Is there an American dollar of the
date of 1904? If there is, it is worth
fortune, for it is enc of the jack o.
lanterns of nunisIaatics. In q recent
issue the American Journal of Numis-
mates goes into an interesting account
OF what it terms the myth of 1904 dol.

struck in that year. is in existence. Like
comets, these alleged coins have been
turing up in most Cnexpectedplacesfo z
nearly century. Recently coin deal
ers were excited by story from RAJ
cine, Wis, which told how a woman
went into dry goods store to buy a
spool of thread and rendered in pay
ment a, worn silver dollar, saying that
she did not know whether il was good
or not. The clerk saw the date 1854"
on the coin, put it into his pocket. and
threw Il new silver dollar into the cash
drawer. He was offered S1.5CO for the
Gid coin by dealer. but refused to sell.
In this way the story got out and the
clerks employer put in a claim for the
1904 dollar. Both men have employed
lawyers to defend their titles, and now
the woman shopper is preparing to
bring suit for the possession of it.
i For years Mr.. NeXsen, an expert OF
Brooklyn. n. V, has made a study OF
the subject. He has convinced himself
and other competent judges that no
genuine 1854 dollar was ever coined.

A Mississippi editor makes this APP
peal to delinquent subscribers: Fish

dust, the editor is hungry and the
paper bout to bust. We've trusted
you for several months, and did it

pliment and trust us for q while.
Our wife she needs some stockings

some breeches, and so does Kate and
Bess, Pud is on the hog train and
Peggy sick with grief, and good gosh
almighty, can't you give a man re-
lief. Shell out those nickels and turn
loose and whistle and we'll have bet
ter times; there will be fewer patches
on the bosom OF cur pants, and we'll
make the paper better if we had half
a chance. Don't give us that old
story, long gone to seed, bout taking
more family papers than the family
want to read, but help to feed the
printer, and he'll help our town to
grow, and thus escape the sulphur in
the region down below"

An editor who has tie reputation
of speaking the truth. says: "When
the writer was little lad in the good
old state of Pennsylvania, the teach
or, the preacher and the bishop
drank whisky. First, the bishop
quit. then the preacher, then the
teacher and then the people. It took
a long time, but the habit is surely
falling away. A whisky agent who
has sold whisky on the road for
twenty-five years, says the sale OF
whisky is decreasing every year.
People have quit drink. It is no
longer considered good form to swill
it. A drunken man is o disgrace.
A tippler cannot hold job anywhere
that is respectable or progressive.
The railroads won't have him neither
will anybody else. The sentiment il
getting stronger against it all the
time. The teacher. the preacher and
the people are all creating q senti-
ment against drinking. In twenty
years the whisky problem win have
solved itself.

The Indianapolis Tribune says Of
the Transvaal that the Beers are
backward in their civilization,
their institutions do not suit
modern conditions, they are bigoted,
and have always treated the native
population with a greater or lesser
amount of cruelty. Upon the other
hand, wherever England has see her
foot, she has created free institutions
in accord with modern civilization.
Her motives have not been philan-
thropic, it is true; they have been
rather mercenary, but CONNER
cial and industrial progress is irresis-
tible, and a people which attempts to
resist it must necessarily in time be
crushed.

In going over the election results
it will be found that in the countie;
where the Republicans made an ag-
gressive campaign on national issues
they nearly always won. When the
campaign was left to a "still hunt"
without organization or enthusiasm
the ballot box scattered its contents
like shot gun.
The Republicans had the best of
the argument and when they did not
make use of it they made mistake.
The Fusionists had no argument and
the still hunt and the "vote for the
candidate, not for principle" were
their best way ont of the hole in
which they were placed by public
sentiment on political questions.
The keynote of the Republican cam
paign was sounded by Congressman
Long when he said: ''The question
is whether the president of the United
States shall be sustained in doing his
duty. 1t should be a patriotic
question and not political question.
1t has been made political question
by the opposition. That issue press
ed vigorously and plainly could not
result in anything but Republican
victory. Every time Long spoke he
filled the republicans with enthusi
asm and the opposition with dismay.
Left to silence ON the issues the voters
were guidedby personal acquaintance
OF prejudice and the Fusionists had a
chance. With the responsibility upon
them emphasized by Mr.. Long the
people felt that their votes were a
message to Mckinley, to Auginaldo
and to the world.
The campaign of next year has
practically begun. If the Republi-
cans Of the Seventh district stand
firmly together, putting aside person
al and fact;onal disturbers, and ap-
pealing to the common sense and
patriotism of the people on the line
laid out by Congressman Long, the
district will give 5000 majority in
support of Observation-Disclosures
News.

