Adelaide Mooni appeared again last cveniugattliooporaiioii.se xvlth her ex cellent company in "Romeo and Juliet. " The W. C. T.

A man on the boltoms noticed the advertisement in tlio HIM : , found jho mules , put them in his stable and notified Mr. Hroxvn. John L. JIoxvo has commenced suit ngainst thu city t" recover on seine certi ficates Issued for filling of slreot.s by Plugoollo. The amount of thueortilicates is about $250. It comes to light that Robert Lincoln , son of the martyred president , oxvtis a largo tract of laud in Cruxvford county. It xvas purchased by hla father years before - fore he became president. The ease of Lnxvson , charged with s stealing n xvateh belonging to Mr. Hicks , i of ( jlcnxvood , xvas partially heard yester day. It xvas then continued until Mon day , anil the accused xvas allowed to go on'ifiJOO bail. All the committees of thu coasting car nival tire urged to meet at the city build ing this evening at 7:30 : o'clock. All should hu on band so that arrangements can bo made , and ready to report at a general meeting to bo held Saturday night. The prisoners in tlic county jail com plain of the cold. The hunting apparatus is not extra , but if the boys get n 1'oxv shix'ers they are not much xvorso off than folks outside , xvho gel a good many shivers in the course of the day xvith tlio thermometer hugging the bulb. The entertainment given by the young people of St. Paul's Jvyiseopni church m Masonic hull last evening proved sin en joyable one. Considerable praise is duo to the participants , as they nboxved more than ordinary dramatic ability for ama teurs. An information xvas filed in Justice Schurz' court yesterday charging M. Kirkendnll xvith obtaining money under fnlso pretenses. The claim is made that Kirkcndall on tlm 17th of last , December , represented to William Biirnell , that hu xvas tlio oxvncr of certain chattels , and thus got from Burucll $31. There are a. number ot confidence men hanging nbout tl'O ' city again. They do not seem to be doing any xvork , but as business in thir line is a little dull on the rnilxvnys just noxv , they run hero to rest nnd hatch un noxv schemes. The police men knoxv these follows , or ought to , and they should cither clear them out or run them in. Marshal Haxx'k of Ida Grove xvns hero yesterday after a young man xvhom he wanted lor obtaining money under false pretenses. Ho found his man , xvho gax'u the name of J. Smith , but the afl'air xvas settled and the young man allowed to go free xvithoiit any prosecution. It seems that the young man in n gambling game gave a check xvhich was not honored , and this caused the trouble. The cheek xvas made good yesterday and the affair dropped. Engineer Wheeler , who for so long a time xvas connected xvith the fire depart ment heio , is noxv the engineer of No. 8 , an Ahrens engine in St. L'aul. The other day there xvas a $300,000 fire there , a drug establishment , a hot blaze , and in the xvrito-ups of the blaze the papers of that city mnko special mention of Wheeler nnd his engine and their effective xvork. Ono paper says : "Steamer No. 8 is a dandy. The sparks from its stack xvont straight up as high as the live-story building in front of xvhich it stood."J Mayor Vaughan being dissatisfied xvitli the xvay the county board cut his bills xvhcn ho xvns justice of the peace , com menced suitagainst the county , the claim being for about $300. The case has been ( submitted to Judge Aylcsxvorth on n stipulated statement of tlio facts and is noxv beinir considered. The decision , which xvill probably bo forthcoming in a fexv days , xvill be of interest. It' the county uonrd cannot cut and slash such bills then the need is apparent for some further legislation. The city council agreed to meet at 4 o'clock every afternoon and read up the minutes , xvhich aru behind quite a xvays. Clerk Dalrymplu has kept the record up hi good blmpe , but the council has had so 2 * much other business that it hns failed to liax'o them read and approved. The aldermen seem to dread the task , and no quorum has been obtained for any of these reading circles. A great deal of fault xvas tound xvitli the former council for alloxving tlic reading of minutes to get so far behind. This council seems not to have improved in this respect. The aldermen have good memories , doubtless , and will bo able to correct i readily any little errors xvhich have crept | into thu errors , even if months have In tervened. It is comparatively easy to have errors creep in , for very fexv motions or resolutions are presented in writing , tlio cleric being expected to catch them on the liy.

TWO VERY TROUBLESOME SONS. A New Enterprise for the MluITs Con- KroRsnmii iymnii on Silver Vnll 1'olltlcs nittl I'crsonals Notes About Town. Opinion of a Prominent Mute. Edmund Uooth , editor of the Annniosa Eui-okn , who is an old man , and who has been dcnf and dumb from childhood , has written a letter concerning the institution for the deaf and dumb located here. Hu lias paid much attention to the education and earo of the deaf and dumb , and has been himself a teacher. Ills letter Is given as interesting to many , although Iiis intimation that better trustees could be selected will hardly liml endorsement , as the present board is made up of some of thu best men in Iowa. His letter is given , though , as written : ANA.MOSA , Feb. 2. 1 observe by the news- impels that thu euuuulttec appointed by the icKislulute to visit and repoit on the school lor the deaf nt Council Itlulls , Imvo been or- ] > cicd to go iiKiiin and iu\entente the ru- uioied abuses or luouulniitlcs.

