For several years past there has been
a bitter fight between the farmers who
reside along the banks of the Sandusky
Strawboard company in Tiffin, O. The
farmers claim that the refuse matter
from the strawboard mill in Tiffin pol-
lutes the water of the stream, rendering
it unfit for use and dangerous for their
stock. The strawboard company has
been repeatedly indicted and a number
of times convicted and fined for main-
taining a nuisance.

Money im Transit Protected by Pol.
icies Against Every Pos-
sible Hazard.
The careless way in which large pack-
ages” of bank notes are tossed through
fie windows of the New York post office
for transmission te out-of-town points
has excited the wonder of persons fa-
miliar with the risks involved and the
sums at stake. The movement is spe-
cially heavy just now, states the New
York Post of recent date, aggregating
from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 a week, and
including consignments from most of
the large banks and banking houses in
the city. The currency is sent every-
where in single packages containing
$10,000 or less, protected by pelicies of
insurance protecting the owners against
every possible hazard at rates varing
from 15 cents to #0 cents per $1,000 of
currency insured. Most of the notes are
$5, $10 and $20 denominations, besides
supplies of ones and twos for use as
“hand-to-hand money” for crop move-
ment purposes.
These transfers go to all sections of
the United States and Canada, Great
Britain and the continental points. The
business has now grown to large pro-
portions and is written by some of the
strongest insurance companies of Eu-
rope and America. One very interesting
claim paid a few days ago was for the
loss of a parcel containing $2,700 in bank
notes shipped through the mails by a
Canadian institution. The destination
was a small post office, where the busi-
ness was so light that the postmaster,
not having the use of a safe in which to
store valuables, was forced to take home
every night undelivered registered mail
that had arrived during the day. The
package of bank notes was taken out of
the office in this way, and just before the
postmaster reached home he was at-
tacked by footpads and religved of the
money. The loss was imme iately re-
same time offering $500 reward for the
detection of the thieves. The case has
oot been cleared up yet.
Packages containing $20,000 of insured
bank notes were on the train thatiwent
through a bridge in a southern State
last week. New York Be yale
ers were much concerned over the inci-
dent until they discovered that the car
In which the insured packages were
stored remained safe on the rails. Th
largest single risk ever written was tak-
en in England some time ago, when one
package containing $25,000,000 was in-
sured.
Drumming Up Trade,
Things matrimonial being a trifle dull
in Hamilton county, Mo., Probate Judge
Martin has undertaken’ to start a little
boom by publishing advertisements
which descant on the joys of wedded
life. Among the ads, is this: “One
fire will do for two. Matrimony, like
Bethlehem's star, is guiding the wise
men and maidens of the east and of the
west to the only condition under which
human ‘existence is complete and com.
placent. I have tried it for more than
60 years, and have never found marriage
a failure yet.”
