COUNTERFEIT COINS IN USE
Government Sends Out LIST of Spurious Bills
That Are Floating Around.

Chief John E. Wil6ie. of the United
States Secret Service. has submitted his
annual report to the Secretary of the
Treasury, showing the progress of
the campaign against counterfeiters
throughout the country.
Discussing the question of counter
felt money Chief Wilkie says there is
always more or less conjecture about
the amount in circulation, and. while
the absolute determination of the ques-
ton is perhaps impossible, an effort
was made the last fiscal year to Sc
cure figures that would give an approx
imation of the amount. More than s.
900 circulars We're sent out to the ma
tional banks of the country enbodying
a number of questions relating to coun-
terfeits. both of currency and coin.
Twenty-Five hundred and sixty-nine
banks reported that they had seen no
counterfeit money during the calendar
wear January l to December 81, 1908.
The total amount of counterfeits re-
ported as having been handled during
that period was slightly over 81, 000
This consisted of S11,S00 in coin and
SO 400 in notes About 1900 banks re-
ported a decrease as compared with
preceding years, and 100 an increase
An ANALYSIS of the returns showed L.
S42 banks reporting SO or less having
been seen in the u months, 172 report
ing between SO and $25 106 between
SOS and $50. 81 between $50 and s1Oo.
% between 800 and 5000, and S reported
over $500. 1t is considered a liberal
assumption that the figures returned
nv the national banks represent fully
.one-half of the amount of spurious
money IN circulation.
On this basis the total would approx
innate s23, 900 in coin and $4,000 for
notes. With a total circulation of $685.
900. 600 in coin and 81, zoe. 900, 600 in notes
these figures would indicate trifie ov-
er So in counterfeits for each $4,000 of
coin circulated and a little less than 81
in counterfeit for each 100000 of pa
per circulated. The reports by state
banks showed that those of Maryland
had a total of $3.50 50 in counterfeit
money. of which $1O1 was in notes.
Twenty-Five descriptive circulars re-
latins to counterfeits were>sent out
during the year, several of them as
mere matter of form, for some of the
notes We're so crude as to make their
general circulation impossible OF the

the photo-mechanical process, being

The makers and passers of Is of the 25
notes were arrested, and in nearly ev-
cry case the plates, tools and parapher
MALTA captured and destroyed. Six of
the remaining seven whose sources are
unknown are of such a character that
their general circulation is impossible.
The seventh is still matter of in
vestfgation. The most important work
of the year perhaps was that connect
ed with the SO United States note de-
scribed in the circular OF October Is,
1908, and the 800 gold certificate de-
scribed June Z, 1904. Both of these ap-
peared in the East and were in the
dangerously deceptive" class.
June 9. 1904, Marcus Graham, an ex-
pert photo-engraver, of Providence, r.
l., was arrested by agents of the Sc
cret Service at st. Louis, Mo-, where
he had passed two of the 500 notes at
a race track. Twenty-eight others were
taken from his pockets, and their pres
ence was explained by the statement
that he had found them in a blank
envelope at the Union Station the night

minnesota State Fair Premium List,
Shows Wonderful OFFERINGS

Minnesota State Fair Premium List
Shows Wonderful Offerings.
In the issue of the Premium List
of the Minnesota Stete. Fair of 1904
the management has departed from
the usual hackneyed form and has
produced an artistic and very attrac-
tive little book. 1t is larger than has
been used for some years and is
bound in silk fiber cloth of blue color
with very handsome design stamped
in blue of darker shade on the front
cover. Within, the paper and the
type are good and the arrangement
| clear and concise.
Besides getting out a creditable
| book the officers of the State Fair
have improved the list in other ways.
The entire offerings of premiums
have be en- revised carefully. In every
! department of the fair additions have
be On made and in all several thou.
sands of dollars have been added to
the total. With increased purses in
the racing program the entire prize
offerings of the Minnesota State Fair
this year will reach the enormous
sum of $4,000.
The new Premium List shows that
the National exhibitions Of the Ameri-
can Shorthorn Breeders Association
and the American Hereford Breeders
Association will be again held in con-
nection with the Minnesota State
T air and that the popular auction of
cattle of these breeds will be a fea-
ture.
The introduction also states that
the popular night programs will be
continued and that the new Manu-
features Building will be completed
in time for the opening of the fair.
This building will be l2O by 100 feet
in size, entirely fre-proof and very
handsome and creditable structure
in every way. Half-fare rates to the
next fair have already been assured
by the railroads.

be obtained by addressing Sec. E. W.

tuberculosis i'm Cattle.

It has been commonly believed
says en- exchange, that tuberculosis
among cattle was more common in
the crowded districts,in and about the
large cities. The report of the state
live stock sanitary board, which was
given at the annual meeting of the
board at the state capitol last week,
proves that this is not the case, and
the report given by DR.. S. FL. Ward,
secretary of the society, impresses
once more upon our minds the neces-
sity for immediate and united effort
in the direction of procuring good
milk for use in the country as well as
in the cities. DIR. Ward states that
748 cattle have been condemned and
killed for tuberculosis during the past
year, and also states that fully one
half of this number were COWS found
outside our large cities. When we
consider that comparively few tests
have been made in country districts
we realize the awful possibilities of
this scourge, and hope for the time
when no milk will be sold in this COM
munity unless the COWS have been
proved to be in a condition which will
not endsnger the health of our
people.
