It comes to light that Robert Lincoln ,

It xvas purchased by hla father years before -

The ease of Lnxvson , charged with

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.

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 :

To manage , through trustees , a school for

of cdiicatleu with them Is much thu same as
\vltli theoidinary comnion schools. It is by
speech und much In the way the trustees

With the deal the case Is widely dilfeient ,

Thu cianuiir legislature scut a committee to

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.

Very little interest seems to bo what

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

Mr. T. F. Ratchford , ofE. T. Ryan &

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.

( 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

Ijymnil on Silver.
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.

question may bo fully nuJers'o ' > d. Hespect-

COIN COLLECTING.
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.
