Following the cashing of several checks
in this city, J, C. Burn, who worked here
for soma time aa a paper hanger, passed a
worthless oheok in Chicago for 910, It
being received by a local bank her yester
day. Burk or Burton, aa some of his friends
her knew him, was unusually cool while
pulling off hla clever trick and It la sup
posed that this and the fact that hla check
was sufficiently large to be deemed a pro
tection made the Chicago bankers to relax
their usual vigilance and cash the paper.
Efforts to locate Burton have been unavail
ing. The police have sent his description
to all of the large cities.

Jofcnsoa's Body for Demonstration.
Home of the colored people of Lincoln
object to the use of the body of Thomas
Johnson aa a subject for a private demon
stration In embalming before the Nebraska
State Fuheral Director' association. John
son was hanged at the penitentiary for
murder, and as he was without funds
hla body wa taken charge of by Major
Moore and other colored people of Unooln,
who promised to give it proper burial.
Otherwise the body would have to be sent
tera "msdjeal "aJlre for dissection ' The
body will be used for a private demonstra
tion In embalming and will then be burled
by the State Funeral Directors associa
tion. Mr. Moore believes this arrangement
la much better than to turn the body over
