BAD BILLS CIRCl'LATING.
tounterfeltors Busy In Different Pat
' of tlm Country.
Counterfeiters In several parts i
the country have been busy durlr
the winter and recently efforts of the
work have Just appeared In the mat
et. Notification of three new Bpur
)us notes have been received by th
reasury department officials In Por.
land.
One of them is a $20 gold certlf
ate and while It is a good represer
atlon of the original Issue by Unc.
iam, the color Is a little off, the coin
erfelter not being particular regari
ng the Ink, the result being that h:
new bill Is the shade of a nice rlt
emon Instead of the orange shade I
tho genuine bills.
This new bill turned .up In Nc
York. It is remarkably well done, th
counterfeiter having paid partlcule
ittention to nearly all the minor d
alls except the color. The bill wb
lone by means of photo etched plate:
vfterward given Impressions on tw
4heet of paper with silk threads bi
tween.
Another of tho recent bills first wa
llscovered In southeastern Missouri
Mid was evidently tho work of fnrme
boys who tired of following the plov
ind doing chores about the old home
stead, had decided to get rich quid
ind live with ease without working.
Uncle Sam will attend to the question
of meals and beds for the young men
if they are caught
This note is a particularly crude af
fair of the national bank note of the
$10 denomination. It Is also the re
sult of photo etched plates and the
Ink being rough and carelessly han
diod. It la a Door imitation. An
other note which has recently ap
peared Is that of a sliver certificate of
the Indian head variety.
