Ths counterfeiting of Undo Sara's money bld fair to become a lost art In tho near futuro This In tho prospective result of one of tho most ingenious plans for criminal punUhmcnt over devised, a project which can In all probability bo carried Into exo cutlon within the next year. This scheme for checkmating for good and nil tho clover Imitators who have been forging tho na tional coin and currency has been In formu lation for some tlmo past and will assume definite- ihapo when nt the next session of congress John E. Wilkle, tho chief of the United State secret service, asks the na tional legislature t0 nact an habitual crim inal law which can be applied to counter feiters and coiners. To put It In a nutshell, this now law will provide fhat'upoh a second convic tion for tho crime of counterfeiting fire ysars shall ho added to the sentence Im posed by the judge. To the Judge's sen tence Upon n third conviction ten years will be added and for the fourth conviction Imprisonment for life will be Imposed. In tho Under World the ultimate cupturo 6f the counterfeiter Is regarded as one of thono certainties, which, In tho tnno of tljt) avcrago citizen, aro limited to taxes And death, and but for tho. leniency of Judges In certain sections of tho country the bus) new of "shoving tho queer" would have been brohen up yearn ago. There Is on4 district In which It has been the custom of tho federal judge1 to let tho averago coun terfoltur. off with a reprimand, whllo old offenders have seldom been sentenced to morn than six month!) In Jail. In some of the other districts comparatively light fines have been Imposed mid to u really success ful counterfeiter this Is, of course, tlio preferable mode of punishment, for In his eyes It virtually amounts to a slmplo di vision of the spalls, and sometimes a very unequal one, Tho habitual criminal law will revolutionize thoso conditions, as the judges will be compelled to Inflict the designated punishment, whether or not they desire to. Sreret Service Worlt. For all that they havo buun working, us has been explained, against somewhat heavy odds, the secret service officers bavo suc ceeded In recent years In forcing a great curtailment of counterfeiting operations, They have done this by quadrupling tho forces of detectives In the districts where the Judges have bt-en prouu to show leni ency and keeping so close a watch on sus picious persons that offenders can be ar rested almost Immediately when thoy take up the manufacture of bogus money. As an Indication of the passing of tho counter feiter It may be noted that whereas ft dec ade ago' the discoveries of tho counter feits aggregated from twenty-live to forty every year, but four were discovered. Whllo the passage of the habitual criminal law for counterfeiters will not leave the detect ives of the secret service without an oc cupation by any means, It will largely limit the field of their activity, Blnce tho shrewd est and trickiest criminals will perforce be. obliged to abandon this, field of activities. Doubtless this will be sincerely regrotted by lovers of the picturesque, for there, has been In American criminal history nothing more fascinatingly dramatic than somo of the exploits of the sleuths of tho secret service In running down countorfolters al most as quick-witted as thcmsclvoa, Tho principle 'on which the eccrct service Is conducted Is that Uncle Sam never grows weary In the pursuit of a,' person, who has defrauded him. There was a case several years ago In which n secret servlqo man followed a criminal back and forth across the continent threo times bofore finally ar resting him, although tho aggregate amount Involved In the crime was. but (5. Officers of the secret service make between COO and 1,000 arrests every year; every accomplice concerned even; In the remotest degree In a crime bolng apprehended. A 11 u ii to the Denth. One thing which contributes very ma terially to the efficiency of the, secret serv ice is found In the fact that the operatives have practically unlimited resources at their commaud with which to meet any cxponso which may ho Incurred, State or Municipal,, Authorities may drop a enso It they find tbo cxpenso account; mounting up Into tho thousands of, dollars, but the' secret service never.

In tho majority of Important cases, to be n long one, for of all branches of rrlmo tho manufacture of spurious money enlists tho most ingenious and persistent criminals. One nt tho most daring counterfeiting en terprises In tho history of the country, the creation of spurious $1,000 government bonds, Is recalled by tho recent release from prison of William B. Ilrockwuy, now more than SO years old, who was tho ringleader In the scheme, Urockway had four confeder ates, nil expert counterfeiters. When the men wero arrested nearly a quarter of a million dollars In tho counterfeit notes was found In the valise carried by one of them. ABSOLUTE SECURITY. Genuine Carter's Little Liver Pills.

