entered an undertaker's shop in Cor litz, Silesia, and ordered the coffin.
 She showed marks of profound grief and told story which complete ly imposed on the proprietor. She said she wanted a coffin built to fit a woman of her size sent to her hus band at Lobau. She gave the name of her recent fiance as the consignee.
 It was for her sister, she said, and she told how the poor girl had shot herself through the head because she had been cast off by her betrothed husband, a court official of Lobau.
 She also gave the undertaken to ship in it myrtle wreath, bridal veil and an elaborately printed card, printed with deep mourning borders, announcing, as she told the under taker, her sisters death, but really her own, of course under her maiden name.
 The coffin with it's contents was duly delivered at Lobau to the district sergeant, who was first paralyzed with horror and later with rage when the c. o. D. bill for $27 was presented to him. He indignantly refused to pay pfennig, and then, in the Ger man way, the police took hand.
The Green Forest tribune., 1907-05-03

They at once saw something n.cse in the case than ghastly joke. The sergeant told them that the girl had written urging him to give her a meeG ing on the evening previous to tho arrival of the coffin He had taken no notice of the request, but the police had no trouble in establishing that she was on hand and waited until late into the night at the place she had appointed.
 She spent the night in the railway station, and in the morning hired a sleigh to drive her to Reichenbach, a town near Lobau. She told the driver to wait for her at hotel, but slipped away to the railway station and took a train to Gorlitz. There all trace of her was lost. The driver is still wait ing for his ray.
 The police are of two minds Some of them believe she intended to shoot her faithless lover and then herself Others think she intended merely to kill herself in his presence, figuring that his unavailing regrets would make him pay for the coffin and thus assure her the style of burial she craved for.

"The Indo-Chinese bank in Shang- hai was similarly affected It oc- cured about year ago. 1 remem- Der it well. A run started through a rumor that forged notes were in circulation. The Japanese who were in on the counterfeiting game were augmented by the holders of genuine notes, and in swarm they descended upon the bank.
 Where Will It Stop?
 This institution is understood to be backed by the French government. It paid dollar for dollar on every note. The run continued in tremen- dous volume, and the officials fixed upon a drastic move They recalled every note of the bank that was in circulation, and for five days kept them from passing out to the public. It was hoped in this way to unearth the holders of the commercials. It was unsuccessful, and the bank resumed the circulation of it's notes.
 The Imperial Bank of China has experienced similar runs. Where this is going to stop the bankers cannot say. The only reason it has not caus ed a suspension of business in the far east is that every man thinks he has q genuine note and therefore does act worry The only man now wos- wing is the banker, who is almost palsied by the thought that the mil lions of notes he is carefully guarding in his vaults may be merely mass of counterfeits made by the Japanese
 The bankers look to the paper manufacturers to save the day So far the only basis for declaring any of the notes forgeries has been a dis crepancy in the paper. It takes some. thug more than imitation to make the grade of paper required for bank notes. This last condition may be the means of putting a stop to the activities of the Japs, and likewise the greatest of counterfeiting schemes"

Revenge of the Discarded Sweetheart
 Of German Official.

The police of the Silesian towns are looking for pretty young woman on account of the vengeance she took re- gently upon a sweetheart who tilted her. She sent him coffin c. O. D., and the police think she intended to find use both for it and another if he had kept an appointment which she tried to make with him.
 The man in the case is bezirko- feldwebel, or district sergeant, at Lo- bau in Prussia. The young woman is Antonio Olenick, and she is the daugh- ter of a deceased railway managing director, her uncle being Maj. Gen. R. yon Kraine, of Dresden. Official in- uuiry shows that she had ordered trousseau to cost $250 from Lobau tradcsman and had spent considerable money on purchases fer it in Dresden.

Then the big bank did it's duty. it had in circulation was more than amply secured, and they determined that if the people wanted hard monsy for their paper they should have it, That night the bank remained open. and the procession of enalies kept up. The next day the bark did not close. And every hour for five days and five nights this rush continued.
 Extra funds from other branches of the corporation were hurriedly re, called and every note met Then the drain slackened a.Id the officials treathed easier. How many thou. sands of dolars h good English coin was withdrawn has never been di. yulged. Suffice it to say that when the year was rounded out and the statement of the bank made, the high CT officials were surprised. They again set about to see if forgery had not Teen perpetrateG Their in- vestigat;Jn merely brought out the fact tttat practically every note is- ued ny the bank had been returned, and that all appeared genuine. Then more notes began to come in. Gen. u'ne depositors and those holding the real notes began to be frightened by the rumors floating broadcast, and coming for the most part from drunk en, opium-craZed coolies who had se- cured unacustomed amounts of mon- ey. These depositors began to pre- sent their notes for payment. Then the bank officials knew there had ed futile, and they decided to lay the matter before American and English experts The result is now known.

McCune claims Ja- pan has been petitioned by several of the larger banking corporations of China, all of which are Europeans in stitutions, to enact drastic law. similar to that of the United States, making it high crime even to have a counterfeit note in possession.
 This is the condition in the far east" said MT. McCune. The bank CTS do not know where they stand. Runs have been started on them which were absolutely unaccountable. I recall in particular the case of the Hongkong and Shanghai bank in Shanghai.
 About a year and half ago a run started on this bank. The officials did not understand why. The institu- tion is an English concern, and has practically unlimited capital. In the middle of warm summer day great rush of notes began. Every obliga- ton was met without question. Dur ing the afternoon it kept up. The notes were for the most part present ed by the coolies. They were univer- sally of the five dollar class. The officials thought of counterfe:ting scheme, and had their experts in vestigate the notes. Several hours wore devoted to a study of them un- der a microscope. The experts had to acknowledge that no discrepancy could be found.

 It has been established that these commercials were placed in circula- tion at the opening of the Russo Japanese war, and possibly before. Instead of having stopped the tide has risen until the afflicted bankers are afraid of their own paper, because they cannot be sure of it.
 During the war it was openly charged that the Japanese govern nent knew of nefarious operations carried on and closed it's eyes and ears 10 them. Every Japanese or Chinese of the coolie class appeared with plenty of money. The banks were besieged, and the report was rife that the little brown men were securing a goodly portion of their fighting expenses from the four banks referred to.
 Experts to Investigate.
 Information has been received that the main counterfeiting plant itself has been located in Kobe The out fit is said to have cost at least S10O,- 000. The most expensive machinery used in the making of money has been employed in turning out this spurious note, and some of the most skilled workmen in the world did the delicate engraving of the plates The product of the plant is nothing less than reproduction of the Rus sian bank note.

and to the members of said bodies rep

The house passed the Cashel con-
current resolution from the senate on
the question of drainage and then
proceeded to the routine work before
It. The first bill reported from the
standing committees was what is offic-
tally known as s. B. No. 4, and pop
ularly known as the anti-Patterson
bill, which provides that no person
holding any elective Office in any coun-
ty shall be eligible to any city Office
when such person sits as member Of
the board of equalization in both
places. The bill has been the source

commissioners of Burleigh county.
There were two committee reports, a
majority and minority, and both
were sent to the committee of the
whole where there will be something
equal to circus when the bill comes
up for consideration.
The other bills reported from the
several committees were as follows:

empowers boards Of county commits
sioners to dispose of any property
acquired by the county through for