' < t and disinterested adviser fully a < 'iualnted ] with the \\ink. To manage , through trustees , a school for thcblliul is not so ulllleult , for tlio piocf-s of cdiicatleu with them Is much thu same as \vltli theoidinary comnion schools. It is by speech und much In the way the trustees themselves nciinheit their own education. With the deal the case Is widely dilfeient , aii'l the trustees hcie aic at sea , and some times badly befosrged besides. hut us tnlcc a innncc bnckwnid a few years. Thu cianuiir legislature scut a committee to turn thuOouncll HlulTsschoollnsldcout. That comniitleurepoittdsalade.s as extravagant , knowIiiK nothing whatever of the nature of the woilc or of salaries paid in other schools ut like iiatuie , and beio 1 may as well lemailc lhat the numLer of schools In Amcilea , and suppoitcd by their icspective go\erument8 , exceeds litty. On the ad juuin- ment ol the granger legislature , the tiustces , in their dense ignorance of the state of things , cut down salaries In the state school at Coun cil Hlults one half. Tlo : buporlntondent and four teachers at once 11 signed , and were im mediately gh'on similar positions In schools In Nebraska. Kansas and Ohio. To 1111 their places on halt salary with tcachcis who knew their business was out of the question. Sal.v iles wcie put back as before to save what re mained. The trustees selected .Mr. Fol om , who had never been a teacher , as superin tendent. He was a good heaited man , and made no enemies , butpioved insiifticicntand in t\\o years was dismissed. Another , Kev. Mr. Itogors , was chosen. Like Foboin , be knew nothing of the business , but possessed a certain efficiency , andyet , llko bis picdccos- sor. bo was icgardcd by the teachers as a lig- urcnead , of no use and no value save as an ir- iltaiit , driving oil the matrons , and being of fensive generally to teachers liom sheer lack of knowledge ot the business. On his elec tion for a foiuth year.or.d bis wllo as matron , lour ol the best and most valuable tcachcis handed in their resignations. One took a position in the Nebraska school , one In one of tlio seven schools of the deaf in Xc\v Voile , one In the Philadelphia , and one In the Illinois schools. The trustees who had followed the advice ot their ignorant super intendent , never of the teachers in whoso fidelity and labor the lesponstuillly and success of the school depended , wcic at their wits cud. A thieat of exposuie by the editor of a certain inlluential daily brought them together , and a vote to dismiss the superintendent was the icsult. They then selected , as they should have done ycais bcfoic. an experienced teacher lor tlio head of the school. Intimations reach mo from time to time that Mr. Hammond Is not the right man tor the place. I have no personal knowledge in the cabc , and can only remark here that a teacher who is lit for the head of an establish ment of this kind is not picked up every day. He needs not onlv knowledge of the business , but also ready and sound judgment. We had many generals , but only one ( Irani ; a dozen statesmen , perhaps , and only one Lincoln. E. Boom. Politics and Personals. VAII , , Iowa , Feb. 3. Tlio now bell for the Catholic church has arrived and been placed in position. James A. Lancan is now able to be out and around again , having entirely recovered - covered from the severe injury sustained by him from falling on a slippery , icy sidewalk. Very little interest seems to bo what our citi/.cns apparently take in the com ing spring election. We have now live places in our town whore intoxicants are sold seven days in the week to everybody , young or old , richer or poor , drunk or sober , the only requisite being iho ability and will to pay. They each pay $25 per month in advance for the privilege of the common council's moral support to back them in their business. Mercantile business is neither booming nor dead in this town , the merchants each doing a fair business , but all com plaining of the scarcity of money among their patrons. Our new postmaster. M. J. Casey , is progressing linoly ; still , when ho holds the otlice as long as his immediate prede cessor and gives as much satisfaction ho will do well. Mr. T. F. Ratchford , ofE. T. Ryan & Co. , spent the last two weeks visiting his parents at Dnnbnry , Iowa. A petition has been circulated and signed by everybody hero requesting the passage of a law by our fiolons now in session prohibiting the running of trains on Sunday. Thu writer signed it of couiSQ , but remarked incidentally to the good ladies who were soliciting the sig natures that such a bill , while sorely needed , would most certainly not pass. But they were sanguine and sure of its becoming a law. Hon. Hugh Langan , member of the Dakota housoof representatives , is visit ing hcru with his aged mother and brother. Mrs. A. L. Strong made a short visit to Nebraska last week , with her brother , ( Jeorgo Do Wolf , who is in business at Ewlng in that state , Quito a little speculation is indulged inhere hero over the probabilities In the future in the event of Curson's bill in thu senate becoming a law. The democrats all want E. E. Aylesworth for one of the dis trict judges in such an event , no matter who tlio others may bo , while the repub licans , In this vicinity at least , have cen tered on no ono in particular , What evidently worries thu republicans is , who will the democrats nominate for congress the coming year. Certain , as the district now is , u nomination on the democratic ticket is equivalent to an election , if the right person is in fact nominated. lint who is that person ? That's the question. Judged as it looks to ono up a tree in this neck of the woods now , everything points to Lyman being Iiis own successor. 