May Abolish $2 Note.
Distinctive designs of one della
five dollar , twenty dollar and fifty do
lar bllU , and perhaps those of eve
higher denominations , have been pn
pared. The two dollar bill may h
abolished , it Is reported. Its fate no
hangs In the balance , there bavin
been many complaints directed agalm
It , owing to Us tendency to stealthll
slip In with Its one dollar brother
and cause woe. If the two dollar bl
Is retained , it Is certain that its d
sign will be such as to make It flas
out from a pile of one dollar or fl\
dollar bills with a prominence thi
will permit of no mistake In Its ham
ling.

The treasury officials are seekln
suggestions from artists of the buron
of engraving and printing , and froi
artists and experts outside the goven
ment service. They even have sent I
Europe for new Ideas by which th
paper money may be Improved In a
pearance.
| Some treasury officials arc Inclitu
o favor oven a more radical change ,
and recommend that paper money bo
educed to about the size of French
nnd Italian notes of smaller donomlim-
Ions. Thcso notes are about three-
Iftlm the size of the American kind ,
uiel are more convenient to handle.
Would Cut Down Expense.
By reducing the size of the notes a
considerable saving could bo effected
n the expense of getting them out ,
and this Is a consideration with thu
ircscnt administration , which has
adopted a policy of small economics
n all departments with the view ol
bringing the government expoiiHCH
lown to the revenues and thus wiping
out the present deficit.
In general It Is the purpose of the
reasury officials to adopt now designs
or different denominations ami
classes of paper money that are slnv
[ tier and more artistic than the present
mes. It Is the feeling of the officials
md of the artists that the present do'
signs are altogether too elaborate ,
with too much scroll work , etc. More
plain surface , they believe , would
greatly Improve the appearance of the
jllls. Many new precautions are tc
be taken against counterfeiting.
Ex-President McKlnley's portrait al
ready Is carried on bank notes of cer
tain denominations and therefore wll
hardly be used to decorate the govern
merit Issues. The portraits of othoi
deceased presidents and promlnenl
\nu > ricaiis , however , may bo lookce' '
for , bearing In mind that they will ap
pear upon nil classes of currency 01
an equal denomination , whether treas
ury note , silver certificate , gold certlll
cate , or greenback.
Change In Size Causes Concern.
The matter of change In the size o :
the notes Is giving the most concern
for It is realized that Vf this takes
place the Issues of bank notes even
tunlly will have to conform. Innsmucl
as $500,000,000 in bank notes have
been printed recently and stowee
away , the change in the size Is some
what of a question to consider.

For Supreme Judge.
Beatrice Express : Judge J E. Cob-
bey of Beatrice is a republican candi
date for one of the three places to bo
filled In the supreme court of Nebras
ka , and the encouragement his candi
dacy has met In all parts of the state
Justify the expectation that he will bo
one of the winners. That Judge Cob-
bey is regarded exceptionally well
equipped for the responsible duties of
a supreme judgeshlp is attestPd by thej
letters of commendation nnd indorse
ment pouring in since his randlelacy
became known. Lawyers , different
public officials and other citizens have
recognized Judge Cobbey's excellent
fitness legal knowledge and experi
ence , judicial temperament , fair-mind-
edness and high character , all essen
tial to a clear anel Impartial determina
tion of facts and application of law
anel have volunteered assurance of
cordial support.
An Omaha lawyer of standing his
this to say of Judge Cobbey's fitness :
"There Is probably no member of the
Nebraska bar who posses.ses a more
thorough knowledge than Mr. Cobbey
of the many legislative enactments
and the law of the state since its foun
dation. One of the most highly es
teemed and efficient members of the
supreme court of our sister state of
Iowa. Justice McClain , was chosen
mainly because of his labors in that
state similar to those performed by
Mr. Cobbey in Nebraska. " A lawyer in
western Nebraska refers to Judge Cob
bey ns a man "whose natural ability ,
aided by profound scholarship , anel
supplemented by years of successful
experience , would Insure , In our ap
pealed cases , a fair , Impartial and con-
1 sclentlous finding of facts , followed by
3 a fearless but Judicious application of
i the law. " Anothe.r lawyer writes :
Mr. Cobboy's -works speak for his
qualification ; his work or chattel mort
gages and his book on replevin are
recognized ns standard. He seems to
have a genius for accomplishing work. "
Wo could quote columns of letters
speaking in the highest terms of tha
character , ability and cultured mind of
Judge Cobboy. Ho has lived In Ne
braska for thirty-two years and his
excellent fitness for a place on the
supreme bench is generally recognized
and appreciated.
Th people of Nebraska will not only
add strength to the supreme court ,
but bestow honor on a deserving Nebraska -
braska lawyer by nominating and
electing Judge Cobboy.
