Bankers are warning the public "a
look carefully at 500 bills before ac'
cepting them, as they may be counter:
felt. A number of spurious bills of
this denomination were recently dis
covered in circulation in Kansas, and
it is believed that some might have
gotten into this vicinity. The counter
felt bills can be distinguished from the
good ones by the difference in the top
button on the waistcoat Of President
Monroe, whose portrait appears on the
back Of the bills. On the good bills
the lines on this button run across il
both horizontally and vertically
whereas on the spurious bills it runs
only horizontally.

No less than eleven cases for the

from justice courts during the sum-
mer. Judge Cummings notified the
jury that he expected it to investigate
cases of selling liquor illegally.
1T is very evident that there has
been open and fragrant violation of the
liquor laws in this city in the summer"
said Judge Cummings. IF evidence
of illegal sales is not furnished you,
then some one is lax in his duty of
procuring evidence. If no investigation
is made of illegal sales by this jury,
you will not be excused until an in
vestigation is made" The instructions
regarding illegal liquor sales was the
only special instruction given the jury.
The seven who We're selected for the
jury We're w. d. Burgone, r. w. Doo-
