Used Stamps for Fuel.

the item of 300 millions direct and
iudirect loss suffered by operat irs,
miners and people and railroads, as
the result of the coal strike, one
branch of the government the bu
reau of engravlrg and printing will
chalk up a profit f not far from
8150. Incidentally, in accomplish
ing this saving, the bureau has in
the month past burned fuel for
which the treasury paid In cold cash
more than one million.
In this paitlcular instance the gov
ernment stokers have been shoveling
'documentary revenue stamps for
which the treasury paid $400,00 daily
Into the furnaces of the bureau along
with a proportion of coal, the stamps
producing heat that otnerwlse would
have required the consumption of
more coal.
Beginning with July, 1901, follow
ing the repeal of the stamp tax on
bank checks, telegraph and telephone
messages, and augumcnted this last
July by the repeal of all stamp taxes,
the treasury has been redeeming the
revenue stamps remaining in the
bands of purchasers thoughout tbe
county. The stamps have been
shipped In wagon loads, a considerable
portion of the bulk being made up
of tbe blank checks upon which the
stamp was impressed. Carloads and
tuns upon tons of this stuff have
been shipped to Wash log ton and
stored In the treasury.
In the latter part of September,
while the process of destruction was
going on, and while the officials of
the treasury department weie rack
ing their brains to figure out a fuel
supply for the various bureaus, the
engineer at the bu-eau of engraving
and printing was seized witli an In
spriailon. He suggested the utiliza
tion of the wagon loads of stamps
and stamped checks for the purpose
of producing steam.

Iinplemente of Cracksmen Found When
They Were Ixiitering Mew Charge Hade
Against Hubert Walks.
Beatrice, Neb., Nov. 14. Sheriff
Waddington, assisted by John Scbiek
of tbis city has lodged Id jail two
comparatively young men, who are
believed to be the ones who attempt
ed to rob the Clatonia bank Monday
night.
Early Thursday morning two men
were seen to alight at Clatonia from
a freight train from tbe west. Tbe
attempt on the bank's treasure still
was vivid in the minds of the towns
people, and the presence of any
stranger was instantly noticeable so
from the moment tbe men stepped
from the train their movement was
scrutinized. After loitering about
the depot a few moments tbe men
walked down tbe track and to tbe
point where the robbers had aband
oned the borse and buggy Tuesday
morning. They then proceeded to a
point near where the gang had cross
ed tbe creek. For more than an hour
they were watched by Henry Alberts
and others who finally concluded
that tbe pair must know something
about the robbery and a posse ad
vanced on them and took them in
custody.
Meanwhile a search was made or
the surrounding premises where the
following articles were found. Two
long 44-Colts revolvers one-half pint
of nitro-glycreioe two tiles six skele
ton keys a quantity of fuse and caps.
Tbe men were taken up town and
while no violence was offered them
about every man woman and child
in the town and surrounding country
stood guard over them armed with
some kind of a weapon.
Tbe suspects pleaded innosence
and said they were in Horton Kan
sas Monday nigbt. Telegrams were
sent people there whom they claimed
to know but the responses were not
at all satisfactory. When the sher
iff reached Clatonia about 3 o 'clock
this afternoon the men were In the
rear of a saloon which was guarded
by fully one hundred armed residents.
The men had money and spent it
freely. Tbey talked about Banker
Chamberlain and using him for a com
parison spoke disparagingly of all
bankers and displayed an acquain
tance wltb names of prominent peo
ple and knowledge of public affairs
which shows tl.ey are not strangers
to Nebraska. The Clatonia people
and the sheriff believes they have
got tbe right men. They are about
thirty years old each. When searched
here a long thin file was found on one
of them. They refused to give any
names.
