SCHOOL BOARD FINDS ITSELF
PRESSED FOR FUNDS.
CAN'T COUNT ON LICENSE MONEY

School Board Estimates That Their
Expenses Will Be $25,71o Next Year
and County Commissioners Will
Levy That Amount.
The Norfolk board of education esti-
mates that $23,S50 will be required to
run the Norfolk schools during the
coming year. In addition the board
will pay out $1,S60 on the bonded debt
of the district. Last year the estimate
called for an expenditure of $25, 400
with $1,630 added for interest
The amount to be raised by direct
taxation will be greater this year
than last. The board of education
will certify to the county commits
sioners an estimate calling for $685.
40 against $4,000 asked for last year.
Last June the school board took into
account $4,000 expected from saloon
licenses. This year. in view of the
strain put on the school treasury by
the supplies needed by the new high
school building and of the uncertainty
hanging over the amount of money to
be received next year from saloon IL
censes, the school authorities decided
to push the levy up to the twenty five
mill limit to make sure of the neces-
sary funds.
The estimate, which will be for
warded to the county commissioners
at Madison, was made at a special
meeting of the school board this
morning. The estimate prepared is

A $4,000 Return on Ten Cents.

John Roberts of Watkins, Schuyler
county, a well drller, last week pur-
chased of Angelo Dupree, junk dealer,
an old pump for 10 cents. 1t was appar-
emily of no value, but he thought there
might be some parts that he could use
in his business. When Mr.. Roberts and
his assistant took the pump to one of the
wells they were greatly surprised to see
gold coins drop out of the holes they
made. They at once finished the job and
found $1,000, nearly all in $50 gold
pieces. Who the pump belonged to at
the time the money was hidden or how
long it had been there is a mystery. The
latest date of one of the coins was 1888.
Mr.. Roberts at once deposited his find
in the Farmers and Merchants bank at
Watkins. He is willing to surrender the
find to any one who can prove owner
ship, but no claimant has yet appeared.
The junk man will make a memoran-
dun to examine the inside of every old
pump before disposing of it at any price.

Scarcity of the English Penny.

1t is not very generally known that
the British royal mint has lately been
waging a losing battle in trying to cope
with the abnormal demand for the MINI
BILE penny. To meet this demand they
have been turning out pennies at a rate
of four tons daily. The explanation of
the copper famine is said to be the in
vention of the penny-in-the-slot gas
meter. At first hearing this seems al
most whimsical. On closer investigation,
however, there seems to be q good deal
of reason in it. About 10000 pennies
go to the ton. Last year no less than
155,000,000 pennies were taken from
the meters belonging TO one London com
pany-the Gas Light and Coke company.
This is an average of 100000 pennies
a day. Another item in the case is the
fact that this scarcity of the penny be-
comes more acute at the end of every
quarter. This has been coupled with the
fact that the autometers are emptied
quarterly, but the connection here seems
10 be somewhat hazy.-Dundee Adver-

On the 4th of July, 1864, our regi-
ment the Tween Ny-seventh Indiana, had
been marching and skirmishing with
the enemy between Marietta, Ga, and
the Chattahoochie river. Night over
took us while we were passing through
a piece of timber with a dense growth
of brush up to the edge of the road on
either side. We were ordered to stack
our guns and lie in such positions as
to get them Immediately on the least
alarm, with all our accouterments on.
This we did by lying in line of battle
in the rear of our guns, and, being tired
and sleepy from constant skirmishing
and maneuveTing around Kenesaw
mountain for the past few days, were
soon far away in the land of dreams;
but about an hour after lying down,
the most of us were aroused by the
hurried commands of Fall in, steady,
men. ~ accompanied by the cracking of
brush and the laundering of a cavalry
charge (as we then thought) on the
opposite side of the road from where
we were. Some of the boys actually
climbed in small trees to keep from be-
ing run over, and some of the most ex.
cited fired their guns at the supposed
enemy and the officers called out
STEADY; don't fire until commanded"
For a few seconds suspense was
dreadful, but we soon found that the
enemy was as badly scared as we and
oSt I,n
tween us. On investigation we learned
that the scare was all brought aboat
by our cattle" guards, who were
driving in a bunch of cattle, and some
of the cattle, no doubt. while browsing
in the brush in the roadside, ran onto
some weary soldier, who, being thus
unceremoniously reused out of his
slumbers, in trying to get away, ran
onto some one else, who, in turn. ran
onto some one else and so on, and the
cattle, getting alarmed at the racket
went off pellmel in the opposite ,ii-
rection.
Thus was the alarm mutual and our
4th of July celebration complete with
no casualties save a few black eyes
and broken noses, caused by the first
ones who got alarmed running over
those who were more slow in getting
reused up. At the time we were dread
fully alarmed, but after it was all over
we were inclined to be ashamed of it.
and l presume some of them are
ashamed yet, for have never seen any
mention of it since. But why should
we be ashamed? 1t was very natural
inference.

A LEGEND OF MAMMALIAN.
Emperor's Fate Said to Have Been Fore
Swallowed by a Cracked Die.


The sale a few days ago for $27 each
of two specimens of the gold twenty
peso pieces coined For the unfortunate
Emperor Macmillan of Mexico and dat
ed 1866 brings attention to an interest
ing series of coins which made their APP
pearance during the brief period of the
attempt to establish European mon
arch upon the throne of the Montezu-
mas.
OF course one of the first acts of Max
imilian upon his accession to the throne
was the striking of coins bearing his
portrait and title. The silver coins were
of 8, 10 and 80 centavos and / peso.
The copper coinage of Macmillan
consisted of but single denomination
the ! centavo piece. The story was gem
orally circulated at one time that only
ninety pieces of the 20 pesos denomina-
ton were originally struck. This state
ment has not been confirmed, but it is
fact that the coin is scarce.
The first of the issues of Macmillan
attracted notice on account of the state
ment that the engravers of the pieces
which show the Emperor's bust had ex-
ecuted the design in such a manner that
by reversing the coin a likeness of q
donkey was produced. 1t requires a
great dedi VI 1t may De
said, to work out such a resemblance.
There has been an impression that all
the coins of Macmillan are scarce, but
this is not so. Great numbers of them
were struck, and as the Mexican dollar
has for many years been a favorite form
of currency in the Orient millions Of
such pieces found their way to the east
ern countries during the reign of Maxi
milan. The idea that the / peso piece
was held at a high premium may be ac-
counted for by the rumor in general cir
culation about 1868 that the Austrian
government was buying up all the Maxi
milan dollars at So each.
There is said to be one extremely rare
variety of the i peso which was struck
at the Mexico City mint in 1866. Ac-
cording to one story, the first dies broke
after thirty-iye pieces had been coined
and this number represented the age OF
Macmillan when he was shot 1t was
said also that one ball pierced his fore
head at the exact spot where a flaw APP

As a matter of fact, says an expert

few coins had been struck and the sub

The last gun was fired, the last roll was
called,
Half starved, half naked, grim, gaunt,
unappaled,
Stained with blood and powder, the old
army stood;
Il have done all things for your good ?"
Thus spoke their great leader, deep grief
on his face,
While halo of glory illumined the place :;
Some trailed their muskets, and some
sheathed their swords,
They had smiled at Grants cannon, they
wept at Lees words.
And Grant was courteous as the grand
knights of old.
No glad shouts were uttered, no loud
drums were rolled:
And the victors saluted those gaunt men
in gray,
And the fire-winged tempest died slowly
away.
