Counterfeiter Cauyht
THE IlKKAU) has had occasion-to
call attention more than once to the
bogus silver coin that is being cir
culated. The following account of
the capture of the makers of the
counterfeit money from the World
Herald, which we trust will be read
with interest :
"For over a year past the federal
authorities have been at work en
deavoring to locate a band of coun
terfeiters, supposed to be located in
Rock or an adjoining count' in this
stale, engaged iti manufacturing
counterfeit silver quarters, halves
aud dollar pieces.
The merchants and business men
of that section were constantly in
receipt of the spurious coins.
The business of "shoving the
queer" was carried on so success
fully without detection that at last
the business was conducted on a
wholesale plan and thousands of
dollars were put in circulation.
After a year of careful watching
and waiting the efforts of United
States authorities were fully reward
ed. Yesterday Deputy United States
Marshals Heplinger and Baker ar
rived in Omaha with three men as
prisoners, whom it is reported am
ple evidence of guilt has been ob
tained.
I he fedral authorities located the
place where the queer coins were
manufactured iti a rear room of
livery barn. The jlace was put
undcr strict surveillance, and at
midnight Tuesday night the work
of manufacturing bogus silver
dollars was discovered to be in
progress under the superintend
enc of Joseph 11. Klwell.
Deputies Hepfinger and Baker
accompanied by Sheriff Harris of
Rock county, watched Klwell for
more than an hour and when he
had successful moulded a dollars
and dropped it out of the mould
they broke down the door and with
drawn revolvers placed the attorney
untler arrest.
A large quantity of zinc, babbit
metal and glass used in the inaiiu
lacturc oi tne uogus coin was
seized.
Evidence implicating two other
men located at Bassett was in the
possession of Uncle Sam's sleuth
hounds and P. H. Bushel and
James Cooper were arrested there
this morning.
The three men were brought to
Omaha last night and lodged in the
county jail, and the matter will be
submitted to the federal grand jury
to-ii y.
The business men .aid bankers at
Bassett, Newport and adjoining
towns have been compelled to
adopt a system of weighing all sil
ver money coming into their pos
session as a matter of self protec
tion, as the imitation was so com
plete as to almost evade detection
lue tanners were great losers in
many instances and at last resorted
to a Hat refusal to receive silver
coin in exchange matters.
llie arrival or trie prisoners in
Omaha last night at the Webster
street depot, under charge of the
federal oflicers though coupled to
getherwith a pair of handcuffs, at
tracted no particular attention as
they were marched up the street to
take the motor train for the jail. An
overcoat was carelessly thrown
across the chained wrists of the two
men and thus sheilded them from
public notice.
Joseph H. LT well was a prominent
politician in the old Big lhird
congressional mstrict. lie is
well known in northern and
northwestern Nebraska and
has heretofore borne a good
reputation. Elwell is completely
broken down and refuses to talk. It
is believed that the federal authori
ties now have the complete key to
the bogus coin situation in Iowa,
Nebraska and Dakota, which has
puzzled the federal secret service
for the last year."
The Run to Lincoln'
The train was pulled from Hast
ings to Lincoln by engine 203;
Robert Smith, "the B. & M. flying
engineer," handled the throttle and
Fireman Charles flook fondled the
coal that kept the great locomotive
steamed across the state. Con
ductor Chase was in charge of the
train. The run from Hastings was
made in two hours and thirteen
minutes, including stops at Fair
montof eight minutes, and at Crete
of seven minutes. The engine was
handsomely decoratedwith bunting
woven into a number of beautiful
designs. The engine presented a
most handsome appearance and
seemed to be fiilled with as much
patriotism as steam. From Denver
to Lincoln a special or "pilot" train
kept ahead of the presidential party
byten or fifteen minutes and cleared
the vajrof all possible impediments
or danger. State Journal.

Interesting Facts.
The census bureau has issued a
bulletin upon the debts of the
world, as far as can be obtained.
