redemption , two $1.0007-30 notes of the Iss
of June 15 , ISfij. The portions making t
presentation were a business firm of Loul
villa , Ky. Upon examination the notes we
found to be counterfeits , being a part of
very largo ii ue of counterfeit notes will
appeared In tlio principal bond niarkc
about 1865 and 1SC7. The Imitation of t
Kinulnca \ > o crmpleto that many of t
principal dealers In United States securltl
purchased them freely and only discover
that they had been victimized when t
notes were thrown out by the authorltl
at Washington. The loss to bankers a :
dealers through this counterfeit amount
probably to asveral hundred thousai

"Kvcry lew days we heat of the starting

which were clcoed utder the Wilson blil.
I think , however , that In nopect to the
woolen Industry , nome lime will ilopjo
before the prosperous llinea under ( ormcr re

IB due to UMJ tact thai when It became evi
dent to the Importers that there would he a
charm- the tariff , they laid In vast HtcKikn ,
and are handling them at the present time.
It will Hike a eoiMldcrable period for thU
stock to hccome exhausted. On th ! account
the home mllla will nut hu running full
force until the ilemecid for' their product
liccomm greater than at present. The for
eign stock being once depleted , however ,
you will see every mill In New England run
ning full time , for the present tariff la
approximately 20 per cent higher upon moit
woolen artlclt i < than under the Cleveland
adm'alstration.
"Our own state has made a most excel

the period up to July 1. The report sent out
by the mercantile agencies not long ago In
which It was shown that the state hud liqui
dated J28.000.UOO of ltd mortgage Indebted

Senator Allen returned yesterday from
his trip to Washington , and seemed -very ,
much pleased with the result of his cfforti
In behalf of the cattle industry of this state.
Ho said : "I don't believe there is any ques
tion but that the- cattle trail asked for from ,
the Department of the Interior will be
granted. The opening will have to b
accomplished through a treaty with tha
Indians , but with the consent of the depart
ment for a basis to work upon thU will not
be dltflcult to obtain. A meeting has been
called for August 26 , on the reservation , at
which time the matter will be decided. It Is
not altogether Improbable that the depart
ment will advise the Indians to make tha
treaty. There will be a small compensation
In it to them , which will pay the expanses
of having Indian police aeomnany the stock
along the trail to prevent the Indian cattla
from nrixlng with the others. The highest
rate charged , I think , for the use of these
trails , la 10 cents a head , and we may get
a better contract than that.
"The proposed trail will be wholly upo
the Rcaebud agency , and will be about olxtf
miles long and five miles wide. If estab
lished. It will bo marked by mounds along
the way. U Is estimated that It will tak
cattle about from four to five days to b
driven across the reservation. The southern ,
terminus of the trail will be near Cody , tbl
jtate. The country through which the trail
will pass Is well watered and lasy for tin
cattle to Journey over.
"I also Interviewed the Agricultural depart
ment with a view to having the force ot
mlerrscoplsts at the South Omaha packing
houses Increased , " added Senator Allen , "anil
obtained the piomtee that an cddltion of six
or seven of tueae oinctala would be put at
work at once. That will Increase the forsn
to about fifteen , which U ample for the
present di.mands. "

Sllle. Clco de Merode U the most discussed
woman In Paris. The boulerardlers never
seem to tire of expatiating upon her beauty
of face and figure , of her marvelous dancing
and her conqucsu over kings and princes
and nobles. Lest winter he took the Prix
de Beautc , and her pictures sell more rapIdly -
Idly than any other * along the boulevards.
She Is a distinctly different type from the
usual Paris favorite. She Is slender ana
delicately formed , -with the face of a Ma
donna , and great , sad , solemn eyes that
might belong to a nun , they are so demure.
This sort of thing Is. of course , a novelty ,
and accounts for the admiration of the
Parisians. When the young person rides la
the Avenue des Acacias her carriage Is fol
lowed by admiring eyes and her coatuma
the next day is described by the journals.
Like most Parlslennea , she has taken to
bicycling , but wears a very neat , modest
little skirt and a severe tailor bodice. ll.r :
mode of wearing her hair over her ears a la
liottlcclll has been copied the world over ,
but It Is becoming to very few. The re
port once spread about the boulevards that
La Merode bad no cars , and co wore her
hair drawn down to cover the disfiguration.
Hut the next day in the Bols the beiutlful
danscusu appeared with her hair drawn up ,
displaying the prettiest pair of llttlo piulc
ears Imaginable.
