DIR. Cogswell. who has been In the SER

said that Mr.. Ames had been unwell for
several years. though his condition was
not such "a to excite alarm. He had been
troubled with the gout, and this inter-

has been very fatal disease in the Ames
family. His grandfather, his mother and
his sister died Of the same disease-cere-
bral apoplexy. Several weeks ago. for a
= period of two or three days, he was
severely troubled with insomnia, but he
recovered and was improving in general
health.
Mrs. Ames may become completely pros
trated by the shock. She Is in such a con-

Impressions of sorrow and condolences
have been received by the family from all

Ames is severe shock to the townspeople.

withdraws from circulation all notes, save
the legal tender greenbacks, Of denominA-
tions of less than ten dollars and substi-

there can be no expansion OF the

further sections of his amendment. He
believes that by the withdrawal OF these
notes silver dollars and five and two and q
half gold pieces will circulate alongside of
each other in the ordinary course Of trade.
He will provide for the coinage Of silver
up to an aggregate Of $500, Que, 900, and
when that amount Is reached the coinage
of silver will cease absolutely. The pres

THE COURIER.
Thursday, December 7, 1898.

Across the Sioux river east from
Elk Point, the Iowa people arc
agoin in the folds VI wild joy over
the discovery Of coal. About every
five years since this country has
been settled discoveries Of coal have
been made and hearnlded forth to
the world with plenty Of gusto. But
eacl, discovery failed to bring forth
in the end the results anticipated. It
may be that there exists a paying
vein Of coal on the banks Of the Big
Sioux, but prominent geologists
who have made al examination Of
northwest Iowa are all Of the opin-
ion that coal tor commercial uses
can not be found in paying quanti-
ties. As far back as 1873. White, the
government geologist, made an ex-
animation Of this section and gave
it as his opinion that coal in paying
quantities did not exist, but
that there might be found a
pocket vein or a thin layer Of coal,
but SO far as finding it so that mini
ing could be made profitable, he
doubted it. Winchell, the Mime
sofa g~eologist, also made an exam
ination with the same result. In
opposition to these two gentlemen
are Mcssrs. Talbot aud Wakefield Of
Sioux City, who have always taken
an interest in geological researches,
but certainly make no claims to be-
ing professionals and experts in the
study. Judge Wakefield is al en-.
thusiast when it comes to botany
and Talbot is thoroughly engrossed
in the study Of zoology and taxi
lermy, but lays no claim Is an
'artist" in the theory and science Of
geology. These two gentlemen
claim that there is coal in paying
quantities along the banks of the
Big Sioux. With due Difference to
their ability and conscientious study
Of the sciences, the verdict Of the
eminent biologists, White and Win.
chell, will DO accepted os the correct
one, however much;one would wish
it otherwise. Prospecting for coal
in northwest Iowa is al old story.
In 1871, Storm Lake parties started
to prospect for LACK diamonds.
They discovered n half incl, vein
and then gave up the Job. IN Cher.
okee county several thousand dol
lars we're spent drilling for coal.
Several inch and half inch veins
were found in 1873, but they were
Of no value for mining purposes. AT
Peterson in,l879 a six inch vein wss
found. In 1880 Captain Morton of
LeMars bseaDl prospecting and IS
said 70 have sunk $4,000 in his ef-
forts TO find coal. These are but a
few Of the cases which go 10 prove
that Professor White is correct il
his diagnosis Of the geological FORM
alton Of this section.

Are fhsy lllssAi and Void Judge
Gdgsrton's DecDlcn.

#HEr4
Among our attorneys there has
l,een considerable discussion aa 10
the validity VI $1,000 worth
Of bonds Tor the construction
Of : city hall. The discussion arose
from the fact that Judge Edgerton
Of the u. s. court had recently de-
clared the Huron bonds invalid. II
seems that the state constitution re-
quires Of the officials of town, county
or municipal corporations TINT there
shall be created q sinking fund for
the liquidation Of any bonded in
debtedness Incurred. But SO far no
legislative enactment has been pass-
ell for the proper procedure Of the
creati0n Of such Il fund. Judge
Edgerton decided substantially as
follows:
Had the bonds recited that the
tax contemplated by the c~onstitu-
ton had been levied, even il the tax
had not been levied, the defendant
would have been estopped from
pleading that the tax had not been
levied. But in the opinion Of the
court a general recital TO the effect
that all the necessary antecedenl
legal conditions had been fulfilled
which is 4 legal conclusion
does not estop form showing the
fact that the tax demanded by the
constitution had not been levied.'
So it will he observed that If the
sinking fund is created, and that
fact is recited on the face Of the
bonds the objections Of Judge Ed.
gerton will be covered. But there
is another point. The city Of Elk
Point works under q special charter
which makes it obligatory that the
tax levy shall not exceed ten mills,
and only for general purposes.
Could a sinking fund to liquiJate
q bond debt be regarded MS part oi
the general purposes?" Or is it
for y specific purpose. This is the
point thought By City Attorney
Wallace rs the weakest in the re.
gard to the issuance Of bonds by
the city Of Elk Point. And hi.
idea, that a test should he made to
settle the mooted question is u
good mo-. II will benefit the city
the purchaser and thus the city
would be allie 10 renlize more f0l
her credit in the market.
