time for the printers Of these dan
gereus duplicates, but without
success, and Investigations have
been held to find out, if possible,
by what surreptitious means the
plates We're got out Of the bureau
of engraving, but nothing new was
learned. Strange as it may appear,
it is very evident that the theft Of
a government plate is not such o
very difficult matter. The process
by which the government plates
are made is as follows:
The engraved plates are given
a hard temper and then placed un-
der q soft steel cylinder which
takes the impression. The cylin-
der is then tempered to the hard
nest OF the original plates, and
from it impressions are taken on
soft steel plates, from which the
printing is done. From this cyl,
inder press as many sets Of plates
can be made as desired. Until
within q few years this cylinder
press was most carefully guarded,
three locks being attached to it, so
that three officials necessarily were
present when it is operated. But
in late years some officials con
cluded that one lock,was sufficient,
and the others were done away
with. This left it a comparatively
easy matter for the secret opera
ton Of the cylinder press and the
making of duplicate plates from
which the spurious notes could be
printed.
There is hardly a doubt but that
some dishonest official who had &c
cess to the cylinder press provid-
ed himself with a set Of plates or
was bribed to do it for a large sum
Of money, and it is absolutely GER
tain that those who have the plates
and print and pass or sell the bills
have made fortunes at Uncle Sans
expense without any fear Of de-
lection or punishment. AS these
duplicate bills arc never detected
until they reach the Redemption
and then only if duplicate
numbers are detected, and as the
bills so detected come from banks
all over the United States and
Canada. which shows that they
geep them well distributed. No
doubt they are careful about their

HEARsT LIE NAILED.
By DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE,
CHAIRMAN MACK.
Who Says He Never Received Ono
Cent From the Former Chairamn
Nor the Standard Oil.

While in New York City Tuesday
Mr.. Norman E. Mack. chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
contradicted another of the numer-
ous lies that Hearst has been putting
in circulation about the Democratic
campaign. Mr.. Mack addressed a
telegram to President Roosevelt in
which he denied fatty the statements
contained in the reported interview
between Timothy l.. Woodruff, chair
man of the Republican State COM
mittee and President Roosevelt.
which were printed in local papers
Tuesday morning.
Chairman Mack's telegram to the
President follows: II notice in The

in the treasury Of the Democratic
party after Judge Parker had de-
clared throughout the last national
campaign that the party's treasury
was receiving nothing from corpo-
rations; and. further, it was an
nounced at the time OF the election
that the treasury was empty. The

HE FOUND OUT.
Wanted to End Out il Young Wife
Loved Him.


At Paris, a grey bearded French
man recently married girl in her
teens, and kept wondering whether
she loved him. Would she weep
when he died. or would she rejoice,
and marry again? He would put
her to the test. and he revised
gruesome strategem.
He locked himself up in room.
and waited. After some hours his
wife wondered at his unaccountable
Disappearance; had the door broken
open. On the bed lay her husband,
his hands crossed. his face white.
his body motionless. apparently
dead. Now, the wife would show
what she really felt. She gazed AT
him, came to the conclusion that he
really was dead, and danced break
down in the room.
Up leaped the corpse and roared'
so that is how you would srieve
for me? Then take this. and threw
clocks and candlesticks at her. She
fled, and he continued to vent his
disappointment by smashing all the
furniture in the fiat.

HEARST FLUNKS
HE DECLINES GOV. HAshELL'S
CHALLENGE.
The Yellow Renegade Knows That
He Would Be Proven a Liar II He
Accepted.

VIM. R. Hearst, who has been
campaigning for the national ticket
of the independence party in the
South and Middle West, returned
to New York Monday night and
soon afterwards issued a statement
concerning the challenge of Cover
nor c. N Haskell, of Oklahoma.
In his recent speeches Mr.. Hearst
had charged that Haskell, who IS
now treasurer of the Democrats:
national committee, sought in 1898
to influence Attorney General Frank
Monnett, Of Ohio, to dismiss certain
suits then pending against the STAN
dard OH Company. In telegram
to Mr.. Hearst, which he made public
Sunday night, Governor Haskell
invited Mr.. Hearst to publicly prove
his charges before 4 committee OF
editors.
Mr.. Hearst refuses to accept the
suggestion Of an editorial board Of
arbitration in the following
language:
To the Associated Press: ad-
dress this communication to you. as
cannot have the slightest cor
respondence or controversy with a
man of Mr.. Haskell's character.
"Mr. Haskell's proposition reminds
me of the well known story of the
burglar who was caught in the act
by the police. When the police burst
in upon him they found hin. in front
of safe which had been blown
open, with his tools in his pocket,
dark lantern in one hand and his
other hand on the valuables in the
safe. The police dragged the burg
lar to the court room and the judge
said to the culprit: -
'.'Well, what have you to say for
yourself?'

AT Toledo. Ohio, on Tuesday,
former Republican Attorney General
| Monet, Of Ohio, was asked, What
do you think the effect of Taft.

Republican party in Ohio this fall?"
Here is Mr. Monett''s answer:
This is extremely amusing in
light of the nominees on the Repub-
jican ticket put there by Taft. Cox,
Brown and Guilbert If Taft COM
mences the eliminating business he
will have to resign from the ticket
or get new bed fellows. He cum

being the same crowed he at once
denounced as unworthy of the sup
port Of the decent citizens. If b..
rises to the high moral plane Of elm
mating Foraker, he will surely have
to eliminate Judge A. Shauck from
the supreme bench, whose record
in the Standard OIL contempt pro-
ceedings is more vulnerable than
anything Foraker has done.
"Shauck voted to acquit the
Standard Oil agents against ths
com bined votes of Judge Thaddeus
J. B. Bradbury, Minshall, and ~.
Mitchell and Williams. He voted
to acquit Virgil Kline, for the Stand
ard OIL Company, who openly defied
the court when eordered to produce
the books of the company. They
charged the attorney with contempt
of court and throwing away OF the
books during the very time the court
ordered them produced.
They burned twenty-eight boxes
of day books and ledgers in the
furnaces OF the Standard OH re-
flneries before it was found they had
notified the. conrt they had no siich
books and when this infamous treat
ment was laid bare to. the. court and
testimony and depositions furnished
by laborers that burned the books,
this same Judge Shauck, now rum.
ming third term on the supreme
court bench, voted to clear the crooks
by dissolving proceedings against
them on a motion of John NJ. Sheets,
my successor as attorney general.
Was Foraker friend Of Burkett,
the Judge whom Archbold asked him
to support?" was then asked.
Yes. Foraker was OF the same
political faction as Judge Burkett.
He was also the political friend OF
Judges Williams, Bradbury and Min
shall. All of these last three named
Judges voted the Standard OIL guilty
of contempt, and every one OF theR
was beaten for denomination over

ported by Foraker, his friends. or

Judges Shauck, Speak and Burkett,
who voted for them were supported
by the Standard Oil lobbyists and