QUKt IOK HEADACHJK. Urockway knew that the secret service men were far more anxious lo secure the plates and presses used In producing the counter feits than to convict the criminals, and he alorto knew the location of the parapher nalia used In the production of the imi tation bonds, so ho proposed to the officials that he bo released In return for disclos ing the whereabouts of the plates, and this was finally ng-ecd to. Nearly two dozen plates In nil were captured and Drockway was nover brought to trial for his part In the attempted swindle. Tho anxiety of the secret service to se cure and destroy the utensils used In the production of counterfeits Is well founded, since with an outfit of this kind Intact a counterfeiter can commence operations Immediately upon his release from prison, whereas his plant, once destroyed, cannot bo replaced without months of labor and considerable exponsc. In the case of Urockway. the destruction of his plant did not deter him from further attempts to defraud. Ho was a truly splendid work man. He reproduced only notes and bonds of high denominations and so perfect were they that It was wellnlgh Impossible for experts to detect them. Indeed, the se cret service officials declare that many of tho plates engraved by Rrockway were as excellent as those turned out for the government nt the bureau of printing and engraving and in a few eases actually surpassed the government plates In perfec tion of workmanship. Of course, a man capable of such work as this could make a large Income In a legitimate lino of busltiess, but counter feiting seems to be ti sort of mania, the fascination of which those who have once gone Into It cannot resist. There are now serving sentences ih prisons In va rious parts of tho country a number of tho most skillful engravers In the business, any one of whom could, on his release, make an ..excellent living without fear of the law, yet the detectives who have made n study of thorn say that It Is mor ally certain that almost every ono of these men will go to counterfeiting again the moment they nrc released. Wnrlt fur Star Men, To cope with men of this caliber tho secret sorvlco requires agents of a high class of courage and ability. The "star men" of the service aro known, among criminal hunters, as "ropers" and to be successful at roping calls for about as wide a .rnngo of talent combined with sheer nerve nnd propensity for hard work as any other occupation on tho globe. Tho work of (tho "roper" lb to Ingratlato himself Into the confidence of the coun terfeiting gang against which he Is gath ering ovldence, and actually join them In thotr unlawful enterprise. Unless the se cret service, can place somo man on tho "luhldo" of every case In this manner the olflclals can never bo absolutely certain that they have captured th man who has been actually maklngf the counterfeits, the most' Important matter next to securing possession of the paraphernalia. One of the, most brilliant pieces of "In side" secret service work which stands to the credit of the United States officials was that In connection with what Is known as the Philadelphia-Lancaster counterfeiting conspiracy. This gigantic plot to flood the country with $10,000,000 In counterfeit notes was evolved by two business men, aided by two expert engravers, none of them hav ing any previous criminal history and all being highly respected In the communities In which they lived. The combination ap parently conducted a legitimate engrav ing business, and even whon suspicion was dlreot'ed against the men, so excessive were tho precautions exercised that the "rop ing" operation could bo conducted but slowly, and then only with the greatest diffi culty. The coup which finally enabled the se cret service men to gain admission to tho "ralll'V was-one of the. neatest ever do vlsed; -A .young detective was entailed lo geO.,chummy. with the office boy employed by tho counterfeiters, who was not, of course, aware of the character of the work going on In the "back room." The service man learned that the boy wanted to be an actor and offered to get him a Job. When the' youngster called at a downtown hotel as requested ho was taken Into a, room to try..W a gorgeous pair of tights, While ho was changing the secret service workers took the keys from his pockets, quickly made a copy of the one Yale key on thp ring and returned the bunch to Its place before the lad returned to tho room With tho key thus secured the criminal huntors made nocturnal explorations of the engraving establishment and secured the cvtdcnco which brought tho gang to Justice.

