Tho anxiety of Loran Klnscherff to ex

aftcrnooa. Klnscherff struck Council

non and by 4 o'clock was In Jail with the
chnrgo of having counterfeit money In his
possession booked against him. Tho charge
of attempting to pass counterfeit money
was placed ngalnst the two lads. According
to Klnschcrff's story, he became possessed
of tho Bpurious dollar In Norfolk last
Thursday, where ho exchanged a $5 bill
to get money to pay his way Into King
ling's circus. On his way from Omaha
hero yesterday afternoon ho attempted to
pass It off on tho motor conductor, but
tho latter waB not suffering from short
sightedness and he nt once detected that
It was bad coin und so Informed Klns
cherff. On reaching Pearl street and
Urondwny ho mot tho two young lads and
showed them the dollar. One volunteered
to change It and went In to Vigo Ander
son's restaurant for that purpose. The
utter worthlessness of tho coin was too
evident nnd Anderson refused to chango
It. Then tho other lad tried to pass It
at a drug store and was also unsuccess
ful In the meantlmo Anderson had tel
ephoned tho police and beforo Klnscherff
and tho lads had tlmo to try a third place

says he was on his way to Illinois. Tho
caso will bo turned aver to the federal

FORT DODOR, In., Aug. C (Special.)
Valuablo gypsum deposits may underlie
northwestern Webster county. Furmers and
well drillers so assert and baso their claims
on lecent wells that havo been put down.
It has been believed until now that the out
cropping of gypsum in Iowa occurred In
only ono point, thnt of very limited nren,
south of Fort Dodge and near tho little
station of Carbon. If It bo true that tho
chalky rock Is found In moro extenslvo beds
It will prove of untold wealth lo thu county,
which has practically been mndo by tho
development of the gypsum Industry.
State, Geologist Frank 1. Wilder, who Is
In the city nnd hns been making a system
atlc examination of the county for the state
geological Biirvey this summer, Is Inclined to
bo Incredulous and says that he will not
ofllclully sanction tho finds until ho has
completed n careful analysis of tho water
from tho wells.
Ur. Wilder has now practically completed
tho survey of tho county. Ho has covered
nearly nil tho territory on foot and his data
Is carefully recorded In his field books
which yet remain to be expanded and
elucidated for tho gcncrnl public. The re
port will bo In tho hands of tho stato printer
pomo tlmo this full. Dr. Wilder Is uutto
well satisfied with tho results of his work
except that tho data regarding tho lower
strata In tho southern half of tho county
Is fragmentary and unsatisfactory. Infor
matlon ns to tho various substrata can bo
obtained only through observation of deep
wells or mines nnd few deep wells exist In
tho territory and tho data from them Is of
llttlo importance. Tho coal urea covers
practically all of tho county, but tho veins
ure tho thickest In tho southeastern sec
tion. Llttlo of tho mineral resources of
tho county hnvo been touched so fur. Tho
report of tho state geologist will show that
Webster is one of the richest counties In
Iowa, all of tho mineral of tho stato being
round ucre.

of Committeeman J. 8. Dewell, who wns
defeated for committeeman by J. E. llruco

their defeat and they vow vengeance

Ho was dcfeateil .by m division of Potta-

this defeated Dewell of Harrison county,
so that Harrison is going to get even by re
fusing to support any man from those coun
