The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-03-24

The origin of the American dollar
sign has been the subject Of inquiry of
a correspondent of the Inter-Ocean;
which journal gives the following infor-
mation:
There are a number Of theories for
the origin of the dollar mark. One is,
that it is combination of u. S., initials
for the United States. Another theory
is, that it is modification of the figure
s, the dollar being formerly called a
''piece of eight, and designated by the
character SIS. The third theory is,
that it is combination Of H. s., the
mark of the Roman unit; while the
fourth is, that it is a combination Of p
from the Spanish peso duro, which sig-
nifies hard dollar" In Spanish ac.
counts, peso is contracted by writing
the over the p and then placing it
after the sum. The editor Of the
Whitehall Review says it is taken from
the Spanish dollar, and the sign is to be
found in the associations Of the Spanish
dollar, on the reverse of which is a rep
resentation Of the Pillars Of Hercules,
and ro5nd each pillar is a scroll, with
the inscription, ''pius ultra, and this
device in course Of time has degener-
ated into the sign which stands at
present for American as well as Spanish
dollars-S. The scroll around the pill.
lars is said to represent the two SER
pents sent by Juno to destroy Hercules
In his cradle
From the same source we derive the
following information concerning the
standard dollar:
On the neck Of the bust of the stand
ard dollar very small letter m can
be noticed. This ia private mark of
the man who made the die for the
standard silver dollar. His name was
Morgan, and his initial letter may be
found on al silver standard dollars. 1t
is said that some of the counterfeits
also have this letter upon them. He
was never authorized by the Govern
ment to place it there, and evidently
did il on his own accord. 1t is so small
that doubtless very few people have
ever discovered it.

SYCOPHA.N7' VS.. BARBER.

STCOPLIA. VT VS.. BARBER
EDITOR ADVANCE: Federal office
holder Il. d. Barber attempts to deny
purchasing the influence OF the Journal
for Dunnell, and in doing so makes
statement which he knows is false. He
says 'the Journal was in danger of fall
ing into the hands of Democratic
money loaner' and makes this state
ment us al excuse for lis making Ogle
the pretended loan. The fact is that no
Democratic money loaner thought OF
buying the claim against the journal
until after Barber made the purchase
for Dunnell, and the note against Ogle
was paid to the Bank of Worthington
before Barber knew that any one else
wanted it. Ogle went to Ward man
first and WAS told by him that there was
some "Dunnell Beef Slough Tea'' in
town and if he went to the proper par
ties he could get some of it.. lie of
course went to Barber and got what tea
lie wanted, and now Barber says it was
not ''tea" at all but Congregational
beer that Ogle got. Barber can do the
meanest and dirtlest political tricks Of
any one i'll the Dunnell Ring and after
beng caught i'll the act put on cheek
aud sneak out of it tile slickest of any
man ever saw. think the Pioneer
Press got it's false reports Of the recep-
ton ot Dunhell i'll this end of the dis
trict from Barber "People crowded
to hear Dunnell speak 1T Worthington
and Piprstnne City, and were very ell
thnSiastic,' etc. The fact is, as YOU
we'll know, that out of the $50 who went
to hear DunneIl ut Worthington only
30 will vote for him ut the polls, and at
Pipestone City, out Of 90 persons pres
| ent to hear him talk, only were his
supporters rs WAS shown by an actual
vote OF thh crowd. Take the Federal
office holders out of the Dunnell ranks.

teners who want seed to grow sQuashes

HARVESTING AMBER CANE.
EDITOR ADVANCE: AS the time for
harvesting Amber Cane is at hand, a
few suggestions may be of service to
those engaged in the cultivation IF that
valuable crop. From my own exp3ri-
rience and reading, an confident that
the following is the best course of pro-
cedure: The cane should be cut before
a severe frost, and should lie a few davs
before it is ground, but in such position
that 1t will not be injured. My method
Is to cut and pile the cane before ston-
ping and topping us follows: Take five
rows, follow them across the field, cut
the center l''l first, cutting at the Sec
ond JOINT, pile the stalks of that and
TWO other hills on the stubble of the
center hill resting the butts on the stub
o'e with the tops near the next row.
linen cut these other hills and placing
the butts across the first with the tons
next the opposite .row, funnel shape.
So continue till the butts are two or
two and 4 half feet high. AS the tors
rest upon the ground this will give suf-
ticent slope to carry off rain the leaves
serving as II shelter and protection,
while the butts raised upon the stubble
will allow Of free circulation of air
which will prevent milldew. Piled in
this way, they may if circumstances,
require, remain several weeks without
injury. The best aud most expeditions
manner Of stripping and topping IS as fol-
lows: elect two boards about feet in
length together, place one end of this
elect down on IN ordinary carpenters
saw horse, the other end on the ground
elnng side of the pile Of cane, the high
end Of the board beside the tops of cane.
Two persons are required to strip. One
standing at the high end OF the board.
takes six or eight stalks by the tops and
places them on the board evening the
tops in his left hand, holding them firm
ly, while the other with steel tooth
garden rake, teeth about II inches apart.
draws the rake two or three times brisk
~ through the sta! ks, which will clean
them of leaves very nicely. Then the
person holding the tops, with a hatchet
cuts off about IS inches Of the top of
the cane. Then while he is placing an
other bunch on the table, the raker
gathers up the cut stalks and places
them in i pile by his side. When the
pile of cane is finished the raking table
is moved to the next pile. When the
came is stripped it should be tied in con-
venient sized bundles for handling with
the leaves and placed under cover if pos
sibIe resting on their butts.
