Up to Tuesday night eight of the
spurious $10 bills were found in this
city in various business houses. On
the arrival of Detective Forsythe and
B. N. Brooks, the latter one of the j
fisest experts in the service of the
treasury department, a systematic
search was made and already three j

Shawnee merchants were fleeced. This

made at Muskogee and other towns'
In the two territories. The shovers of
the queer were evidently frightened
out before they finished their work. |
The secret service men are work-
ing at their best gait In the endeavor
to locate the counterfeiters, and be-
lieve they have the men spotted. It
is only a question of a little time until
the arrests will be made.

New Year's Dinner.
The Christian church ladles are mat-
ing preparations to give a New Years
dinner at the tabernacle, on the corner
of Broadway and Tenth.
The ladles are deserving of great
praise in the style and manner which
they gave their Thanksgiving dinner,
and 'tis said that the New Year's din-
ner will surpass it.
There are now about six hundred
members of the Christian church here,
and they have progressed most won-
derfully since Rev. Waugh has been
in the city, and it Is the aim of the
minister and the members to cultivate
friendship and have everybody reel at
home in the Big Tabernacle.

Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 29.—Various
matters of interest to the men and the
company are to be taken up for consid-
eration in a meeting of the joint pro-
tective board of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen for the Rock Is-
laad system and the officials of that
road to be held at the Coates house
commencing today. Homer Fairmon,
of Herrington, a member of the fire-
men's board, arrived yesterday. Oth-
ers, representing both the railroad and
the employes, are expected here today.
One of the requests being made by
the men is a shorter working day lim-
it. They want to be relieved from
duty at the end of sixteen hours' ser-
vice and not be called again for work
until they have had eight hours' rest.
This is the law in some of the states
and territories traversed by the Rock
Island, but not so in all of them. The
men. say that of recent months, while
the traffic has been heavy, they have
beea obliged to stay at their posts
sometimes more than twenty-four-
hours at a stretch. This, they claim
Is more than should be expected of
them. They say they are not only
worn out by the long hours, but that
they are really unfitted to be in the
service when thus exhausted. Com-
plaints have been made by them on
account of the service between Kan
sas City and Topeka on the Rock Is
land-Union Pacific line. Betterments
have been under way there for many
months and during this time almost
endless delays have come to trains.
This has made it necessary for the
engine and train crews to take sidings
often with their trains and to remain
there In order to facilitate the genernl
movement of business. This, of course,
has rendered their hours a good deal
longer than would have been the
case had the alterations not been un-
der way.
The Joint hoard has been in session
with officials of the system for two
months previous to the holidays

night that there was no demand being
made for higher wages, and that it was
believed all the things sought by the
men would be granted by the company.
Since the sessions began the Rock
island has granted already a number
of minor concessions to the men.

for the meetings are John J. Hanna-, Washington, Dec. 29. I lie house

the sentiment there is opposed to re-

the contention being that it would be

The decision was given by Justice
Leventritt in the case of Archibald
C. Newburn, accused of having forged
the name of Geo. E. Whltcomb to a
railroad ticket. Whitcomb was the
original purchaser of this ticket and
sold it to Newburn. The ticket was
for a round trip between New York and
Indianapolis over the New York Cen-
tral, Big Four and .Lake Shore roads.
Newburn was arrested here when he
signed Whitcomb's name to the ticket
and Judge Leventritt held that the
mere sale of the ticket carried with
it the purchaser's right to sign to it
the name of the man from whom he
bought It.

The number of accidents this year
