SUNDAY TO BE DEAD"

There are no Developments today in
the local option fight. Chairman Toof,
OF the local option advocates, stated
that he was not ready to give out any
thing today, but would probably be
tomorrow.
II is understood that there is CON
sentative element at work TO stop the

city, ana not In the interest OF either
side.
Already the effects are beginning TO

The fneness of the silver used was
not interfered with. and the metal
therefore has almost the hardness of
steel. The weight of the coins used
was about 1900 ounces and at the
present price of silver represents a
valuation of 5000, but nearly six times
that amount was required to purchase
the coin from the government.
