LOOK OUT FOR
BAD DOLLARS

Captain Bell of Seattle, agent of the
United States secret service reports tha.
counterfeit silver dollars have made then
appearance in the Puget Sound district
Two Of the coins were discovered yes
terday, but no large quantities are known

there will be a good many in circulation.
The dollar countelteits, unlike the spui

cred, are undoubtedly made in this coun
try. They are slightly thicker than good
money, have a large percentage of alloy,
and the milling and engraving is not clear
cut like genuine coin turned ont under
the supervision OF Uncle Sam They would
easily pass muster, however among those
meXpert at detecting good money from
bad were it not for the fact that they
have the peculiar "soapy" feeling that
characterizes coins in wlncn the percentage
of silver is low.
For the present. at least, it win be a
good plan not to accept any silver dollars
without looking at them closely.

The steamship Pleiades, which was
towed to Victoria by the tramp steamship
Nicomeda. with a broken propeller shaft,
has been libeled for 100000 by the owners
of the Ncomedia.
The Nicomedia, Captain Wagner. is a
German tramp ship, owned by the Ham
burg-American line, and under charter to
the Asiatic Steamship company of Port
land. The Nicomedia was bound from
Portland to the Orient with general cargo.
when on Wednesday afternoon last. about
a quarter to o'clock, her skipper's at
tenton was attracted by the signals Of
distress shown by the Pleiades.
Going to her aid, brief communication
took place between the two commanders.
As a result the German tramp passed a
line to the Pleiades and took her to Will
lam head.
The Pleiades, said Captain Wagner. was
showing the distress signals "N. c. when
sighted. She was hauling down and raising
her flag to attract attention and was blow
ing her whistle On Wednesday afternoon
the weather was fine, but next day a
strong sOutheaster was encountered Then
tlense fog was run into, and Sunday
night another very heavy blow was ex-
perienced. BY working slowly and eau

states that had the Pleiades been without
assistance another day she would in all
probability have drifted out of the regular
course of steamers and been wallowing
around helplessly in the sea for weeks, pos
sibly months.
Captain Wagner was informed that the
propeller had been lost, but learned no
other particulars of the steamers mis-

OIL SOLVES SPRINKLING PROBLEM

Tacoma now has section of street
which Is oiled, free from dust and mud
and having the appearance of asphalt.
Today Frank Reese completed the work
of sprinkling Steele street for distance
of 70 feet from the corner of North
Fifteenth street with crude oil The work
was done to show the Tacoma property
holders what an oiled street looks like
and how it will do away with the dust.
The Pacific Asphalt company, of which
MIR. Reese is general manager, has secured
the contract to sprinkle & street from
Division avenue to Sixth avenue with crude
oil. The property owners along North
X and j streets are also considering the
plan and may do likewise.

Northern Commercial company operates
now over thirty steamboats, on the 'tauana

always has been to get boats Of sufficient
power and light draft to carry 4 heavy

With this purpose in view Captain j i

Gray. When fully loadcd she drew but
eight inches forward and ten inches aft,

solved.
The fame of the Koyuliuk has spread
and her designer has had inquiries con
ceI1ling her from all parts Of the world.
Because of the success Of the KoyulSuk
the company desired another steamer of
the same general type, but larger, and

"O'Rourke'' had spent the intervening
time in a dingy cell, and the jail bill OF

to leave the city within an hour, he was
released by Chief Mallory
The proposition on which Werner was
induced to put up his money was the Old
story of scheme to beat the races, the
bunko-steerers assuring him that the pro-
fits would be large. Werner had put up
about $50 and was soon to put up that
much more, when proprietor of local
gambling house learned of the affair and
warned Werner of the fake. Werner at
once asked for the return of his money,
but it was not forthcoming Then he de-
cided that he had paid too dearly for
his experience and he asked for aid from
the police department.
