THE COUNTERFEITER

When he returned home he burned
light all night and there was pecu-
liar noise in the house which made
all the neighbors talk.
NJ Durand struggled with himself
for a long time until he at last made
up his mind that It was his duty TO
find out something about his myster-
ious tenant. One day he put a revol-
yer In his pocket and knocked at the
door of the cottage. He intended TO
say that he had come to see about
an absolutely necessary repair to the
roof OF the house, which must be look
ed after Immediately.
After talking for a long time the
tenant at last consented TO open the
door. and the owner entered. The
first thing which struck his eye was
a small press, and all around were
plates OF copper and suspicious look
ing instruments NJ. Durand turned
pale II was no longer TO doubt, his
tenant was counterfeiter.
Wasn't that just what thought"
he said TO himself. quite aloud, and
now that the ice was broken, he con-
tinued furiously Now | know what

sir, Don't try to deny that you are
making counterfeit bills
II can't deny IT," the tenant replied,
and looked very downcast.
II will have to inform the police. T"
II suppose II Is your duty" the
other said with "A sigh, land after
all 1t doesn't matter. I've had enough
OF it. For 20 years I have tried TO
make those silk fibers, which would
make IL absolutely impossible for any
one TO distinguish my bills from those
issued by the Bank of France
And you have not found the way
of making them, suppose" M. Dur
and interrupted.
Il have found the way" the coun.
Eterfeiter replied, taking 50.franc bill
from the table and handing It TO his
landlord
"Just look at that one and judge for
yourself. II is the first one have
made"
NJ Durand went over 10 the window
and examined the bill II was a splen-

could see there was nothing about 1t

Swiss watchmakers are reported to
be busy filing English and American
orders for finger ring watches. The

novelty. The manager of an old Lon.

Primary Petitions Must be Filed.

This is the last week of the can
vass Of enrolled voters for signature
to primary petitions, as all petit
tons must be in by August II.
The primary election will be held
on Tuesday, September 1. The Sat-
urday previous is primary enroll
ment day. 1t is probable that the ex-
perience of Illinois is ascertaining
the result will be repeated in Mich
igan. In that state the results or
the primary last Saturday are still
unknown, so far as the actual results
are concerned, and it will probably
take equally as long to secure the
actual final count in this state. I'm
der the law the election inspectors
must certify the result in their res
pective precincts within twenty-four
hours after the primary is held and
the county election inspectors must
make their return to the secretary
of state within ten days after the
election.
County Clerk Martin says there
are several candidates who have
not, as yet, complied with the re-
quirements Of the law. He wishes
they would do so at once so as to al
low all possible time for checking

Dudley Plant in Saginaw Closed.

the saginaw COur1er-Herald says:
The Office and factory force of the
Dudley Butter Company were laid
off last night for all time, that firm
going out of the business. One man
will be kept on the premises, how
ever, to look after the firms proper
ty and to institute a general cleanup
about the place.
"Enormour increases in freight
rates by the railroad companies, in
creases which in some cases are over
100 per cent, have made business in
improbable" said General Mana
ger n. H. Wonderful last night.
"The advance in transportation
costs amounts to about two or three
cents per pound on butter, which is
more profit than there is in the
business; hence the reason for clos
ing is obvious,
on the part of the creditors, as we
will pay every cent of indebtedness
standing against us. During the
time We have been in business we
have worked up some parts of the
country so that they are supplying
us from 200 to 400 ten-gallon cans
of cream per week. So as soon as
we get our accounts Strengthened
out and an inventory taken we will
start churning factories around in
different parts of the country. This
will allow us to avoid the necessity
of dealing with the railroads and be-
ing subject to their excessive rates,
making a much more profitable pro-
position for the company"
Mr.. Wonderful severed his connec-
ton with the Dudley Butter company
last night and will in the future oc-
cupy the old plant with wholesale
market for butter eggs, cheese and
poultry.
The Dudley Butter company was
secured by the M. & M. about two
years ago. Rumors that it was to
close have been current for some
time and were given some credence
owing to the closing of the Dudley
plant at Owosso about week ago.

After calling attention to the fact
that many electric companies do not

Municipal Journal and Engineer says
editorially:
1T is the undoubted duty of all cities
whose streets are lighted by private
companies to obtain the lowest posi-
bic rates for this. but 1t will certainly
be for the ultimate good OF all con-
cerned that their efforts in this direc-
ton be conducted with spirit of fair
ness. a majority of the unfortunate
differences which arise between mu-
inequalities and public service corpo-
rations result from a failure Of the
former to realize the business condi-
tons under which the latter must op-
crate, and such differences are In the
end disadvantages to the municipal
ity as well as to the private corpora
ton. Publicity of the accounts of
such corporations would do much to
obviate these misunderstanding and
many corporations are realizing this
and welcoming such publicity"
