FINDS OLD PAPER
MONEY IN CELLAR
Negro Porter Brings to Light Script
Amounting TO $4,000.

Frankfort, Ky, Oct. 49,
Twenty.four thousand dollars in
cash that the Democrats left
here when they went out of office
i'll 1907 was Unexpectedly found
by the Republican officials today.
While $4,000 will not nearly
pay off the huge Indebtedness
which now hangs over the State
Treasury, that amount IL a tidy
little sum at any time.
The twenty four thousand was
"dug up" in the cellar of the old
capitol building this morning by
Joe Young, the colored porter of
the Auditors office. While re-
moving lot of old records,
boxes, etc, Joe turned up box
ei&ck full OF paper money, and
II is said thar he almost tainted
AZ rhe sight. A close eXamina-
tion, however, led him TO doubt
the value of the currency, and
this doubt was confirmed when
he brought the box out and it
was examined. The money"
proved TO be script notes of the
old bank of Kentucky, issued IN
1887, and ranging III deuonlna-
tipn from twelve and half
cents to two, five and ten dollars.
All Of the notes sa.s ,"Cashier of
che Frankfort Branch of the Bank
of Kentucky, pay to Thomas IL.
Page, Treasurer, or bearer, one
dollars, when the amount Of five
dollar, is presented. BY order
of the Board of Trustees.
Pnlhp SNiSert, chairman"
The notes are embellished
with cuts of old fashioned
oc-nes, steam engines, Indians,
etc, and do not look unlike
Confederate currency. They are
worthless now, of course, as the
Bank of Kentucky on which
they were drawn went out of
existence, but are quite a curl
usity and every body in the cap
itol was endeavorlng to secure a
"piece Of money" this morning.
