Couriterfeil-ri Caught The Herald has had occasion to call attention more than once to the bogus silver coin that is being cii ciliated. The following account of Hie 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 bafid of coun terfeiters, supposed to be located in Rock or an adjoining county in this state, engaged in manufacturing coun 'rfcit silver quarters, halves and do.lar 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 .i 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 I'nited States authorities were fully reward ed. Yesterday Deputy United States Marshals Hepfinger and IJaker ar rived in Omaha with three men as prisoners, whom it is reported am ple evidence of guilt has been ob tained. The fedral authorities located the place where the queer coins were manufactured in a rear room of a livery barn. The place was put under strict surveillance, and at midnight Tuesday night the work of manufacturing bogus silver dollars was discovered to be in progress under the superintend- encyof Joseph 11. Flwell. Deputies Hepfinger and IJaker, iccompanied by Sheriff Harris of Rock county, watched Klwell for more than sin hour and when he had successful moulded a dollars and dropped it out of the mould they broke down the door anil with drawn revolvers placed the attorney under arrest. A Large quantity of zinc, babbit metal and glass used in the manu facture of the bogus coin was seized. I2vidence implicating two other men located at IJassett was in the possession of Uncle Sam's sleuth hounds anil 1. 11. 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-day. The business men and bankers at Bassett, Newport and adjoining towns have been compelled to adopt a system of weighing all sil ver money coining into their pos session as a matter of self protec tion, sis the imitation was so com plete as to almost evade detection. The farmers were great losers in many instances and at last resort eil to a tlat refusal to receive silver coin in exchange matters. The arrival of the prisoners in Omaha last night at the Webster street depot, t'lider charge of the federal officers though coupled to gether with 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 II. Elwcllwas a prominent politician in the old "Big Third" congressional district. He is weli known in northern and northwestern Nebraska and has heretofore borne a good reputation. Klwell 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 Hook 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 anil thirteen minutes, including stops :it Fair mont of 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 hilled with as much patriotism as steam. From Denver to Lincoln a special or "pilot" train kept ahead of the presidential party by ten or fifteen minutes and cleared the way of all possible impediments or danger. State Journal.

By the lirst of next week the track will be completed into Platts mouth. The report is that all trains will be running on this line in about a month, anil shipping can be commenced from our cit3'. Our people will feel greatly relieved when they do not have to go eight or ten miles for goods, but can re ceive them close at home. Let us all join in and take an ex cursion to Omaha or some place when the line is completed. Our hardware man, Mr. 12. A.

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 1S90, less a sinking fund is $25,63G,07G.fXX). an increase over '80 of $2,134,aG3,(i."k, The debt of the United States for some time shows a decrease of $l,0O7.4."55,O0O, or more than half the amount of the debt in '80. The de crease In the debt of the states and territories for ten years to '90, is i?)7.210.lMiO. In the same time the debt of countries increased ?17.84G, (HK. 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 oi 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 $4j-"9 in 18S0 to $20.4t in 1890. 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 purpose.

Professor Kummerow may well feel proud of his effort to entertain and interest an appreciative audi ence that assembled last night at the opera house. THE IlEKALD is a sincere believer in the great value of a thorough gymnastic training, and what we saw last night leads us to believe that our citizens are exceedingly fortunate in having with us so per fect a teacher as the professor has proven himself to be. The program was well rendered The zither playing by Mr. Festner, of Omaha, was very fine. The club swinging, by Otto Wurl, the exer cises on the horizontal bar and the boys class in calisthenics are all worthy of special mention. The German songs by the double quar teet of the Turnverein were loudly applauded. Phillip Andres, of Omaha, deliv ered an address on the importance of calisthenics in its relation to fine physical development, that ought to have been heard by every patron of our public schools.
