STlCKNEY'S FIRST ROAD.
Something Concerning the Head of
the Chicago Great Western.

Washington, Feb. lS.-A. B. Stickney,
president of the Chicago Great Western
railroad, used to be superintendent of
schools in Saltwater, Minn., when I
lived across the river on the Wisconsin
side," remarked Horace A. Taylor, as
sistant secretary of the treasury. "That
was about the close of the war.
have known him well ever since He was
always original, forceful and aggressive,
even when a school superintendent.
"One of his first railroad enterprises
was in building from Saltwater to st.
Paul. / afterwards went in with him
in building short line on the Wiscon-
sin side, from Hudson to River Falls,
which was one of the few railroads [
ever heard of, where the investors put
up the actual money, dollar for dollar,
of what the railroad actually cost. A
number of us, of whom he was the NOV
ing spirit, gathered up the necessary
funds and paid for the construction
Then each man received one dollar in
bonds and one dollar in stock for every
dollar he had invested. In short time
I do not believe it was more than
year-we sold out to another railroad at
the par value of our stock and bonds,
each man doubling his money.
"After that Stickney branched out,
and finally acquired and constructed the
Great Western. He has always been
full of ideas of his own, and has never
harmonized fully with his railroad as
sociates."
Mr.. Stickney's road bears the marks
of his peculiar ideas. 1t has practical
ly no mortgage. He cannot be "closed
out" under the pressure of rivals. The
Chicago Great Western has four classes
of stock, the first of which is deben-
ture stock, then comes preferred GA"
and preferred 'B" and common" He
has paid dividends on the first two. Mr.
Stickney has held his own against ex-
traordinary pressure among the railroad
interests of his section, and in spite of
fierce resistance, has built up valuable
property. Secretary Gage once remark
ed that Stickney's address before the
American Bankers association several
years ago, was one of the most illumin-
ating discussions upon the subject of
finance that he had ever heard. Stick
ney's position in the railroad debate
now in progress is peculiarly original.

CAMBRIA A HOG MARKET.

Price and w. j. Evans sold lot of very
choice ones again that brought within
two and one-half cents per hundred of
the highest price paid in Chicago, some
of them being April pigs, weighing $50
pounds. c. S. Thurston has bought four
carloads here within the last week. Pc
ter Roberts delivered seventy hogs to
Cambria on Thursday.
Will and Dan Harris shipped two
carloads of sheep to Chicago last week.
They secured a raise of thirty five
cents per hundred and took on smile
that won't come off. They bought fif-

fine run of logs this winter.

RUSTED WHEAT is o. K.
Experiments Prove That the Seed Will
terminate.

From Tuesdays Daily.
G. G. Dalrymple, who is in the city
today, has just finished experimenting
with rusted wheat as seed, at number
of stations on the Dalrymple farms in
North Dakota. The results bear out the
tests of the Jewell people at Lake
City and other experimenters and prove
that seed wheat from rusted fields may
be used with satisfactory results as to
termination.
With the first of the good seed wheat
trains on the road today from Minneap-
oils, and three other trains soon to
follow, the question of the possibility of
using the rusted wheat for seed be-
comes important.
The Dalrymple tests were more extern
sive than any made heretofore. AT
Gardner, N D., sixty kernels were sown.
Up OF yesterday fifty-fve had appeared
and this morning a wire to Mr.. Dali
rymple reported four more coming above
ground. Thus only one of the sixty fail
ed to germinate.
At Casselton, out of fifty kernels
sown, forty eight appeared, and at Kel-
so forty-nine came up out of fifty.
The Gardner, Casselton and Kelso
tests represent various stages of the
rust damage as it appeared on the diff
ferent farms that make up the exten-
sive Dalrymple holdings.
In every case the rusted wheat, be-
fore being used for seed, was put
through tanning mill.
How this rusted wheat will stand up
against other wheat through the wea-
ther extremes and general crop hard
ship of an ordinary growing season, still
remains to be seen, but that it will
come up and start off as we'll as any
cannot be doubted.
Many farmers incline to the view that
wheat from rusted wheat that went
through the punishment of last years
bad season, should prove hardy and
able to withstand the next seasons
hardships in good shape.-Minneapolis

BAD MONEY is AFLOAT.
Banks Are Warned Of the CleverIy Ex-
ecuted Counterfeit.

eCuteo CounterIeu.
From Mondays Daily.
Newspapers told few days ago of
the appearance of new counterfeit,
ten dollar Buffalo note, so cleverly exc
cuted that it was almost impossible to
detect it. Mankato banks, in common
with banks all over the country, were
notified in regard to the matter, and
every effort has been put forth by the
secret service department to prevent
further circulation of the bad bills.
From information received from
reliable source it is learned that the
green goods men reaped rich har
vest in the circulation of this piece of
counterfeiting and there are indications
that they are several thousand dollars
ahead of the game. Indeed it is said
that not in recent years has so large
number of counterfeit bills been floated
at one time. They have made their ap-
pearance in all parts of the country.
1t is probable that few people have an
understanding of the way in which
counterfeiters work, and how they
succeed in disposing of such a large
number of counterfeit pieces. AS a
matter of fact, the counterfeiters do not
float it themselves. They sell the stuff
at big discount to those who act as
their agents, thus putting the later
on their own responsibility as to circu-
lating the stuff.
The manufacturers deal with the
purchasers under assumed names and
the man who palms off the green goods
on the public very seldom knows from
whom he gets it. Every means pos
sible is used by all connected with the
work to cover up their tracks complet-
ly.
One of the best posted men in the
country in speaking of the matter said:
Whenever a new counterfeit is
produced it is at first manufactured in
numbers large enough to make venture
profitable and then the makers proceed
to get it into circulation. When all
plans are complete the bogus bills are
sent out at the same time to each point
where there is an agent. On the ap-
pointed day the recipients of the green
goods make it their business to 90
forth and scatter the fraudulent money
broadcast. This is done usually by max
ing small purchases and taking change
in Uncle Sam's money, but there are
other ways.
''The public does not learn of the
counterfeit for several days, and in the
meantime the agent has made his '.pot'
and decamped. He and his confederates
wisely figure that their work will be
discovered in a short time and that it
will be impossible for them to carry
it on longer than two or three days at
the most. If everyone received bad
bill would notify the proper authorities
at once there would be more chance of
tracing it and catching the perpetrator,
and good many people are afraid they
will be punished if the counterfeit is
found in their possession and so they
say nothing"
