"EAsY MARku MADE A VICTIM.
But the Winners Found They Had
Won Counterfeit.

Bedford, Ind, April 1. - A stranger
drifted into Oolitic, a small town near
here, and flashed a big roll OF money
a few days ago. When he visited the
saloons he was a good fellow with
the sporting fraternity.
His roll tempted the gamblers of the
town, who arranged a game of poker
to which they invited the stranger.
He readily consented. By the time
the strangers roll, amounting to
about S1,50O, had passed into the
hands of the local gamblers, he had
pocketed about $500 Of good Oolitic
money.
With this he left town saying he
had lost all he could afford. 4ester-
day when several of the men came
to Bedford to deposit their winnings
in the bank they discovered that the
money the stranger had lost was all
counterfeit.

May Kill Sanatorium Bill.
The doctors in the legislature were
surprised at the ease with which the
bill to appropriate $4,000 for a hospit-
al for consumptives went through
the house. But three negatives votes
were recorded against it, This &C
ton, SO prompt and SO satisfactory and
so peaceful. led to the suspicion that
dependence was placed by the house
on the senate committee on appropria-
tions.
It is a fact that the s50,O0G for the
consumptives is not included in the
budget of either of the committees on
appropriation. 1t is not unlikely, there
fore, that the senate committee will
turn out to be the grave yard of the
measure.
The doctors both in and out of the
legislature are earnestly at work, how
ever. Among those most enthusiastic
about it is DR.. E. Luther Stevens of
this city, He edits the Iowa Medical
Journal in addition to his work as a
practicing physician and in behalf of
lust such measures of public good and
public benefit as this, he is "steam
engine"
The doctors in the legislature are
mighty effective men. There is DR..
Summers of Van Buren,, DR.. McCul-
loch of Wayne, DR.. Gregory of Adams
and others in the house whose word
goes long ways.

HORTICULTURAL MEETING.
New Plan Will Be Inausurated by
Members of Society.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Sedgwick County Horticultural society
was neld May in the orchard os Frank
Iaw. five miles south of here A large
attendance was present and. regardless of
disagreeable weather, kingly spread
and a genuine picnic was had Every
body enjoyed themselves immensely.
Sedgwick county boasts of many fine
orchards, but there are very few that
are equal to that of Frank Yaw In this
orchard was held one of the most inter-
esting meetings that the society has vet
Aiad. Several good papers were read on
good subjects The paper read and dis
cussed by Mr. McNaily of Oatville on
Strawberry Culture" was especially fine.
Mr.. McNally is the largest strawberry
grower in Sedgwick county and under
stands his business. This county is be-
coming one of the best strawberry coun-
ties in the state. and when the crop COM
mences to ripen the market will be sup
piled here with home grown berries The
society has decided TO put cards with the
name Of the grower and his membership
of this society on them in every box of
fruit and any dealer or consumer buying
a box with that card in it may rest as
sured that the fruit is all right.
The fruit growers are of the opinion
that the dealer does not do the fair thing
with the consumer when he let's his fruit
stand on the sidewalk in the sun air
and dust, for all the germs of disease
that may be in the atmosphere may pos
siOly get TO this fruit. The society and
the fruit growers are expressing no little
satisfaction at the fact that some of the
dealers have begun TO place their fruit
in windows and on stands inside of a
building
