COAST FIRM
 VICTIMIzED
By a Check Apparently Is.
 sued In Phoenix
It Bore the Signature of an Officer of the Sewer Company.

Someone, supposedly operating from | Phoenix, has lately sWindled a Los Angeles businessman out of $500 by means of a forged check Information l regarding the affair was received by Marshal Moore together with picture of the swindler and copy of the I check.
 The name given by the forger was ! Arthur Lack, but how the Los Angeles authorities secured his picture is not known. Since they seem to know nothing about him. The check which bore the date of July 16. was appar- ently issued by the Phoenix Sewer and Drainage company to Fred s. Lack , and was signed by M. s. Foss, the treasurer of the company.
 The swindle was made easier by the fact that Fred s. Lack is the presi- dent and principal owner of the sewer company, fact which no doubt the swindler brought to the notice of his victim, l.. NOrdlinger. if the latter was not already aware of it.
 The check was sent to the Valley Bank of this city for collection and as the business of the sewer company IS carried on through the National Bank of Arizona the check was sent there where the signature of Treasurer Floss was pronounced forgery as was the endorsement of Fred $. Lack
 The point now is to find out who Arthur Lack is. President Lack is out of the city, but Marshal Moore called on M. H. Cavanaugh, the man aSer of the sewer company yester- day and inquired what he might know about the affair. MT. Cavanaugh. said that President Lack had two brothers, one, George Lack, living in Denver and another brother. whose name he did not known, living in Los Angeles But Mir. CaVanaugh knew from the picture that he was not the Arthur Lack who figured in the forgery.
 Mir Cavanaugh had heard of the af- fair in a round about way before He said that several days ago. evidently before the cashing of the check a let CT had been sent to Phoenix address, ed to Treasurer Foss inquiring about the genuineneSs of the check. The letter was delivered to Dr. Foss and put back into the postoffice, so that it's delivery to Treasurer Foss was de- layed for some time. It is presumed that while Nordlinger was waiting for the information desired by the letter. his doubts regarding the genuineness of the check were overcome and he cashed it.
 L.~Nordliuger is connected with the big Spring street jeweIry store of S Nordlinger. Of Lack nothing is known here. Nobody has been found who can remember having seen any one resembling the picture accompanying the letter to the marshal Marshal Moore has informed Chief of Police Kern of Los Angeles of all the facts he has been able to collect at this end.

Politics are Queer

Politics is, or are, according to

first election, they were allowed to
vote for city officers, a friend Of ours
was a candidate for mayor Of lit
tie town that had just been incorpo-
rated.
Under the old system a straight
slip ticket was used. OF course the
ladies who had taken full advantage
of their rights, nominated a ticket
of good men. They also insisted on
having their ticket printed on the
best paper procurable, which happen
ed to be linen. The citizens were
satisfied to have their ticket on the
ordinary soft paper.
Well, there was a lively time on
election day. The citizens candidate
was not personally Objectionable, but
he was supposed to be too liberal.
He did not drink, but he did not
interfere with those who did. The
election day dawned. There were
carriages galore. You could be tax.

election demonstrated that politicians
were much alike, men or women
When the polls closed, our friend
was informed that there were four
teen more hard tickets voted than
there were hard ones and if they
we're all straight, our friend was cleo
ed by fourteen majority.
The election board was mostly OF
one side, but one exception wa!

candidate for some office but NJ
took so much time making his tick

board became suspicious. AS the,

Next we see the Admiral and his
host starting for the review. amidst
the cheers OF the throngs that line

the American officers and marines In
the main street of Sidney, which Is
beautifully decorated In honor of the

Reading In Bed.

Boys and girls under eighteen
should be strictly forbidden to read in
bed" says the Lancet, on the author
ity Of DIR. Hugo Fellchenfeld Of Ber-
lin, who declares that In the case of
young persons whose eyes are not
fully developed the practice is likely
to induce myopia. While young peo-
pie run the greatest risk, the Lancet
thinks that reading in bed Is unde-
sirable for persons Of any age and
states that Tin the case Of aged, anx-
ious, worried and bedridden people, to
whom 1t would seem cruelty to deny
what may perhaps be almost their
only luxury, for fear Of inducing some
slight error Of refractlon, care should
be taken that the light is sufficiently
brilliant, the eyes being shaded from
