CONDEMNED GOOD MONEY.
Treasurer Robbins of Texas Thought
1t Was All Counterfeit.

Treasurer Robbins of Texas Thought
1t Was All Counterfeit.
Treasurer Robbins of the state of
Texas has sent to Chief of the Secret
Service Wilkie at Washington S124 in
good money which he had condemned
as counterfeit. When Mr.. Robbins
took charge of the Texas treasury he
found carried in the cash of the in
stitution $1,774 in counterfeit paper
money, which had accumulated for
many years Mr.. Robbins recently Sc
cured the passage of an act by the
state legislature authorizing him to
charge this amount off his books and
send the counterfeits to Washington
for destruction. The bundle of bills
was received by Chief Wilkie and each
bill was carefully examined by Expert
Moran. Many of the counterfeits were
of very old issues, and they included
some of the finest examples of the
work of Brockway, the most skillful
counterfeiter the officials of the gov
eminent have had to contend with.
Mr. Moran found, however. that the
bundle included S124 in good money,
including two genuine S. notes issued
by Canadian banks. Robbins will re-
ceive $124 in new bills, which he will
turn into the state treasury.

For a time after the advent OF motor
carriages it was thought by some that
they sealed the doom of the bicycle. SO
far as were concerned all those who
could afford to own an automobile
This was short-sighted Judgment, how
ever as is now very plain. At a gath
ering OF 10 representative automobilists
recently it was found that all but one
we're cyclists. and several had learned
to ride after becoming chaffeurs.

VALUE OF THE COLD BATH.
Enjoyment of a Bath the Measure of
Its Benefit.

Its Benefit.
The cold bath, whether a plunge in
the tub or the sea is not for the deli
cate, the nervous or those whose heart
action is weak In sad emulation of
their more vigorous companions, many
have INDUCED in a cold bath to their
subsequent regret. The enjoyment of
a bath should be the measure of its
benefit. Some who are hardy enough to
experience the warm glow that follows
quick reaction may derive certain ton
ic effects from the dip in cold water.
but when nature hangs out her danger
signals of chattering teeth and purple
lips let one beware of repetition. No
good can result, and harm may. 1t is
only by experimenting that one can
ascertain the temperature of a bath
that is most conducive to health and
cleanliness, but having found it let
her not be tempted by the advocate OF
the daily cold plunge. The cold bath.
besides having little or no value as a
cleansing agent, consumes more Of the
vitality in order to effect reaction. Few
persons are endowed with sufficient
physical vigor to be able to afford so
needless an expenditure of vital force.
The hot bath is just as stimulating as
the cold one. although it Is not gener-
ally so conceded. Cold baths have been
found of value as remedial measures
in fevers and kindred illness, but as a
rule they should not be taken except
under medical supervision even by tbs
young and vigorous.

alleged that since she came into her
property in 1894 his niece has spent
$780, 900, in addition to an annual in

was furnished that she concurred in
the belief that conservator was

ARRoR DAY OBSERVANCE
Valuable Suggestions onered BY the State

Valuable Suggestions Ohered BY the State
Superintendent.
County uperintendenss OF schools
throughout the state have been sent
copies of Gov. Yates proclamation on
Arbor day, which is accompanied by
a circular letter from Alfred Bayliss
state superintendent of public in
struction, containing numerous sug-
gestions as to the observance of the
day, which comes April 90.
1.-The surroundings of too many
rural school houses can only be de-
scribed as depressing, 3" says Mr..
Bayliss. They are bare of trees,
cherries, and in too many cases de-
grading. We are not doing all that
is possible to make them neat, beau
tiful and elevating. There remains,
Notwithstanding all that has been
done in recent years, more than two
thousand absolutely treeless school
premises to the discredit of Illinois
No education worthy the aspirations
of our imperial commonwealth is pos
sible under the conditions which pre-
vail in very many of these districts.
mo special program is suggested.
Each superintendent should prepare
one for his own county and publish it
in the local newspapers. The local
press is great educational force,
always ready, and more than willing
TO aid superintendent and teachers.
1t should be used much more system
atically and continuously than it is. -

1901 will be one of the most success

report for practice not later than
next Monday. Harry and Hugh Tate
are already on hand and it is expected
every incoming train will bring Oh
members from various parts of the
country.

will be spent in pracuce at Iowa City

T. E. Joyce will not be allowed to
play baseball this year. He has been
married, and Mrs. Joyce has placed
the veto on the game. Joyce was
signed to play first base for Daven-
port. He is six-footer aud would
make an excellent man for the place.
He could make a good thing at the
baseball game, but Mrs. Joyce believes
he could make just as good thing at
something less seemingly trivial, and
therefore she dictated letter which
her better half reluctantly and sor-
rowfully sent to Manager Hayes.
