with an untiring patience they work
sometimes for several days on one BILL
but when it is fully identified their re-

Gus. Mrs. Brown can give many ex-
amples that have come to her knowl-
edge that are very interesting.
She tells an interesting incident of
a man in one of the southern states,
who had lost confid ence in banks, and
buried $4,000 in bills in a tin pail.
After several years he dug it up, but
found that the pail had rusted and
the cover had become separated from
the pail, and he could find nothing
that looked like money; but at last he
found a hard lump resembling clay.
He concluded that it must be his treas
ure, so he sent it to Washington, and
after several days of careful work
they identified and secured for him
$9,975.
Another incident that came under
her observation was that of a sailor
who did his banking with leather
belt that he wore constantly around
his body When he drew his pay he
opened the belt and deposited therein
what he did not want to use. When
he wanted more money than he had
with him, he opened 1t and TOOK some
out, but kept no record of either
transaction After some years he quit
the sea and concluded to take his
money and go into business. When he
opened his belt, to his dismay, he
found that the heat and moisture from
his body had so decomposed his bills
that it was impossible for him to sep
arate them or to tell anything about
how much he had. So, feeling sure
that he would be perfectly safe to say
there was 5000, he sent it on to this
department stating that there was
that amount, but after careful inves-
tigation they got out for him $3.50
much to his delight
The amount paid on this mutilated
currency is restricted, so that over
payment is impossible. If three-fifths
of a note is received, 1t is redeemable
at its face value. If less than three
ffths and more than two-fifths, at half
its value, but affidavit must be made
that the rest is destroyed, and the
character of the person must be
vouched for by reputable parties. No
currency is redeemed unless some part
of 1t is sent into the treasury. Ours
is the only government that thus re-
deems it's moneys.

Big Increase in Crime.

Criminal statistics, compiled by Sec
rotary of State Koenig from the rec
ords of county clerks throughout the
state for submission to the legislature,
show an increase during 1908 of 1922
convictions for crimes over the figures
for the preceding year. The number
in 1908 was 1854, as against $500 in
1907. During the same period there
has been a noticeable falling off in ar
rests and convictions for intoxication.
In 1907 1S,476 persons were sent to
prison for drunkenness. Last year
17,779 were imprisoned for that Of
Tense.
There were 1,775 convictions for
burglary and 1 ,439 for larceny in the
entire state last year. This is 604 more
burglaries and 81 more larceny convic-
lions than the year before. Secretary
Koenig blames 1t on the hard times.
OF the total number of burglaries us
were reported from New York, PA
from Brooklyn, and 222 from Erie
county. Erie county shows LBS
women convicted of crime, New York
comes next with $50, Monroe reports
300, and Kings county (Brooklyn)
only 233.
Nearly all trades and professions,
from actor to wrestler, are represented
in the convictions. The reports show
that II actors and 2 actresses were
convicted.-Albany dispatch to New
York Times.

FILLS A GROWING NEED

Topeka is not only on the verge of a
building boom, this summer. in COM
mercial way. but is rapidly growing
and expanding her manufacturing and
Industrial interests as well. Much &C
tivity along these lines is being shown
nearly every day, by some new concern
or other. Hardly a day passes that
mercial club, asking information and
assistance IN regard to sites, buildings,
etc. However, such interest is not I'M
deserved, for, as the new city directory
Topeka to be a city of actually SO, 900
people, the new buildings, factories and
homes must necessarily follow.
One of the fastest growing and thriv-
fng concerns of the city today, is one
which has been built from the ground
up and which is assuming broader pro-
portions every day. 1t is the Central
Cycle and Supply company at 716 Kan
sas avenue. The present quarters,
which are really very much too small,
are about 12x150 feet. 1t has developed
today that Mr.. d. B. Simpson, the pro-
an extensive scale, in the very near fu-
ture.
AS 1t is, however, there is probably
no larger business in matter of volume,
of this nature in the state. The repair
department does every class of work
pertaining to bicycle and motorcycle
repairing Almost every stage of con-
present facilities Rubber tires can be
in such a way, as to viz
tually make new tires of them. Nothing
is lacking to make the concern com
plete. Topeka should watch with inter-
est the development of what is in real
ity bicycle and motor cycle factory
within our very gates.
