METEOROLOGICAL nn.a.
The New U. 3. Silver Certiacates Oliver
In Change.

The new silver certificates which the
government is preparing to issue. have
been much discussed because in the eS-
ceIpt from the Constitution of the
United States, which they bear. tho
word tranquility ds spelled with one %
an error. 1t Is thought that they win
be recalled. in which event, they are
likely to soon have a value far beyond
their face. The error was not discoy-
cred until some few Of the bills had been
issued. when Watt, Rettew & CLAY. the
large dry goods store. secured through
their bank. large number of them ane
tomorrow cThursday), or until all the
ceruaiiates are paid out, each one who
makes a purchase at the store will be
gwen In change one of the much sought
81 certificates.
These bills are said to be superior from
an artistic standpoint, to any money
mat the world has ever seen and doubt
less many will try to obtain and keep
them for this reason.
The design which occupies almost the
entire face of the bill, History Instruct
ing Youth" is itself picture worth the
price of the bill
a window exhibit of the certificates will
De made to-day by Watt. Rettew & CLAW.
The distribution begins tomorrow. In
the window where the certificates are
SHOWN, the clock stopped at sixteen min
utes to one.