1 say everything , unless the democrats got put of their old rut and make no mistakes. Democrats and republicans alike are rejoicing over Keith's getting the appointment tor 'postmaster in Den ison. Hut then the present incumbent in that position , Mr. J. Fred Meyers , has not been left out In the cold , received a .wow appointment in fact , a fat oflieo , ho is now u justice of the peace , and the /resign. " When npon la t word n bystander inquired : "What's that Mr. Meyers ! " and received the fol lowing reply : "Oh , Ivas made esquire. " Wo have an Irish nipcr in town , and by the way ho Is being lionized by every per son In town ono would be led to imagine him the "last minstrel singing his last roundelay , " 11.

Congressman Lyman , feeling that there has been some misunderstanding among his constituency as to his position on the silver question , writes as follows : Hon. W. F. Snpp , Cliahninn Concessional Committee , Ninth District of Iowa. Dear Col : 1 understand Hint in Iowa quailcrs my position upon tlic silver coinage question Is not tally understood , and 1 take this method of stating in an nulhoritntUuuay , jtistwhero 1 stand upon that question of paiamount ini- poilance to the people of our district , as also to the people of the west generally. Our in terests In that regard ate. In my opinion , dhcclly antagonistic to thosu of the "gold bugs" of Wall sticcl , and the other money centers ot the cast. 1 am unqualifiedly and absolutely onpo cd to suspending the silver coinage. 1 shall slicniiously oppose any change In tlmpicscnt law of compulsory coinage , unless It might ho such modification of the piesent law as would permit free coinage ot silver , thcie- foie placing sllxeron an exact equality with gold In every lespect. Many warm Irlniids of sll\cr advocate such a chanire , but no friend of the people , can or will advocate the stoppage of the coinage of silver. 1 am'also in favor of- Issuing small silver ceitlllentesot the denomination ot one , two and five dollars , so that they may go Into inoM ! grncial circulation among the people at larcc , than the present certilieatcs of ten dollars and multiples of ten can do. 1 ara also In fax or of standing by the stan dard silver dollar as It Is. and I am opposed to muting any moie silver into It. To do that , and to increase the amount of silver In the dollar , Is to vhtitally acknowledge that gold alone is the standaul of values In this eouutrv , and not both silver and gold. This hl-nielallists cannot atToid to do. 1 wish now that my position on the silver question may bo fully nuJers'o ' > d. Hespect- lullv yoms , J. IA.MAX , M. C . Washington , D.

Prices AVnich Can Be Obtained for Certain Rare Uollura anil CeutH. Hartford Times : The mania for col lecting appears to bo common to all of the human race. The school boy collects postage stamps , marbles ami business cards. The youth gathers canes , pipes , and photographs of actresses ; while even the most staid citizens have their hobbies in the collecting way. Ono will seek rare books , old books first editions of American authors , etc. The hobby of another will bo prints of old-time celebrities : ho xvill gloat over an engraving of Frederick the Great by a cotcmporaneous artist , regardless of the fact that Frederick never gave an artist a sitting after his accssion to tin ! throne of Prussia. But by far the most xvidcspread of all these queer fancies seems to be that of coin collcctiiifj. Some collectors seek coins of the Russian em pire , others these of the famous European sovereigns , as Peter the Great , Karl XII. of Sweden , Napoleon , etc. ; others search for coins of America colonial , state and federal. These latter , if seeking to fill up a complete series , are attempting the impossible. Strange as it may seem , the oldest coins are not the rarest , neither do they com mand the highest prices. For example , the coin of vEgina , said t3 bo the most antique Greek coin , sells at from $2.50 to $8 at auction , xvhile an American dollar of the date of 1804 , in good condition , is valued at $1,000. A collection of Roman coins can ba readily and comparatively cheaply acquired , as far as specimens of each epoch is concerned , though a col lection of all varieties of Roman coins would bo priceless and would bo a load for a wagon. However , the collection of American colonial and United States coins seems to be the phase most in vogue in Boston of this particular hobby , and some very fine collections are owned In this city. The early colonial - onial coins arc scarce , and the de mand for them is brisk , thus the market for them is ulways active. The dealers in coins , of whom there are several in Boston , pursue the system of buying cheap and helling High , as these from xvhom they purchase are ignorant of the value of the coins they sell and regard all above its face value as clear gam. A dealer xvill oiler for an Oak Tree shilling $1 , xvhon ho can readily sell it for from f5 to $10 , and the same for other varieties , A Pino. Tree shilling is rare , and xvill sell from $10 upwards , xvhilo an Oak Tree shillinc'iof the same year. 1052 , is worth but half as much. A Carolina half-penny , for xvhich a dealer - or coolly oilers from $5 to $8 , has been sold at auction in Now York City for * S5.S5. This coin xvas struck in 1004. The Louisiana copper coinage- the French royal and republi can governments arc xvorth from 50 cents to $2 , xvhilo xvhat is called the fteorgo Clinton cent , struck in New York in 17b7 , It in good condition , is valued at Irom $ i50 to $50. The Washington cents are all rare , that struck in the die from xvhich the so-called Washington half dollar was struck selling at from $ > tl to $30 , according - ing to condition. The Kentucky cents are also rare , and sell for a good price. The United States coins are of all coins the hardest for one to secure u complete collection. The coinage of 17W ! is very rare and sells readily at $15 , A dollar of 17U4 has been sold at $100. and then not in the best condition. The half-cent of 17011 is rare and sells readily at $15 , while the silver quarter of the same date is valued at from $3tof5. The half-dollar of 17UO is xvorth * 30 and that of 1707 f 25. The cent of 17U9 is a bargain at from if I ) to $10 , and the half-dime of 1802 is rare to excess , a specimen that xvas bent and badly xvorn having been sold in 1875 for $35 ; a line specimen would probably com mand double that sum. All thu coins of 1804 are rare , except the half-cent , which is very common. The dollar lar , of which 10,570 xvoro coined , is for some unknown reason the rarest of all American coins , but eight copies being knoxvn. This coin xvhich has been largely counterfeited , xvill sell for from $800 to an unknown sum , ac cording to condition. The half-dollar , of xvhich 150.51U xvere struck is oitremoly rare , and is seldom sold. Probably thcro i j is no limit to its vnlno Bnvontl a desire of the buyer to acquire it. The cent of 180t can be bought for fcj 'and the quarter dollar for ' . Tie sflx-cr $ ) quarter of 1823 is also exceedingly r\rc \ , a very fine specimen having uccil sold for $75 , though one good enough for a pocket niece can be had for sfio. The quarter of 1827 is ono of the rarest of quarters. A x-ory line proof sold for $105. and an ordi nary copy is purchased by tlio dealers at $20. The pattern dollar'of 1830 is xvorth $15 , and that of t8T > , $5. The half dollar of 1830 , with tlio milled edge , is sold for fnmi $5 to $10 , ami the same is paid for tinarlcrs of 1853 xvitliout the arrow hestds at the side of date. The cent of 1857 is valued at § 3 , and the nickel cent of 1850 at the same price. The half cents from 1831 to 1810 are xvorth from ? t to $8 each , and that of 1852 at $5. There are some coins that arc unique , as the set of patterns from which xvas evolved the tr.ido dollar. The six dollars xvhich formed the set sold for $ ; M xvheii put nil at auction at the sale of Col. James Taylor's cabinet in Js'exv York. The cent of tlio Confederate States government , struck in 1801 , their own coinage , is rare , nnd xvill sell readily at from $5 to $10. The txvcnty-cent pieces of 1877 and 1878 are eagerly sought for at $2 each , and the same is true of the two- cent piece of 1873 nt § 1. In medals there is not so much compe tition , though there are many collectors. A coronation medal of Charles II of Eng land has been sold for forty cents , and some that onu would naturally suppose to be rare from their ago at even loxvcr prices. The strangest thing to coin collectors is the question xvheru the coins huxo gone. Many of the dates noxv rare xverc coined in largo amounts. The quarter- eagle of 1771) ) is now unknown to numis matics , yet 480 of them xvoro minted. The half-eagle of 1815 , of xvhich ( J35 wore struck , is noxv valued at ? . )0 , and the double eagle of 18 ltof ! xvhich only patterns xvere made , is xvorth iflOO. A largo num ber of valuable coins undoubtedly pass through the hands of storekeepers an nually , and xvill continue in circulation until so badly xvorn and obliterated as to be xvorthlcss to u collector. Many ticket sellers , cashiers , etc. , make a very snug sum yearly by xvatebiiig the coins that pass through their hands , and exchang ing those of rare dates for coins of similar denominations that do not command a premium.
