FOUND MANY BOGUS COINS.
Counterfeit Money Believed to Have
Been Made in CherryvaIe.

Cherryvale, Kan, July 15.-There
are more developments in the coun-
terfeit case. It has been learned that
some time last fall a quantity of
counterfeit quarters, half dollars and
dollars, amounting to about $50 had
been found by local parties in the
basement of the Mahan building.
They were cleaning out the basement
for the skating rink and to avoid no
toriety, it is said, threw the spurious
coins into a corner with some rub
bish and said nothing about them.
However, after the discovery in the
attic of the building today by Lee
Hitchcock, Marshal Watson was told
of the other find and made an inves-
tigation. He found the queer" mon
ey and also more moulds, and it is
quite evident that there has in times
past been considerable crooked work
done in the basement.

contractors in the country, with a
force of over 700 men. working day

done under the illumination of cleo
trio headlights. The company has
seven engines and six steam shovels
already at work on the job, and it
company to have the cutoff finished
by the end of September. The line
between Falls and Luther at pres
ent runs along the low land near the
river, but the cutoff runs over the
hills distance of twelve miles, and
above the danger line.
The Katy has appropriated more
than a million dollars for improve
ment of the track and other better
ment in Oklahoma, and when this
has been done, she will have one of
the finest roadbeds in the new state
and with the withdrawal of the
make an improvement on the already
good record in freight traffic. while

The next day Strauser was driving

TO VOTE ON LIGHT BONDS.
Mayor of CarbondaIe Issues Call for
Election August %.

Carbonate, Kan. July 15.-Mayor
]. M. Patterson has issued call for
a special election to vote $4,000 bonds
for an electric light plant. The cleo
ton is to be held August %. The city
council passed an ordinance Tuesday
night authorizing the election. The
bonds are to bear not more than 6
per cent and be payable in not less
than ten nor more than twenty years.
The Commercial club started the
electric light project several weeks ago

PAY CHECKS WILL BE MORE.
lola SmeItermen to Get an Increase of
10 Per Cent

=
lola, Kan. July 15.-Beginning Fri
day, the sixteenth day of the present
month, the new wage scale begins in
the smelters of this district, In accord
ance with the agreement made some
time ago between the smeIter operators
and the workmen. 1t was agreed at the
time the strike was settled that the
old wage scale should be restored the
latter half of this month for the future,
II the men would return to work.
The raise asked and granted was ten
per cent. which is a restoration of the
wages paid before the panic of 1907.
AT that time the operators stated their
case to the men and the men, appre-
chatting the crisis, accepted the cut
cheerfully. While the spelter market
has not yet attained the point the oper-
ators would like to see, being now
quoted at $5.25 in St Louis, they will
increase the pay. It is hoped that be-
fore fall the price of spelter will have
climbed high enough to bring about a
full time operation of the plants in this
country.
