WARMING SENT OUT
AGAINST BOGUS BILLS

Look closely at your 81 bills. There
is a new counterfeit one "simoleon"
silver certificate in circulation that
will deceive anyone except a special
ist. If any periods are missing on
bills, don't secept them.
The new Bill made its appearance a
week ago in Chicago The imitation
lis so cleverly worked out that the
secret service department considers
it a dangerous bill
Edward ]. McHugh of the secret SER
vice department was in the city today
with one of the counterfeits. He is
eager that the public be warned
against accepting the bogus bills.
The counterfeit is supposed to be
one of the series of 1S99-check letter
&C.; face plate number 4SO1; back
plate number 25sS. It has the sigma
ture of w. 7. Vernon. register of the
treasury; Charles H. Treat, treasurer

of the United States. and portraits Of
Lincoln and Grant. It is numbered
R927S6452. The counterfeit appar.
entity is printed from retouched photo
mechanical plates on good quality bond
paper, with ink lines to initiate the
silk fiber.
A careful inspection Of the counter
felt shows that the portraits of Lin
coin and Grant are poor A white
patch represents Grants nose. The
periods after Treat, over the q" in
United" under the treasurer's sigma
ture. after the ct" and after Vernon"
in the signature of the register are
omitted in the bogus certificate. The
small word United in the border of
the note to the right of Grants por-
trait is spelled "Usited."
c. A. Altemus, assistant cashier of
the Chicago City Railroad company,
discovered the counterfeit and advised
the secret service department.

.ALLUWE MAN WRITES
OF EARLY DAYS HERE

Alluwe, Okla, Jan. 4-Editor 4 of the
Chieftain, dear sir: read a special
in the Chieftain Of December 31st, that
hogs brought the unusual price OF
1851, on the market in Kansas City
This put me in mind Of a trip made
to Vinita with load Of dressed hogs
way back in the eighties
Johnson Thompson conducted a
large store in the old rock building,
east of the Katy tracks. buying dress
cd hogs, paying in merchandise. About
the time got there he was full stock
ed and could handle no more.
So went to Arch Goodykoontz, who
had little store on the west side, but
he couldn't buy so went to the Katy
agent to sell. his reply was, l would
like to buy a pig but the weather in
this country is SO changeable I am
afraid to take the chance.
Well, all | could do was to take my
hogs back home, minus the goods
needed, and salt them down. This was
a trip of twenty miles, two days on
the road, bitter cold, hogs froze stifi
that | couldn't sell for three dollars
per hundred What a change!
Yours very truly

THE REPUBLICANS AND THE
THIRD DISTRICT.
vinita, Okla.

It is being 'noised around" that the
independent republicans those who
belong to the party for principle only"
are going to bring out candidate
against Creager in the Third district.
The saints in the party are talking
on the street corners and In the hotel
lobbies about what they are going to
do to the corpus" of the present mem
Der.
But it will end, as all such revolu-
tions end, in sound and fury signifying
nothing.
We devoutly wish that Creager
might be defeated. He is as much out
of place in congress as turtle on a
monument. There could be no greater
joke than to watch this insignificant
individual posing as the representative
of the most opulent and one of the
most populous districts in a state
which boasts OF. its progressive citi-
zenship But the defeat of Creager is
not going to come from the ranks of
the republicans. The only hope for
the redemption of this district is the
democratic party and the democratic
party will have a candidate who will
fitly and worthily represent all of the
interests in the distriet.-Tulsa Demo
crat.

from Logotheti.
She read the newspaper cutting

something fiattering about herself, for
she had been little short OF public

not burst into tears. That was All.
and there were barely fiye-and-twenty
lines Of small print.
But the prima donna bit her hand.
some lip and her eyes sparkled with
anger. a. she put the cutting back
into the drst envelope. and took the
folded letter out Of the other. The

1t was not so easy. A Tartar girl

her friend Lady Maud she would still
be their victim. Her heart went on,
to the woman who had saved her
from her fate. and with the though,
came the impulse to send message
OF gratitude; and the first fury OF her
anger subsidized with the impulse to dc
so. BY and by 1t would cool and har.

not soften again.
Her hand still shook so that she
could hardly hold the pen steady
while she wrote the telegram.
