The total amount Of known fraud
ulent state warrants issued from the

Brine or other parties unknown was
increased to $1,000 Friday, when an
other fraudulent warrant for $1,000
was discovered and indications found
of the issuance of still one more, al
though only the warrant itself can
furnish positive proof of fraud in the
latter case.
The one located Friday was issued
in the name of y. W. Hudson against
the fund for the state hospital for
the insane at Fort supply There was
no claim for this warrant but a valid
warrant had been issued to Hudson
on the same day, June s, 1910, for
500 and the same claim number
placed on that warrant was also
placed on the fraudulent one.
The warrant number was lll5 and
the stub was filled out to correspond
with the warrant. but was later mark

warrant book containing Nos ll45 TO

opposite page of stubs that that leaf
had been left out of the book. The
number of warrant No. ll4j was de
raced by the use of a blot of ink
so that the figure "i' was completely
covered. and that blank warrant was
attached to the stub OF 11l5 and also
marked Cancelled
The warrant purports to have been
signed by Carl II. Rice, assistant state
auditor, and the warrant having ap-
parenuy been slipped in with large
number of good ones for Mr.. Rice's
signature under the old system, which
did not require the claim for each
warrant to be attached to the war
rant when presented for signature.
The warrant was discovered through
its presentation for payment under
the treasurers' call, which begins July
10. This warrant was sent to the
treasurer's Office day in advance,
with q large number of others, by Joe
Willis of Guthrie, who was anxious
to get his money at once and was
willing to surrender one days in
terest.
Members OF the treasurer's force
were a little suspicious in regard to
this particular warrant and took it to
the auditors office for comparison

was found 10 be unQuestionably fraud

calls will be taken TO the auditors

there TO insure its genuineness before
being paid. Most Of the fraudulent war

NINE. FALLiERES ALSO VISIT.

Paris, July 15.-Gen. Porfirio Diaz
has received many official honors IN
Paris Among the Latin American
residents of the capital his presence
has been the occasion of a series of
brilliant receptions and fetes. The
former president of Mexico was re-
ceiyed by President Fallieres at the
EIysee and later the president paid
return visit to the MEXICAN. Sonora
Diaz and Nine. Fallieres also eX-
changed visits.
Several hitherto unchronicled incl
dents of the long voyage on the Ger
man steamship Yprianga from Mexico,
have been told by fellow passengers as
interesting side-lights on the aged sol
dier's personality. General Diaz MIN
gled freely with all and talked on
variety of subjects. Outspoken
thoughts of bitterness at his revolving
fellow-countrymen formed the least
place in these talks so eagerly in
dulged by fellow travellers anxious
TO get a close to-hand view OF the man
accredited with the building up of mod
ern Mexico.
The great topic of interest TO Gen
eral Diaz was the old world, whose
shores he was approaching for the
first time in his life, He wanted to
know all about the nations of Europe,
and especially of France and Of Paris.
He recounted often his experiences
with the troops of Napoleon Ill, to
help the Macmillan campaign when
he was made prisoner by the French
officers. who treated him, however,
with the greatest courtesy, more, in
deed. as a friend.
He was greatly affected by the
demonstrations of welcome at the
Spanish ports. Unlike the times later
when he was officially greeted in Eng
land and France, he was more at home
therefor those about spoke his own
Spanish tongue At Santander boat
loads of enthusiastic visitors brought
him masses of beautiful flowers. The
president was literally buried under
floral pieces. made up from the finest
beds of Spanish gardens. Somebody
estimated these flowers as worth at
least $4,000.
The day after leaving Santander
General Diaz saw the purser. "Purser'
he said. Il think we'd better throw
those flowers overheard now. 1t was
very nice to have given them to me-
but have no use for them On the
way back to his cabin he said to a
friend: After all, flowers are all
humbug. It would have been better
to have spent the money on the poor.
At Havre as he was about to land
General Daz said:
II am going into vast country
whose languages l do not know. Alas,
fear | am too old to learn Then,
with CLEAN in his eyes and a
straightening of his shoulders, he add

The general complaint made about
Dr Wiley is practically the same

an evasion of the law, for the sup

A TRIP OBERAMMERGkN

1t is seldom that the people of
any community ever have such
opportunity as was offered last nj ght
to the people of Elkn to listen to
a lecture on the Passion Play" by
one who actually saw the play a. it
was givenby the simple reverent
people of that little country village.
1t was evident that the people Of
Elko appreciated this opportunity
from the fact that the church was
well filed Notwithstanding other
attractions.
Those whose prive lcge it was to
listen to the lecture and behold
the exq usitely colored views from
the photographs of the actual play
seemed to be transported to that
little Bavarian village of Souther
Germany nesting in the foot hills
of the Tyrol Alps and we in
realistic fancy saw and heard those
German peasants render again the
immortal story of the Cross. So
vivid were the word pictures of the
lecture that we forgot for the time
our surroundings and were seated
with him in the great auditorium
at Oberammergau, witnessing the
thrilling events and the tragic
ending of the earthly life of the Son
Of God. Many were moved to tears
and all were made to appreciate
more than ever before the price that
was paid for mans redemption.
1t has been our privilege to listen
to several emf nent lecturers as
they told the tory If the passion
Play" We have seen the views from
American made slides and both
Edison and ! abins' moving pictures
representatives of the play and all
we're good. This, however, by
far surpasses them all. The
picturesque language of the
lecturer, the fact of his having
been an eye witness IF the scenes
heportrsyed, the Use Of imported
slides made from the original
negatives all contributed to the
interest of the lecture.
