BOGUS CHECKS.
Spurious Clearing House Certificates
Circulate in Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Upon recon-
mendation of the Clearing House as
ISOLATION Mayor Busse will take
steps today to suppress a vicious form
of burlesque currency that is being
circulated in imitation Of clearing
house checks. A number of frauds
have been perpetrated with the spur
ious checks, and it is the intention Of
the officials not only to put stop to
their circulation, but to prosecute per-
sons who have used them for swind-
ling purposes.
Advertisements of a weekly paper
are printed on the back of some of the
fake" checks, Endorsed by workers"
etc.
While not counterfeits or forgeries
the Checks bear close resemblance
to the clearing house checks now in
use as currency throughout the city.
In a number of instances reported to
the bankers committee, persons who
failed to examine the paper slips
closely have accepted them as money.
James B Forgan, chairman of the
clearing house committee, called the
attention of Mayor Busse to the
frauds. and asked that steps be taken
to suppress the nuisance and punish
the offenders. The mayor said he
would instruct Chief of Police Shippy
to act at once on the recommendation.
Members of the clearing house COM
mittee have been investigating these
alleged humorous checks for several
days. One banker found a tobaccon-
list who was willing to accept one of
them in payment for cigar and who
was rendering the change when the
banker pointed out the deception.
The heading of three of the checks
selected at random are National
Cleaning House association Bank
ers' Dream association" American
Lemon House association"
One style is printed in blue colors
closely sembling the true certificates
with the square box at the left con-
tanning such phrases as Free pass,
good at any depot to watch the trains
pull out" "In God we trust; in banks
we bust" This check is good for

Washington, Nov 29.-Justice David
Brewer of the supreme court of the

A paragraph is going the rounds of
the press of tie state advising that
hard water can be made soft by put
ting it through cream separator. If
one hasn't cream separator we pre-
sumo it would do just as we'll to put
the hard water through tanning mill
and blow out the hard ingredients, OF
put it in barrel churn and turn il
until it becomes soft. In case water
is too hard TO be treated in this man
ner, about the only way TO soften il
is To put it III gunny-sack and pound
it thoroughly with IA club. Hampton
