Pays $4,000 for a Dollar; One of 6
Coined in 1904.

A Single United States silver dol
lar of the coinage of 1904 brought
$4,000 at Philadelphia Wednesday at
the sale of the collection of the late
M. A. Stickney, the best price during
the sale except $4,000, which a dealer
paid for a famous Brasher's New
York doubloon, the face value of
which is only SIG
There are but six specimens of the
1904 dollar known to be extant, one
of which is row at the mint in Phil
adelphia. sdckney received the rare
coin on Nay 9, 1s43. from the local
mint in exchange for other coin.
1t weighs a trifle less than AIS
grains, and, having been kept in a
chamois bag, it is extremely fine and
brilliant.
Before it changed hands again at
the end of sixty-four years dealers
and collectors wed with each other in
raising its value with their spirited
bidding. Mr.. Chapman, who finally
carried it off. opened the bidding with
$1,000 His competitors run the price
up in jumps of $3.50 at time, until
the price had scared to $4,000 Their
Mr.. Chapman's bid of $4,000 got the
treasure
Equally interesting was the bidding
for an $1s15 United States half~eagIe,
which was finally captured by S. II
Chapman for $4,000 This coin is Of
great rarity. there being only six ex-
tant.

Death of Keim Brooke.

Keim K. Brooke, one of the best
known men in Marshall county, died
at his home last night at the age of
~ years. For the past two years he
had been an invalid and of late there
had been a decline, so that by his
relatives and friends his demise was
not unexpected.
Mr.. Brooke was born May ~, 1885,
at Lawrenceville, Chester county, Pa.
He enjoyed a liberal education dur
ing his boyhood, and in 1852 came 20

in drug store at Laporte, and after
ward occupied a similar position at
Indianapolis. Subsequently, he re-
turned to Plymouth and began the
erection of building in this city, in
tending to engage in the drug trade.
He had scarcely completed this build
ing, however, when it was destroyed
by fire. He opened his store in an
other building, and was engaged in
the drug trade for about two years
He then sold his establishment, and
was afterwards engaged as agent for
the United States express company at
Plymouth. In 1871 he was appointed
deputy auditor under H. c. Burlin-
game, and for eight years served
faithfully in that capacity. In 1879
he became candidate for auditor of
Marshall county on the Democratic
ticket, and his merits were recognized
at the polls by the citizens, who
elected him by handsome majority.
He assumed the duties of his new po-
sition in 1879, and proved a faithful
and efficient officer kind and cour-
teous TO all alike, and ever willing to
accommodate all whose business LED
them INFO his Office. His nobility OF
character gained him, many warm.
personal friends, and among all who
knew him he was recognized as a
true gentleman and worthy citizen.
He was a-man of public spirit, and
friend of all enterprises designed
for the welfare or Improvement of his
county or city He was member of
the Methodist church and of the Ma
sonic lodge of Plymouth. On the 10th
|of May 1858 he was united in mar
riage with Miss Margaret H., daugh-
ter of William NJ. and Mary Patter-
son, of Plymouth.

"A Mild Laxative For Baby's Bowels

The infant or the child should not be given salts, purgative waters or harsh pills or tablets when the bowels are con- stipated, and neither should any medi- cine be used that contains narcotic.
 It is well for mothers to remember that there is no better, gentler or more effective remedy for children's stomach and bowel troubles than Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Its purity and mildness make it especially adapted to young peoples use. It works gently but sure ly, and containing, as it does, many tonic ingredients, it not only cleans out the congested bowels, but tones the sys- tenn and makes the child feel better in every way.
 Among the thousands who are using Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is Mrs. Spaldnc of her baby regularly and that she would not be without 1t. She has used 1t herself for long time and ought to know.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Truth,

Probably no show seen here this season can surpass "'rhe Truth" which was played at the Jefferson last night, with Clara Bloodgood in the leading role. That such a splendid play should have been greeted with small house was un- usual, but a matinee Is to be given today and another performance tonight and the theatregoers of Birmingham who real ly like to see comedy with just enough plot to hold one spellbound. will prob ably show more appreciation today.
 Only ten people are In the cast but each one knows how to act, and Clyde Fitch has written lines for each that fit perfectly. Clara Bloodgood displayed talent that is rarely seen here and made good with the audience from the start. The play shows her as woman who cant help telling lies, and who gets deeper and deeper into trouble as a result of if. She takes the part of Becky War der and most of her little lies are told to her husband, Tom Warder, which part is taken by William Courtney. MT Courtneys magnificent acting and hand some appearance captured everyone, and his popularity will be greater than ever.
 She tells so many lies that her hus- bands confidence is shaken and he tells her they must separate. She goes back to her father, who is even a worse pre- varicator and from whom she inherited her talent for telling lies. Stephen Ro- land is her father and this part is played by John Emerson, who is exceptionally good Zelda Zears. as Genevieve Cres- pigny, a landlady in love with Roland, kept the house in an uproar all the while she was on the stage.
 Frank Patton as Fred Lindon and Mrs Sam Sothern as Eve Lindon, his wife, showed up equally as well as the others, while Pickering Brown as Jenks made an admirable butler.
 The comedy lasts for three acts with several scenes, and the climaxes grow stronger and stronger as the play pro- gresses. The finish where Becky Warder refuses to tell another lie even to be- come reconciled to her husband, whom she loves better than anything else in the world, and his forgiveness, left an impression sweet to think of

 Layoff Is at Hand.

Omaha. Neb., 29.--Vice President and General Manager A. l.. Mohler, of the Union Pacific this afternoon declared that there is a lot of unnecessary sensation over the reduction in track forces which necessarily takes place at this season of of the year on account of the shorter hours and cold weather.
 we have been doing an exceedingly large amount of improvement work" ex- plained MT. Mohler, "and have put our property in the best physical condition it has ever known. Therefore, the op- portunity for reducing forces earlier than usual has been acted upon and on ac- count of the present national conditions, unquestionably wrong motive has been applied.
 we are continuing all improvement work which can be done to advantage and which we can utilize and work which can- not be carried on at normal expense will be discontinued"
