ATTUMI'TS A COM < MII3 > 'CI3 C.AMI ! MnlceN nil irnfmccrnnfnt IMii ; to Secure Some Cnnli , The authorities of this ckty and Omah are looking for n supposed traveling mm who a few days ago attempted to secur a sum of money from Lyon & Healy , th Chlcnco music house. The man's name I said to bo J. Drayton and he was a gues at one of the leading hotels In Omaha. Last Tuesday he came to Council Bluff and dispatched a telegram to ithe firm o Lyon & Hcaly , asking for a telegraph ! transfer of $75. The name ho attached ti the message was that of a well known travel Ing man In the employ of the house. Ii the message ho asked that Identification b waived nnd stated that ho would send i letter of explanation. No reply to the telegram came and thi fellow , who was well dressed , appeared ti get very anxious. Ho called several time : at the telegraph office and seemed grcatl ; disappointed when the money failed to ar rlvo. Nothing has 1)ecn seen of him since The day following , the traveling man ii whoso name the fellow had telegraphed , np peared. Ho had been In Omaha nnd hat received a telegram from his house , makini Inquiries about the message. It nppearei that on receipt of the telegram Lyon .5 Healy at once ordered the $75 sent , bu recalled the transfer before it had beei sent , as It was suspected something wai wrong. An examination of the tolegran supposed to bo signed by the firm's rep resentatlvo showed that the house had bcei addressed as "Lyons & 'Healy ' , " Instead o "Lyon & Hcaly. " The firm also wore sur prised at their representatlvo wiring for : telegraphic transfer , as ho always carrlci drafts which ho used when in need o funds. For these reasons they recalled thi order. The man who forged the firm's name t ( the telegram Is supposed to toe the persot who registered In Omaha at one of th < leading hotels as J. Drayton , nnd wh ( claimed to be the agent of a New Yorl Automobile company. Drayton met Lyon t. Healy's traveler while In Omaha and bcln ? supposedly short of cash decided on usinf the latter's name to replenish it. He prob ably would have succeeded .but . for thi small mistake in adding an "S" to th < firm's name. Youthful Couple Weil. Henry A. Servlss , a youth of 17 years claiming Grand Island as his ihome , am Winifred Van Wle of Omaha , also 17 year of age , the latter accompanied oy hei mother , applied to Deputy Clerk of the DIs- trlct Court GUI Baird yesterday afternooi for a marriage license. The groom , wh < was attired In the cadet uniform of thi Grand Island High school , produced a note purporting to bo signed toy hit * mother , It which she consented to the marriage. Then being nothing to show that the not * will the mother's consent was genuine , Deputj Balrd at first objected to Issuing the license After a talk with the prospective brldegroon in his private office Mr. Balrd ccnsented tc Issue the license on the young man maklnp an affidavit that the consent was really thai of his mother. The ceremony was per formed by Justice Ferrler and" the younj couple took the first car back to Omaha. Sure EnotiKh Ilomli. W. F. Brothenton of 731 South Ninth street about a week ago turned over to the police n supposed dynamite cartridge which he had found in an adjoining house , formerly occupied by a railway switchman , who had moved with his family to a farm In Nebraska some time before , leaving the dwelling vacant. The cartridge was placed in the safe In the jail and nothing more thought about it until Thrusday evening , when Jailer White decided to get rid ol it. The dangerous looking bomb was given to Officer Stockdale , who took It to a spot outsldo the city limits and exploded It. It proved to be the genuine article nnd tore a hole In the ground several feet deep. Thn police are now congratulating themselves that the cartridge did not explode at the city jail.

The machinery In use In the French paper mills Is chiefly of Dcrglnn nnd German make , the Belgians obtaining n nllght prefer ence , says Paper. Thus , in 1S)7 ! ) , of the total amount of paper mill machinery imported into France , Belgium supplied Iho equiva lent of $75,000 worth , Germany $14,000 worth , Great Britnln $1.1,700 worth , while other countries furnished $6,000 worth. It will bo seen from these figures that American man ufacturers of paper mill iippllanccn Imvo made little , If any , effort to obtain n foot hold In the French republic. The attention of the trade should bo drawn to the fnct that Franco is becoming a developing tnnrkct for paper mill ma chinery , The French trndo Is making per sistent efforts to malio Its wares known abroad , nnd In not a fuw markets the French makers have succeeded in displac ing English goods , which held the control.
