FRAUDS AND SWINDLES BY MAIL.
By CAPT. HENRY CASTLE Office Department

1t is plain that this genius can at least
do one thing that is wonderful. He can
exploit his brazenness at hight to which
the impudence of other swindlers has sell
dom dared to soar. An intelligent man
may know him to be a charlatan the mo-
ment he reads the headlines, but where
there is one wise man there are nine suck
ers who must be protected. Selling n gold
brick to a farmer is serious deviation
from honesty, but preying upon the dupe
who has but little money, who may be
dangerously i'll, and who needs the best
medical care, is one of the most diabolical
of crimes.
The Department has put an end to n
matrimonial bureau that was doing thriv-
ing business in the East and Middle West
with inducements rivaling an offer of
cheap coal or equivalent blessings. The
scheme was to place advertisements in the
newspapers, stating that the name of n
wealthy widow or wealthy man who de-
sired to enter tile matrimonial state would
be furnished for consideration. To per-
sons answering this advertisement cir
cular was sent describing the person more
fully, and holding out the inducement that
he or she was worth $4,000. In this
same circular So was solicited for the
name and address and introduction to
such person. From hundreds of letters
the POst-ofice Inspectors secured it was
proved that no name and address was fur

Story of the Three inns"

The story of the 'Three Jims," all Of
whom were members of Co. 4, nth N. Y.
and each of whom lost leg June 81, 1864,
in the battle of Petersburg, Va, has not
been told in The National Tribune Judge
James a. Lawrence, of Tecumseh, Neb.,
the last survivor of the three, gives the
following description of the affair:
"The Third Brigade, Second Division,
Sixth Corps, was deployed in line of battle
near the Weldon Railroad, the 18th
n. Y. on the right of the line. The rebels
were very active in our front, and were
shelling our position with 32-pound bat
terry. The three Jims'-James Allen,
James 4. Barnes and James A. Lawrence
were sitting together eating their noon
meal, when n shell dropped near where
we were, wounding the left leg of each
so that immediate amputation was neces-
sary. |
I'VE were taken that afternoon by am
bulance to q temporary hospital, eight
miles distant, at City Point, on the James
River. A few days afterward we were
removed with the other wounded to WASH
ington, d. c., and We three assigned to
Ward in the old Stanton Hospital. We
recovered and separated, and after the
war Barnes and Allen returned to Essex
County, n. Y, and l came West. Barnes
and Allen died in 1890 within few weeks
of each other, and at that time 1 was in
New York, having gone 10 attend the

II have been a resident of Tecumseh,
Neb., for the last % years, and am in fair
health, considering my three-score years
and the hardships l have passed through.
am n constant reader of The Ma
tional Tribune, and have in my heart a
warm place for the old soldier. If any
of the veterans who read this article ever
visit Nebraska, ard will call upon me,
they will receive hearty welcome"
Judge Lawrence is at present Police
Judge of the city of Tecumseh. He served
for a number of years as member of the
City Council, and is now a member of the
City Board of Education, which position
he has held for about ~ years. He is an
esteemed citizen and is well known in that
part of Nebraska.

Valuable Swamp Lands in Missouri Re-
claimed.

