OYSTER SURVEY is DELAYED
Cold Weather May Tie Up the Industry
In Delaware Until Spring.

Dover, Dec, 14.-The severe cold
weather may tie up the oyster indus

survey of the Delaware oyster beds
by the two government surveyors
from Washington who had been en-
gagged to begin at once, according to
an act of the last Legislature, the
survey for the State, and for which
S5, 900 was appropriated at the last
Legislature. The survey, however,
will be pushed to ascertain the num-
Der of acres of valuable oyster bottom,

Gets a Pail of Money.

Charles Leibson was somewhat
bewildered Wednesday when he re-
ceived a pail by express on which
there was IS cents charges and no
name of the sender. Charles paid
the charges and tho quite nervous.
he proceeded to open the pail, on
the inside of which, to his amaze
ment, he found two sacks of mon
ey. On opening the sacks both
were found to be we'll filled with
pennies and in one of the sacks was
the following note: "You are my
friend, you have this coming.
Your friend, nothing else. -
Charlie at once proceeded to count
the two sacks of pennies and found
that they contained just 2740. The
pail that the money was shipped
in is small sized candy pail and
was originally from the johnson
Biscuit Co., Of Sioux City, Iowa,
to one E. Nye, Lake Park, Iowa.
1 The pail was shipped by express
to Mr.. Leibson from Dysart, Iowa,
and the name of the sender was
not given on the express bill. The
sacks in which the money was tied
hare regular bank coin bags and on
| one of them is the name of Cedar
Rapids bank. The 274O pennies
weigh exactly nineteen pounds. Mr..
]. Liebson is at loss to know just
who sent the money or what it is
flor. He has been in business in
4 a number of places in the state
and this money is evidently Soon

, old account, yet Mr.. Liebson says
+ he does not know of any old &C.
count Of $27. 40 that he has on his
\ books, nor does he know Of any
one that owes him that amount.
!. From the tone of the note it is
1evident that it rightly belongs to
him, but why the sender took such
pains to pay it all in pennies and
!, who that party is, is an mystery
which undoubtedly will never be
solved. Charlie says if it for {

Presidents Famous Band a Mag.
nificient Attraction at Mitch"

"Desiring to hear the band Of
the United States Marine Corps,
the citizens Of Mitchell, S. D.,
recently petiioned the Secretary #
the Navy to allow the organizati""

to be held in that city from Sept.
q to oct. 2. The permission was
granted. Citizens If Pittsburg,
Pa, also asked that the band b.
allowed to play at celebration in
that city oct. II to %, Inclusive,
AID it has been decided to approve
that request also.
In view # the fact that the ma
rIne band is classed as one Of thr
best musical organizations in the
world, and that many Of the west
rrn residents If this country have
never had an opportunity to hear
it play, the citizens Of Mitchell,
knowing there will be a large at
tendance Of Westcrncrs in that city
during the coming corn palace
took the action stated. The men,
beers of the band have been granted
furlough from Sept. q to Oct. .,
ST. that they can take the western
trip. William II. Santelmann,
the leader, will be in charge.
The Marine band came into exis-
tencc July II, 1893 when by an
act If congress approved by Presl-
dent John Adams for establishing
and organizing a Marine Corps,
provision was made for sixteen
tifers, one to be appointed drum
or fife major by the commanders
Of the corps. This drum and fife
corps acted in the capacity of {
marine band, until Lieut.. Col.
Archibald Henderson of the Ma
rine corps brot to this country
from Naples, lta ly, thirteen Italian
musicians, who were enlisted as
drummers and fifers at the marine
J barracks in this city for musica
service. These Italian musicians
played band instruments, and they
formed what was really the nu
leus of the splendid organization
