OLEO SALES INCREASE.

Dry Weather Made Butter Supply Short
and Artificial Product BOOms-
KANSAS CITY, No, Nov. 16.-There
has been a great increase in the cleo
margarine business done at the inter
nal revenue Office during the past 90
days, the volume of trade in that time
exceeding that of the preceding six
months. The increase is explained by
the dry weather which materially
shortened the butter supply and forced
the price Of the good grade up to a
point where many chose to take OleO,
even If It was uncOlOred- The same
increase has been reported IN Kansas
and other western states where like
conditions prevailed.

soME KANsAs HAPPENINea
OF school Ta1es-

One Of the subjects to come before
the State Teachers association in De-
eember is the present inequality in the
school tax laws OF Kansas. It is found
that in the county Of Washington the
tax rate ranges from to 30 mills on
each s. valuation and other counties
present similar conditions. The teach
ers claim that it is a very unjust law
that forces one community to pay nine
times more school taxes than another,
in the same county. and that such q
law needs 70 be corrected before there
can be other reforms in the school sys-
TEN or higher wages paid to those who
conduct the schools.

BAD TREASURE 4ROVE.
Boys Digging Worms for
Bait Open a s'Coney"
Cache Along the
Canal.
THEY FOUND NEARLY 1900 COINS
They We're Buried in an Old
Gripsack-Police Warning Ner-
chants to Look Out for
Them.

Small boys while digging for worms fee
fish bait last night, in front of No. LIS
Dudley street, which fronts on the Morris
Canal, unearthed small fortune in me-
tallic dollars. Between 81, 200 and s., 500
were recovered. Unfortunately for the
finders the coins were apparently counter
feits, although they showed cleverness
OF manufacture. They were in an old
fashioned gripsack, buried about three
feet below the surface.
When it was first uncovered the boy
who struck the satchel seized it by the
handle and attempted to drag it from the
earth. In doing SO the bottom, which
had rotted, dropped out
The rattle of the coins startled the boy,
and he summoned his companions, who
dug fiercely, and then began to scramble
for the prize in lively fashion. There ap-
peared to be no end to the wealth, and
the boys pocketed the dollars in high
glee. When they had gathered up all
there was in sight they hurried away
and showed their find to their elders
When told the money was spurious they
showed their disappointment by tossing
it into the canal. Several hundred were
disposed of in that way, but several hun-
dred were kept
The find was reported to Captain Cox,
of the Gregory street station, who lost
no time in sending detectives and reserve
men to gather in as many of the coins
possible. The police recovered about one
hundred, but there are still so many
scattered about that Captain Cox fears
unscrupuous persons will victimize small
merchants with them. To prevent this
the captain has instructed all the men in
his precinct to notify storekeepers on
their respective posts to be on the lookout
for the bad money! -
The dollars were well made but from
haVlAg been buried had turned black
Had they possessed the polish they did
when manufactured it would have been
difficult to detect the fraud, although
they are thicker than the good dollars.
The coins all bear the date of 1892, and
1t is presumed they were made in that
year The police have suspicion that a
gang of counterfeiters was operating
some years ago in the neighborhood
Where the money was found. Chief Muir
ply is investigating the matter.
