LOOK OUT FOR BAD FIVE CASE Vncle Kan Says Another One of His Vs Is Being- Misrepresented. The secret service department of the Treasury department has Bent out an alarm that a new and dangerous counter feit $5 sliver certificate has appeared. The counterfeit Is a photo-mechanical re production of the certificate of the act of August 4, 1886, series 1899, check let ter "A," face plate 652, back plate 493. J. W. Lyons register, Ellis II. Huberts treasurer, with portrait of Indian chief. Serial number A41823133. The appearance of the note Is deceptive. It Is printed on two pieces of paper, with silk fibers between. Seal and denomina tional design and serial number is lighter than in the genuine. The printed face of the note is one-eighth of an inch and the back one-fourth of an Inch shorter than the genuine. The word "treasurer" In Italics under the signature of Roberts Is badly printed and the letters are im perfectly formed. The gineral crows hatching of the note is badly broken and somewhat coarser than In the genuine. On the back of the note the words, "This note is not receivable," are badly repro duced, the lines broken and the letters Imperfect. The word "Five" on the back of the note, immediately to the right of the panel containing the words 'United States of America," are imperfectly re produced. Vnder the first "A" in Amer ica in the genuine there Is a small un shaded space, but in the counterfeit this space Is entirely filled. The shading un der the words "United States of America" look like a picket fence In bad repair in stead) of being regular, with lines run ning all the way from the dark sharing to the bottom of the panel.

Ellis, president of the Missouri River Navigation congress and member of the rivers and harbors committee of the house, that there will be no rivers and harbors bill t the present session. Writing to an Omaha newspaper man who Is making a report on the river. Con gressman Ellis makes the statement that none of the rivers will get attention at the short session, and Mr. Ellis himself has sailed for Panama, where he will spend several weeks, supposedly In con nection with harbors there. Mr. Ellis waa defeated In the Kansas City district and will not be returned to congress next year, though he has been working on plans for two years to get ap propriations through congress which would make the Missouri river a permanent com mercial waterway, seize it as a big enter prise such as the Panama canal and com plete tbe work of making it a real water way from Fort Benton, Mont., to the Gulf of Mexico. Omaha Men Still Hope. But even the defeat of the Missouri con gressman, who has been one of the most active workers for river Improvement, has not discouraged those in Omaha who be lieve tho river should and will be opened and that federal money to the extent of some t50,0ti0 per mile will eventually be expended on the stream. Montana has taken up the ' work for the river, and, though that great state has but one con gressman, it has power, and the Montana Waterways association has been organized for the purpose of "staying with congress" on the Missouri river matter. When Congressman Ellis returns from Panama he Intends going to work at once for the success of the next Missouri River Navigation congress, which is to be held at Yankton. During the year many local organizations of the congress have been formed and will send delegates to Yankton. Omaha has a local branch of 450 members, and these extend all along the river to Fort Benton, where, in a small town, over twenty-two ranchers, business men, wool growers and cattlemen have declared for the opening of the river and Its absolute necessity to get the products out of the state of Montana.

"Yes, I'm a bishop of the Afro-American Methodist church, and they will have lo prove I ain't," he continued warmly. When asked how much money he had collected In Omaha, he said he had no Idea how much It would amount to.

Thirty-six managers and salesmen of the Midland Glass and Paint corvpany picked up a menu card In tho olive room of Hotel Rome Wednesday evening and, expecting some kind of a starter for a big "spread" glvji by F. W. Judson, they found In stead of tomato soup on the card, "red seal filler." Then they went on down the list and found about where the wine should come in, the name "Lcptyne." According to paint salesmen, "leptyne" Is a certain preparation of turpentine, handled by the Midland Glass and I'r.lnt company, and while it might be good for a small boy before breakfast, the gurats wondered whether they were to bo given a grandmother's cure for a certain trouble of youthful pneumagastrlo nerves, or whether the firm's brand had been ap lied to Burgundy.
