to play us false."
In ths Counterfeiters' Den.
The evening before lhe beginning of
the insurrection, Lam visited Schiller
and explained to the king that he was
ready to go to work, requesting that
Schiller give him permission to visit
tTTe counterfeiting den. As it was
I'uown that Louis was a printer and
that he would presumably make a
valuable addition to that force, his re-
quest was granted and he obtained
his pass, which he presented at the
door of the "den" very early the next
morning.
Lane was met at the door of the of-
fice by the chief counterfeiter In per-
son, who was none other than Marcus
Milton, one of the shrewdest rascals
ever born. He has been instrumental
In flooding certain districts in the
United States with counterfeit money
to such an extent that "good" money
is thrown out as worthless. It Is es-
timated by experts that he and his
gang have succeeded In placing fully
one million sliver dollars on the mar-
ket that are not known from the gen-
uine, containing full weight metal, but
at a profit of over $500,000. He was
caught In the act and sentenced to
Auburn for thirty years, but managed
to escape. He was engaged at the
present In the. manufacture of $10
notes under the protection of the city.
Milton read the order presented to
him by Lang and very graciously con-
ducted Louis into the "office," where
they chatted together about Chicago
and things in general.
"I am a printer," Bald Louis, "but I
have never seen any bills of the char-
acter of money printed."
"The 'printing' or money," said Mil-
ton, who liked to air his knowledge
about the business, "Is never seen by
any but trusted government officials—
and perhaps no one man sees a bill
•printed' In Its entirety. By 'printing,'
I mean lithographing, the making of
down the machine beside the engrav-
ing of the front of the note upon the
top of the safe, while he reached down
aud began to turn the knob of the safe
to form the combination.
A cannon ball, thrown from a posi-
tion near the right wall of the town,
struck the side of the den; Milton
sprang to hla feet; l<ang ran to the
window. They looked out; the town
was alive wllh people. The convicts
had now been liberated from priaon,
and armed to the teeth were madly
fighting their way towards the king's
mansion and the general supply store,
und some were coming toward the
printing office.
"Quick!" cried Louis; "get the
plate together and get away."
Milton again stooped down to un-
lock the safe. Louis drew his re
volver. Milton thought for the defense
of the plate, but Louis was only wait
Ing to see the door awing back before
engaging in a death struggle for the
possession of the same.
The plate had cost ten Uvea! Would
there be an eleventh? Milton never
would yield the treasure while life
and consciousness remained. The
scene was in ling's favor.
It was the Intention of the convicts
to capture every prominent building
that they could. They arrived at the
door of the printing office demanding
admission.
Louis grew impatient. Ho did not
wish to be seen carrying off the plate.
It had been his intention to make his
escape unnoticed from the rear in the
confusion.
Milton grew nervous. Something
made him hesitate. At the final turn
instead of unlocking, he turned the
lock wrong and quickly sprang to his
feet. Louis saw by the expression of
the man's face that he suspected the
plot, and then came a hand to hand
struggle. Milton hurled himself
against Lang.
"I see It all!" snarled Milton. "This

Louia couldn't guess whether Hawks
vii trying him or not. Things began
to look very blue for him. but he man-
aged to keep calm. "You can think
v hat you like. 1 am a personal friend
to Schiller now. aud to Black Jack I
aiu known as his leader in this revolt.
You are the man who will be held re-
sponsible for the plate, not me!
"Enough of this folly!" Hawls ex-
claimed. "I know who and what you
are! You are a pupil of Jim Denver.
From him I want my life for this plate
-and I get it, or I get your life!
See?"
ljing was dumfounded. This was a l
fix he had not anticipated getting Into.
What was tie best thing for him to do
under the circumstances? "If you
know who I am why don't you give
me the plate, and trust me to protect
vou from him?"
• Because I can't trust you! I want
to see Denver."
I caunot make a bargain with you,
tbea." M1I ,
•Then I march you Into Schiller s
camp as a traitor and a spy." said
Hawks.
Under ordinary circumstances Lang
would have done well to have bought
off Hawks,'but he consider-.! that he
had not implicated himself. Hawks
might or might not be really aware of
the co-partnership existing between
Denver and Lang. I1 would not do to
trust the schemer too tar. So Lnng
refused to comproml- resolving to
risk being brought up before Schiller,
and trusting to be liberated by that
worthy In view of the partnership ex-
isting between them.
The victorious party, after ransack-
ing the office, set off toward the pal-
ace of the king. Whether they meant
really to go to him or to some one who
might now be In charge is only con-
jecture. Half of the town was In
ruins, the walls and several buildings
were quite effectually destroyed, but
the bombardment had ceased. The
convicts had mastered the situation,
and then discovered that they had
been fighting for nothing—after they
gained their freedom. To continue to
demolish and kill would only be to
cripple themselves. They realized,
when olmost too late, that they bad
been made catspaws of by a shrewd
band of conspirators who now were
leaving them to answer for their sins.
Rodgers, Golden and Black Jack, dur-
ing the first melee, had managed to
make their escape unobserved. But
Lang, unfortunately, was left In the
hands of tho mob!

