GREEN GOODS
MEN AT WORK
TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE GREEN
COUNTER CLERKS
And their Present Whereabouts is a
Mystery Hard to Solve.
On Saturday ev ning about S
o'clock a. couple of crooks got
busy in the business district of
Broken Bow , trying to circulate
counterfeit bills at.lOngat many
of our merchants and business
men. If the crooked gentry had
this town on their map as an eas\ '
m rk .they have changeel it b
this tune , as they were successful
in but on or tW\J instances , and
that in small bills. Mrs. Crable ,
of the Annex Cafe , has a $5 bill
to remember them by. They also
took Mr. McMillan , the druggist
in Baisch's drug store , for Mr.
E. Z. and presented him with a
20. Mack scrutinized the bill
a moment and returned it , re-
marldng that he lost the best job
he e"er had in St. Joe. MissourI ,
for changing $20 bills without
the I'show me" mark on them.
Drake's dry goods store was next
and nere he succeeded in leaving
the 20 with one of Mr. Drake's
busy clerks. The bill is issued
on the Planter's Bank of Georgia ,
the same on both sid s and is a
very poor'imitation of a $20 bill.
Word was received here tuuday : ;
that they had been in Ansley on
Sdturday and that several Lf the
business men of tbat town wcre
bolding funeral services as a result -
sult of their visit. Both men
had on black clothes and black
felt hats with overalls.
One of \ r. Ryerson's clerls
also changed a $20 counterfeit
bill 3aturday night for one of
the slippery gents.
On receipt of a telegram from
Grand Island on Monday stating
that the officers there had two
'suspicious characters under arrest
the sheritI immediately left for
there with a warrant. He returned -
turned to Broken Bow Tuesday
night , bringing with him one of
tbe men , but nobody being able
to identify tbe prisoner he was
'turned loose.
Pump Fraud Exposed.
'l'he Kansas City Journal of
September 26. states , that the
government secret service men
and United States deputy marsh-
alls swooped down on the officers
of the Western Pump and Manufacturing -
facturing company , in the Beals
building yesterday , and gathered
in President W. M. IVlyers , H. S.
McGowanarct , J. F. Lud" , and
took tbem before U. S. Commissioner -
sioner J. M. RuckaJs on chargc
of fraud. 'l'hey were bound over
till October 4. It is claimed that
in six months the company has
taken in $60,000 an have not deli -
li vered a dollar's worth of goods.
Their scheme was to sell COU:1ty
rights to indlviduals for $200 ,
the agent getting half the prIce
of the sale , so that each sale nets
tbe company $100. 'rhe pump in
question is worked by a spring
and an V 18 year old boy can wincI
up the wpump in fifteen minutes
enough to run it for 12 hours and
raise water from a 60 foot well.
The government experts were on
hand and claim that tbere is no
power in the spring that is put
in tbe pump and that tbe model
will not resist the weight of a
pound. Tbe full size machine
would not resist tbe welght of
four pounds , and an inch column
of water sixty feet deep would
make t e pump helpless. and was
never made to sell but to sbow.
The company sold rights to nearly -
ly every county in Kansas ; 40
counties in Missouri ; S in Olda-
homa ; 56 in Texas ; 45 in Nebraska -
ka ; S in Iowa ; 2 in Ohio , and so
on. We are informed that a
farmer near West nie ) ) purcbas-
ed the right for Cusler count ) ' .
A citizen of Broken Bow paid
$200 for the Sherman county
right.
Farewell Reception.
A farewell reception was ten-
M. A. Walters and f mily
at the : home of Mr. and Mr .
Pigman Saturday night by the
members of th Baptist church.
I A very pleasant time socially
was enjoyed , after which l ght
refreshments were served.

AFTER THE COMING EASTER IT
WILL TAKE EFFECT
. Catholics Will Have to Sign Contract
. When they Engage to Marry.
Aftcr ncxt Easter , the Homan
Ca tholics will have to sign contracts -
tracts when they engage to mar-
ry. This is a part of the new
matrimonial regulations which
Pope Pius X has ordered cnCorc-
eel in America , as they have becn
in Catholic countries sincc the
cQuncil of 'l'rcnt in the Sixteenth
century.
At present Catholic churches
publih the banns se"eral Sundays -
days before a wed ing.rr'l1 ' s
consists in an anl10uncemcnt from
the pulpit by the priest tbat the
persous are to be married at u
certain date. 'l'he n'w marriage
regulations require a man or
\Vomln ! e)1gaged to marry to sign
a wrllten agreement to that effect
in the presence of two witnesses.
Then the engagemcnt is binding
and is published iu church.
'l'he young people mllst marry
unless they can show the bishop
of the diocese in which the agreement -
ment was sig ned a reason why it
should be broken. 'l'hc bishop
may then issue a dispensation and
an agreement to break the engagement -
gagement must be signed by the
two partics in Ule presence of two
witnesscs.
' " 'rhese laws regardiug matri-
ony have been in force in the
atholic countries of Burope and
Asia since their publication in
the , Sixteenth century , " said the
r cv. Anton Kuhls of St. Marys
church on thc west side. Father
Kuhls has been studying the
marriage regulations and he will
deliver a scries of Sunday night
lectures on them , bcgin 1ing' on
October 6 , in order that his parishioners -
ishioners may understand every
detail.
: "This country was an unknown
wilderness when the CovlIcii of
'l'rcnt hCld its sessions , " continued -
ed Fathcr Kuhls. "As the regulations -
lations were never published here
they have never been enforced.
Now the pope desires that the
regulations be enforced in the
New World and among-st all the
Catholics. Easter , 1908 , is the
date set for the regulation to go
into effect. "
Other priests said that they
wou1d also deliver lectures on the
marriage regulation.-Kans City

Brolten Bow can boast of a city
park menagerie. It's pet squirrels - I
rels are the cutest and smartest
little creatures on earth. , While
the tired pedestrian sits on t.he
grass or perches himself upou a
bench to rest , the little animals
are goingthroug'lt his pockets in
5earch of nuts , candy and other
confections. One large squirrel ,
who is well known hy a11 park
visitors , becomes quile indignant I
when you try to brush him aside. .
and wi1l show fig-bt when chastised -
tised fot' his lighto.fingered habit.
