TRACING CoUNTERFEITs.
Exciting Employment For Skilled Sc
cret Service Men.

cret Service Men.
The tracing of counterfeit bills back
to the persons responsible for their is
sue is a curious and exciting employ
ment. The expert assigned by the
government to this work are among
the most skillful members of the Sc
cret service. The protection Of the
currency depends in large measure up
on their efficiency, and the pains they
take are almost infinite. The follow
ing case is one illustrating the diff
culties which the secret service people
meet and overcome:
bank clerk In Cleveland had de-
tected a counterfeit twenty dollar bill
in the deposit of small retail grocer.
An expert was sent for and under
took the case.
He found that the grocer had re-
ceived the bill from a shoe dealer, who
had 1t from dentist, who had it from
somebody else. and so on, until the
secret service man finally traced the
bad note to an invalid woman who
had used 1T to pay her physician.
When questioned this woman said that
the money had been sent her by her
brother. who lived in New Orleans.
The sleuth looked up the brothers
antecedents and soon became con-
WINGED that he was the man wanted.
The brother. however. soon proved to
the satisfaction of the secret service
man that his suspicious were unbound
ed. Indeed. 1t appeared that the mon
ey had been received by the New Or
leans man in part payment for rent
of house he owned in Pittsburg.
While the sleuth was a bit discour-
aged. he couldn't give over the case
when he had gone so far. so he took
the next train for Pittsburg.
The tenant of the house in Pitts.
burg proved to be a travelling oculist
who spent most of his time in the mid
die west. The secret service man had
the good luck. however, to catch him
just as he had returned from trip,
and the man at once recognized the
bad bill as one that had been given
him by a patient In Cleveland, the
very point whence the sleuth started.
The patient was boss carpenter,
The secret service man got his address
from the oculist and went right after
the new clew. At this point he had
premonition that something was going
to happen. and he wasn't disappointed.
The carpenter. an honest old fellow,
said that he had received the bill from
a certain Parker. The said Parker
was the small grocer in whose bank
deposit the counterfeit had turned up.
The expert few to the grocer's as
quickly as a cab could take him and
found it closed. He had left town.
Afterward it was shown beyond
question that the grocer was the agent
of an organized band Of counterfeiters.
His shop was a mere blind. That the
bill which he gave the carpenter
should get back into his own funds
after travelling all over the continent
was one of those miracles of chance
for which there is no explanation

A VOICE FROM IOWA.

That despicable and silent minority
of uninsurgent republicans within the
confines of Iowa found voice in the SEN
ate yesterday when the Hon. Lafayette
Young took advantage of a brief interim
appointment to express some thoughts.
Senatsr Young cheerlully and boldly
joined issue with his colleague Senator
Cummins, and Justify opposed piecemeal
or any other kind of tariff revision.
Why'd Because if a revision, schedule
were permitted by the rules he greatly
feared that the products of his constit-
uents, to-wit, farm produce would be
the first and only things to be taken
without the protecting wall builded by
Messrs. Payne and Aldrich. Referring
incidentally to the fact that his state
alone in the union had declined in pop
ulation in the last decade, Senator
Young said:
While we have lost 1000 persons, it
is not within our knowledge that we
have lost a single one of our politicians.
They are with us yet, and as busy as
formerly, telling how the Iowa hog can
be sold for $40 per hundred and New
England can have hog meat for &c per
pound. Some of our people are willing
to continue the partnership with Massa-
chusetts, and others are not. If any
man were to make a campaign for gov
ernor of Iowa, promising to take the
duty off food products, or even promis-
ing the free admission of farm products
from Canada, he would he defeated by
100000 majority, unless someone moved
to make it unanimous for his defeat.
All of which pleasantly goes to prove
the unquestionable truth that the way
of the tariff reformer is and ever will be
hard, Notwithstanding such comforting
devices as investigating commissions
and piecemeal revisions. All the same,
it is interesting to reflect that the Junior
and temporary senator from Iowa con-
veniently ignored the fact that his
party, regulars and insurgents alike,
stands committed to protective policy
for American labor, and that if our leg
islators properly. protect the Iowa farm
er in his present standard of life and
automobiles, the plutocrats of the prai-
RE will have scant cause to complain.
Piecemeal free trade is we gladly con-
cede, open to the line of criticism put
forward by the speaker. But hardly
piecemeal reduction on protective
basis. New York Sun.

Interest In Ancient Days.

AS a. rule, the ancients frowned upon
the idea of interest. They called it
usury, and. except in the case OF
wardships and trusts, when the law
insisted upon money being usefully in
vested they looked upon the man who
lived by investments as a bad char
acter and his trade as a ,disreputable
one. Even Aristotle, most advanced
thinker in many respects. talked most
energetically against money. calling it
a barren thing, which could produce
nothing without violating nature" 1t
was not until the crusades that the
money lender had any standing or re-
spectability in Europe.-New York

JESSE NEITZEL AND
GODFREY DREHER JR.
Arrested Upon Charge Of Breaking
And Entering George Textor's
Store Up At Viola Center,

This community was very much sur
prised and shocked last Saturday to
hear that two of its well known young
men who were born and reared in this
county and the sons of highly respected
families had been arrested for breaking
and entering the store up at Viola
Center. as near as we can get the
facts George Texter's store was entered
some time Tuesday night, December 20
and variety of merchandise including
peanuts, candies, lemons, cigars,
tobacco, rubbers, mittens and muslin,
to the amount of about $685. was taken.
After an investigation by Sheriff Crees
and Deputy Ferguson a search warrant
was issued and Saturday morning they
went to the home, of NeitZel where they
found much of the stuff that was miss
ing. He was brought to town and in
formation filed against him as stated
above. His brother-in-law. Godfrey
Dreher, Jr., was down near Massena
with his wife visiting her people but
the Sheriff went after him and brought
him to Audubon reaching here about
10 o'clock Saturday night. Godfrey
,Dreher, Sr., signed bonds in the sum
of $500 each for their appearance be-
fore the grand jury at the February
term and they were released. Jesse
returned home and Godfrey went back

Sunday travelling.

Old time acts of parliament in Great
Britain aimed to stop Sunday travel
ing. In 1869. for example, two men
were found guilty of the crime Of
walking from Bristol to Bath on a
Sunday and were at once fined 20 shil-
lings t$4.SO each. All business was at
a standstill on a Sunday. Nothing
was allowed to be sold except milk.
For all the traders Of England the
milkman, and the milkman alone, was
allowed to pursue his calling for the
whole seven days of the week.

COAT FROM SILK REMNANT.
Garment Much Favored In Paria
Should Receive Favor OF
American Women.

Long, to cover entirely the frock be-;
meath, or quantity short and forming
a part OF the gown with which they
are worn, the summer coats OF silk
are crying for the American woman's
favor They have enjoyed the sane
ton of the French for several weeks,
and are being exploited here with
much promise of successful adoption.
The silk jacket built on eton lines Is
approved by designers over here. The
Russian "coatees," with peplums and
ornamental belts, and the picturesque
directoire models, with big, soft revers
or shoulder capes, are also making
progress in the fashionable field. Lit
tie, wraps of soft fringed silk, that are
enlarged scarfs, SO to speak, are also
approved of by our importers.
Black satin coats trimmed with gold
or silver cords hint of the days Of
Louis XIV, while silk wraps that re-
fleet oriental splendor in the Japanese
colorings and lines are the favorites
for evening.
So If you have silk remnant that
Is puzzling you, just make it into a
summer coat, and you will be In line
with Paris and ahead Of many Ameri-
cans.