the paper, the numbering, signing, etc.
Here one man does see all; I do For
we have but one press, and but one
steel engraving to work from. The
paper we use here is furnished ?>y a
firm which deals in bogus continental
a ad confederate money. It is the near-
est approach to the real paper that
any one has yet devised. The threads
interwoven In the paper are almost
Identical, save for a peculiar circular,
instead of straight up and down, weave
and the flattened ends, which none but
cxpcrtB can detect.
"1 print the front of the note first,"
said Milton, guiding Lang Into the
press room, "so that should there be
2 flaw In the press work (which Is
different, from engraving)—for in-
stance a. blurred impression-the
printing of the back, which la very
seldom glanced at as critically as the
front, will flatten out the note. Hien
by a process devised by myself, a new
note is made to look as if It were
about a year old. I bave so much
time to myself that I do not care to
print the front and back together.
They are too valuable to run any-
chance of mutilation. While one-half
is on the press the other half I keep
lotked In my private safe. The en-
cravings wore made by Glen Hall, the
die-maker, and cost $10,000 In good
money to produce. It Is the flneBt
•tool' outside the government office to-
day. It bas cost ten lives to keep
from the authorities so far."
Thus far Into the morning none of
the counterfeiters had deported to
work. Lang and Milton were startled
by hearing the discharge of cannon.
Milton very hastily took tho plate off
the press and ran with It Into his of-
fice, closely followed by I>«ng. Milton
became suspicious immediately, but
be tried not to show any alarm-he
scarcely dared to think there was a
plot on foot.
I ooldng out through the grated win-
dow of his office Milton saw tho troops
getting ready to fire upon the walls
anil government buildings.
"A riot!" he exclaimed. "Guard the
pinto while I bring In the numbering
machine," nnd he left the plate with
T*ng while he ran Into the pressroom
and brought In the numbering ma-
chine. "This little machine Is what
makes our bills Rood." he added. "If

ing the bills they would be easily de-
tected. The system of numbering Is
more Intricate lhan the signing which
Is very easy of Imitation when you
hnow how." While talking Milton !«!✓
is a plot to rob me of the plate!
Is now your death or mine!"
Even when the final struggle came
Lang did not like to kill Milton. Time
and time again as the combatants,
locked in each other's embrace, wrig-
gled and turned and bit and clawed,
scuffled around the room, Lang tsied
to hit his foe upon the head with the
butt end of his revolver, but each time
Milton parried the blow.
Milton was a strong man, but his
work, although not confining, had
made him slow of action. He was
possessed of but one thought, that of
killing Louis, though in doing so he
gave up bis own life.
The convicts had heard the scuffle
on the inside; they grew tired of wait-
ing for a reply to their summons, and
brought a battertng ram to play upon
the door, shattering the door Into
fragments.
The combatants on the Inside had
managed to throw themselves out of
harm's way and Milton had Louis
pinned up against the wall, slowly
squeezing the wind out of our hero.
Up to this time Louis had refrained
from trying to kill Milton. The time
for desperate action arriving. Louis
thrust the gun against the counter-
feiter's breast and pulled the trigger.
His antagonist fell to the floor, with-
out a murmur, just as the convicts
sprang across the threshold.
The convicts, under the leadership
of Bill Hawks, rushed upon Louis anil
in a moment disarmed him. No pro-
testation by Loult that he was one of
them avaiied him; the convicts
seemed assured that ho was an enemv
and proceeded to tie his hands behind
his back. The leader of the gang in
the meantime knelt down before the
safe and proceeded to oren the same.
First he took his knife and cut a
gash in tho index finger of his right
hand, to attempt to feel when the
combination struck the right clink.
For shout a minute Hawks worked at
the safe, turning the knob very slowly.
At last he seemed io have Etrtick the
right combination, and In a jiffy he
guessed two numbers which to him
seemed to fit the (list combination,
and strange to say opened the safe
Bill Hawks, the Bufo cracker, was a
very superior gentleman In that line.
Bill Hawks, we may say. was no
fool. He knew Just what he was do-
ing when he went after the plate. "I

