THE LAW CONCERNING COINS.

they asked the proper authorities (the
information would have been furnish

law. they would have found in Section
165. public act No. $50, these words:
Whoever fraudulenty, by any art,
way or means shall deface, mutilate,
impair. diminish, falsify or tighten the
gold or silver coins which have been
or which may hereafter be coined in
the Mint OF the United States, shall be
fined not more than $4,000 and mpris-
onment of not more than Ave years"
Much trouble and expense would
have been saved the firm and the gov
eminent had the law only been read.
1t all happened in this way. Some
clever advertiser conceived the idea
of an "ad" of metal just the size of a
dime, with the wording and printing
placed in, euch a way that at first
slarce it would appear to be a dime.
The idea was cleverly executed. A fair
imitation of the head of Liberty was
on one side and the advertisement was
on the other. The number was placed
where the date on a dime is and the
first glance certainly impressed one az
the real coin. The other side had n

There were 10000 of the metals

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF moon
ON NOVEMBER SIXTEENTH

A total eclipse of the moon Is to oc-
cur on the evening of Nov. 16, when
our familiar satellite and nearest cell
estial neighbor will pass through the
earth's shadows and produce a spec
tacle that will be visible to Europe
and Africa. and in part to North and
South America and southwestern Asia.
This eclipse will be the last i'm the
series of four, two of the sun and
two of the moon, announced for the
present year. and it will afford an in
teresting exhibition well worth observ-
ing should the sky be favorable. The
phenomenon may be viewed to good
advantage without any optical assis-
lance whatever, and n telescope will
not be necessary, for an eclipse of the
moon may be seen just as well by the
naked eve under favorable atmospher-
ic conditions.
The coming eclipse will be visible
from beginning to end throughout the
greater portion of the United States,
the weather permitting, and the moon
will remain in the earths shadows for
hours and IA minutes. The moon
will enter the shadow at 4:44 p. m.
and leave it at 1858 p. m, the middle
Of the eclipse occurring at 6:21 p. m,
central standard time. and the total
phase will continue for alnost one
hour. AS the moon will be i'm perigee
or nearest to the earth, her disk will
appear somewhat larger than usual.
and the magnitude of the eclipse that

The eclipse, beginning at con-
venient hour i'm the evening il will
occur under the most favorable con-
dtions for observation should the
weather be pleasant, and next to the

WRESTLING BOUT
HERE SATURDAY
COPPER COUNTRY CATCH AS
CATCH-cAN ARTIST WILL
MEET SAILOR JACK OF
DULUTH.

X. j. Wirtanen. a copper country
product, and Sailor Jack. of Duluth,
will meet in a matched catch catch
can wrestling contest Saturday even
ing of this week in the Laurium town
hall, for a substantial purse.
Both will weigh i'm around the 100
pound mark. The bout will be for the
middleweight championship of the
northwest and it is expected a great
contest will be put up. Wirtanen has
been meeting all corners of late and
has improved a great deal since he left
the copper country about year ago.
Sailor Jack is one of the best men
met and defeated many good wrest-
lers, and is one of the cleverest men
in the game. Both wrestlers are in the
Zenith city at the present time, and
are expected here Friday.
Those in charge of the bout Locally
have arranged for some excellolt
preliminaries. Wrestling will ST. RI
promptly at $3.50 o'clock, and il is
hoped to stage the main bout abort
p. m. The match is for the best two out
of three falls.
Wirtanen has written local friends
to the affect that he is in the best of
condition. He referred to his recent
bout with a Hindoo, whom he wrest-
led for three hours without a fall, de-
spite the fact that Wirtanen injured
one of his arms early in the game. He
states that he stayed with the Hindoo
because some of his friends had bet
heavily on the contest and although
severely handicapped through injury
would not quit. II is this spirit that
has put wirtanen into the forefront in
the middleweight class.
