SOMEBODY BLUNDERED.
New Bank Bill Misnumbered by Gov
ernment PIant---Error Detected
by Osyka Bank.

Osyka, Miss, Feb. 1.-The CASH
ier of the Farmers Bank of Osyka
yesterday received an express pack
age of currency from correspond
ent in jackson, and in counting the
money discovered grave blunder
committed by the mechanical force
of the financial department of the
government and passed on by the
issuing bank.
In making national bank notes
the government has plates maze
for each bank. On each bill the
government has its own serial
number and an additional serial
number tor each bank. Every bill
has a separate government number
and a different serial bank number.
In the shipment of. currency in
question there was a package of
ten just issued by national bank
that was violative of this rule.
The signatures of the president and
cashier were bona fide, and the err
ror of theirs was only in issuing
the bills numbered as they we're.
In some instances there were two
bills with the same government
serial number and the same bank
serial number.
The government is supposed to
keep account of every sheet of
paper intended for money that is
printed and every one that is
wasted. The numbering machines
are supposed to be automatic, ana
each bill numbered consecutiyely.
A register is kept for the account
ing of every bill sent out. For IN
stance, government serial number
D30720A, bank serial number S201,
is registered, so that when the
bank tor which it was issued goes
out Of business and the bill num-
bered as above is presented for re-
demption against the bonds deposit-
ed by the detunct bank, there is a
record to be Cancelled and the bank
credited with the redeemed bill.
Should a second bill of the same
number be presented confusion
follows.
The issuing bank IS also supposed
to keep a record of the bills it is
sues. but in this instance the Off,
GERS evidently satisfied themselves
with keeping an account of the
number of bills put out without
carrying a register of the numbers.
Had register been kept Of the
numbers the governments error
would have been detected.
In the issue referred to govern
ment number D320S78A. bank
serial number 8201, there are three
bills of those numbers. The bills
are otherwise perfect in every par
ticular. How the error occurred is
inexplicable, but the confusion that
is to result is quite apparent.

THE NEXT CLUB TRIP.

The next auto trip by the CONNER
his year. will be taken next week, oc-
cupying two days, Tuesday and We'd
nesday. The plan is to cover most Of
Penlbina county, and part of Walsh,
camping over night at Walhalla.
There was some doubt as to where the
night control would be established,
and the choice seemed to lie between
Cavalier and Walhalla. Cordial in
Vitations were received from both
places, and it was difficult to decide.
Cavalier is the county seat of Pembina
county, it has a fine camping place,
and the Commercial club there would
have done everything possible to
max the stay there a pleasant one.
! Walhalla is one of the oldest settle
ments in the northeastern part Of the
and its people are as hospitable as are
: to be found anywhere. The matter
was solved, however, on the co
graphical basis, or rather, it solved it.
self, for on going Yer the schedule
it was found hat in order to make
the towns which it was planned to Wis
it it was necessary to make the night
stop at Walhalla, and even then it
would be necessary to omit some
places which it vas greatly desired to
visit.
The pilot car will go over the
ground early this week in order to de-
eide definitely on roads to be follow
ed, and to make final arrangements
for all the stops. The prospect is that
this will be much the largest company
that has yet gone out from the city
this year, as all the club members are
impressed with the advantages Of the
trip. and with the pleasant time in
store for those who lake it. The lists
will be made up now within a few
days. INC detailed arrangements will
be perfected.

DIFFICULT EITHER WAY.

The cases against Diggs and Cam
inetti, the two young Sacramento men,
for violation Of the white slave law,
are being tried. The testimony of the
government is in, and the facts alleg-
ed are not disputed. hat is, that the
two men, each with a family of his
own. ran away with two unmarried
girls, took them to Nevada, and there
lived with them illegally. The girls
say that they were coerced by threats
Of exposure. The reply of the de-
Tense to that charge has not beer
made. The Mann white slave law was
not intended as an attack on the go
cial evil in itself. The states have
laws on that subject. and there was no
intent on the part Of congress to in
terfere with the operation Of those
state laws. The purpose Of the law
was to punish the commercializing of
the social evil. and to get at those
persons who make q business Of re-
cruitins women for houses Of prosti-
tuition. And In this regard was had

But she sewed less than she watched
the %feathering willows beside the
creek. 1T was just such a spring as
this when / married Hiram" she NUS
ed. He wasn't much of a lover, but
he was all I eve had"
Fragments of her old dreams came
to her and she smiled over them.
Sometimes she would sit for hours idle,
just gazing out owe the green field.
One day it almost seemed as IL one
whispered in her ear: What a lovely
place for children to play in"
She started guiltily, took off her
glasses and rubbed her eyes,. When
she looked again at the field there
were indeed three children playing
upon it. They seemed very happy.
She watched them i'm half pleased as
tonishment., ~
We'll. forever more" The deep
voice startled her. There was Mrs.
Wrenn, who had entered unheard.
Asleep, Hannah?"
Why, no, Mrs. wrenn. Whose
children are those out on my field,
there?"
Children: 1 don't see any children.
Maybe YOU We're dreaming of Lena's
children. Shes got three. And that
field is wher they ought to be this
minute. You'd never be sorry If you
saw them there, Hannah" AS Han
nah did not speak Mrs. Wrenn went
on earnestly. II wrote to Lena this
morning. 1 told her t. bring the chill
dren and make me a visit. guess
she must be just about played out
with all that washing and ironing she's
been doing. And the children amt
never had a glimpse of the country in
spring. My house is big enough and
to spare for her, Hannah, even il 1t
hain't got fourteen rooms with nobod,
in EN-. and though 1 amt got no call
beyond human kindness to do for her"
She stood up. She lowered over
little gray Hannah. And her face was
stern. Hannah covered her face with
her hands. Go away. Leave me-
alone" she gasped. AndNlrs. Wrenn
went.
AS the door closed Hannah uncov-
cred her face. She looked at Hiram's
picture on the wall. The light from
the great window revealed it hard ana
disagreeable. For the first time Han
nan saw it and herself as they were.
You may like it or not, Hiram"
she said. But she's your girl. And
them children are your kin. This
mouse is there's more than mine. And

these two men intended to sell their

crime which it was intended to reach,

in this case. In all probability the
higher courts will be asked to say
whether the scope of the law Is as
broad as the prosecution now seeks to
make it. If it is. il Will include a class
