MARKET SPACE.
THE JEWISH NEW YEAR.
The Holiday Season TO be Fittingiy
Observed Here.

| The Jewish holiday season will begin
on Friday evening, when the Introductory
| New Years services will take place in
| every Jewish house of worship. The Jew
| ish year begins On the first day of the
month of Tisri. The year is composed of
| twelve lunar months, and as the begin
i-ning of these. months cannot be fixed to
any certain day of the Julian calendar
there can be no Julian date for the jew
ish New Year. The festival fell on Sep
tenber p last year.
y month, according to the Jewish cal
endar, comprises the period of one revo-
luton of the moon around the earth
This yields 354 days and eight hours for
the twelve months, or about eleven days
less than the solar year of $50 days. To
avoid the error which would arise and
the confusion of dates, a whole month is
added to certain years. Thus, within
cycle of nineteen years, the third, sixth,
eighth, eleventh, fourteenth, seventeenth,
and nineteenth nave thirteen months
each, and are leap years. in order to
ascertain whether a year has twelve or
thirteen months, the number of the year
is divided by 70. II there Is no remainder,
or If the remainder is 3, 6, S, IL. a, or Il,
the year is a leap year. The year
which will begin on Friday evening will
be 5662 BY dividing 5652 by 10 there would
be no remainder, which shows that the
new year will be leap year, having
thirteen months.
In the early days of Judaism, before
there We're any calendars, the coming of
the new moon was determined by obser-
walton and then it was proclaimed
throughout the land by means of fires on
the tops of mountains. In places where
these signals could not be seen. messen-
gers brought the news that the new moon
begun. But these messengers were some
times delayed, and the people sometimes
! did not say the proper prayers until the
moon was day old. In order to be on
the safe side and to guard against mis-
haps, tie people living outside of Pales-
tine oil served all the feast days twice
They c LIBERATED every holiday except the
Day of Atonement for two days. This
custom became so firmly rooted that even
now in the largest cities of the world
correctness of the dates. the orthodox
Jews still celebrate the second day" and
for that reason the New Years feast
which viii end on Saturday at sunset in
all reformed Jewish houses of worship,
viii be continued another day by the or
| thodoX Jews.
There are many Jews who never go to
a synagogue except at this time of the
year. when the chief religious festivals
take place, and for that reason the syna-
gOgues are taxed to their utmost capacity.

The detectives are confident that in the
arrest Saturday morning by Detective
Sergeants Lacy and Browne of Edward
Smith, colored, they have secured one of
the men who has been holding up belated
pedestrians on the streets at night and
robbing them of their valuables. Al
though they have already secured several
cases on Smith 1t is probable that he
will not be sent to court today, but will
be held for several days to permit of
certain other clues being followed. Smith
was yesterday measured and photo
graphed for the rogues' gallery.
The local authorities are much pleased
at the arrest I'm New York Saturday by

several thousand dollars. Lynch was

Rock Island Short Line.

Early in 1902, the Chicago,
Rock Island IL Pacific railway will
throw open to the public its new
line to Texas and the great south
and southwest. The opening of
this new line will mean much to
the travelling and shipping public
and will take its place as one of
the great railroad improvements
of that year.
This new line is an extension of
the branch of the Rock Island ex.
tending to Liberal in the south
west corner of Kansas. The ex-
tension from Liberal runs in an
almost straight line to Ell Paso,
Texas, the terminus. The dis
tance from Liberal to Ell Paso is
542 miles, A remarka BILE piece of
railroad construction is to be
found on this extension, being
perfectly straight piece of track,
without a curve, for the distance
of l2S miles, thus becoming the
longest piece of straight track in
North America. The maximum
grade is only | per cent, another
remarkable and important fact.
This will make the Rock Island
the only true southern route, with
the lowest altitude and much lower
grade than any other line. Few
people will realize what this means
until fully considered.
With the completion of this new
extension, the Rock Island will
become a greater and more potent
factor in the railroad world. 1t
will not only add many miles to
its already large mileage but it
will give to the Rock Island the
Short Line" over its own tracks,
from Chicago to Ell Paso, Texas,
and with the connecting lines at
El Paso will become the "Short
Line" between Kansas City and
the Pacific Coast as we'll as be-
tween Chicago and many import
ant points in Texas and Mexico.
This of itself is of great import
ance in the busy railroad world
and it will bring to the Rock Is
land an immense increase of traf-
tic, especially through business

Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico

A person may be giant in stature
and intellectually a pismire. In the
first issue of the Nelson county OBJ
server for 1901, one of this class offer
ed barrel of sulphur to fumigate the
Lakota court house on the retirement
therefrom of a democrat who held his
office by virtue of a decree of the SUI
preme court against schemes of such
men as the intellectual pigmy. From
the Observer of the 18th Of January
we copy the following:
AT the present session of the board
of county commissioners w. A. Diss-
more Of district No. 2 was chosen
chairman for the present year. 1t has
been the custom Of the board hereto,
fore to elect the oldest member of ithel
board chairman, but they waived the
rule in Mr.. Dissmore S case, he having
served only two years on the board.
We arc of the opinion that he will
keep up the standard set by former
chairmen of the board in the discharge
of his duties.
There is a republican majority on
the board Of county commissioners
and that they should choose demo-
craft to preside over their deliberations
shows the contempt they had for the
petersburg crank, who has yet to
learn that in the progress of civiliza-
tlon came liberation, religious and
political to the people of the old world

of rs that animated its patriots, toll

fiectirn upon these matters will save

himself as he often does.

Introducing the Rudiments.

Our worthy county superintendent
is enliSting the teachers of the county
in the grand and noble work of en-
Iarged effort in the rudimentS of an
English education. To this end CON
tests in spelling have been arranged
withasuperintendent for each iu.every
township of the county, and later on
for a county contest from the best of
each township. The craze to get into
the higher studies before becoming
master of the elementary rudiments
and principles is an error which she
is making a lauda BILE effort to correct
Orthography, orthoepy, spelling, read
in distinct voice with an intelligent
use of AGENT, infection of voice and en-
phasis, the proper construction of
sentences, and with a thorough under
standing of the elements and princi-
pies of mathematics is of vastly more
Importance to pupils than study of
the dead languages. When we meet
public school teacher, a graduate of
some academy or normal school who
salutes us GLOW dye du," we know
that the institution from which that
teacher is graduate Units curriculum
had no place for the proper training
of the vocal organs. Hence we are
gratitied to see the disposition on the
part of our county superintendent to
get the young of the. county well es-
tablished in the rudimepts, the funda-
mental elements of good, practical
education.

THE YEARS COINAGE.
Some Interesting Figures Compiled
from Report of Director
of the Mint.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Mr. George
L. Roberts, the director of the mint,
in his annual report shows that the
coinage of the past year was in excess
of that executed in any previous year
in the history of the service. aggregat-
ing STAT, 351 800, as compared with
$136, ,676 in the last fiscal year. The
value of the gold coinage was slightly
below that of the previous year, being
$l07,937,l1 as compared with $l0S,
177,1S0. The coinage of silver dollars
was $1S.2l4 .9S4, as compared with $1S,
2o4, 7O0 in the previous year The chief
increase was in the output of sub
sidiary and minor coins, which sur
passed all records and it is stated may
doubtless be attributed to the eXtraor-
binary activity of retail trade through
out the country. The coinage of sub
sidiary silver amounted to -57,114,270
pieces of the value of $12,S76, $40, and of
minor coins to the extraordinary total
of 01,301, 1853 pieces of the value of ST.
243,017. The seignorage or profit on
this coinage was $5,477.525.
The deposits of gold bullion at the
minis and assay offices of the United
States during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1900, exclusive or redeposits,
were of the value of $133, 920,119,
against 143,497, 100 reported the pre-
vious year. The total deposits of gold
were not so great as in the previous
year, the imports of bullion showing
decline, but the deposits of domestic
bullion again surpassed all records,
amounting to $S7,45s,s36, against $780,
252,4S7 last year.
The seignorage on the coinage of
silver dollars, subsidiary and minor
coins during the year amounted to
$10,2S6, 1902
The fluctuations in the price of silver
in the London market during the 12
months ended June 80, 1900, were not of
wide range, the lowest price being
26%d and the highest price 20 9-16d.
For the first nine months of the fiscal
year the market was sustained mainly
by purchases for India and the Straits
settlements, with small demands on
continental account and also for the
domestic coinage of England and her
colonies. Early in April. 1900, de
mand for silver came from China.
which continued for the remainder of
the year, and this, with the demand
by the Italian government, caused the
price to advance by the end of June to
2s 9-16d, the highest price of the year.
The average price of silver for the
year, based upon daily London quota
tions, was 27.375od, equivalent at par
of exchange to $o.6oO17 per ounce, fine,
in United States money. AT the high
est market price of silver during the
year the commercial ratio of silver to
gold was as l to 1901; at the lowest
price l to 35.41; at the average price
l to 3444.
