MADE FALSE coin.
A Serious Charge Against a Min
lister of the Gospel.
Says His Intentions Were Gont! and
that He Was Trying To Make
Medals for Sunday School.

Federal authorities have unearthed
a strange case of eounterfeiting in
Lincoln, III. it, which the Rev. ]. R.
KAYE. of the Wheaton Presbyterian
church, will be called to account.
More than 80 sloulds of coins rang
ing frcsi dimes to dollars were found
On his premises by Capt. Porter, Of
the United States Secret service.
The nn;tiister admits making the
rlolds, but declares that they were
made with ne criminal intent and
that no coins were cast. His object
YVES to find a composition Of metals
from which he could make medals
for his Sunday sehro. scholars.
The raeulds were in more or less
Mutilated condition. Some of them
were in fragments. All were scoup-
ed out, destroying the imprint. La
dies, which had been used to run
the metals into the molds, were al
80 discovered by Capt. Porter. The
captain found no c0ins. He says
that the notis were all very crude
and that coins cast from them could
not have been passed. When asked
why he had scraped out the inside of
the molds the minister said he knew
if they were found. talk would be
created. The print of a dollar bill
was also found in the possession of
| the Rev, Mr.. kave. This. he explains
was used by a boy who instructed
him how to make engravings for the
New Voice, a Presbyterian publica-
ton, of which he was editor.
In commenting en- the case Capt.
Porter, says the law does not pro
vide for cases Of counterfeiting in
which there is no criminal intent.
But under the law Of 1891, that cir
cumstance is not an eXtenuation.
Any one found with counterfeiting
tools in his possession is guilty un-
der the federal law. Kaye was not
placed under arrest. The case has
been turned over to the Federal
Grand jury in session at Springfield,
| III. He will have to stand trial if
the jury finds a bill. Commenting
on Kaye's excuses Capt. Porter
says they are in the course Of hu,
man nature. Any person wishing
to secure medals for patterns could
easily do so.
The fact that the molds were
scraped out is a tacit acknowledge.

THE BOIL WEEVIL.
Being introduced Into Georgia in
Texas Cotton HullS.

Texas Cotton HullS.
Members of the Georgia Cottor
Crushers Association have notified
the Georgia department of agricul
ture, at the State capital, that cot
ton seed hulls from those section Of
Texas affected with the dread boil
weevil are being shipped into the
State in violation of the Georgia
state law on this subject.
AS a result of this information g
conference has been called to meet
lin the office Of the commissioner OF
! agriculture, at which time these
! charges will be investigated. In
speaking of this matter, Captain
Wright said: "It is most important
that this investigation be thourough
and steps taken to confscate those
shipments of hulls under suspicion
in order that there may be no
spread of this pest in Georgia.
These hulls are said to come into
this State from that part of Texas
where the boil weevil is known to
exist, and this is in defiance of the
Georgia boil weevil law on this sub
ject. AS these hulls are under the
ban, they are, of course, on the
market much cheaper than the hulls
in Georgia, and would doubtless find
a real sale.
''In order to protect the dairymen
who feed this brand of food to
their cattle and the cotton seed oil
mills against the delivery of cotton
seed which might effect the cotton
seed Ci indus:r, this boil weevil law
was passed in 1905, and is being rig
idly enforced.

TROUBLE BREWING.
Japanese Offers Many Insults to the
Americans in Japan.


"Natives of the states are now,
and have been for some time, sub
jected to all sorts Of indignities from
the mongrel class in Yokohama.
The loftier set have many times
been SPECTATORS of insults hurled at
American tourists by the natives.
The officials seem to take no notice
of many acts Of discourtesy. The
English as well as Americans are
focred to swallow all sorts of in
suits
This is the statement by C. J.
Mead, a wealthy Buffalo, n. Y,
capitalist. He says the Japs would
welcome war with the states Mr..
Mead has been back just three
weeks.
Ambassador Wright fears the
outcome" he says. Il was talking
to him just before l left Japan: The
native carriage drivers of Japan,
who haul the American tourists in
their two-wheeled dog carts, seem to
take special delight in dumping
their guests out on the ground with
a sudden lange. This generally hap
pens in the most public places, and
the natives howl their banzais Of
delight. :.
The guardians of the peace, if
called on generally ignore the COM
plants Of the Americans, have
seen several Americans slapped out
right in the face. The willy Japs
have been told that this is the white
mans greatest insult. They firmly
believe that Gen. kuroki is in the
country now on mission as a spy
in peaceful times. "

IN THE FROZEN NORTH.
Prospector Bum Had Narrowing EX-
pcrienccs on Barren Lands"

The arrest of Charlie Bum, of
Of Edmonton, Alta, again brings
into limelight a man who for nine
days was lost in the land Of the Mid
night sun. The charge is a serious
one and may be changed to murder.
Several weeks ago, at Athabasca
landing, Bum got mixed up with
a man named Prudden, who is now
in such a condition that it is feared
he will die.
Charlie Bum has lived the life of
a nomad. He spent the earlier days
of his manhood in. Montana as cow
boy. During the Klondike gold
rush in 1898 he went to Edmonton
and joined an expedition for the
far North. The expedition went in
search of an alleged mountain Of
pure copper at the source of the
Copper Mine river near the head
waters of the Mackenzie.
Bum fell behind the party with
a sprained ankle and for nine DAYS
crept on the snow, subsisting on
moses and berries. On the ninth
day he found an abandoned Indian
camp. There he discovered fishing
nets and lived precarious!y until the
return Of the Indians. They cared
for him and later he returned to
where he has been lead
ing his usual rough life.

Epraeed husband and Friends ''Take

Rev. Frank Hawley, pastor Of the

the ministers of Fulton KY, was
horsewhipped by ". W. Meadows a
leading capitalists and foremost cit
izens Of that city, and after being
fogged until he was Frustrated, was
sent from the city under threats OF
death should he return.
The shocking affair, which has ere
ated the most profound sensation IN
the history Of Fulton, is an after
math to the suit for divorce filed by
Mrs. Meadows, a few days ago; her
allegations Of cruelty and aversion
on the part Of her husband being
generally construed as being a direct
result Of her much-talked OF associs-
ton with young Hawley:
The Rev. Mr.. Hawley went to Full
ton some two years ago from Char
lotte, N. c., and becoming at once a
most popular member of society
through his attractive personality;
was accepted as a welcome factor IN
religious work Of all kinds. No
breath Of gossip was associated with
his name until the denouement OF a

meyer, who writes poetry now and

mony and pronounced the words

During the Month of May by
County Dispensaries.
QUARTERLY REPORT.
Dispensary Auditor West Complies
Statement Showing Sales for May
and for the First Quarter.-New
System Decidedly More Profitable.
Sales VIII Go Over Two Million
Dollars in the State for the Year.


A special from Columbia to The
News and Courier says Mr.. ". B.
West, dispensary auditor, has COM
piled statement showing the sales
of the county dispensaries for the
month OF May and also for the Ihree
months since the county dispensary
system has been in operation. The
statements made shows that over
100000 worth of whiskey has been
sold through the dispensaries i'll that
month, which will mean at this rate
the sale of about s2,500,000 OF w5is-
key through the dispensaries in one
year. Uuder the old dispensary sys-
tenn a business Of about Two million
dollars per year was done, but since
that time several counties have gone
dry. The figures on file in Mr.. West 5
Office and the statements published
and sworn to by the county boards,
however, show that the profits under
the new system, even with the small
number of dispensaries. will be larg-
er than the profits of the old system.

Some girls fail in study because they have