A curious bond of sympathy between
some of the people of these United
States and one of the Philippine tribes
has been discovered by California SOL
der, who tells his Luzon experiences in
the pages of the Overland Monthly.
When the Ygreto chief, badly wounded
in the February fight, was recovering
from his hurts in our hospital in Ma
Mia, one of our soldiers who knew the
Cherokee language, though he recog-
nized in the Ygreto's talk words that
bore a striking resemblance to Chero-
kee. He tried the chief with q few
sentences in Cherokee, with the re-
suit that the two soon readily under
stood one another end became very good
friends. AS the California thinking

''The most remarkable thing about
q battle" said Colonel Metcalf to the
editor of the lola Register, els the
way in which it absorbs the men en-
gagged in it, I remember we'll the
sharp fight in which Afford was
killed. Funston was leading the ad-
vance and I was directing the firing
and the movement of the line. Dur
ing the entire fight I didn't see a
single Filipino, dead or alive. and I
didn't see one of our men fall.
Wien it was over and We returned,
We counted the bodies of thirty one
dead Filipinos which I must have
walked over during the advance.
And the men on the firing line be-
came SO oblivious to everything ex-
cept the loading and firing of their
guns that they do not hear . com
mand shouted in their very ears. I
expect that fifty times at least I have
had to take hold of men and shake
them to attract attention. It il a
peculiar kind of excitement, nm exal-
tation I might call it which comes to
the soldier in battle and does not
come. I believe. to any other man in
any other vocation in life"

A Cat Which Wears Spectacles.

A correspondent sends to the
Philadelphia Times an account of q
handsome cat which wears spectacles
not verg surprising thing in this
day, when dogs wear rubber boots
and carry umbrellas.
The cal, whose name is Max, belongs
to lady. as may be supposed. She
has had him for many years, and
lately began to notice that his sight
was failing. She took him at once
to an oculist. That worthy practi-
toner declined at first to have any,
thing to do with such patient.
For one thing, as he said, he did not
know how to go to work.
On this point the lady camo to the
doctors relief. An image of mouse
was concocted, and by holding this
before the cats eyes at varying dis
tances, the doctor finally secured a
pretty good diagnosis.
As result the cat was by and by
fitted with a pair of gold-bowed
spectacles, and now net only looks as
wise as an owl, but can see almost or
quite as we'll as ever. So saws his
owner, as she is reported by the
Times correspondent.

A small boy was on his way to
school. A small dog ran out and
barked at the heels of the small boy.
On going home to dinner the small
bow told his mother about it and his
mother told his father. The owner
of the small dog was a candidate.
The father of the small boy said he
wouldn't vote for a candidate that
owned small dog that barked at the
heels of his boy. And yet these are
the things that often control elections
in this land of the free and home of
the brave.-El Dorado Republican.

tary Of state.
Topeka, Nov. 1.-THE returns of
the election at the Dodge City Sol
diers' home were received today by
the Secretary of State. They were
canvassed and the results certified
down to the clerks of the various
counties who had soldiers at the home
The returns show that eighty-six
votes were cast at the home. The
Republicans got seventy-one of them
and the fusionists only got fifteen.
To the Republicans this shows that
the old soldiers are back with the
party. The fusion leaders con-
temptuously remark that they did not
expect any better showing at the SOL
diers' home, as Populists don't go to
the soldiers home or to poor houses.
There are soldiers at the home
from forty-one counties. Those in
these nine counties did not vote:
Wyandotte, Miami, Montgomery,
Harvey, Cherokee, Johnson, Brown,
Anderson and Douglass. The Re
publicans got all the votes cast by sol
diers of these counties: Bourbon,
Cowley, Dickinson, Ellsworth, Fin
ney, Gray, Hamilton, Jefferson.
Jewell, Jackson, Kearny, Leaven-
worth, Woodson, Marshall, Meade,
Morris, Ness, Usage, Reno, Stafford
and Sedgwick. The vote of these
counties was divided, the Populists
only getting one vote out of each:
Crawford, Decatur, Franklin, Hodg-
man, Lyon, Pratt, Rawlins and Rice
In Shawnee county there were ten
votes cast. The Republicans got five
and the Populists five. Leaven worth
county had eight votes at the home.
They were all straight Republican.
The election at the home was held
under the new law, and it went off
very satisfactorily. The old soldiers
at the LONE formerly voted in Ford
county, but the supreme court, in a
decision last year, held that the in
mates sent from other counties to the
home could not be considered resi-
dents of Ford county just because the
home was located in that county. To
enable the inmates to enjoy the rights
of suffrage a law was passed giving
them the right to vote for candidates
in the counties from which they came.
There are about fifteen votes in the
home belonging to Ford county,
which were cast principally in Dodge
City, two-thirds of them being Re
publican.
There are now about $50 voters in
the home.
