Forger.
from Thursdays Daily Gazette.
Ed Mcfarland, arrested last week
on the charge of uttering a forged
check, al arraigned before Justice
Fraser this morning. w. w. Berry
appeared for him and waived exami-
nation. He said that the defendant
was the owner of a homestead north
of Columbus and that his presence was
needed on the land to look after his
crops. In consideration of this and
the circumstances in connection with
the alleged offense, the lawyer asked
the court to make the bond as light
as possible. The court needed the
appeal and held Mcfarland to the
district court in the sum of $500.
Now occurred a surprise. A. T..
Thomas, whose name the prisoner is
accused of having forged to the check
he had cashed and who is one
of the main witnesses for the state
to act as one of the bonds
men. He said he would take McFar-
land home with him and give him
work, as he required his services.

Badly.

AS a result Of a boyish prank Walter
Wesh is lying at the home of his pa.
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Phil. Wesh, with
a broken leg, which he sustained this
forenoon.
Along with some other lads Of about
his wi age he was north Of the city.
He was riding a bicycle, while one of
the other boys was astride a horse.
A race was proposed between the
horse and wheel and a course marked
out. It was evidently a close contest,
for in the excitement the wheel and
horse became mixed up and Walter
was run over by the animal.
The force of the impact was so
great that Walter was rendered un-
conscious, in which condition he re-
manned for a considerable time. His
companions gave the alarm and an ice
wagon, which happened to be near,
was pressed into service as an am
bulance and the injured boy was TAX
en- home.
Drs. Rinehart and Lindsey were
summoned and it was found that in
addition to the bruises and shock is
tanned one of the boys legs, the left,
was broken between the hip and ankle.

Uncle Sam in Charge Of a Chicago
Bank for Thirty Years.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The Third
National bank of Chicago has been
in the hands of a receiver since 1872.
For 30 years the government has been
running the concern. The creditors
were paid ages ago, but the stock
holders were SO well pleased with
the management of the controller of
the currency that they refused to- let
him surrender. For years Huntington
w. Jackson was receiver and man
aged the business; on his death his
partner, Colonel Henry Lyman was
appointed. The main impeachment tc
winding up the ~receivership was a re-
fusal to sell a lot of real estate on the
south side, bordering on Jackson park.
j. Irving Pierce, of herman house
fame, eve would give his consent,
During worlds fair times an offer of
a million dollars was made for the
property, but Pierce wanted . more.
New that the veteran hotel proprietor
is dead, the controller has hopes that
the trust a be wound up.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Congressman
j. A. Tawney's effort to ascertain why
American manufactured articles sold
in foreign markets at lower figures
than the same goods are sold for in
the United States, is to be used by
both the republican and democratic
congressional committees.
The republican committee has al
ready mentioned that such ~investiga-
tions were put forward by a republi-
cam member, thus showing that the
recent claims of democratic commit
tee that democrats had started the
agitation are not well founded.
The democrats will now undertake
to use the fact that inquiries were
made by Mr.. Tawney at the state de-
partment to- have our consuls abroad
give the price of certain iron and
steel manufactures and other articles
exported and used. 1t was reported
at the time that the department did
not comply with Mr.. Tawney's request,
anu that later he made the same re-
quest OF the industrial commission.
No public report was ever issued, but
the industrial commission did look
into the general subject.
The democratic congressional com
mlttee is now trying to get export
sheets from American exporters,
claiming that only by getting at these
sheets can it be ascertained at lust
what prices American machinery was
sold to foreign dealers.
Tawney's inquiries were the pre-
llminary move OF the part of several
western republicans who favor chang
ing the existing tariff schedules on
iron and steel, wood pulp, crockery
and earthernware, lumber and glass.

Enforcing Contracts.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.

H - ~~
The trustees of school district Mo-
2 have concluded that in order to
properly conduct the schools of the
district for the ensuing year they will
require a tax levy of eight mills; five
for general purposes, two for special
and one for the benefit of the sink
ing fund.
This decision was arrived at last
night, when the board met, and was
made the subject of a resolution.
The board also decided to open the
schools for the term September 8.
Considerable other business was
transacted at the meeting. BY resolu-
ton it was decided to Duy a lot of
platter casts of anatomical subjects for
th6-beneft Of the drawing class Of the
~high-school.
ELL. Gagnon, who had the contract
for building the new %north-side school
building, was notified that much of
h work still remained unfinished
and was given ten days in which to
complete it. If at the expiration of
that time the building IS not com
plete the board will undertake it's
completion and charge the cost to the
delinquent contractor.
Miss jamie Lamey was employed
as substitute teacher for the ensuing
year at a salary of $45 per month.
The clerk was instructed to pur-
chase a quantity of music books and
other supplies for the high school.
To Yegen Bros. was awarded the
contract for furnishing the Venetian
blinds for the new southside school
house.
Because of the increased amount of
work now attaching to the position.
the pay Of the janitor of the northside
schools was raised from $50 to sos a
month.
The application of John Carlson to
be appointed janitor of the new south
side school building was fauorably
considered and he was given the posi-
ton at a salary of $50 a month.
Some complaints having been made
to the board concerning he conduct
OF the janitors, the superintendent of
the schools was instructed to include
IN his regular monthly reports all
matters pertaining to the department
OF those functionaries and any lapse
on their part will receive attention
from the board.
August 1 is the date specified in
he contract when the new southside
school was ta be completed and ready
for acceptance by the board. For va
rlous reasons, however. the contrac-
tors have been unable to comply with
that part cf their obligation and the
oar tool the matter under consid-
GRAFTON. The contractors were on
hand and by letters and kilograms
endeavored to show that failure to re-
ceive lumber en- dates set in their
contract with the mills was RESPONSE
BILE for the delay.
After some discussion a resolution
was adopted notifying the builders
and their bondsmen that the board
would hold them to the terms of their
contract and exact the penalty provid-
ed for failure to finish the building
within the time stipulated.
Considerable unfinished business re.

until next Saturday %yenin Aupusf .
