Fort Scott Aug. 17.-An unusual

who is remodeling a house at Ninth
and Crawford streets. While excavat-

building which is being erected upon
the site of an old barn, a number of
counterfeit half dollars were found.
From the condition of the coins they
had evidently been there for long
time as they were badly furnished, and
the silver coating with which they
were covered. had been entirely worn
away in some places. The coins were
given over to the federal authorities.
John Downer, one of the contractors.
states that in all there were about 100

\ REA. TEST.
Virginia Two Cent Case Carried TO
United states Supreme Court.

The United States supreme court
when it convenes in October will de-
eide the suit dealing with the 2 cent
a mile passenger rate on the railroacs
of Virginia. The case involves not
only the validity of the rate itself. but
the method of imposing it.
The rate was determined bv the VIZ
ginia corporation commission and the
principal point on which the railroads
base their opposition is that such a
delegation of power transcribed the
authority of the state legislature.
The state defends the action of the
commission as judicial and claims
Judge Pritchard, who enjoined the en-
forcement of the commissions order
for the reduced fare, had no right as a
federal judge to review the action of
the state court. The supreme court
will be compelled to deal with this
point. it is said. preliminary to taking
up the case itself. as it challenges the
jurisdiction of Judge Pritchard's court.
If it should be held that the commas
sion's function is judicial rather than
