Rev. W. C. Curtis exhibited to as to
day an 1871 dollar, called by this gener
ation "the dollar of our daddies," which
is now a rare coin, and worth consider
ably more than 100 cents, from its value
by coin collectors. Judge Northup, in
his speech a few days ago, eaid he had
seen but three in his life. Mr. Curtis'
dollar is one his son cut his teeth upon.
That son, who is now at Williams col
lege Mass., casts his first vote the com
ing November.
"Cyclone" Davis spoke to a crowded
house last evening at . the court house.
The appellation preceding his name is
caused from the remarkable emphasis
he frequently gives the last word of a
sentence, by which he appears to be try
ing to shake his teeth loose. . His whis
kers vibrate about 1.G00 times to the sec
ond and a soundful howl emanates f ro'mS dell i
a confused space 15 inches in width Tfh
above his shoulders which he endeavors
to fill at one and the same time with a
74 inch head. It is certainiv a cvclonic
spectacle, unusual and unique in cam
paign oratory. However. Mr. Davis is
interesting to all and probably convinc
ing to the class of people of which he is
an exponent. He confined himself al
most pntirpl v In thn mrtnoo
dismissing the tariff by 'saying that it
made no difference whether the tariff
was high or low, or no tariff at all. We
not import wheat, wool, cotton or
umber, and a tariff on thoee articles was
consequently unnecessary. We Bhall
not attempt to reproduce his speech.
Davis mu9t.be heard to be appreciated.
The Australian Ballot.
While at the Locks the other day Mr.
A. M. Kelsay met a traveling salesman
who has lived in Australia who told him
many interesting facts concerning the
Australian ballot system, from which it
appears that we have as yet but a very

About 7 o'clock yesterday morning a
man ottered to Ben Wilson a check for
$35 on James Connelly, a sheepman,
which' Mr. Wilson cashed. Shortly
after 9 o'clock Mr. Wilson took the
check to the bank and got the money on
it. During the forenoon the man hung
around the saloon drinking a good deal
d finally went to a restaurant in t.hn
net End, where he laid down in a back
room. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon
word cam A from the ttanlr to AT r Wilcr.
that the check waa a forgery, and Wil
son telephoned for an officer. Frank
Gable, a deputy, was sent bv Mr. Kellv
who found the man, but could not arouse
him, and Gable supposed by his ap
pearance he wus in that physical condi
tion known as. "dead drunk." He went
back to. the saloon and reported and was
told to keep an eye on the man. Half
an hour later Gable re-visited the room
and the man was gone! He could not
be found anvwhere.
The question is, what became of him?
ii ne simulated drunkenness he was
probably guilty. If he was really drunk
he must have been spirited away. The
place where he was found would then
naturally come under surveillance.
What of the place? It is the house
epok?n of in The Chronicle some .time
ago as being constructed for immoral
urposes. The citv council took decided
.ction lookinir to its sunDression for that
purpose, and lo, it blossomed out a res
taurant. It may be a legitimate restau
rant - for anything Thb Chronicle-
knows to the contrary, but it seems
strange that it would harbor a drunken
stranger, and half an hour after an offi
cer was there to arrest him, be was ab
sent. Verily, as a mavor of old once
said to his fellow townsmen when he
was seeking re-election : "There is
some things in this city of ourn wich
needs lookin' after."
