Forged a Check.

On Monday of this week, a stranger
walked into the hardware store of Mr..
j. a. Greever and asked the manage
ment to cash a check for him. Suspect
ing the check forgery his request was
not complied with and he left the store.
Mr.. John D. Daley, whose name was
signed to the check, was at once called
over the phone and pronounced the same
a.forgery. Several parties then started
to look for the check artist, who, at that
time was endeavoring to obtain the
money on his worthless paper from Har-
risson, Barns & Co. Realizing that ne
was about to be detected, the strange
quietly slipped through the door and
made a bee-line for the hills, with sew
eral persons in hot pursuit, but he out
distanced them all and escaped. Had
not his attempted disguise been so poor
ly executed, it is possible that he might
have obtained the money on the check.
But his false mustache was very in
ferior and aroused the suspicious of
those whom he endeavored to bunco.

provided the Ia, 900 blue jackets and 600
officers on this world-girdling cruise.
The successful completion of the cruise
without noteworth accident or untoward
incident, from either a naval or political
point Of view, is regarded by all nations
as history making. Never before has
any battle command made such long
and practically continuous voyage. New
er before has any feet circumnavigated
the globe, whether in one or separate
voyages. Never before has any armada
of any of the countries of the world Wis
tied so many ports, at such great dis
tances, in SO many countries. And
never was any naval command received
with such universal manifestations of
friendly feeling as marked the progress
of the American feet at every one of
its twoscore stops on the cruise around
the world.
Tonight the monster war-dogs are
tugging lazily at their chains on the
spot they started from fourteen months
ago, seemingly well content to receive
the plaudits of the nation for their re-
cord breaking girdling of the globe.
All of the ships will remain here for a
week, and at least one-half of the
twenty-five vessels in the roadstead will
remain until after the Inauguration.

FIRE DESTROYS
JOURNAL OFFICE
Richmond Afternoon Newspaper is
Burned 0ut-EStimated Damage
$4,000.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 23.-In an early
morning fire the entire plant of the
Richmond Evening Journal was de-
stroyed. Linotype machines, type and
presses were rendered into a chaotic
mass. The loss is estimated at $50, 900,
said to be covered by insurance. Those
in authority are not in position to ssy
what policy will be pursued as to the
future. 1t is expected that the dam
aged building will be rebuilt.
The paper this afternoon was turned
out on the presses of the Times-Dis-
patch, and will probably continue to be
printed in this plant until temporary
quarters have been secured. The
heaviest losers will be A. r. HolderbS
and N. B. Cook.
The fire was discovered an hour be
fore day. Flames were then breaking
through the roof of the doomed building
in the rear. 1t was early seen that th'
Journal building could not be saved
The department, therefore, confined it
attention to checking the spread OF tn
flames to contiguous property. A fam
lily occupying fiat above the adjoining
building WAS nearly suffocated by tn,
smoke.
1t required nine engines to sut,due IL,
| flames.

AN IDEAL SUNDAY NEWSPAPER

Recent issues of the Sunday Record
Herald remind one that Chicago may
fairly lay claim to producing the best
newspapers in the world, not except
ing those of New York. The Sunday
Record-Herald in foreign news alone,
has it's own special cable service in
addition to those Of the New York
Herald, World, Journal of Commerce
and Associated Press. This is a
fair example of the completeness of
the paper in every department.
Aside from the regular news fea-
lures, there is something in the SUM-
day Record-Herald for every member
of the family. The special articles
by William E. Curtis and Walter Well
man are always interesting. The
sporting section offers four whole
pages of fresh and authentic ews in
every line of sport. The woman's Sec
ton is filled with illustrated articles
on the latest wrinkles in fashion and
domestic science, with Marion Har-
land and Nine. Qui Vive as regular
contributors, and Dame Curtsey's
Novelties in Entertainment" as a val
ued feature. The dramatic page, writ
ten by James O'Donnell Bennett, is
admittedly without an equal in the
west. The array of splendid special
articles by skilled writer's, finely il
Illustrated, also is typical of the high
literary quality of the Record-Herald.
In the way of humor there is the
comic colored supplement for children,
besides Richard H. Titles laughable
articles for adults and S. e. Kiser's
delightful Alternating Currents for
everybody.
But the thing that lifts the Sunday
Record-Herald most emphatically
above all it's rivals it it's magazine Sec
ton. There is nothing else that can
touch this in American journalism.
The Sunday magazine of the Record
Herald is a real magazine, full of
stories and articles by the most FAM
Gus writer's Of our day, illustrated by
celebrated artists. In quality and
beauty it compares favorably with the
best monthlies. No wonder the Re-
cord-Herald is regarded as an ideal
Sunday newspaper!

