CITIZENS WILL
ENFORCE The LAW
MINNEHAHA RESIDENTS PLAN A
VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.
Will Have Men Deputized to Stop Dis
orders and Make Arrests-Ex-S ena-
Inadequate Police Protection the
Cause of the Move.

Residents of the Minnehaha Park
district are planning to form a vigil
lance committee. The idea is to have
some twenty of the active citizens of
the community appointed as special
police who will be empowered to put
a stop to the operations of grafters
and other disorderly and illegal acts
which are said to flourish at times in
the pavilion district and to make ar
rests when necessary.
The movement was started by
former senator S. A. Stockwell who
has already been sworn in as special
officer. A number of others will FOL
low his example and much is hoped
from the work of these new officials.
We've haven't any police protec-
ton worth speaking of now" said
one of the Minnehaha residents to
7 h e ourna,l. The sight of q
city officer in our vicinity is SO un-
usual that it causes widespread COM
ment. The park policemen do as lit
tie as they can in the park and of
course they are entirely useless out
side where they are needed most.
THE plan of having our residents
appointed special officers is the only
one which, to my mind, affords any
solution of the difficulties resulting
/ from the Coney Island features of our
;neighborhoor. We will have to
| stand the pavilion nuisance for a year
ior so yet and until they are removed
we certainly need some sort Of police
protection

BAD DOLLARS IN TOWN
COUNTERFEITS OF ASTONISHING
ACCURACY FLOOD THE CITY
BETRAYED By SMALL DE-
FECTS.

Counterfeit dollars of astonishing
accuracy of design have been delug-
ing the Minneapolis banks for the
past two weeks, and the tellers have
been working overtime separating the
good from the bad.
1t was stated at the Northwestern
National bank this morning that more
than hundred dollars in bad money
was turned in each month and that
during the past fortnight the amount
was still greater. The dollars are re-
turned to the depositor, who is gener-
ally ignorant Of the fact that he is
passing counterfeits.
The old story that no matter how
skilful an artist may be, there is
always something wrong when he
tries to engrave counterfeit plate,
seems to apply to the present counter
feits. They are almost all of them new,
altho some show signs of having seen
extended circulation. Nevertheless,
they all have one Of two faults. They
are either improperly milled or they
are a trifle too large or too small. The
bank clerks have become extremely
expert in detecting the fraud and can
generally spot them at a glance.

FIGURED IT RIGHT
How Practical Oil Men Reasoned
and How Their Theories
Proved Correct.

There are hard headed, keen,
thinking men in the oil business as is
shown by the history of the great oil
fields in Delaware county, near Nun
Gle, Ind. The field was originally the
largest gas producing area in the
natural gas belt Hundreds of wells
were drilled and a few years ago the
gas began to give out. Some thought
it was a calamity, but practical oil
men from Pennsylvania came and
reasoned that gas is a product of oil;
that, being lighter, it would be found
above the oil in the porous Trenton
rock, and that it's pressure would tend
to keep the oil down. The next de-
duction was that if wells were drilled
on it's way up. Some oil had always
been found in the shallower holes, and
the first deep drilling was viewed
with contempt by the inexperienced
but results showed how closely the oil
men had figured red wells loo began to
day, and deep drilling became the
only method used.
Today Delaware county is the
heaviest producer Of oil in Indiana
and the oil is of a high grade which
is next to the best Pennsylvania
Co has piped the field and the in
dustry now compensates a thousand
| fold for the exhaustion of the natural
gas. 1t is in the heart of this field
that the Gopher Oil Co., composed
largely of well-known Minneapolis
men, has acquired 200 acres of land
and has two wells already in oil, with
a third we'll now being drilled. While
there was vestige of uncertainty in
regard to striking OIL no chance was
given for others to come in. Now.
| however, with a property of known
value, rapid development is desired
and small block of stock-par value
Sis offered at 80. It is a big
chance for few who will aci
promptly for the profits In the oil
/ business are traditional. Call on OF
