John. He now became dazed With
fear and settlement He left the home
OF his boyhofed on foot and made his
way to philadelphia, where he CHANGED
to mees his stef.father who was
member of a gang of counterfeiters-
John was easily persuaded and he suf-
fered himself to be led along step by
step until he was deep in the mire-
Our Civil war had brought a great
change in the finances OF the country
Wild cat banks had gone out of ex-
istence and new kind OF money was
in use There was a great deal OF
counterfeiting going on and John
Hartz was one of the number engaged
in it Like the most OF the men OF
his stamp he was unsuccessful in ac-
cumulating wealth
A counterfeit beer stamp made
it's appearance in Philadelphia and I
found it necessary to visit that city
The night was dark and stormy and
1t was about the portentous hour OF
100 a. m, when ghosts are said to
stalk abroad in CHASTITY white array,
that four detectives left their comfort
able quarters in the hotel with the ex-
pectation of making an important
arrest. The man they sought was in
visible during the day time and diff
ficult man to encounter 1T night. He
had frequently been heard of but had
seldom been seen by the government
detectives. When the officers reached
the appointed place they scattered
and took up their positions where they
would attract as little attention as
possible. Their mysterious mission
had been fully explained; deal was
expected to be pulled Off One of the
detectives was rotund of person. He
had, through one of the counterfeiting
gang been introduced as a beer deal
er who said he was willing to take his
chances with bogus stamps, and he
had bargained with one of the coun-
terfeiters for five thousand counter
felt lager beer stamps, and was to
receive them at a certain hour at a
designated place
When the man put in an appear
ance to make the delivery he was to
be arrested. This individual, owing to
the darkness of the night, was unable
to see the detectives stationed about
and he walked with his carpet bag in

On a given signal the detectives

Senator Lafayette Young, Of Iowa, to-
day told the senate about the success
OF the commission plan of govern
ment as employed for the past three
years In his home city Of Des Moines,
and advised other municipalities to
adopt 1t in the interest Of efficiency. !.

said he, ''but we have secured more

Asserting that there is entirely too
much machinery In the old type OF
city government and far more offices
than the service demands, Mr. Young
told how Des Moines had adopted the
plan Of placing its affairs in the hands
of five commissioners with generally
gratifying results The commissioners
are all elected at the same time, and
to them is entrusted the duty OF
selecting all other city officials. Each
member of the commission repr esents

Some time last night one climbed the

MISTREAT VETERANS
Three q. A. r. Delegates Driven From
Georgia Town by Mob at an Early
Hour.

Fitzgerald, Ca, AYrl' 1o.-Between
1 ard 2 o'clock Sunday morning, 100
men and boys went to a hotel where
there were three colored delegates,
who were attending the annual en-
campment Of the G. A. R., department
OF the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida,
dragged the negro delegates from their
beds. forced them to dress, and carried
them into the street.
After whipping the negroes and cut
ting the G. A. r. buttons from their
coats, the mob ordered them to leave
town at once. The negroes left. !.
The mob then proceeded to the resi-
dence Of Mr.. Nelson, past commander
Of the department, and manhandled the
veteran, striking him several times,
shots being fired during the fight.
The police declare the attack was
the work Of irresponsible people, and
was matter OF personal spite, as the
same negroes have been in attendance
at other encampments and no disturb
ance was made.

Little Likelihood of Electing
Senator at Present Ses-

[BY w; H. POWELL

Des Moines, April 1O.-(special)- -
With only three more joint ballots
on the senatorship possible, and with
the opposing forces deadlocked as
firmly as they ever were, there Is lit
tie opportunity for an election at the
present legislative session, and that
means that the field will be left open
for q big fight In the primaries next
year. !,
There are those Kenyon men, most
of them-who opine that IL Judge
Deemer should withdraw from the
race. Kenyon could be elected. But
that is hardly probable, in view OF the g
staunch stand the standpatters nave
made throughout the session, with its
tedious round Of futile ballots. Should
Deemer withdraw, Kenyon would re-
ceive some Of the votes that are now
being cast for him, but is not probable
that they would be numerous enough
to elect. And then, there is another
feature Deemer's apparent IN
tention to remain in the race until the
flag is dropped and the legislature ad-
journs sine die.

the choice Of the republicans in their
primary. Lafayette Young is already
planning his campaign and anyone who
defeats him will fnd it necessary to
"get up early" terribly early. Mr..
Young announced recently that he has
so arranged his newspaper business
affairs that he will be able to take the
stump for a speaking campaign that
will take him all over the state before
the primaries are held.
He will pay particular attention to
the northern counties, where few
papers of the standpat description are
extant. Uncle GEORGE" Perkins and
his Journal are still on the Job, but
aside from them the standpat editors
and papers in the northern section OF
Iowa can be counted mighty easily.
But Mr.. Young is a good speaker, as
one must be to make standpat speech
interesting to an audience of progress
sives. He is determined to SOW the
seed OF standpatism among the pro-
gressiyes, regardless of the fact that
the northern Iowa papers are anti
standpat, and he will give up his en-
tire time for months to the work.

munity by appearing for the state.

the $1,000 was gift and that 1t had
no bearing on the Lorimer election.

when the Helm committee investiga-
ton of the Lorffner election by the
Illinois legislature Is attracting at

sumo Thursday. A statement was
given out Sunday that every member

that he had told all he knew and did
not want to be questioned again.
He was 81 years old. A widow and
two daughters survive him.
