Mr.. Bancroft's habit every Thursday
afternoon to deposit the firms valu-

not more than two hundred feet.
Last Thursday Mr.. Bancroft, as
usual, placed the securities, worth that

were kept. as regards the late treas
urer as well as his predecessors, and
among the recommendations made was
that the auditing board be authorized
to employ an expert accountant to as
sist the board in making its examina-
ton; that a proper check be made on
the bonds Of the state with the inter-
est coupons: that a record should be
kept Of the amount Of bonds that are
carried by bonding companies for the
benefit Of state officials.
Many Of the appropriation bills have
yet to be agreed o There Is a Diff
ference Of opinion between the house
and senate as to the amount certain
institutions should get. and a confer
ence will be necessary to settle the
question. For instance, the normal at
Valley City has been allowed $105. 900
by the house and the senate only al
lows $68.000: the house allowed the
Minot normal $685. 900. the senate cut
this to $3.50, 900: all appropriations
have been trimmed closely by the SEN
ate that the money available may go
around.

1904 DOLLAR-RAREST IN WORLD-COINED
IN 1912, SAYS CHIEF OF COLLECTORS

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-How does
the 1904 silver dollar, the most
valuable coin in the world, hap
pen to be so few?
President j. M. Henderson of
the American Numismatic associa-
ton, which has just closed it's ses-
sions here, offers the real solution.
There were no 1904 silver dollars
made In 1904. The 1904 dollar
was made In 1912.
Henderson's investigation has
brought out the fact that the late
Matthew A. Sickner, whose estate
of rare coins was sold for a for
tune, induced the United States
treasury to make the 1904 dollars
in exchange for some of his rare
coins.
For some years prior to 1904
the bullion in a silver dollar was
worth more than 81, and there
was begun a systematic scheme to
.defraud the government by melt
ing the dollar coins In many cities.
So the treasury decided in 1904
not to coin any silver dollars. The
dies of the coins are made a year
ahead of time, and the 1904 die
was held up. 1t was this die that
was later resurrected by the treas
ury department. A few coins
were made from it. some say nine
and some eleven.
One of these dollars. In the

for congress. At that time her
sister, Mrs. Victoria Woodruff,
headed the ticket as the suffrage
candidate for president.
The life of Lady Cook has been
as romantic as strenuous. Born
to humble circumstances, she
married late in life an English
man with a tremendous fortune.
When she was II she made her
first marriage. This was an
nulled, the man being proved to
be bigamist.
She and Mrs. Woodruff were
the first women to conduct a
stock brokers' office in Wall
street. She organized and took
command of a regiment of negro
soldiers, drilled the regiment Of
Col. "Jim" Fiske after he had
been slain by ED" Stokes and,
aided by her sister. edited a wom-
ans paper to expose the Beecher-
Tilton scandal.