QUARANTINE DISEASED SHEEP

Owing to the presence of an infect
ious disease known as lip and leg di-
sease or necrobacillosis of sheep, the
Secretary Of Agriculture has ordered
a quarantine. effective August IL. on
the counties of Fremont, Natrona, Con
verse, Weston, Crooks, Sheridan, John
son and Big Horn in the state of
Wyoming. Sheep affected with this
disease will under no conditions be
allowed to move interstate from the
quarantine area. Sheep that have
been exposed may be removed for
stocking or feeding purposes after one
dipping under government supervision,
or they may be shipped interstate for
immediate slaughter without dipping,
under certain restrictions. Healthy
sheep that have not been exposed may
be moved interstate from the quaran-
tine area when accompanied by a certi
ficate of inspection issued by an in
spector Of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry.
Lip and leg disease is caused by a
germ known as the necrosis bacillus,
and is marked by an Lucrative con-
dition of the legs, muzzles and lips.
Other parts may be likewise affected.
Sheds, feed lots, corrals or pastures
become infected with the germ, which
enter the tissues when the mouth or
leg is injured by briars stubble, rough
forage, ETC., and set up disease.
Treatment of this disease is very
satisfactory if begun in time and APP
piled energetically. 1t should not be
deferred, as better results will be
obtained attacking the outbreak as
as discovered than can be ex-
pected if the disease is permitted to
among the band and penetrate
deeper into the tissues of the affected
parts. One Of the first steps to be
in the treatment is to separate |
all the sheep that are in any degree
diseased from those that, are healthy. |
Large flocks should be dipped in one
Of the cresol or coal tar creosote dips
permitted by the Department of Agri-
for the official dipping of
sheep, the dip being used at a strength
one-fourth greater than in dipping
sheep for scabbies. When only a few
animals are to be treated the same
may be used as a local APP
plication.
Full information regarding the con-
ditions of the Quarantine and detail
Of treatment may be obtained free by
Animal Industry, Washington. d. G.

HUNTING HOBOES.

The citizens of L%esterville in the
southern part of the state have a new
diversion, which will occupy their at
tention until the ducks begin to fly.
The new sport is hobo hunt ng. One
day last week about forty tramps had
gathered in that town and the citizens
paid little or no attention to them until
they robbed several stores of small ar
ticles. The commercial club at last
called a meeting and after much dis
cussion as to arresting, bread and
water diet, etc., it was finally decided
to arm every legal voter in the pre-
cinct with heavy clubs and start a
hunt for the hoboes and drive them
out. AS soon as the word could be
passed abound the forces were marshal
led together and a forward movement
commanded all along the line. The
tramps needed little or no explanation
as to what was meant and almost be-
fore the hunt began were on the dead
run LOT Snelter II the corn neldS sur
rounding the town. So enthusiastic
were the hunters and so exciting was
the sport that it was carried well into
the country and coin and grain fields
nearby were well searched for their
human quarry and by nightfall there
were no hoboes within miles of Lester
vile. The hunt has been so success
full that it has been decided to repeat
1T twice a week during the season or
until all tramps have learned to give
the town a wide berth.
AT Utica tire are more than ninety
tramps in town but the hunt method
is not practical as the male inhabitants
OF the town are too few in number to
carry on such a warfare.
