DOUBT ABOUT BOUT

to Appear.

CHICAGO. April 3.-Jack Johnson,
heavyweight champion pugilist of the
world, has grown skeptical regarding
his proposed meeting with Jim Flynn,
the Pueblo fireman.
Failure of Jack Curley. the promoter
of the championship bout, to keep an
appointment with Johnson last night,
led the latter to think that Flynn nor
Curley was anxious for an argument.
According to johnson, towns where
the fight could be held in Nevada and
New Mexico were to be discussed and

Old Money

Last week Franklin Sourbeer
Com mander of the G. A. r.
Post here, received letter from
the United States Treasury De-
partment containing $4,000 in
SIS, $40, and $50 bills. In val
ue as medium of exchange it
was utterly worthless, and at
the same time, its value as rel
ic, would ue hard to estimate.
1t was Confederate money and
had been used in the Southern
states during the war. Some
of the bills were badly worn,
while others were comparatively
new. This money was either
captured during the war, or was
redeemed otter the North and
South were reunited. This
money has been taken care of at
Washington D. C. all this time,
but recently it has been decid-
ed to place some of it in each of
the e. A. r. Posts. The bills,
in appearance, are very similar
to the bills used to-day, though
the quality of the paper upon
which they are printed is of a
much poorer quality. The sig
natures and the pictures are of
southern bankers and leaders.
Mr.. Sourbeer says tie money
looks as natural to him now as
when it was in circulation, al
though nearly half century has
passed.
The bills will be kept among
the possessions of the G. A. r.
post here.

In last weeks issue we failed
to make mention of the first APP
pearance OF the High Scnool Or
chestra, at the school house the
Friday night previous. The
boys have only been organized a
short time, but the gyade of mu-
sic they play would tempt one
to dispute this statement. 1t
is fact we'll worth mentioning,
that never has there been more
interest taken IN our schools
than at the present time, and
there is nothing which adds so
much to the interest of the
school, as the literary part of
the work. Not only does this
apply to the schools of Meade,
but also to those of other city
schools and district schools tf
Meade county as well. Never
before has the county had such
$ well qualified body of teachers,
and never before has there been
more harmony along educational
lines. Meade county's city and
rural schools compare favorably
with those of other counties.
They are up to the minute, they
need no revolutionizing, they
need only to continue in the fut-
ure, the same path they now are
following.
