NO BOGUS BILLS
 IN PINE BLUFF
Local Banks State That Counterfeit Silver Certificates Have Not Yet Reached Them-Hot Springs Has ss Number of Them.


 Pine Bluff bankers, one and all, are on the qui vive for the new counter felt s silver certificate which are so freely throughout the Middle West and Southwest, but up 10 yesterday none of them had run across one of the bogus bills.
 Chicago. St. Louis and Hot Springs have all received q number of the commercials, and local bankers arc surprised that the ''shovers of the queer" have given Pine Bluff a wide berth up to this time.
 E Inquiry at local banks Saturday brought out the information that not fad been received in the city.
 All the local bankers have been no tiled of the circulation of the coun terfeits, and have been supplied with a description of the bills, and care ful watch is being kept on all paper money passed over the counters. :.
 Government secret service men arc logging the tracks of the passers of the money i'll Chicago. St. Louis and other points, but have been unable as yet to even get a clue to the iden- tity of the men who are putting the queer money in circulation.
 The secret service men are follow ing the trend of the channels of cir culation to the Southwest. Hundreds of them were in Chicago the early part of the week, and many of these transferred the scene of their work to St. Louis and other points. They have watched bar-rooms, stores, banks and other business houses day after day without result, the bills in creasing in circulation every hour.
 The description of the bill with it's defects. which has been supplied the local bankers for easy detection, is as follows:
 Date-Series of 1899.
 Number-D47963S7o
 General haracter-Silver certifi- cate, Indian head.
 Defects-Paper lacking in tough ness: silk threads initiated with the lines drawn by a pen; words Series 'of 1899" to left of Indian head Diur red: letter "B" incomplete in word "paya5le: extreme nont of figure "5' on reverse side extended further upward than in the genuine. In view of the fact that the cou:- ltel ,eits have reached Arkansas. Pine Bluh bankers are expecting that some of the bills will be presented hy busi- ness men within a day or two. OW ing 10 the fact that the counterfeit ia Iso clever that it is beyond the power of the average bushes man to de- !tect it. the bills are readily passed It business houses. As a rule none of l them have been detected except at banks. where experienced handlers of money readily detect both the quality of the paper and the defects in the bills
