Harry, whom they believe to be the
head of green goods syndicate, which,
from the number of States it covers
ami the magnitude Of Its operations,
stands alone in this line.
CONFIDENTIAL CIRCULAR.
Ragsdale turned over to the police a
number Of circulars he received from
the green goods house. To start at
the beginning, 1t was about six years
ago that Ragsdale received a circular
marked confidential" 1t told the
usual story Of how s. and $40 notes
could be passed as readily as the real
thing. Ragsdale saw visions Of wealth.
He counted out $500 in good notes of
Uncle Sam and boarded the train for
New York. He was swindled, of
course, but caused the arrest Of the
man who was known to him in the
transaction.
His next move was to notify Captain
Reynolds. On the strength of Rags
dales information Philips was arrest
ed, but because OF the departure Of
the Missourian, the police were unable
to hold him, although they believe the
syndicate Of which he is said to be the
head is operating extensively in South
ern and Western States and that
several other green goods men are in
terested in 1t.
Ragsdale was accompanied to this
city on his last trip by a friend, whose
name the police decline to make
public. Before returning home Rags
dale wrote to Captain Reynolds, giving
explicit directions how to capture the
swindlers.
In his letter, which was dated last
Sunday, September 81, and mailed
frum Washington, Ragsdale says:
81 amnot j. b. ,Dingle, and there is
no such person at Moberly, Mo, I am

years ago, was skinned and captured
Philips with McClusky's men. He
gave me my money back and l let him

In business and had to go back to-day
or would have come over.n
Captain Reynolds was furious when
he learned that the Missourlan had
departed without aiding In prosecut-
ing the green goods prisoner.
But before the case came to trial
Ragsdale had returned to his Mis-
souri, home, and the police frowned
and said something about settle
ment The green goods man was re-
leased because OF the lack of prosecu-
tor.
Several months ago Ragsdale had a
return Of his dreams Of six years pre-
vious. The same sort of q circular
started it. 1t told again Of how plates
for s5 and $40 notes had been spirited
away from the Bureau Of Engraving
in Washington, which enabled the
syndicate to turn out an enormous
amount of money at bargain-counter
prices. In addition to this we're sam
pies of paper on which the notes
would be printed. Ragsdale bit again
and after some corresponding agreed
to come to New York. He was told to
register at a certain hotel under an
assumed name, go to his room quickly
and not stir until man came and
knocked on the door and whispered
"front" the password, through the
keyhole.
STILL In BUSINESS.
Ragsdale obeyed the Instructions re-
ligiously, and when the password was
given, he opened the door and behold
Sheeney Harry appeared.
"Gee whilikensl Are you still in
the business9" asked the astonished
Ragsdale.
"Why, howdy-do!" responded the
man with the password. 81 am still

HOOK CALLS A HALT.
EnjOins Crane & Co. From In
terfering With Book Trust.

The American Book company has
taken hand in the injunction bust
ness. Yesterday while the attorneys for
Crane &. Co. were busy trying to Sc
cure another restraining order IN. the
state supreme court, Charles Blood
Smith, one of the attorneys for the
American Book company, went over to
Leavenworth and secured restraining
order from Judge Hook, in the federal
court, enjoining Crane & Co., Quinton
& Quinton and County Attorney Mich
OILS from interfering in any way with
the business of the American Book
hold good until September Is, when
Judge Hook will hear it argued in
Wichita
Judge Hook came home from Mich
sort of an action was wholly unlocked
for by those interested in the fight
against the American Book company.
Quinton & Quinton were preparing to
between the American Book company
and the state textbook commission, but
the Injunction from the federal court
will head off such a proceeding.
The attorneys for the American Book
company figure that this restraining or
der will allow the company to proceed
with its contract and supply the book
dealers of the state with the Appleton
readers and other books for which the
American Book company secured con-
tracts. Many of the schools of the state
will have commenced by September Is,
the date On which the restraining order
will be argued, and the company will
have sold enough books to supply the
schools of Kansas for the next year at
least, and it is counted that the bust
ness of the first year will be perhaps
half of the contract for the five years.
So that even if the suit should go
against the company after September
Is, it will have already done big bust
ness in the state.
The attorneys for Crane & Co. are
acting on the theory that the injunc-
ton granted by the supreme court re-
Gently against the American Book COM
pany has not been dissolved. and that
the company cannot come into the state
until it has been dissolved. The other
side believes that the securing of a
charter from the state charter board
dissolved the force of the injunction, as
the Injunction was granted on the
ground that the company had no char
ter to do business in Kansas
1t is stated that in the suit to annul
the contract held by the American Book
company, the oft-repeated charges of
corruption against the company will be
made in detail.

OPPOSE THE LIGHT PLAN.
Councilmen Fight Proposition to II
Illuminate Fair Grounds.

Several councilmen who seem to be lack
ing in public spirit, objecting trenu-
ousiy to the plan proposed at last nights
council meeting for placing a dozen arc
lights in the fair grounds to light the
grounds during the state fair The plan
proposed is that two of the street lamps
shall be taken from each ward in the city
and placed in the fair grounds for the
week This will involve no expense and
only small amount of work
Councilman Swendsen, who fought hard
city physician last Monday night and who
wants to raise the pay roll of the po-
licemen, is leading the fight against plac-
ing lights in the fair grounds. He is
assisted by Councilman Wolf and one or
two others. Mr.. Swendson declared that
he would fight to the last ditch any at
tempt to remove two arc lights from the
Sixth ward. even for one weeks time. 1t
is not quite plain why some of the co,in-
cflmen are carrying knife for the state
fair
1t has been customary in times past for
the city to furnish free lights for such
state fairs. One year SO many extra lights
were furnished that 1t was found neces-
sary to shut off one entire circuit of city
lights each night during the festivities in
order to keep the extra lights burning.
There was serious objection TO the plan
at that time
The resolution providing for furnishing
the extra lights was referred to the cleo
trio light committee and will come up at
the meeting on August Is.

CITY PRINTING FIGHT.
Squabble at Leavenworth May Result
in Law Suit.

Leavenworth, Kan. Aug. THE city
is in a squabble over the question of
city printing, and it may find itself in
lawsuit over the matter before 1t Is
settled.
Some time ago the council, by unan-
1mOuS vote. gave the contract for all
city printing to the Western Life a
weekly publication. and the paper pub
lished the city's matter until few days
ago. when it became necessary to print
TIE. matter in daily publication. West
eTn Life, therefore, was unable to fulfill
its contract, and the council voted to
give the city printing to an evening
daily paper. Western Life declares that
its contract entities it to all pay for
city printing for a period of one year,
aid 1t intends to contest the councils
right to revoke that contract. Mayor
Ryan is out of the city and it is not
known what action he will take in the
matter when he returns. His friends
say that he will refuse to take the con-
tract away from Western Life. AS
result of the controversy. city printing
is piled up several feet high in the Office

weight. He says he will at once set
about improving the quality of his

improvements in manufacture. It will

rest where it is. In about 80 days I
shall ask for another RATHER test, and I

The test which was made showed
that Blackman brick, while it came in
side of the 20 per cent. limit set by the
standard specifications, was of much
more brittle quality than other kinds of
brick used in Topeka pavements.
