Chicago, April 3.-When Barney Cav
anaugh, the oldest conductor in years
of service ever employed on the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad, signed pen
sion certificate No. 408'' Monday in the
office of President Hughitt a tear glis-
tened in his eye.
I'D rather go ahead and stay in the
harness." he said, with smile that
indicated a sort of sadness. This
means that I am through working for
ever, and 1 like to work.
You've done enough work for two
men. You have earned a rest" said
an official standing near by.
II will be mighty restless. But I GER
tainly am going to keep busy for
while,'' and the old conductors face
beamed with a smile. I'm going to
play an April fool joke on myself by
going visiting
So Barney Cavanaugh. who was
placed on the pension list of the rail-
road for which he has worked As con-
secutive years, started yesterday on a
pleasure trip-the first one in his busy
life.

DEFRAUDED AN OLD MAN.
Sharpers Have a Fake Draft Cashed a
CherryVale.

Sharpers Have a Fake Draft Cashed at
Cherryvale.
Cherryvale. Kan, April 3-The Re-
publican says:
Just as the oil flyer pulled into town
last evening an old farmer who lives
near Columbus was "flimf1ammed' by
five confidence men. The method used
was the draft scheme. The men had a
draft for $500 purported to be genuine
and drawn on the Caney National
bank. Just at train time one of them
discovered that he needed money at
once. He had nothing but this draft
gained the confidence of the old farm
er prevailed on him to advance him
some money on the draft until they
got to Chanute. Having secured the
money all got on the train but the
confidence men took care to get off
the train after 1t started. The old man
grew uneasy and before the train got
to Chanute a message was sent back
to look out for the men.
Special Santa Fe Detective Gregg OF
Chanute. came down this morning to
take charge of the case and he with
local officers was busy today investi-
eating the affair. It was learned that
the five men stayed at the Exchange
that night. They were seen together
several times yesterday and after the
train pulled out last evening were seen
together dividing the money. The de-
tectives aided by local officers are hot
on the trail and there is but little
doubt that the culprits will be brought
to justice.
One of the gang is said to be the
same man that stole $50 from an old
gentlemen in a tent here during re-
union.

GOOD FOR GAS CONSUMERS.
The Kansas Natural in Charge of Line
into Fort Scott Shortly

Fort Scott, April s.-The Kansas
Natural Gas company has commenced
work out near LaHarpe, tapping the
Central Gas company's line. and with
in a few days it will have the proper
connections completed whereby it will
supply the Fort Scott consumers. The
tapping of the line is at a point thirty
seven miles west of this city and four
miles from LaHarpe.
The Kansas Natural Gas company
supplies gas to thirty-two cities in the
states of Missouri and Kansas. Kansas
City is one of the towns, and after
proper connections are made COM
plants of low pressure will not be
heard in Fort Scott unless the gas
gives out, and this is improbable, as
the Kansas Natural has practically
control of the gas in this state and
in the territory. The pressure will be
many times greater than at present,
and the company assures us that a
much better service will be given to
consumers The Central has been
leased by the Kansas Natural syndi-
cate.

BIG BANK DEPOSITS.
Statements Show CreditabIe Increase
at Garden City.

Garden City, Kan, April 3.-One of
the indexes which give an idea of the
prosperity of the community is the
deposits in the banks and by this token
Garden City has been going ahead for
the past two years. At every time that
a statement has been called for by the
comptroller of the currency there has
been a noticeable gain. Two years ago
Garden City had one bank and the
deposits were in the neighborhood Of
$25o,00O. Now two banks are doing
a f1ourishing business and the deposits
are shown in the last statements of
the banks to be over S850,000.
A statement of the Garden City Ma
tional bank for the two years since it
was established gives an excellent idea
of this increase in business. 1t is as
