Searching through Geigers effects
tonight, the coroner found in dress
suit case the entire correspondence
between Geiger and the firm since
he began trading with them There
We're sheets OF paper filled with fig
lures which, appeared incoherent I'M
til 1t was found that the man had
calculated the interest on nearly
every dividend paying stock at IT,
present prices. There were figures
showing what an investment of $780,
600 or 100000 would bring. There
was also Geiger's bank book telling
eloquently of the dwindling c.sls
account to the last check. He had
had $4,000 in the Fifth Avenue bank
of whcih all but $3.50 had been check
ed out.
The letter from Mr.. Olliphant that
made Geiger realize that disaster
was near was as follows: I'VE have
carried your account from IS to 81
months ct six per cent. and in these
critical times We are no longer able
to CARY 1t at that interest. Unless
the balance is forthcoming, we will
be forced TO close your account"
Geiger was able to stem the tide
for little while by the sale of some
Japanese bonds. His lawyer Nath-
anil b. Barnwll of No. 20 Brad street,
Charleston. S. c., notified him on
December 2 that he had sold the
bonds and forwarded the proceeds
to the oliphant firm. Another let
tel shows that Geiger tried to sell
his interest in 300 acre farm in
Green county, Ga. He was also in

pose of when the pinch came, bnt
did not succeed. This interest vas

La. Planter.
Our planters are taking advant-
age of the prevailing dry wealth
er to do as much cane planting
as the somewhat demoralized
condition of the field forces will
permit, and after the effects of
the Christmas holidays have
passed more rapid and ~satisfac-
tory progress will be possible
along this line if the weather con-
ditions continue as now, very
favorable for the work. There
seems to be a disposition to
make a large planting, and the
D. "A and D. 95 canes are being
largely utilized in this way so
that the acreage in these canes
for the coming year should show
a considerable increase. The
cold weather experienced during
the early part of the current
week put an effectual stop to the
sprouting of stubble and fall plant
cane and was beneficial in pre-
venting the sprouting and germ

rows.

 When we left Carlisle last April, we ais not know waesher we would locate here or go farth- e rnorth, but after spending a fee weeks here, looking over the eowa and surrounding country. we decided that we would like to make our home here for awhile and that possibly cur health would De as good here in the Ozark Mountains as in the far north country, so We bought us a smsa farm right on the mountain fop where We have pure fresh air and spring water.
 The change both in location and occupation is 50 different that l can hardly realize that cur stay IS to be more than temper ary. So far wa are very much pleased with the place and l am growing stronger and Mrs. BaouS' health is very much i'm proved. This is a great town for i5s size, all quite a popalar resort and the town and sur rounding country has many attractions and much beautiful scenery, especially to one who has been accustomed to a level country.
 Farming here is qnite different to what 1t is around Carlisle. Tie farms are small usually only few acres, and planted in fruit and garden
 We have d good home market here, and the farmers wagons going to town early in the morn ing with their produce reminds me of the milk wagon going to the creameries at Caalisle.
 We got out on the farm too late this sumner to get in the mar ket with much produce, but we expect to try gardening and fruit growing and raising poul- try l have just purchased a flock of twenty nine white Wyan dotte chickens.

Morristown, n. J. - Before the
eyes of his young wife, George
Davis, aged %, on Wednesday lost
his life in an unsuccessful attempt to
rescue John Arke, an S-year-old boy
from drowning. The boy went out ON
the ice of Rockaway river and broke
through. Davis and his wife saw
Arke drop into the water and Davis
cut down the clothesline in his yard
and tied one end about his waist. He
gave the other end to his wife and
started toward the boy. who was
fioundering about in the broken ice
Lying down, Davis reached out and
seized Arke and shouted to his wife
to haul in on the rope. She drew her
husband back from the hole until the
boy was out of the water. AS she
started to pull again the rope broke
and the man and boy slid back into
the water and were drowned.

By Secret Service Agents
Posing as Engravers.
THREE SCHEMERS
Who Planned to Counterfeit the
Money of the Colombian Re-
public are Arrested.

New York;. D. Sulsona, tutor
and said to be head of a school
of languages in Far Rockaway, was ar
rested Thursday by secret service
agents, charged with completely in the
ownership of a plant to counterfeit
100 peso notes of the Colombian re-
public. Simon Boehm and Samuel
Otero were arrested several days ago
on similar charge. 1t is said that
other arrests may follow. Sulsona
was arraigned before United States
Commissioner Shields and held in
$4,000 bail for examination. He is said
to be prominently connected with a
number of we'll known South Ameri-
can families who are now located in
this city.
The arrest of Boenm, Otero and Sui
soma followed a long investigation by
the secret service officials in the
course of which it was learned, they
allege, that the men had planned to
have the plates made in this country
and then print the notes in Cuba. Most
of the evidence was obtained by a
secret service man who posed as an
engraver and displayed plates as a
proof of his workmanship. These So
called sample plates were loaned for
the purpose by the government bureau
of engraving and printing.
