—For the information of the pub
lie, the story of tho depreciation of

tho. amount mentioned some twenty
years ago, and carried it as a pocket
piece, and during that time, every
trace of engraving and embossing,
with the exception of the head of
Liberty, which could bo discerned,
had been,obliterated. The coin waB
taken to a local goldsmith, who
weighed,the piece and sent tho own
er to the bank, giving him the ex
act worth, which the bank verified
but wero unable to purchase same,
without first ascertaining its worth
which might be in the neighbor
hood of §17. The gentleman re
turned to the shop and there it
was purchased for exactly $ 17,
depreciation of $3 in twenty years
or moro A lesson might be drawn
—those who have gold dollars
should dispose of them before a
score of years have passed by.,

—The recent election of bishops

•vitli the approval of tho members of
that societyTTSpeeially in the west,
as several of the new bishops chosen
were from middle west colleges and
pastorates. Bishop W. S. Lewis,
formeriy president of JVlcrningaide
college at Sioux City, was principal
of
Epworth Seminary for many
years and is well known by a large
circle of acquaintances in this city.

tution, made the college,one of
£h'e" foremost Methodist Episcopi^l

Complaint is often made against
bicycle riders on the sidewalks about
town It will be well to remember
that the city ordinance on the regu
lation of
Buch
riding, rules that no
rider will be allowed on the walks
within thre? blocks of the intersec
ion of Main and Franklin streets,
aud beyond such distance, when the
rider is using a walk he is obliged to
dismount tweiity feet from any per
son on such walk. He is also obli
ged to not exceed a limit of six
miles un hour,, and to use an alarm
hell, which shall be fastened to the
mach'ne, and after dark, when rid
ing, to have attached a lamp. The
penalty _.frr disobeying this ordin
ance is not less than one dol
lar nor more than §10. In a num
ber of instances, four or five ridera
will follow .each other about town
after dark, tho one in front using a
lamp and the remainder of the- pro
cession leaving their' bicycles in
darkness, and furthermore, disregard
the practice of dismounting or warn
ing the pedestrian of their approach
iu any way, save by a whistle, which
seldom given until the rider has
pissed and oftentimes collission
uarrowly averted. It is tho duty of
the marshal to stop this promiscu
ous disobeyance by bicycle riders
and alter a few fines have been irn'
poBed
it may serve as a reminder to
the other forgetful persons.
The curt ent number of Leslie's
Weekly for May 28th, has the fol
lowing account, relative to Miss
Lucy Robinson, a daughter of of
Mr. and
MrB.
W. B. Robinson, of
Ryan: "Educators in many parts
of the country have bemoaned tho
great decline in our schools of the
old fashioned art of spelling. It is
refreshing to read of spelling con
tests still taking place in certain
parts of the laud. It is also pleas
ant to know that some of those de
velop young spellers of phenomenal
ability. The little town of Ryan.
Iowa, has in Miss Luoy Robinson,
agod only ten. a prodigy in this line.
Recently, teams of ten each, rep
resenting Black Hawk and Delaware
counties, Iowa,' met in a spelling
tournament. Delaware won both
team and individual honors, the lat
ter going to Miss Robinson, who
stood out against nineteen compet
itors. I-Ier victory was a popular
one, and all united in congratulating
the youthful champion of the spell
ing bee. Miss Robinson is a daugh
ter of Supervisor W. D. Robinson,
of Adams township. She seems to
to have -intutive knowledge of the
construction of words, and she thus
easily succeeds where many an old
er person fails, despite arduous
study. This was her third" great
victory as a speller. She won the
Comity
championship in tho spring
of 1007, and also the championship
at the Delaware County Fair. Her
brother Byron was second place in
the recent contest and first place in
the county contest of 1900. Affairs
of these are great incentives to the
mastery of tho

the dam here. He says that the dam
owners along the Maquoketa have
been notified several timeB to build
the fishways but no attention tias
been paid to the notices. He says
that now the matter will be forced
by progress of law. Not only the
dam at Hopkinton, but those at
Monticello and other ..points down
the river will be brought to time for
the same neglect of duty. The stat
ute provides for a consideradle fine
for every day that the work is delayed
after the completion of the notice.

ways will in a few years tend to re
stock the river hereabout, for it will
permit the Mississippi river iish of all

ble for the game fish to come up be
cause of the intervening damB. Af
ter the installation of the fishways all
fshing will be prohibited within 300
feet of the dam.—Hopkinton Leader!

populated corners of the big city,

their Disc Harrows left, but they arc going fast.
