ALWAYS IN The TILL
Just the Right Change for $I00 Notes at the
Penn. Depot.

w. G. Adams, agent at the local de-
pot of the Pennsylvania Lines, is firm
believere in the advantage of always
having good amount of change on
hand, and the events of the past week
seem to confirm this opinion.
Several days ago a man stepped up
to the ticket Office and with nom
chalent manner extricated $100 note
from his vest pocket, and handed it
carelessly over to Mr.. Adams, at the
same time asking for mileage book
and requesting a speedy return of his
change.
Now the paymaster of the road had
visited the Office that morning and
made a good substantial deposit so
that the genial ticket agent had the
wherewithal to change several bills of
like amount.
The prospective purchaser got his
mileage book and likewise the exact
amount due him from the one hundred
dollar bill, but he looked very mucE
crestfallen over the failure of his bluff
and evidently felt as though he had at
tended mark-down sale where the
cheapest thing was himself.
Later in the week another man
whose pockets were bulging with bills
of like denomination, wanted to know
if he could get a ticket to Elba, and
the required change. The resourceful
ticket man told the other fellow to
fork over and soon he too was carrying
more money in bulk than he had found
for some time.

STRAY HAPPENINGS
That Forecast the Vernal Season and In
duce Spring Fever.

With the warm weather of the spring
the desire for fishing attracts both the
small boy and the older angler to the
river bank
The locks in the Muskingum were
occupied Wednesday by number of
men and boys, all followers of the pis-
catorial art, who were earnestly en-
deavoring to land the visionary whale
which is always present in every fish
erman's consciousness. Their efforts,
however, met with Indifferent success,
as their strings of fish were remark
able chiefly for their shortness.
The dusty streets will be taken care
of this summer, as heretofore, by the
street-sprinkler. Business men on
Greene, Front and Putnam streets, pay
25 cents per week to defray the ex
ense of having the thoToughfare in
front of their places of business kept
cool and free from dust.
Although the vernal weather is hard
ly far enough advanced to make the
thought of going barefoot hardly pleas
ant, still few irrepressible youngsters
have discarded their shoes and stock
ings, and are apparently enjoying
themselves without their pedal cover
ings

Count In Trouble.

There was a case in Justice FitZpat-
rick's court Monday morning in which
a portly German figured, who is said TO
be count, but whether or not he is the
simon-pure article is not known. His
highness' knowledge of the Queens
English is limited to nod for acquies-
cence and a shake of the head when
not acquiescing. In appearance he is
an ordinary German and has not the
traditional majestic appearance of the
German nobleman.
The fellows name is Anton Lins-
mayer, and it is learned that his native
heath is Bavaria, and that he left
Hamburg last February, accompanied
by his betetr half and Karl Frederick,
whose duties were those of cook and
servant. BY the terms of the contract
with the latter, the count was to pay
him 50 week for his services, over

Several days ago little boy accom-

uraly went on tour of investigation
of the store and its contents. The gold
fish seemed to please hisaesthetic taste
and he thought that they were just
beautiful" But happening to see an
other aquarium with pearl fish he ex-
claimed to his father, why papa, these
fishes is pretty even if the gold is worn
off them" And then everyone laughed.

GOLD FEVER
Breaks Out Over Discovery in Scioto
County.

Special to The Leader.
Portsmouth, o., April 1S.-The dis
covery of gold-bearing quartz on the
Dry Fork of Rarden Creek near the lit
tie village of Rarden, Scioto county,
has created great excitement through
out this and surrounding counties.
Although it has for many years been
rumored that gold exists in this sec
tion of the country this is the first
strike of any value which has ever
been made. The discovery of the gold
was purely accidental. While digging
well on the farm of Elias Smith
workmen struck vein of quartz.
When emptying the refuse at the top
of the well this rock was noticed to
sparkle and glitter in the sunlight. A
hasty examination was made and the
quartz was found to be full of tiny yell
low specks.
The news quickly spread and hun
dreds of people visited the scene of the
discovery. Today it was definitely de.
cided that the rock was good quality
of gold-bearing quartz and the pros.
poets are that rich strike has been
made. Five hundred pounds of the
quartz has been forwarded to Washing
ton to be assayed by the government
experts.
In the meantime a company has been
formed to develop all the land in that
vicinity which is now obtainable. The
company now consists of Lafayette
Taylor and Colonel Forsythe, of Rar-
den, and August Maier and Albert Ton
neman, of this city. All are wealthy
men and they will make a thorough
test of the productiveness of this new
ly discovered mine.
Fabulous prices have been placed on
the land in the immediate vicinity OF
the farm on which the discovery was
made, but the farmers now owning thu
land prefer to await the outcome of the
government assay.
