THE COUNTERFEIT STAMPS.
Something More About .The Spurious
Cigar Stamps.
Deputy Internal Revenue Col-
lectr Bovee intended to go to
Laredo this morning to investi-
gate a report that a large number of
counterfeit stumped eigars were in
that city but be was informed that
quarantine restriction's would prevent
his return easily and he postponed the
trip. He is also deslrious of visiting
some of the other towns In his dis-
trict which comprises about 36
counties on the border. To make one
trip over the entire district he would
travel about 1300 miles by stage and
t.lte same number by railroad.
Mr. Bovee is preparing to take ac-
tion on the seized cigars now in his
possession and will announce his ap-
praisers if nothing is beard soon from
Washington in regard to the relief
of the merchants from whom they
were seized. A Light reporter was
shown these counterfeit stamps this
morning and found them to be excell-
ent. They are printed on a lighter
tint of blue paper than the genuine
however and the engraving appears
to be deeper lined.
The reason this company was not
detected in counterfeiting sooner was
the fact that it bought stamps neces-
sary for its business from the regular
revenue collectors to throw them off
the scent and then sold the good
stamps at a slight discount to small
dealers using the spurious stamps on
their own goods.

MISSOURI TORNADO
LIST OF DEAD SWELLED TO
FORTY-NINE.
Two Town-- Almost Wiped Away A
Famous College Suffers Severely
Fire Aided Terror and Disaster.
Kirksville Mo.. April 28. Kirks
ville is a scene of desertion and suf-
fering as the result of last evening’s
tornado. Maliy dead ami dying peo-
ple remaim'd in the rrtlns of their
homes during the night. Others who
had been found and taken to places
of shelter died liefore morning. A
small army of doctors from the Os-
teopathy college students and citi-
zens. spent the dark hours in a cease-
len hunt for the unfortunates. The
dead were carried away to a secluded
spot to be cared for until the needs
of the Injured count be satisfied. All
night lanterns darted here and there
among the debris answering some cry
for help or directed by the sight of
some struggling form fighting to es-
cape from a place of imprisonment.
Here-and there tires that soon started
after the tornado passed which were
allowed to burn sent up a bright glow
and lent aid to the rescuers. It is
possible these same tires incinterated
some victims who could not be
readhell and only a day seardi can re-
veal the true slate of affairs.
The morning broke bright and
lieautiful over the area of destruction
and found the chaos of the night slow-
ly taking system.
The same scenes could be told of
Newton in Sullivan county. which
shared a like fate from the tornado.
Days must pass before a complete
list of casualities can be secured and

to property wil Ibe known. Kirks-
viM is the county seat of Adair county
and has a population of five thousand.

Colleges are located here. The town
is iiest kmJwn through the teachings
of the American school of Oestopathy.
Persons afflicted with many different
diseases flock to Kirksville to be
treated and it is among the students
and patients’ quarters that the most
ruin is wrought. The town is locat-
ed in an agricultural region and lis
reached by ihe Wabash and Quincy.
Omaha and Kansas City railroad.
Newton is a small town of UOo in-
habitants in Sullivan county forty
miles north of Kirksville. The lat-
est details show the list of known

SUE FOR PEACE
But Otis Replied he Did Not Recog
nize Any Filipino Authority.
Manila Aprail 28.-6:25 p. in.—The
Filipino advances for peace are fruit-
less. Colonel Manuel Argueleses aud
Lieutenant .lose Bernal who came
into general MsArtbur’s lines under a
flag of truce told General Otis that
representative of General Luna who
had been requested by Aguinaldo to
ask Gen. Otis for a cessaiton of hos-
tilities in order to allow time for
summoning the Filipino congress
which body would decide whether the
people wanted peace. General Otis
replied he did not recognize the ex-
istence of any Filipino government
There will lie another conferenc* e
morrow.
M' KIN LEY t ’ONG R ATI L ATES.
Philadelphia. April 28.—Immediate-
ly upon receiving from Washington
Ihe dispatch from General Otis. Pres-
ident McKinley sent the following
message of congratulation to the
soldiers in the Philippines.
Philadelphia. Otis. Manila Your
message of announcement of the
achievements of McArthur’s division
and the proposal by the insurgentts
of a suspension of Iwrstilities is most
gratifying. Convey to the officers
and men my heartfelt congratulations
and gratitude for their signal gal-
lantry and triumph.
(Signed! WM. M’KINLEY.
Washington. D. <’.. April 28.—The
news from General Otis came just at
the Isiginniug of the official day here.
A feeling of profound relief is ex-
pressed on al Isldes for during the
last three days officials have been
much depressed by reports that came
from the front. It is Mieved the
Filipino generals simply wish to
avoid direct responsibility for the sur-
render which is Inevitable and are
asking for time in order that their
eongres may assume the responsibili-
ty. It is said rhe Filipino congress
can be speedily got together for Chis
purpose and thus save the pride of
Aguinaldo. The bravery of the
American troops is highly commend-
ed. It is stated at the War Depart-
ment that Colonel Funsten would se-
cure a brigadier’s commission as a
reward for service in the various en-
gagements culminating in the daring
and her die feats of yesterday.

of the War Department.
The Belknaps and Zouaves who
were mustered out at Galveston are en-
titled to some more money and Cap-
tain R. H. Patterson the chief muster-
ing officer through bis clerk requests
the Light to state that they can re-
ceive same by addressing a letter to
the auditor of the War department .en-
closing their discharge certificate. The
money will then be immediately forth-
coming. The money to which they
are entitled is the twenty per cent war
increase which was cut off on the fin-
al payment. Captain Patterson receiv-
ed notice that it had been cut off on
March 10 and therefore paid off the
first four companies mustered out—E.
F. G and M at the thirteen-dollnr per
month rate.
Hardly had he done this than he was
advised that the stoppage of the twen-
ty per cent war increase would not be
construed as applying to regiments be-
ing mustered out and tbe last eight
companies received pay at the rate of
$15.60 per month. Therefore the first
four companies mustered out are en-
titled to their twenty per cent increase
and can get same by following the
above instructions— addressing their
request to the auditor of tbe War de-
partment and enclosing discharge cer-
tificate.
The letter should not be addressed to
Captain Patterson and does not have

BAD BUYS ATTEMPT TO WRECK
A PASSENGER TRAIN

Quick Work of Engineer Nave Pre-
♦
vented the Wreck—News of the Rail-
roads. j i
’ Ttl
Last night ns Southern Pacific pas-
senger train No. 17 was pulling tn
from Mexico with engine No. 629 and
Engineer Dick Nave at the throttle
it ran into a switch just south of tbe
depot and but for the quick work of
the engineer a serious accident would
have resulted. It is believed that the
switch had been misplaced by some
mischievous boys of whom there is
an unpleasantly large number loafing
about the Sunset depot day and night.
A few minutes before a freight train
known as No. 23 had pulled out over
the same track without any mishap
which shows that the switch must
have been thrown just liefore tbe pas
senger train arrived. The train was
aliout an hour late and was fortunate- '
ly moving slow at the time. The en
gine ran into a livestock car which
was on the switch. Beyond the break-
ing of the steel casing on the right of
the engine no damage resulted. En
gineer Nave backed his train out of
the switch and pulled safely into the
depot amid cheers from the crowd of
people that had collected.