Nebraska Artesian Wells Tho traveler in easUrri South Dakota nnd Nebraska Is always duly Impressed by the powerful flowing wells met with throughout this magnlflcont area. The con ditions hero seem to be favorablo for ar tesian water and wherever the general level Is (educed by suoh rivers as the James and the Missouri gushing wells seem a certainty, It drilled to a detyth varying from 500 to 1,000 feet or more. The shales and limestones of the Carboniferous period form an underlying, Impermeable stratum throughout this region. Upon theso thero rests a bed of 300 to 400 feet of very permeable sand of tho Dakota cretaceous. These are the finest water bearing beds of the plains, and they aro cased iu above, even more cffoctually than below, by 1,000 to 2,000 feet of water-tight cretaceous shales (chiefly Pierre) and bad land clays (ollgocenc). Tho beds are so tipped that there Is a difference of several thousand feet betweon the eastern edge, where the great fountains occur, and the western edge, or the fountain head. In tho Hooky mountain uplift, of which tho Black Hills Is but the most eastern spur, the western edge Is thrust upward to an elovatlon of 5,000 to 6,000 feet higher than the eastern edge. The upturned odges of all of these beds are exposed along the eastern flank of the Rocky moun tains, ready to catch the falling rains, melting snows and tho mountain streams, On the lower levels, then, where this water-bearing cretaceous Is struck, flow ing wells are so certain that to bore for water seems like tapping a water main. 'When thore' Is no friction or leakage the head would be equivalent to that of a column of water several thousand feet high. Hence, In spite of mechanical lossos due to friction, etc., and to the natural escape of the water through leakage, a high pressure Is to bo expected and Is fully realized In the great wells which THE OMAHA A MARVEL OF THE CENTURY Kimarkiblt Piat of Makiig Fonr Modirn Lccomotlvn ii a Daj, AN IMMENSE WORK QUICKLY DONE A Gllmpae of the Orent Tlnldnln Shop nt I'lillmlcliililn Various I'ro c(n from I'lnna to Com pleted Mnclilne. Building a locomotive In a day at one establishment, from the raw material to the completed engine ready to couple up to a train of cars, is a feat that few people, if they stop to think about It, will regard as being within the possibilities. Nevertheless, It Is a fact. At the Daldwln Locomotive works, Philadelphia, 1,200 finished locomotives arc turned out every year, tncredlblo as this may appear, tho power of four locomotives Is actually added every day In the year by this one company to the sum total of the efficient motive force of the commercial world. It Is difficult to reallto how there could pos sibly be any demand for such an addition, for locomotives last a long time. It, how ever, seems to show with what great strides the Interchange of commodities must be Increasing. But how Is It done? This Is the natural question, relates tho Philadelphia Tlmos. and hero Is an endeavor to answer It as briefly as may be, after having had oppor tunity to go through the works during the last week In company with Rufus II. San ford and P. C. Craig, two gentlemen thoroughly conversant with all the Intri cacies that enter Into tho construction of the Iron horse. It Is needless to state that to accom plish such a result there must not only bo a plant perfect In every respect, but thero must be efficient workmen, Intelli gent direction and a thorough system. As a means of acquiring the very best workmen tho company has adopted the piecework plan, as by this plan tho men In doing tho snmo thing over and over again attain great proficiency as well as rapidity. All Mnde to Order, It Is, perhaps, not generally known that the Baldwin company builds no special typo of locomotives. Of course, If a loco motive Is ordered without specifications they build one to suit tho purposes for which it Is needed, but in general they only build on tho specifications furnished by the master mechanics of the various railroads or other Industries that have uso for them, ond It Is with the object of correctly carrying out his general pur pose that all their arrangements are made. When specifications for a locomotive are received at tho works they go first to the general office nnd then to the draft Ing room, whero tho drawings are made and whlto prints preparod of all the de tails for distribution to the various shops where the different parts nrc manufac tured. In the drafting room there Is also kept n set of Index books, which refer to the drawings, so that In case at any time a part Is called for the original detail drawing can at onco bo had and the part niado. The system In use which was adopted In 1842 for keeping track of everything, even down to a bolt, Is very complete.

