Several weeks ago Dr. Marcus Ball

the magazines an account of .. theory
which he has to account for the origin
OF the familiar dollar sign. This has
long been in dispute. All sorts of cx-
plantations have been given, the most
common of which is that the initials of
the United States arc crossed. But
there have been seven or eight other
theories TO account for the dollar sign
which are about as GOOD DR.. Baker.

the Rev. Chauncey Lee. of Rutland. VT
In this book was set forth system of

nominations Of our monetary system.
But he soon found that one character.

all that WAS necessary, and in the lat

found to have been dropped.

BOYCOTT RESOLUTION.
Petty Fight by the First Ma
tional Bank.

Whereas, it has come to the
knowledge of the directors Of the
First National Bank that certain
articles have recently appeared in
newspaper known as The Indian
ChieFtain ref ecting upon the hon
or and integrity of large part Of
the stockholders of this bank and
also urging the officers of the Uni
ted States to enter upon course
of unjustified hostility towards a
large part of the stockholders of
this bank, and it appears that the
attacks and insinuations made
therein are uncalled for and un.
warranted and made out of spirit
of malice,
Therefore, be it resolved, by the
directors of this bank, that this
bank do not further patronize said
paper and that the executive Of
fcers of this bank be instructed to
withdraw all advertisements and
that hereafter to have all print
ing necessary for the bank done by
persons other than those interest
ed in or connected with said Indian
Chieftain.
Passed Oct. 13, 1899.

If there is anyone in town
or country who does not indorse
The Chieftain's course in the cat
tie tax matter, outside the board
of directors of the First National
Bank, they have not mentioned it
aloud. And, if the foresight of
those officers had been as clear as
their nd-sights well, they
wouldn't have met and resolved. !"

means Of holding up to the ridi-

whoses smallness.has been real
