Moscow, who sought to 20 to AM

their possession counterfeit French
banknotes representing more than
100000.
The Moscow scheme, according to
these officials, Is quite simple. the

or the theory that bankers are no;
particularly familiar with the APP
pearance OF foreign currency.
a considerable amount Of this

FOUR BODIES ARE
STILL MISSING IN
THE RIVER WRECK
Five Bodies Recovered From Wrecked
Steamer Yesterday-Other Four
Bodies Expected To Be
Found Today.

Augusta, KY, Dec. %. At $3.50
Tuesday afternoon the steamer Mar
garet was righted by the United States
steamer Miami and dredgeboat, after
working all day, and raised until
about one-half of the upper cabin was
out of the water.
Divers McGuffen and Moore said
they could not get into the cabin to
search for the bodies, and long poles
with iron hooks were Ised to search
every stateroom on the boat, but the
search was unsuccessful until hole
was cut in the roof directly back OF
the pilot house. where five bodies
were found.
Mrs. H. V. Pittman, 32 years old
was found. with her two daughters
Evelyn 10 years, and Virginia, s
clasped in her arms, Little Virginia
was burned about the face, no doubt
by the heavy stove in the cabin, which
overturned when the boat began to
list before sinking. In the same room
we're. found the bodies Of William II
King. "a years old, the veteran river
engineer. and James Coffey, "a years
old. both of whom were members Oi
the Margaret's crew.
There is no question but that all oi
them were at supper when the boat
began to sink, and they were attempt
| ing to go through the room where
they we're found to escape to the up
per deck of the boat when the Mar
garet went under.
The bodies of Mrs. Pittman and heI
children are being prepared for ship
ment to Springfield, ILL.,, their former
home. while the body of William II
King has been claimed by his son
John. who will have the remains bur
led in Ohio. The body of James Coffey
will be taken to the home of his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Stella Hart
where the funeral services will be
held.
The work of recovering the remain
der of the missing, Captain George
Hart, his daughter, Mrs. James Cof'
fey, Dewey Smith and William Hines
is being pushed as rapidly as possible
and II is believed all of them will be
found in the immediate vicinity of the
Margaret when she is raised from the
water.

Engaged In Coal Business Here
For Forty-Fiye Years,
Sells Interests.

Mr.. Joseph H. Dodson has sold out
his coal interests only on the west
side or Wall street to Judge W. T.
Kenton. In this branch of his busi-
ness MIR. Dodson has been engaged for
the past As consecutive years and to
his successor will continue his good

Judge Kenton recently moved to
Maysville from Mt. Olivet purchasing

successful business man and the peo-
pie of Maysville are glad to know that
he is to establish himself in business
here. His engaging in business here
will add much to the local business
interests.
Mr.. Dodson, who retires from the
coal business, has probably been in
business consecutively for a longer
time than any other business man now
in the city. In selling his coal inter-
ests, he is not retiring from his vari-
Gus other interests but will retain his
office in the Dodson building at the
corner of West Second and Wall

Big DEMAND
FOR SEATS AT
vOGEL'S Revue
Keen Interest Being Manifested In the
Coming Of John w. vogeps Black
and White Revue.

Manager Russell of the Washington
Opera House reports that the advance
sale Of seats for the coming engage
ment of John w. Vogels Black and
White Revue is far exceeding his ex-
pecetations and that all indications
point to sell-out. This is not to be
wondered at when it | s considered
that the reports from all cities played
recently by the Revue agree in saying
that it is the greatest show of its kind
and that the attendance in most in
stances has been limited only by the
size of the theater.
Our local theater-goers have ever
been willing and anxious to patronize
meritorious attractions, and they ap-
preciate the fact that John W. Vogels
name has always stood for the best in
the entertainment line. John W.
vogel's Black and White Revue is a
show replete with novelty, originality
and humor-a show of mirth, melody
and music. interspersed with special
ties that would be top-liners on any
vaudeville bill. Beautiful scenery, gor-
geous costumes, and the general ex-
cellence of the performers have won
the highest praise from the critics
Reports from the cities and towns
played by the Revue attest the fact
that it is a well merited success. play
ing to packed houses.
The advance sale of seats, as be-
fore mentioned, indicates that the en-
gagement at the Washington next Sat
urday, Christmas Day, will be re-
cord breaker in point of attendance
: aud In order to avoid disappointment
1t will be well to secure tickets early