The figures 4, , 8, 10 or 12 are used as Initial figures to Indicate the total number of wheels under a locomotive. A figure or figures following tho Initial figure Indicates the diameter of the cylinder, and a figure or figures following the class letter designates the consecutive class number of the locomotive. Thus 8-26C500 Indicates a locomotive with eight wheels In all, having a cylinder sixteen Inches In diameter, with two pairs of driving wheels and the flvo hundredth In Its class. There are also other numbers which Indicate the diameter of tho high pressure and low pressure cylin ders of compound locomotives. These num bers and letters are placed on all the draw ings and follow all the various parts through the shops so that It is always known from start to finish to what locomo tive every part that Is being made belongs. As soon as each detail Is completed it Is sent to the storeroom and when all the parts for a locomotive have been assembled there they are sent to- the erecting shop, wHere they are put together and the loco motive completed. MnUliiR Rollers nnd Wheels. In going into the works the first shop visited was that devoted to preparing the sheet Iron sheathing for tho boilers, and( though this Is one of the last things used' In erecting a locomotive, .partaking as t does more of the ornamental thai), the use ful, It Is difficult In works of the magni tude of tho Baldwin establishment, where everything goes on together, to say where the actual work of making a locomotive begins. In order, however, to get as near to what may be regarded as the begin ning as the conditions will admit of, it dlschargo large volumes of water and oven suffice to run mills and machlnory. As an examplo of the artesian well serving as an englno of some economic Importance, a better Instance could not be cited, per haps, than that of tho well at Niobrara, in Knox county, Nebraska, which, In ad dition to the work of pumping water and running the dynamos for the town, also drives tho machinery of a 60-foot barrel flour mill. The water flows through a slx-lnqh cas ing Into an unique device called tho "stone catcher," tho object of which Is to arrest pebbles, small bowlders, and stones, which are shot out with sufficient force to dam age tho steel casing and machinery. One such pebble, weighing twenty-two and a half pounds, Is still preserved In Niobrara. From the stone-catcher the water Is con ducted to tho mill, where It strikes the fans of a four-foot Pelton wheel through a one and one-half inch nozzle. It works perfectly, steadily, silently and with no coal or ash to shovel, no engineer and stoker to pay. And, after first costs are met It can be depended on for years of steady service without Involving any ad ditional outlay. In tho event of fire, the full energy of the well Is turned at the first alarm Into tho city mains, and the linemen with hoso have Instant command of the situation. ' Modern cities, boasting of the most ap proved systems, offor no better protection from fire than does this small western town, At night the samo water runs the dynamo and lights of the place besides filling the public reservoir, all of which seems like getting a great deal for noth ing. After the energy of the water s ex pended on the Pelton wheel It flows through a wasteway Into a lakelet and thence finds Its way for three miles by a creditable lit tle stream to the Niobrara river. A city DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, may bo well to depart from the order In which the shops were visited and take up the foundry next. This Is a very large room, a whole square In length, and here they begin with the raw material. A cu pola Is situated In a yard Just outside the shop, Into which the pig Iron Is put with coal nnd the other Ingredients and the resultant molten Iron Is run off through nn orifice, called an eye, which opens Into the shop, Into large bucketlike ladles. These are attached to traveling cranes that convoy them to any part of the shop, where tho Iron Is poured Into molds that havo been prepared for It and the call ings are made. The principal castings made here, although there are Innumerable small ones made atso, are cylinders and castlron driving wheels, the steel driving wheels being purchased outside, in casting tho wheels the molten metal Is poured In at the center, whero the hub Is, and over this a man stands, constantly stirring the metal with a rod, this being done because the metal In runnlnc Into the spokes has a tendency to draw 'away from and weaken tho hub; by constantly agitating It at this point this undesirable result Is voided. The wheels, after being carefully cleaned, are taken to the wheel shop, where they are first prepared for forcing them on the axles. This Is done by placing them on rotating tables, where the hubs are faced and bored out with great accuracy and a key-way slotted In. The axles which are being turned and finished at the same' time have a diameter exceeding that of the hub by three-thousandths of an Inch to Inch of axle dlamcteif. When both are ready the axle, after being coated with a lubricant, which Is also used In the hub. Is hung be tween the uprights of the hydraulic press and first one wheel and then the other forced on. Tho wheels are then placed In n 'turning lathe and turned up to receive the tires, which are made of steel, having great tensile strength. These are shrunk on, that Is, they are heated