VERY SINGULAR BANK NOTE
ONE SIDE TWICE AS MUCH AS
THE OTHER SIDE.
A Curious Piece of Money That Got
in Circulation and Caused
Much Confusion.

Much Confusion.
bank note that ever got in circula-
ton in this or any other country was
a misprint that escaped the vigilance
of Uncle Sans inspectors in the bu-
reau of engraving and printing. It's
face value was $50. It's other value
well, it was enough different to
cause no end of trouble before the
mystery of this national bank bill was
at last unraveled.
The manner of it's discovery was
odd. A clerk in q western hotel in
making up his accounts one day
fOuEd & discrepancy he could not ex-
plain. He placed the pile of bills at
his left hand, and as he counted each
one turned the note over and deposit
ed it at pile at his right. He
found that when he counted from
left to right his cash balanced ex-
actly, but when he counted it back
again shortage of $50 was shown.
He consumed two hours in vain en-
deavor to find out what was the mat
ter, and finally was obliged to call
on the manager for assistance.
The manager himself had no bet
ter success. Again and again he
counted the bills, always with the
same result-one time the cash bal
anced and the next the shortage was
developed. Finally each bill was eX-
amined separately, both diverse and
reverse, whereupOn the mystified
men discovered the cause of their
trouble. One of the bills had the
design of $50 on the diverse and that
of 500 on the reverse. 1t further
appeared that the clerk had received
the bill as 800.
On investigation it was found that
the treasury department had a rec
ord of the bill. 1t was discovered in
1890 that one sheet of bank notes
printed for national bank of Kan
sas City had been reversed in the
press. One plate bore the diverse
of $50 bill at the top and the OBJ
verse in the 500 bill at the bottom.
The other plate bore the reverse OF
the two notes. After each had been
/ printed it was laid aside to dry be-
| fore being run through for the OBJ
verse printing. In some way the
pressman had turned one sheet up.

misprinted bills came forth-one
with $50 diverse and 500 reverse
the other with a 800 diverse and {

systematic Campaign Is Begun, and
Illustrated Circulars Will Be

systematic campaign against the
ravages of the common house fly has
heen started early this year by the
state board of health, and illustrated
circulars will be spread by the thou
sands broadcast over the state
"From Flies and Filth to Food and
Fever" is the startling caption of
this circular.
The circulars are being sent out
nv mail and express, and circulation
will be secured through the public
schools of the state. The housewife
is urged to keep flies out of the
house, not to permit them near food
-esDecially milk-not to buy food
stuffs where flies are tolerated, not
to eat where flies have access to the
food.
The public's attention is brought to
the fact that flies are the most dan
gerous insects known to man; that
they are the filthiest of vermin; are
born in filth, live on filth and carry
filth around with them; they are
known to be carriers of millions of
death-dealing disease germs, and
they leave some of these germs
wherever they alight.
The circular urges everybody to
screen all windows and doors before
fly time. Two teaspoons of formalde-
hyde to a pint of water in shallow
dishes, or one dram of bichromate of
potash dissolved in two ounces of
water and sweetened with sugar are

powder burned in rooms will clear
the house quickly of flies. Powdered
black flag blown into the air will
cause flies to fall to the floor, where
they may be gathered up and de-
strOyed.
To eliminate the breeding places
of flies the circular suggests several
simple remedies. Sprinkle chloride
of lime on kerosene over garbage
boxes or places where flies gather.
Keep garbage boxes and receptacles
tightly covered, clean the cans every
day, boxes every week. Keep ground
around garbage boxes clean. Sprinkle
the lime over manure piles, old pa

TO LAST THIRTY DAYS
APPEAL is MADE TO LABoRlNG
MASSES OF COLORADO TO
AID PROTEST.

Denver.-In proclamation issued
Tuesday the Colorado State Fedora

labor body in the state. urges organ
ized labor to join at once in the boy
colt on the food trust by abstaining
from the use of meat "as much as POS
sible" during the next thirty days. The
proclamation says:
January %, 1910.
"To the Laboring Masses of the
State of Colorado-In order that the
boycott now declared against the meat

country shall be more complete and ef-
fective. we. the officers of the Colo
rado State Federation of Labor, re-
quest the laboring masses of this state
to abstain as much as possible from
using meat for the next thirty days,
believing this to be the most eftec-
tive method of lowering the high cost
of living, which has increased from
ten TO $50 per cent in the last few
years, and is working untold hardship
on the working class of this nation.
Legislative enactments having
proven Intellectual in curbing the greed
of the trust magnates, we should now
seize this opportunity to demonstrate
the force OF this emphatic protest OF
the people.

The proclamation was issued by
President McLennan and Secretary
Hickey, after consultation with the di-
rectors of the federation. 1t is direct
ed not only to the great number oil
unions affiliated with the organiza-
ton, but to the "laboring masses of
the state" which means that it will
appeal directly to not less than 1Oo,-
900 men and women and their families.
1t is estimated that at least 100000
people will join in the movement.
The announcement of the action OF
the federation was sent to every city
and town in the state, with the re-
quest that it should made public as
rapidly as possible through the press
and at all union meetings. In the mean
time copies of the proclamation have
been sent to central organizations all
over the state. to the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners and to the railroad or
ganizations and other large labor un-
ions now affiliated with the fedora
tion.
1t is expected that the local unions
all over the state will take up the mat
ter as rapidly as the news of the act
ion of the federation reaches them,
and before the end of the week the un-
ion forces throughout the state VIII
be thoroughly organized in the fight
against the food trust
The machinists' union, one of the
largest locals in Denver, having
membership of 600, has already voted
to abstain from the use of meat for
sixty days.
