BRIGGS FUTURE PLANS.

a Report to the Eject That lie WIN Raise
the banner or "a New Theology.
CINCINNATI, May Silt Is learned
from authentic sources that Prof
Briggs has been corresponding with H.
ID. Morris, of Lane seminary. this city,
concerning the best method of forming
II new church. Briggs wants to raise
the banner of n new theology.
Prof, Morris has replied to Briggs
letter attempting To discourage the
scheme. lie told briggs that very few
Presbyterian ministers would desert to
a new standard. The movement has,
not yet been squclched, however, as it
is known that four well known liberal
Prcsbyterians of Cincinnati have gone
to Washington with the avowed intdn-
ton Of assisting Briggs in his new
church project
The letter said TO have been written
by Briggs to Morris is inaccessible now
and efforts made ut Lane seminary TO
get at more facts have failed. No one
was found there who could affirm the
story or give the names of the ministers
who have gone Washington to encour-
age Briggs in the movement TO estab-
lish n new church.
II is generally believed that DIR, Hen
ry Preserved Smith is one of the four.

Reports come of the opening OF
another stucco bed Of considerable
dimensions in south Dickinson. There
seems little doubt but that an
immense body Of this valuable build
ing material undeTlies the whole
south portion of this county and the
southeast of Saline. While large
amounts have already been taken out
but fraction has been yet mined
What the cement, stucco, agatite, or
whatever name IL may be called by,
needs most is thorough advertising.
A few thousand dollars well spent in
this manner would mean millions
added TO the wealth of the section from
which the material IL secured.

Chapman Is going into another Of

seem that their losses In that venture

probably is that some of the mighty

An Abilene man thought he had
found an 1904 dollar the other day, but
careful examination showed 1t to be-. Of
the year 1914, the third figure being
very dim. Had 1t been an 1904 dollar
II would have been worth 81 200.
There are many stories about this issue
Of United States coin. 1t is said that
there are not more than eight at the
most known to be in existence. Ac-
cordiDg to the record Of the United
States mint 10 $40 silver dollars were
coined in 1904. One of the stories
about the use Of this mintage Is that
they we're sent TO africa to pay of
American sailors who were engaged In
war Of the Mediterranean with Tri.
poll at that time. 1t is said that the
natives took great fancy to these
coins, and that the sailors parted with
them for souvenirs. 1t was stated that
later the chiefs Of the tribes valued
these dollars so highly as ornaments
and tokens that they took great trouble
to get possession of them, and that,
partly through robbery or trickery, they
succeeded in getting possession Of all
the dollars issued that year. The dol
lar of 1904 has a flying eagle with
thirteen stars, upon the reverse, while
the face bears the date and the head Of
the Goddess Of Liberty with floating
hair,