A Lucky Awkwardness.
An old, steady-going farmer was ac-
customed to ride to the market town
upon a rather bad tempered horse.
One day his boy Bob brought the an-
imal, who was especially vicious that
morning, round to the door, and held
him by the bridle while waiting for
the farmer to come out.
The horse tried to bite and kick the
lad, and gave him a good deal of
trouble, but at last the farmer ap-
peared, mounted the horse with some
difficulty and began walking It out of
the yard. Then Bob, who still enter-
tained ill-feeling against the animal,
caught up a stone and flung it at him
with all his force; but, alas! his aim
was erratic and the missile struck
his master on the back of the head.
Half-dazed for a moment, the farm-
er turned slowly round In his saddle,
and, never suspecting the real cause
of the blow, he measured with his eye
the distance from the horse's hind
hoofs to his own head, and, sett ed
himself in the saddle again, started
his mount Into a trot with the re-
mark; ,
"Well, he always was a awkward
beggar."

tor for the postoffice department is
always interesting as showing the
growth In business of the various
cities and towns In the country, and
is second only to a United States ct u-
sus report in showing the relative
standing and Importance of such
places. The report of the auditor for
the fiscal year ending June :10, 1M*.,
shows that there are now twelve towns
In Oklahoma and tho Indian Territory

City makes the greatc.-t gatu. her re-
ceipts equaling those of Galveston.
Texas, for the fiscal y^ar, nnd will ex-
ceed Galveston very materially for the
calender year now closing. Muskogee
has passed Guthrie, and Enid has
passed Shawnee in the race. Alva and
Tulsa have stepped up into the better
than $10,000 class. The receipts ot
Oklahoma City are considerably larg-
er than the combined receipts ot the
next four largest towns in Oklahoma
Territory, or the four largest towns in
tho Indian Territory, but not quite
equal to those of the four best towns
picked from both territories

on this paper asked O'Sullivan why he

O'Sullivan said: "Substitution is a
snake in the grass; one of the meanest
things you have to deal with." How-

that it works disaster to the other fel-
low. „
"True enough, old man. said the
sub; "only last night a friend and I,

good for the cause of statehood. Some
dissatisfaction was expressed regard-

WASHINGTON: The attorney gen-

tirade public, recommends the enact-
ment of a law to correct the jury situ-
"tlon In Oklahoma and Indian Terrl-
trry, brought about by Judge Phlllpp's

valid. The measure proposed Is in
substantially the following terms, and
to Horace Speed of Guthrie:
"That until the termination of the
sessions of tho next legislature of
Oklahoma Territory, and while Okla-
homa continues to be a territory, or
until the legislature thereof shall
otherwise provide, any grand jury and
any petit Jury selected, drawn and im-
paneled according to the mode of pro-
cedure of tho commoa law. or iu sub-

Important decision which will mater-

congress enacted a law which barred
the children of Osage women married
to white men from being placed on
the rolls or participating In any or
the Osage payments. All applications
for the enrollment of such children
have hitherto been denied, but this
week the law firm of Leahy & Scott
received word that their application
for the enrollment of eight Osage
children belonging to that class has
been approved by the department.
While the order .4ust made applies only
to the children specifically named In

quences of It are followed out, abont