The debt of foreign nations in lSK),
less a sinking fund is "VM'TO.tXK,
an increase over S) of $2,l74,ir.i,().")
The debt of the United States for
some time shows a decrease
of
the
$1 ,007, t.",000, or more than half
amount of the debt in '80. The
de
and crease in the debt of the states
territories for ten years to ''..), is
!?07,L'r.),00O. In the same time the
debt of countries increased .rl7,H-l(J,
000. Relatively the burden of debt
falls far heavier upon inhabitants
of the principal of foreign coun
tries, except those of Germany', than
those of this country, while indi
vidual flucuations in amounts of in
debtedness of seventy-nine foreign
nations is reported to have been
considerable during the decade.
The aggregated indebtedness shows
relatively but little change, espec
ially if compared with the increase
of population. Aggregating na
tional, state and county indebted
ness per capita shows a decrease
from $4o..r)t) in 1880 to $120.40 in 1S!X).
Aggregate surplus of receipts for
another decade like the one
just past would relieve the country
from nearly all the national, state
and county indebtedness, could
they be distributed for the ournose.
Ex.
County Court.
The case of A. N. Sullivan vs. the
City of Plattsmouth is on trial to
day to a jury. Judging from the
testimony, Sullivan was having
things pretty much his own way,
Juge Chapman testified that it was
worth $5,1X10 to try the bond case in
the district court, and that Judge
rmllivan s services were worth $1,000,
B3T011 Clark testified as to the
nature of the employment and
valued the services at from $700 to
$1,(XX1
Sullivan placed his services at
J.KX) all along until a few days ago
when he amended his bill, asking
for $1,000.
Jesse Root will testify this after
noon on benait or tne tax payers
and will probably not value the ser
vices so high. The case will doubt
less occupy the most of the after
noon.
Sullivan appears for himself and
City Attorney C. S. Polk for the cor
poration.

The Oil Inspector.
Louis Ileimrod is determined to
test the legality of his removal from
the state oil inspectorship by Gov.
Thayer. Mr. II. holds all the appa
ratus in his possession at Omaha
and refuses to give up or in any
way recognize the new official. The
following letter was sent Mr. Ileim
rod by Gov. Tha3-er's appointee:
LlXCOLX, Neb., May 9, 1891. Hon.
Louis Ileimrod, Omaha. Dear Sir:
liis excellency, John M. Ihaj-er,
governor ot the state of Nebraska,
having seen fit to appoint me
chief inspector of oils" for this
state, and having executed the re
quired bond, which has been filed
in the office of the secretai-3- of state
with the oath of office thereto at
tached, which duly qualities an offi
cer, I have taken possession of my
room in the capitol building desig
nated for the office of "state inspec
tor of oils." I therefore desire you
to name an early day on which you
cati meet me in 1113-office at Lincoln
to arrange for the transfer of all
projjerty belonging to the state, to
gether with all accounts, papers,
etc., 111 your possession outside this
olrice and belonging thereto.
er3' respectfully, your obediaiit
servant, E. C. Cakxes.
Chief Oil Inspector State of Ne
braska.
To which Ileimrod replies as fol
lows:
Omaha, Ned., May 11. Ed. C
Carnes, Lincoln, Neb. Dear Sir:
In repK' to your letter of Ma3r 9,
1S91, I will sa3r that as I am the onl3"
legal oil inspector in the state. I
decline and refuse to in an3r wa3
recognize you as having any rights
in the premises.
Louis Heimrod,
Chief Oil Inspector, State of Ne
braska.
Thus it will be seen that, while
Nebraska recently reveled in the
luxur3r of two governors we are now
to have a season of two inspectors.
This is a case where the pouring of
oil on the waters won't work: we
have too much oil now. If Ileim
rod should come out victorious,
Rakestraw of Nebraska Cit3r would
drown himself for having given up
office to which 1303 d appointed
