FRAUDS IN A BALE OF HAY.
Frauds in Watch Cases.


According to an article In the Cincinnati
Commercial, a ffty-one pound stone was
recently found In that city secreted in 4
bale of hay of eighty pounds.
This is not as bad as finding lump Of
lead Of nearly one-half the weight Of the
solid gold watch case secreted in the cen.
ter Of the case.
Gold watch cases are sold by weight, and
no one can see where this lead is secreted
until the springs Of the case are taken out
and the lead will be found secreted behind
them.
These cases are made by companies who
profess to be honest but furnish the means
to the dishonest to rob the public. It Is
not pleasant for anyone to find that he has
lugged lump Of lead In his watch case.
Another trick the makers Of spurious
solid gold watch cases Is to stamp the case
~. s. Assay The United States does
not stamp any article made out of gold
and silver except coin, and the fakir, by
using this stamp, wants to make the pub
lie believe that the government had some
thing to do with the stamping or guaran-
teeing the fineness Of watch cases.
Another trick Of the watch fakir il to
advertise q watch described as a solid gold
filled watch with a twenty or twenty five
year guarantee These watches are gen.
orally sent C. 0. D.. and If the purchaser
has paid for the watch he finds that the
Company which guaranteed the watch to
wear Is not in existence.
The ber-Hampden Watch Company,
Of Canton, Ohio, who are constantly ex-
posing these frauds, will furnish the
names Of the manufacturers who are In
this questionable business.

RATS MADE BEDS OF MONEY.
When the Nest Was Found the Miss
ing Bills We're All Intact.

When the Nest Was Found the Miss
ing Bills We're All Intact.
A short time ago Mrs. Mike Huller,
who keeps a grocery on the corner of
Eighth and Elm streets, hid away
where she could easily find it, $40 in
bills for use at time when necessity
or desire required it. She thought of
thieves, but not of the rodent de.
scription, and was, therefore, quite
particular in selecting hiding place.
A few days later she thought she
would take look at her hidden treas
ure, with the view Of assuring herself
that the money was where she had
hidden it, but on going to the place
her surprise can easily be imagined
when, on placing her hand where the
money ought to have been, she dis
covered that it was gone.
Matters remained in that condition
up to few days ago, when, hearing
rat travelling around the house, the
idea struck her that rats were the real
purloiners Of her money. Going to
work with a vim she was not long in
ripping up two or three planks from
the floor Of one Of the rooms of the
house and, instituting a close search,
was greatly elated to find that rodents
had actually stolen the money. packed
it away and made cosey bed Of it,
for there it was before her eyes, Ev-
cry bill was found intact, not dollar
missing. (Ky.) Cleaner.

She Bought a Fine Diamond.

A Minot man came into possession OF
a huge diamond which was said to be
werth $50 by one of our jevelrymen, it
is claimed. At any rate the man said
it was worth half hundred plunks any
way, and the fellow wore this huge stone
from Africa in his shirt bosom. 1t hap
pened that he was in the habit of being
shaved by barber of the feminine
gender in this city and she took great
fancy to this stone. She wanted it at
any cost. The fellow owed her someth-
ing like $40 on shaving bill and said il
she would give him $50 to boot, she
could have the sparkling stone. She
readily took him up on the offer and
paid him the cash. Later she took the
diamond to a jeweler who informed her
that it was made of paste and worth
just $50 She is trying to get back he1
money, but the former owner says she
will have hard task.

J. Bradley's Sister Dies.

At seven o'clock Monday evening the
10Th inst, Mrs. Thos. Case laid down
the burden of life, which had grown
heavy and weary through suffering.
Deceased was born in Clinton county,
New York state, on October 3lst, 1850.
Her maiden name was Matilda Bradley.
Six years ago she was united in marriage
to Thos. Case, the ceremony being per-
formed by Rev. Saudders, at Oberon.
For the past couple ofyears her health
had not been good, and about two
months ago she suffered severe attack
of illness, from which she never rallied.
Knowing that her days were numbered
she quietly expressed her wishes con-
corning the last sad duties to the dead,
and when death came she passed away
'to where beyond these voices there is
peace without struggle.
The late Mrs. Case was prominent in
church and charitable affairs, at the
time of her death being vice president
of the ladies' aid society of the Congre-
gational church. Fond of doing good
deeds and helping less fortunate ones
she won the respect and esteem of all
with whom she came in contact. and
the love of those admitted to intimacy
