Bogus Coins Discovered.

Mount Vernon, ILL.,, March 81
Southern Illinois is being flooded with
spurious coin of 5O-cent and 81 de.
nominations, and Thomas l. Porter OF
the Secret-Service Department OF
Chicago, has arrested Jack MCGOWAN
and Bob Burkett of Gainesville as
suspects.
MCGOWAN, through a chain of pc.
culiar circumstances, was liberated.
He told the officers he would tell of
the counterfeiting plot and others con-
nected with the deal if they would
free him. This was done and he
never came back.
The counterfeit money first made
its appearance when Burkett, one of
the suspects, borrowed some money
from an acquaintance. This acquaint-
ance got in trouble and was being
taken to Jail, when Burkett followed
him and paid him s. Of the $3.50 he
had borrowed. The money consisted
of two$1 coins and two 5O-cent pieces.
The money was taken charge Of by
the officers, and as it looked too new
for money dated 1883 and 1885 they
became suspicious, and after it was
examined it was found to be counter
felt.

JUDGE GRAVES A FARMER
Jurist Turns From Judicial Worries to
Garden Truck.

jefferson City, NO., April2. judy
w. w. Graves of the Supreme Cour
has turned farmer.
Judge Graves not only ownsa SINAI
farm about mile and one-half south
east of this city, but lives upon it, ant
intends to remain there as long as HI
is Judge of the Supreme Court, ant
he has more than seven years to serve
upon the bench.
What is more interesting, Judge
Graves does not farm altogether by
proxy, as in the case of Governor
Hadley. Every morning and evening
except Sundays, when the weather is
favorable, one may see the Judge,
dressed in farmer style, working far
more industriously than the average
hired man.
Last year the Judge gardened ex-
tensively, but within the limits Of
jefferson City. He felt cramped for
room, and, besides, one does not feel
much like adding improvements to
leased land. Late in the fall the Judge
purchased seven acres of land on
what is known as the Moreau road,
built a fine residence, and in reality
became the man behind the hoe. The
tract of ground he selected overlooks
the Moreau and Missouri rivers. It
affords a fine view of the city.
The Judge has added considerable
stock to his little farm, and is said to
own some Of the finest pigs in Cole
County. Neighbors say that the
Judge has named each Of his pigs
after some noted. Missourian. Be this
Is it may, the frame Of his stock has
aroused great deal Of interest and
both he and Governor Hadley expect
TO compete for prizes at the. Cole
County Fair this year.

Some Letters.
Butler, No., Dec. 10, 1910.

Butler, No., Dec. 10, 1910.
Mr.. P. j. Jewett,
| Butler, Mo.
Dear Sir: In answering your in
quiry regarding my opinion of the
Jewett Grader, l will say that two
years observation of its workings in
different parts of the county and in
different soils under varying condi-
tons, warrants me in saying that the
machine, intelligently used, will do
more and better work, for the amount
of money and labor expended, than
any other machine known to me. I
think that all the earlier objections to
the machine have been overcome by
the recent improvements you have
made, still leaving the principle of the
machine the same. Your device to
prevent skidding when heavily loaded
makes your machine in that respect
superior to anything on the market.
The simplicity of the machine COM
mends it at all times. It can be
turned in space equal to its length
and can be worked in any place a
team can be driven in safety, making
it possible to grade up to culverts and
in many other places where other
machines cannot be driven. think
your machine truly merits all l have
said about it, and even more; there
fore, do not hesitate to recommend
it to any one interested in my line of
work.
Very truly yours,
E. B. Boron.

PETITION CIRCULATING IN
INTEREST OF TELEPOST

A petition is being circulated in
this city, addressed to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, Washington,
d. c., suggesting that in connection
with the investigation of the business
of the express companies, similar
investigation be made by that body
of the practices and policies of the
telegraph companies of this country.
The Telepcst company of New York,
is behind the movement, this COM
pany claiming that because of
the lower rates they offer the public,
made possible by the improved meth
DDS in use, the older companies are
combining against it and using ev-
cry possible means to prevent the
company from acquiring business or
entering new territory. Quite a
number of people in this city and
vicinity hold shares in the Telepost
company and as the average Amer
lean likes to see fair play, anyway,
the petition is being very generally
signed.
Certainly no harm can come from
an investigation, should the commissio
see fit to institute one. and if as is
claimed the Telepost company is be-
ing restrained by the o,her compan-
les from giving the public cheaper tel
egraph toll it is high time that the
matter be taken up by the authori-
ties and the new company be given
fair chance.

AUTOMOBILES COMPLAIN
OF APPROACH CONDITIONS.