Stranger than the extravagant tales of
Jules Verne is the story of the lost lands"
of Missouri. These were situated in the
southeastern part of the State and COM
prised more than 100000 acres. The
remarkable earthquake of 1911, which
lasted several months, severely injured this
region, leaving the land, known as the
sunk country" under water. The great
est depth, an expanse Of five miles, was
in New Madrid County, and this part Of
the State was almost an unbrOken sea
out of which grew great trees. There
were some hills and knobs, just as there
are islands in the ocean, but principally
the section was under water the year
around. TwO-thirdS of the sO-called 'lOst
lands" was covered with dense forests, the
foliage of which was so thick that at noon
it was like twilight under the great trees.
Deer, wild turkeys, bears, squirrels, and
ducks found SO little molestation that the
section was a rendezvous for beast and
fowl In New Madrid County the water
was so deep that no surveying party was
ever bold enough to enter the region. The
first serious, attempt to survey it was
made by Otto Kochtitzky, who received
an appropriation Of $1,000 from the Mis-
souri, Legislature for that purpose. This
was the beginning Of the reclamation of
the sunken lands.
Today this great Shiny sea has slipped
away. Two canals almost twice the length
Of the one the Government proposes to
build across the Isthmus of Panama have
been dug from the upper interior of the
great forests, and the water turned into
the Mississippi One of these canals is A
miles long. 40 feet wide, and IL feet deep.
Another is 35 miles long, 40 feet wide,
and 10 feet deep. Running into these
main canals are smaller ones which drain
the contiguous country for eight or 10
miles on either side. Altogether there are
233 miles of canal in New Madrid Coun-
ty alone.
AS late as nine years ago few men sus-
pected that the land was good for any
thing. Now there are more than 10000
acres under cultivation in New Madrid
County, and the increase is going on so
rapidly that it might almost be called
BOOM"
The land is very rich. Corn needs only
to be plowed twice. Turnips weighing five
and half pounds, apples II ounces, onions
and sweet potatoes weighing four pounds,
were all raised on land once a forest sea.
The price Of land is advancing rapidly,
towns are building and farms spreading
New Madrid has electric lights, tele-
phone system, and plenty of money to loan.
This section was brought into prOmi-
hence during the war of the rebellion by
the brilliant capture Of New Madrid and
Island No. 10, by Gen. Pope. His men

posite. through which the transports were
floated. The enemy, who were on Island
No. 10, being cut off from succor or re-
treat, surrendered with their entire force

gave Gen. Pope high reputation through
out the country.

nippincott's.)

During the recent excitement in the
South about smallpox, children, of course
were subjected to the ordeal Of vaccina
ton, and not few parents protested
against the vaccination of delicate chill
dren. A little girl who had been cons;d
cred too delicate to undergo the operation
for prevention had been kept closely al
home, and returned to her SuRday-schoo
only when all the alarm concerning the
epidemic was over. In the course of the
lesson the teacher asked her why Moses
was hidden in the bulrushes.
II suppose his father and mother didn't
want to have him vaccinated," confidently
answered the little girl,

Electric Mail Service.

An Italian inventor has commanded at
tention by his system of rapid electric
postal service. To determine the practi-
cability of the system an expert committee
has been appointed by the Italian Minister
of Posts. which now has the matter in
hand. The underlying principle is the
electric telpherage operated at phenome-
nally high speeds. Mention has been made
of speeds of $50 miles an hour, but, Of
course, it would hardly require such I'M
heard-of rapidity to render the system
valuable. Moderate speeds, with practi-
cally continuous dispatching, would be an
improvement over present railroad and
wagon distribution. Areas OF different i'm
pOrtance would receive a corresponding
service, depending on density of popula-
ton and commercial activity. Under this
system the towns of greatest importance
become the chief divisional offices, inter-
change of letters taking place between
them and towns Of secondary magnitude.
They in their turn become distributing
and sorting centers for still smaller towns.
The mail line wires are fed from high volt
age feeders supplying current at 5000
volts, to be reduced by step-down trans
formers to 26O volts potential. The dis
patch boxes are propelled by electric mo-
tors mounted on small trucks and taking
current through the wheels resting on
aerial wires. The permanent way is Of
light design, as neither the motor nor roll
ing stock require great strength. All lines
are divided into blocks, and no dispatch
box can enter one block until it is clear
of all other dispatch boxes. 1t is also
contemplated that sections just ahead of
any station would be cut off from current
so that the dispatch boxes, with the as
sistance of braking arrangements will
come to standstill readily. Among other
refnements of the system are an appara-
tus for stamping letters with the date.
hour and minute of posting, and poles
which act as transformer boxes. as well
as supporters of the permanent way, and
of boxes in which letters may be dropped
and then carried by an electric lift to the
top of the pole carrying the lines, for
emptying into dispatch boxes.