Just enough to produce a sufficient expansion to allow them to go on the wheel .easily, and When on they are subjected to a stream of cold water which .shrinks and binds thorn upon the wheel. The crank pins are then In serted .and the wheels are ready for use. Conversation Is Prohibited. The cylinders, like the wheels, are thor oughly cleaned beforo they leave the foun dry. They are then taken to the cylinder finishing shop, which Is provided with a traveling crane that runs Its whole length, ana put through the various processes that complete them. Now' comes tho boiler shop. Here con versation Is positively prohibited, not by any regulation of the company, but for the reason that It would be useless to attempt It, as what you said could not be heard. In making boilers steel plato Is used. It Is received at the works In various sizes and thicknesses, some plates being over twenty feot long; this longth Is necessary to form the ring for the largo boilers. They are first mado ready for drilling and punching. This Is done by placing them on a table and marking on them in accordance with the detail plan the places where holes are to be made. They arc then taken to the drilling or punching machines by means of an overhead traveling crane, which Is mado posslblo by using separate electric motors to drive the machines, thus relieving the shops of shafting and belting. The holes are punched or drilled while the plates are still flat. Some of these machines are capr.b'c of drilling five or more plates at ths same time. Where this Is done the plates that are Intended for ths barrel of the boiler, are conveyed to the bending machines. These consists threat rolls, operated by electric motors' so arranged that they can bo adjusted to bendlngUne plates to any required diameter, .While this is going on tho .plates, requiring -flanges are taken to' the flanging shop, whlah -Js, equipped, with a hydraulic press-thaw van 'exert a 'maxi mum pressure of 345 tonsMTbe plates are here first heatod In a large furnace. They aro then placed on a' suitable form clamped to ths lower table of the press, a corre sponding form.-havlng bean clamped to the under side of the upper table. The 'lower table Is then raised byr hydraulic power and the entire flange made at one heat. When the flanges are of odd shapes or there are no dies to form them they are made by hand. Department of Brass Work. The bending and flanging having been done, the plates are assembled for rivet ing. This Is done by hydraulic riveters, which aro practically noiseless. When this Is finished the boiler Is in several parts. Theso are now hoisted to the sec ond floor, whero they are riveted together and the boiler completed, after which It Is sent to the erecting shop. A very Interesting department is that devoted, to brass work. To this there Is a foundry attached where the brass is cast into thp numerous contrivances In this rhetat that aro used In the i.construc tlon of a locomotive. These are 'then taken to the finishing shop and completed by a forest of machines adapted to the' various castings: ' The connecting rods are made In a shop set aside for that purpose. They are' made of hammered steel nnd tho machines de voted' to their manufacture aro principally planers and milling machines. ' The steel Is purchased outside and finished up In tho 'shop. This Is also tho cas In Che bolt shop, the bolts being bought In the rough and then turned up and threaded as desired, The frame shop Is n very Important and Interesting one. Hero the frame upon which the boiler resls and by which It Erwin H. Barbour in Scientific American. might ,bo founded on such, a natural re source, for It seems assured that every wheel could be turned by this subterranean store of energy, which can be tapped in definitely and over many square miles of country. Hundreds of these artesian wells are dally put to all sorts of 'commonplace uses, while here and there we find one engaged In work of a novel kind. Ono of these Is the artesian Irrigating plant on the Fergus son farm at Beaver Crossing,' Seward county, Neb,, where nine shallow artesian wells, none of thm over 100 feet deep, make It possible to water 115 acres on shorl notice. The worse the drouth the bettet for tho owner of such a farm. The great test well at Lincoln, 2,463 feet deep, helps to supply water to Salt lake, while the two wells at the sulpho-saltne baths of Lincoln supply water for the great natatorlum of that Institution. In Omaha a series of artesian wells add greatly to the beauty of various parks by supply ing fountains, streams, pools and lakes, the largest of which, seen on the Miller estate, covers somo thirty acres. But of all the utilization of artesian water the most highly commendable and original seems to be that at Pierre, S. I)., where three great wells perform the singular work of sup plying water, natural gas and electricity for the town. The discharge comes to the surface as water, but, paradoxically enough, goes to the consumer as natural gas and electricity. Taking advantage of the discovery made shortly after the completion of the wells, that with the lowering of the pressure as the "water escapes natural gas Is liberated, 'the wells were piped Into suit able retaining tanks and a sufficient quan tity of natural gas. was thus accumulated to supply ths town and run the engines of the electric light plants as well as those of a sixty-horse-power pumping station.