Considerable complaint has been
made by automobile owners and
drivers over the condition of the
road leading down to the beach just
south of the automobile club house
The cut has been much filled with
sand drifted in by the wind and sew
eral of the planks in the driveway
have become loosened. But a small
amount of work would be required to
put the road in condition for use by
automobiles in driving onto the
beach.

THE CHORUS LADY SHOW
A MODEL or PURE COMEDY.

The Chorus Lady, which comes to
the New Daytona theater next Thurs
day evening was one of the biggest
successes of the season in New York,
where 1t ran for solid year. The
New York World criticlzes as follows
THE Chorus Lady, by James Forbes,
which was presented at the Wal
lach's theater last night, proved to
be one OF the best comedies of che
season. Not only did the author pro-
vide four acts of keen enjoyment, but
he introduced character entirely
new to Broadway. In developing his
play of love and intrigue off and on
the stage, Mr.. Forbes used ma
terial that was very novel and he
clothed his characters with new RAIN
ment and drew them so true to life
that they pleased the finer sensibili-
ties. The first scene shows Patricia
in the guise of a chorus girl out OF
a job. Some of the slang may miss
fire with the general public, but
there is enough to appeal to the lay
mind to carry it. The second act
represents the chorus room of New
York theater and proved to be one Of
the brightest, with its score of girls
and the general trend of life behind
the scenes. The third and fouItf
acts have just the required amount o
strength and it was in these that The
real dramatic action occurs and the.
held the audience in GREATNESS un
/ certainty until moment before the
curtain fell. The play is model o
fine comedy"

HUNTING PARTY BROUGHT IN
BLACK BEAR AND ALLIGATOR

A hunting party composed of
Messrs. Charles James, B. F. Hough,
John Robarts and Ralph OFT, re-
turned Saturday afternoon from a
weeks trip up the river aboard Mr..
HoIgh's cruising boat, Seabreeze.
Ihe bad weather prevailing the
fol epart of the week kept them
pretty closely confined to the boat
but during the clear days of the
latter half of the week they managed
to secure a fine young black bear
and an alligator nine or ten feet in
length. The bear was somewhere
between one and two years old and
weighed, Mr.. Robarts said, about 200
pounds, dressing at about $50
pounds. The animal was in fine con-
dition and it's coat thick and black.
1t had probably been feeding upon
the rich, oily berries of the saw
palmetto which are very fattening,
and of which the bears of this coun.
try are particularly fond.
The dogs started up one or two
more bears, one of which was seen
by some of the party, but they failed
to get a shot at it. In addition to
the big game the party secured a
number of ducks and squirrels.
Mr.. James, who is from Banning
Pa, Will preserve the bear skin and
have the alligator mounted as tro
phies of the hunt. The bear was
killed in the Bulow section. On the
arrival of the Seabreeze quite a
crowd collected on the Gruber-M Morris
dock and along Beach street to gel
look at the bear.

A State of Siege.

Cayleys discovery Of the tracks fur

first glimpse of the unknown land
where Captain Fielding had met his
tragic fate so many years before. Three
days since he had witnessed, from
aloft, the murder of man he might

For exoneration from a stain upon his
name which was now ineradicable.
Three days ago he had thought his
world was empty, swept clean of hui
man concern and human affection
Three days ago he had not known that
Jeanne Fielding existed.
AS for the identity of the monster
who had left the proof Of his existence
in those tracks which Philip had dis
covered in the snow, they Of course
had 10 certain knowledge; neyerthe-
less, they entertained but little doubt
that he was Roscoe himself. The foot.
prints were immense, Cayley said, and
their distance apart bespoke the stride
OF giant
Ii it were Roscoe who had been
crouching there behind the boulder,
then it seemed to them unlikely that
he was here alone; unlikely that he
had not at least two or three Of his
crew with him.
That idea, when it first occurred to
them, brought little added terror with
it. The person Of the monstrous MUIR
derous ruff1an, who was the chief.
dwarfed his subordinates to pygmies.
Yet when they came to think over the
situation, reasonably, this uncertainty
| IS to the number of their enemy
proved vital element in it. 1t put
an unequiyoca1 veto upon Cayleys
first plan, which was to start out at
once and take the aggressive against
their enemy, before he should have
time to move against them.
This bit of beach where the hut
stood was practically fortified. The
cliff behind it was absolutely sheer,

snow. Half a mile to the westward
was the promontory, and About half
mile up the beach from the hut, TO
the eastward, the glacier projected
it's ice masses in long foe out to
seward This glacier provided the
only practicable means of entrance to
the interior valley and the ledge
where the gold was.
