! ear Sir,-W Would you be SO kind as
to publish the following statement as
there seems to be some dissatisfaction
in regard to expending the funds re-
ceived at an entertainment held here
last winter. Miss Edna White, teach
er, in DISTRICT No. 2, Paris twp, held
an entertainment last winter at the
close of her school, the amount of
money taken in was between S. 90
and $500, the sum was deposited with
J. P. Bauer, director, until the be.
ginning of spring term, when Miss Ed.
ma White demanded the money and
with assistance of Miss Elsie Perry,
County Supt., selected the books for
library, had them shipped to Cresco,
Miss White delivered the books at the
school house, Mr.. Bauer having moth
to do with the purchase. At the en-
tertainment held last Friday evening,
March 18th, Miss Mae English, the
amount taken in by Mr.. McCarvel at
the door and for the purchase of has.
kets, was said to be sixteen dollars
and some cents, Miss English having

Bowling Contest.

The bowling contest Tuesday night
between Austin and Cresco drew out
a fair sized but nota very enthusiastic
crowd. This may be accounted for by
the fact that tne playing was Aearly
all done on one side, Cresco's. At the
end of the first game Austin was In
the lead by q pins, but in the second
game Cresco passed them by IL pins,
and at the end of the fourth game
Cresco won out by 227 pins and no hard
playing done. A feature of the even
ing was the muaic disco4rsed BY the
Cresco Band; although not in the best
of practice the music was well rendered

the band could become II given the
right sort Of encouragement. Follow

THE OMAHA TORNADO.
Much Damage Is Caused By the Storm,
But No One IL Serious y
ly Hurt.

Omaha, Neb., March 12.-The wind,
rain and hailstorm which visited Oma-
ha and Douglas county ut two o'clock
Tuesday morning was the heaviest in
the history of this vicinity. 1t struck
Omaha near Monmouth park, in the
northern part of the city, and moved
northeast, the greatest severity be-
ing experienced in the neighborhood
of Thirty-third and Larimore streets.
Although perhaps so buildings were
more or less damaged, nobody was seri-
ously injured. People who were caught
in the storm had narrow escapes. and
Mrs. Amanda Geary, who lives at Thir-
ty-thtrd street and Grand avenue, prob
ably escaped death by being absent
from home. Her house was picked up
and scattered over a square ofground,
bits OF the furniture being found in
neighboring field. Several street
cars were caught in the path Of the
wind, but remained on the track. Tele-
phone and electric wires in the path
Of the storm were strewn over the
streets, and great number Of poles
were torn out. Franklin school, one
OF the largest in the city, had to be
abandoned temporarily. A large chin
pey was blown into the roof, which
caved in and demolished the interior
Of several rooms. Small buildings
were blown about in an easy way, and
several barns were torn to pieces.
The Coliseum building is the worst
wrecked of the larger structures. It
was directly in the path of the
storm. Nearly all of the sky-lights
are gone and the roof is badly twist
ed. The high board fence surround.

away. Anderson's match factory,
Immediately east of the Coliseum,

Coins Have
Vanished

There is something curious about
the American silver dollar and half
dollar Of the coinage OF 1904" said q
well-known numismatist of New York.
I'm that year something like 10000 Of
the dollars were coined, but it Is q
singular fact. as is now known, that
not one of them vas known to be in
circulation. Yet the most precious Of
all American coins are two 1904 dol.
lars, which are in well-known collec-
tons. They are valued at $4,000 each.
1T has been determined to the salts
faction Of every numismatist that these
two dollars were not coined until 1928,
although they were struck from the
original 1904 die. They were secretly
made-although such a procedure is a
penal offense-for some one high in in
auence and authority, who desired
them for certain coin collections. 1t
has never been positively ascertained
how the surreptitious work was accom-
plished, but there Is no doubt that it
was done.
why the dollar of 1904 was never
seen in circulation after leaving the
mint is one of the unsolved government
mysteries.
"a still greater mystery surrounds
the half-dollar of 1904. OF that coin
