Recently.

Memphis, Tenn, May 19.-Secret
Service Agent H. G. Dickey has in his
possession two plates from which $50
and $40 bills were made. He captured
them recently in his territory. But
few of the $50 bills were ever circu-
lated, but a number of the $40 bills
were put out. He has also some $40
and So plates which will never again
be used by the counterfeiters who used
them to produce fake money.
These plates are zinc and are very
simple ones. 1t is much easier to
make counterfeit money than is sup
posed by the public. The counterfeit
ers use onion paper, which is easy
to obtain, and by the use of acid easi-
ly make the impressions. An impress
sion of each side of the bill is made
and the two put together very neatly.
Most of the counterfeit money which
has been floated in this section this
spring has been silver coin, dollars
and half-dollar pieces.

A CYCLONE IN TEXAS
Between Fifty and One Hundred
Persons Perished.
The Town of Goliad Swept Away-Beevills
Also Visited by the Storm-Great
Loss of Property.

Houston, Tex, May 1S.-Reports re-
ceived here by telegraph and telephone
indicate that the northern or western
portion of the town of Goliad has been
swept away by cyclone, and that
from fifty to one hundred people have
been killed.
The long distance operator was in
connection with Go1iad at Z o'clock,
but beyond the fact that part Of the
town had been blown away, and that
in the neighborhood of a hundred per-
sons had been killed, no other particu-
lars could be obtained.
Considerable damage has also been
done at Beeville by high winds.
Both towns are close to the gulf,
and telegraph wires by two routes are
down.
A special to the Post late tonight
from Goliad says:
At a quarter to o'clock this after
noon tornado struck the beautiful
and historical town of Goliad and left
death and destruction in its pathway
beyond the power of pen to portray.
A correspondent reached the scene
at o'clock on special train from
Victoria, Tex, bearing doctors, nurses
and medicines, friends and relatives
of Goliad people and the O'Connor
Guards. The scene which met the eye
on reaching the scene of destruction,
which was in the western part of the
city, was appalling. Between Church
and Patrick streets, which run north
and south, a distance of a mile, only
one house was left standing, and
scarcely a vestige of man could be
seen.
Very little damage was done except
within these boundaries and for
width of 25O yards.
The tornado was preceded few mo-
ments by a heavy hail storm and
deep rumbling sound, but no one had
any premonition of the disaster. and
there was no opportunity for escape,
as the tornado, dealing death and dis
aster, was all over in a few moments.
The people of Goliad realized at
once the stupendous nature of the ca
lamity and the terrible loss of life
and injured, and telephoned to their
sister cities of Cuero and Victoria for
assistance, which was responded to inn
mediately. General Superintendent
Forbes stopped the regular Beeville
train at Goliad and turned it back to
Victoria, bringing in on the return
trip the doctors from there and abun-
dance of medicines and surgical ap-
pIiances. Another train came later
from Cuero with a number of ply
sicians and dozens of nurses and many
citizens.

THAT REGICIDE CONSPIRACY.
The Madrid Papers Inclined to
Think the Matter Has Been
Unduly Exaggerated.

Madrid, May. 19.-The police here
are extremely reticent regarding the
discovery of the anarchist plot. Sew
eral of the papers now question
whether the arrested men really en-
tertained the intentions attributed to
them.
1t is said the authorities. on get
ting an inkling of a purchase of
dynamite, ordered inquiries made
concerning each purchaser, and the
existence of the conspiracy is thus
thought to have been confirmed. New
ertheless, the Liberal declares that.
as a result of the preliminary inves-
tigation, probably only Gabriel LO-
PEI, an emplOye of an insurance Of
fee, and Francisco Suarez, the we'll
known anarchist, will be brought to
trial, although the others are still
detained.

Timely R2inS.

Jackson, Miss, May 1S.-Crop ex-
perts say that Mississippi was bene-
flied a cool two million dollars by the
general rains of last week, and the
precipitation was veritable God-send
to growing vegetation. Advisory re-
ports are to the effect that nearly
every portion of the State was visited
by the downpour, and in some coun-
ties rain was badly needed, the sit
uation being almost critical. Nearly
all cotton, except the very late plant
ing, is now up, and the first chopping
has been finished in many counties,
especially in the southern section,
where the crop was planted early.
