BIDS on BONDS.
City Council VIII Meet on Tuesday
Night, at Which Time Bids on
school Bonds VIII Be Opened.


The special meeting of the City
Council, which is to be held Tuesday
night, will be one of unusual i'm
portance- At this meeting bids on
the bonds which are to be ISSUED BIZ
the council for the purpose of build
municipal Improvements will be
opened The bonds, which are to be
issued in the sum of $4,000, will
bear interest at the rate of pei
cent, which interest will be payable
semi-annually- Mayor Ganter las
already received numerous inquiries
from capitalists and financial brokers
concerning the bonds, and it is be-
lieyed that they will bring a good
premium.
Another important question which
is TO come up for discussion at the
meeting Tuesday night is the location
of the school. Many sites have been
suggested, and great deal of inter-
est is being manifested in the matter
Among the sites most prominently
mentioned are Rabb's Garden, a
large dot on the square just north of
this property, a lot Immediately
north of the plant of the Standard
Oil Company, which is owned by Col
c. l.. Lincoln, and a lot in the Stew
enson, Stinson & Cox addition, near
the Standard Stove Works All of
the prospective locations will be care
fully considered by the council, and
the one that is considered best suited
for the purpose for which it is to be
used will finally be purchased. The
architect for the school has already
been selected, Mr.. Krause, of Meri-
dian, having been commissioned to
draw plans for the building, and as
soon as the site has been decided
upon bids for the construction of the
building will be asked for.

JASPER WON EN- ALL
THE ALABAMA SLUGGERS TOOK
THREE STRAIGHTS FROM
LOCAL TEAM-GAMES
CLOSE AND EXCITING.
Wheeler. Turner and Reid All Pitched
Great Ball, But the Jasper Boys
Were Too Strong For Locals.
Rain stopped Last Game.

When mistake is made in news
paper Office and no one else will take
the blame it is generally charged up
to the Printers Devil but as there
is no such functionary connected with
the Columbus baseball team it is hard
to fix the responsibility for the loss
of the opening game of the series
with Jasper last Thursday afternoon,
which was won by the visitors by
score OF TO 3. Certainly Peck
Turner, who was in the box for the
locals, can not be blamed for the
outcome, for he pitched a remarkably
good game, having struck out ten
men and allowed only five hits Nor
is any member OF the team individ-
uaIly responsible for the depIorable
result In speaking of the team as
whole, however, one must tell an
other story The boys failed TO get
together, and through lack of team
work and by costly errors II critical
moments allowed the gentlemen from
Jasper to faunt the flag OF victory
in their faces.
While Jasper won her victory fair
~ and squarely, she did not accom-
plish the task without a struggle.
The team is perhaps the strongest
amateur aggregation that ever APP
peared here, and in fact the organi-
zation as it now stands is not COM
posed entirely of amateurs. Alcott,
who played third base Thursday aft
ernoon, is member OF the Birming
ham Southern League team. He is
now on the pay roll of that organiza-
ton, but is off on temporary leave
of absence because of the fact that
he is not needed just at present Al
though AIcott is a professional it
is doubtful if he eXcelS one iOta the
team average. They not only play
baseball, but they think baseball and
dream baseball. This may be con-
strued as extreme enthusiasm, but
one can not be too enthusiastic about
his business or his profession, and
enthusiasm in baseball Will generally
win a victory as it does in the more
serious battles of life. Before going
on the diamond the members of the
Jasper team meet and discuss each
coming game, and map out as far as
possible the game in detail. OF
course they can not foretell the diff
ferent plays that viii be made, but
each player knows what he is eX-
pected to do under given conditions,
and when the occasion arises there
is no hesitation. This is a good plan
for the home team to follow. The
aggregation is made up of splendid
players, but there is lack of team
work, and this defect should be rene

Mahon and Steele, and the following

After having Fridays game almost
as good as won the locals lost out in
the ninth inning. At the close of the
eighth inning the score stood 3 TO 1
in favor of Columbus, but Jasper,
after making a score and tieing the
game, made another run and won out,
the contest having finally resulted in
a victory for the visitors by score
of 8 TO 2.
Fridays game was undoubtedly
one of the prettiest ever seen in
Columbus. Wheeler was in the box
for the locals and pitched a great
game. He realized that he occupied
a pivitol position on which all eyes
We're centered, and probably worked
harder than ever before in his life
Not only did Wheeler work hard, but
he received excellent support from
the felders. The Columbians out
played their opponents at every point
and had the game won, when, by
the mere dropping of ball with
which the runner had already been

BY systematic piping" and the Use
of stool pigeons" | learned in the early
part of 1876 that Ellis was one of a
band of ''coney' men who were run
ming off big issue of scrip in the town
of Boscobel, in the central western part
of Wisconsin.
Despite the studied and artful secrecy
of the counterfeiters it is true that sell
dom was big issue of "coney" floated
without the secret service having some
intimation of the forthcoming event.
The showing" of an issue was always
preceded by the absolute retirement of
the manufacturers and the mysterious
activity on the part of the dealers. In
other worus, the coming event got into
the wind, and, while we may have had
no definite knowledge whatever, we
could scent the approaching issue in
cases by keeping in touch with the diff
ferent men who were always under sus-
picion. In this case it was learned that
Napoleon B. Latta, wealthy French
farmer living 15 miles from Boscobel.
had contracted with the Ellis crowd for
all the "coney" they could furnish him
of certain standard of excellence. We
even got so far into the secrets of the
'coney" men as to learn that Latta was
to pay 35 cents in genuine money for
each dollar of representative currency.
which, by the way, was an unusually
high price, as the market quotation in
those days for a good quality of co.
ney" was II cents on the dollar.
In the spring of 1878, therefore,
went to Boscobel. Registering at the
hotel under a false name and from
small town in Missouri, | kept pretty
much to myself and out of sight. In
order to keep the landlord from be-
coming inquisitive, as the landlards of
hotels in small towns are prone to do.
| asked him number of questions con-
corning the opportunity for successful
ly loaning money on farms in the vicin-
ity. These questions had the desired
effect of preventing others from ask
ing me questions which l might arouse
| suspicion by not answering.
In the engraving department of the
United States government there is an
elaborate system of screens, reflectors
and shades by which is obtained the Pc
culiar soft light necessary to the en-
craving of plates from which currency
is printed. By counterfeiters this sys-
tenn must be initiated as closely as
limited facilities will permit. and
