Yesterday of singular statement made
BY an unknown man at La Belle store,
on Tuesday night, which offersa pros

A man, says our informant, hailing
from Indiana, called at the La Belle
store and requested some one to 60 with
him to La Belle Mill, where he said was
hid lot of jewelry. and among it two
gold watches. The jewelry, he said
had been stolen in another city, was
brought here during the strike, last
summer, when there was no one working
in the mill, and hid there. The man
who stole it, he said, is now in the Ohio
penitentiary, and he had received from
this convict a full and clear description
of the place where the jewelry was hid
The description was so perfect that he
knew the srot as soon as he cast his
eyes on it on going through the mill on
Tuesday afternoon. He did not want
to 90 for the buried treasure by himself
for fear that he would be arrested as an
accomplice in the robbery, but if a reli
able and well-known man would &C
with him, he would be willing to divide
the treasure.
His story failed to call out any vol
unteers to accompany him, and he wen
off up town highly disguised at thu
lack Of enterprise exhibited by the l.:
Boilers. That the fellow was endeavor
ing to hoax some one we verify believe
There is too much Captain Kidd
about it for anything but the vaporing'
Of half lunatic, yet the proposition
our informant says, created quite bu'
in La Belle for awhile.

IT Is generally thought that good
photographs cannot be taken on rainy
days This is very great error.
Smoke is a far greater enemy TO the
photographer than rain. The latter frees
the atmosphere of smoke, thereby often
enabling the operator to make your
picture with a much shorter sitting
than isrequired on a smoky day, that
otherwise appears fine. The Partridge
Photograph Gallery on Main street, has
the largest light in the country. Thus
armed, they cannot be beaten any

The reason why the work does moi
progress with more rapidity is, perhaps
because the work is ended as far as or
