,cifc branch, was before the Senate.
Committee on Military. Affairs: to-day.
where Senator Perkins had the name
of: former Governor n. H Markham

= Senator Perkins says his action IN
the matter is in no wise "a. reflection

rs that: he. stated, he. had pledged him
self previously to the: support. ot ex-
Governor Markham, -; who when a

in having the home located at Los

Thirteen Buy Bogus Paper.

Saturday night thirteen of our bust
ness men were taken in by a smooth
stranger for sums varying from $15 to
S25. He was man about 30 years of
age, light complexion, wearing a
moustache, and had been ia the city
for the last two weeks. His mode of
operation was to makea small pur-
chase, and offer check on the First
National Bank payable to John White
and purporting to be signed by Fred
Rupp. farmer residing near the city.
He claimed that the check had been
given him by Mr.. Rupp in payment
for labor performed as brick layer or
something of the kind. The business
men to the number of thirteen accepted
the checks and handed him the change
in coin of the realm. They did not
learn that they had been victimized
bv forger till Monday when they
banked the CHECKS, and he had nearly
two days to mske..his getaway. Del

Circular Advertising.

Those of us in private life who are
constantly receiving circulars and ad-
vertisements by mail, and who are led
into continual wonder as to how and
why our names have suddenly become
public property, will read the follow
ing explanation of the matter with sill
the satisfaction of gratified curiosity
There are in the cities large class of
men who call themselves dealers in
names" Their stock in trade is &C.
tually just that-names. The names
of thousands of.business men, of pro-
fossional men and of women and boys
and..girls.as we'll. These are for sale.
printed in sheets, about half an inch
apart. so that they may be.cut off and
pasted on wrappers or envelopes. and
are bought by business men who want
to send out circulars, publishers who
have books and periodicals to send out
and promoters and inventors who have
something to introduce. The dealers
get these names in all sorts of ways.
from newspapers. official documents,
directories. blue books, lists of men,
bership of clubs, associations and cor
porations, and in various other I'M
heard-of ways. These lists are kept
carefully revised and corrected. so as
tn be at all times reliable. -Ex.
