Fipps Will Contest

Last week Wednesday Attor-
neys representing Thomas Fipps,
Democratic candidate for County
Treasurer against John D. Ulrich,
the successful candidate served
notice of contest on Mr.. Ulrich.
The following open letter from Mr..
Ulrich explains his position and
his view OF the situation.
To the Citizens of Montgomery
County-In the general election
the returns as certified to by the
proper authorities give me the
Office of Treasurer by majority
of five votes and l am deeply
grateful to all, who voted for me
and appreciate their kindness very
much.
Ny opponent has deemed it ex-
pedient to serve notice of contest
on me and in so doing has seen fit
to question the honest inten tions
of all the judges and clerks of cleo
ii on and in addition to this charg-
es some twenty-eight citizens of
this County with fraudulent vot-
ing.
If l received more votes than
my opponent, and there is no
d oubt in my mind that l did, /
think / am entitled to the Office,
and l think every person mem
toned in my opponents petition
is innocent of fraudulent voting
and I shall endeavor to protect
them and as the issue has been
put up to me l shall contend for
my rights in clean gentlemanly
way.
THANK my many friends for
their kindness and help and / as
sur the Judges and Clerks OF
ele ction and the voters generally
that l have absolute faith in the
honesty of their Intentions and ]
as sure the people of Montgomery
Co unity that there is not a trace of
unkindly feelings in my heart
against my opponent, notwith-
sta anding the present condition.
Very truly yours,
I JOHN d. ULRICH.

Piece Of Valuable Carpet.

There is a small piece OF carpet in
the mint in San Francisco that good
many people would doubtless like to
get possession Of remarked r. H.
Smith of the California city.
''It is in the adjusting room. where
surplus gold is trimmed from the
coins after they have been stamped.
OF course these little trimmings often
drop on the floor and are imbedded in
the carpet, which is soon to be burned
in order that the precious filings may
be recovered. Sometimes after piece
of carpet like this has been burned
$4,000 worth of gold dust is taken
from the ashes. The sweepings from
the floor each day are carefully treas
ured."

Wheat Expected To Go To $40.

Wheat Expected To Go To $40.
More than 2O,OO0,O00 bushels of
wheat-said to be the largest
amount ever held by one firm--ie
now in the hands OF Bartlett,
Patton & Co. of Chicago. 1t is
said not to be a corner but merely
a colossal deal. In the opinion
OF the buyers the price OF wheat
will go to S1.36 or $40 because of
a com bination of circumstances
around the world, which no man
can control. The big speculation
is principally In May wheat.
Something extraordinary is go-
ing to happen.

COUNTERFEIT $40 BILLS.

BY far the most dangerous counter
felt 500 bill that has yet appeared in
Pueblo Ia series Of which one WAS
caught yesterday by the First Nation
al bank. The note is one Of the Buf
falo tens, with which the government
has had much trouble. owing to the
numerous counterfeits put in ciroula-
tion. The note which was captured
yesterday is almost good enough to
pass the eye of an expert. having but
few defects ,aud those of such minor
character that they would ordinarily
not be noticed in hssty glance, such
as most people give.
The note Is an exceedingly danger
ous one for merchants, as It 10 prob
ably among that class Of business
men they are being passed. The en-
craving has been done by an expert
of great ability and he has succeeded,
in making an unusually perfect copy
of the original. AS the engraving is
on close imitation of paper used by
the government or bleached one dollar
bills. the counterfeit cannot be de-
tected In this manner.
The treasury note caught yester-
day by the bank Is numbered A2596l3l.
The plate No. is 242. The colo. work
Is excellent. the seal and the big
number "X" being of different
shade of red as in the original notes.
This is feat seldom accomplished by
counterfeiters.
Practically the only defects are a
period between Washington and
I'D. O." where there should be a
comma, and somewhat noticeable
defect in the right eye Of the pic.
ture Of Clark. The engraving OF
Lewis is good and can hardly be dis
tinguished from the original.
The reverse side Of the bill has ne
defects that have been discovered ant

original. even the smallest details be
ing worked out with the utmost care
Government officers have been noti
fed and are expected to take the fielt
at once. On account OF the excellen
imitation 1t is very probable tina
many of the counterfeits already hav'
been worked of without anyone sus
pecting them and in fact, 1t Is no

lIFE's MISTAKES.
(By W. g. Jordon)

There are only two classes Of people
who never make mistakes-they are
the dead and the unborn, Mistakes
are the inevitable accompaniment Of
the greatest gift given to man-indi-
vidual freedom Of action. II he was
only pawn in the fingers of Omnipo-
tenoe. with no self moving power and
would never make mistake, but
would be degraded to the ranks Of the
lower animals and plants An oyster
never makes a mistake--it has not
the mind Let us be glad Of the priv
ilege Of making mistakes. glad Of the
wisdom that permits us to realize
them, glad Of the power that enables
us to turn their light. as glow of
illumination along the pathway of
our future.
Mistakes are the growing pains OF
wisdom, the assessments we pay on
our stock Of experience, the raw ma
terial Of error we can transform into
higher living Without them there
would be no growth. no progress, no
conquest. Mistakes are the knots,
the tangles, the broken threads, the
dropped stitches. in the web OF our
living. They are the misdeals In
judgment. the unwis. Investments In
morals, the profit and loss account OF
wisdom, the misleading bypaths from
the straight road of truth-and truth
is but the accuracy Of the soul. HUI
man fallibility. weakness, pettiness.
folly, and sin are all mistakes. They
are to be accepted as mortgages of er-
ror to be redeemed by wiser living,
never weakly taken AS justifying
bankruptcy of effort. Even great
mistake is only an episode never a
whole life.

A Plague That at Times Ma<ss Life

A Plague That at Times Makes Life
 unhearahls in Calcutta.
 One of the evils of Calcutta is the plague of green flies. from which the whole city suffers at certain times In the year. The happy hunting time of these minute insects is during the late autumn and early winter. They arc . serious nuisance both In and out of doors. They wing their way through all the open doors into the houses and into every room. making life unbear- able.
 Like most insects. the little green flies have a great affection for the flame. On occasion the inhabitants have found 1t necessary to put out all the gaslights. even at a public dinner, and to take their meals practically in deep gloom. illuminated only by flick, ering candles.
 Naturally 1t is not at all pleasant to go on eating with dense clouds of in- sects swarmlng overhead or. roasted to death. falling about one in paftering showers.
 They seem to spring into existence from nowhere. Perhaps It is almost dusk when the lights of the street lamps are becoming visible. Then suddenly the air. which moment be fore was quite clear. is full of myrlads of green flies. drifting in misty patches and obscuring the street lamps.
 Often the number of insects which have been scorched to death Is so great that little heaps of thep collect inside the lamps. while bucket loads have to be swept up from the roads next morn ing.--Lendon Answers
