VALUE OF ABRAlDED COIN

Had the conductor of St. Louis
street car understood the law regard
in the value of coins, he would have
saved his employers the expense of
paying $4,000 judgment against them
because of his ignorance A passen-
ger offered him a smooth nickel for
fare He refused to accept it. and in
the dispute that followed he put the
passenger off the car. 4 suit for dam
ages resulted, which the passenger
won, and the conductor now knows
more about nickels than he did before,
but the car company paid for his
knowledge.
Gold coins, which are legal tender to
any amount when full of weight, are
accepted only at their bullion value
when they become deprecated By
abrasion or mutilatiOn. The face value
of such coins it not identical viii.
their bullion value. and any person is
justified in refusing to accept them
at any other value than that of bui-
lion. But this ic not the case WITH
silver or nickels, which are limited to
legal tender to the extent of only five
dollars. Such coins much be accept
ed at their face value if they are in
such condition as to show that they
are the product of United States
mint. The abrasion of such a coin.
unless it is extensive enough to ut.
terly destroy the mint trade mark,
Goes not affect it's value in the slight
est degree.
Not many smooth nickels are offer
ed to street car conductors in these
days of slot machines. those possessing
them preferring to dispose of them il.
the inviting slots But occasionally
such coin appears on the cars, ana
wise conductors will lay these facts
to heart and deal automatically with
the man or woman who tenders them
for fare.

ANOTHER LIE NAILED

Missions, relative to the report circu-

appropriation for Catholic Indian

SENATOR JONES' WEALTH..

The CIarke-Davis papers are say
ing a great deal about Senator Jones
immense wealth. says the Fordyce
Chronicle-Enterprise The report that
Senator Jones is very wealthy is about
on par with the report a few years
ago about his great palace in Wash.
ington City The writer was in
Washington few years ago and went
around to see this great palace we
had read SO much about We found
little brick house with twenty
foot front. about the size of Bob Ded.
mans grocery store, jammed in be-
tween other brick houses. and the
front yard was not twenty feet square,
Of course the house was nicely finish
ed and afforded ample room for q
small family. In fact it was almost
exactly like a house exhibited at tLn
worlds fair as "an ideal residence for
laboring man." There are dozens Of
'.ouses in Fordyce We would rather
live in than Senator Jones pclace."
OF course he has saved several thous-
and dollars out Of his salary. If he
had not we would think he was a
thriftless sort of a fellow; but he is
not as wealthy as he is represented to
be. He holds $32O,OOO stock in a
patent cotton press, but this is under
mortgage for about all that it is worth,
and Senator Jones has but little hope
of ever paying the mortgage off. Sew.
eral years ago when the cotton grow
ers of the South were fighting the jute
baggage trust. he found that an Ar
kansas man had invented a press that
would successfully pack cotton with
out using jute bagging; so, prompted
by sympathy for the farmers of the
South, he assisted this man in perfect
ing patent in this press, and arrang.
ed to have the press manufactured
and thus acquired an interest in the
patent. But when the press was put
on the market he found that the cot.
ton dealers would not buy round bales,
because they were interested in the
baging trust and compress companies
and wanted to freeze the round bale
press out of business, SO he organizei
stock company with sufficient cap
ital to buy and handle all the roun,:
bales that he could put uD, and to get
some needed cash for this purpose, he
mortgaged his interest in the patent.
So far the press has not been = pay
ing institution. as less than three per-
cent Of the cotton Of the country is
packed in round bales. and the
chances are that the patent will have
expired before the press comes into
general use. There is nothing like ,
trust in the whole business and all
this talk about Senator Jones being
immensely wealthy" and IN great
trust is simply the polly ret of polite
iens

4 PROSPEROUS INDUSTRY.

A new h,nd of twenty dollar piece
has made its appearance in Nevada.
It shows a new sort of sweating and
one that was done by workman ex-
Ceedingly avaricious. The money max
er takes a gold piece and drills sew
eral small holes in the edge at the
milling These holes are about one
quarter of an inch apart and run all
the way through. The holes are then
plugged with composition wire
which prevents detection until some
time has elapsed when the plugging
furnishes.
The State Treasurer's Office receiv-
ed one of these coins from the Win
nemucca bank and two others were
passed upon Carsonites from other
sources.
1t is estimated that the enterprising
man who is engaged in this business
secures golG from each twenty dollar
piece to the value of about $3.50.
