Old UNCLE FRANK JUNIPER, a colOred
man who lives three miles from Midway,
KY, plowed up a copper box the other
day which contained a number Of silver
dollars, halves and quarters. The box
contained about $40 IN American and
Spanish coins, the one of most recent
date bearing the stamp of 1907, showing
the money must have been buried about
that year or the year following. The
most peculiar part of the circumstance
is that in the early part of the present
century, within a year or two of that
date, a remote ancestor Of the finder
was hanged for numbering a peddler.
He made no confession and no trace OF
the plumber for which the crime was
committed was ever found.

SPANISH FEVER SCARE.
Two Hundred Head OF Colorado Cattle,
Purchased by Hon. n. A. Adams, Dying
Like Sheep.

Two Hundred Head OF Colorado Cattle,
Purchased by Hon. N. A. Adams, Dying
Like Sheep
Topeka Commonwealth.
Manhattan was thrown into state of
the widest excitement Yesterday over
the fact that bunch of Colorado cattle
shipped there by Maj. n. A. Adams, are
dying off so rapidly that it is concluded
they have the Spanish fever, consequent
ly the people are greatly frightened
Mai. Adams had been wanting to buy
some stock cattle to put on his rancho
near Manhattan, and talked about going
to Colorado after them, expressing a pref
erence to have Colorado cattle. Last
week he learned that there were 200
head in the stock yards at Kansas City
that would suit him, and at once bought
them. They were fne-looking animals.
Friday and Saturday he began shipping
from Kansas City to Manhattan, expect
ing that he would drive them out to his
ranch, which is located on the Little
Blue, some distance from town yesterday.
Butt it seems that the last car load got de-
layed at this city Sunday. When they
arrived here four head were dead in the
car, two more almost dead, so, supposing
that they were probably overheated and
badly crowded, the whole lot was IN
loaded and driven over to Wolff & Nc
Intosh's Stock Yard. The two soon af-
forwards died there. The others that
had gone on were in the shipping yards
at Manhattan.
Sunday night and yesterday morning
they began to die, and at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon a gentleman who came down
from there says he says he saw the
twenty-fifth tall and expire. In the
meantime such an alarm had spread that
the sheriff took possession Of the cattle
and Quarantined them, and those &C
qu4inIed with the disease said that the
animals are afflicted with Spanish or
Texas fever.
The sheriff had long trench dug In
the ground into which the dead carcasses
were to be thrown and burned and their
ashes covered up. Governor Click re-
ceived several telegrams from there to-
daV. and he ordered DR.. HolcOmb, the
State Veterinarian, to report at Manhat-
tan Immediately and make an lnVestige-
ton ofthe trouble.
There is but little doubt that the dis
ease Is Spanish or Texas fever, and that
these cattle became inOcculated with it
while IN the stock yards at Kansas City,
because they came there clean, nice,
healthy brutes, and we're IN good cOndi-
ton. When an animal gets sick with
the disease, it mopes around with hair
turned forward, head down. eyes sleepy,
until finally it falls over and expires.
There Is net much danger of the disease
spreading so long as the afflicted herd
can be kept isolated where other and
healthy cattle cannot come IN contact
with them. Had the one carload not
been delayed here, so that Major Adams
could have started to drive out to his.
ranch on time, as intended, Riley county
would be In a bad fix now.

TIE best terrapin found IN the world
the only kind the real epicurean will
have-are caught right at the mouth of
the Potomac, and nowhere else. These
bring the highest market price in the
market, and the taste of one delights the
good eater. They are very scarce and
hard to get, though. They are caught
one at a time, and the oyster boats bring
to market sometimes two dozen, some
times only a dozen or a half dozen, or
. even only one single terrapin. They are
wilder and harder to get in the Summer.
They are caught then only by fishermen
while SEEMING for fish. Every time they
get one it is a prize, and they put him in
pound until they get more. In the Fall
they are fat and easier to catch. In Sep
TENDER they stop feeding and sink into
the mud. The fishers then rake for
them with tongs, digging deep into the
bottom Of the river and along the shore
for them. At this time they are fat, and
stay so all Winter if they are not dis
turbed. But ifthey get frightened out
Of their beds and crawl about much, they
scratch their bellies, which worries them
and makes them thin.

FARMERS living near Knowlesville, w
Va, are much excited over the reappear-
ance ofthe enormous reptile which for
thirty years past has been occasionally
seen in that neighborhood. A party Of
young men saw it a day or two ago on
the farm of David Baker. They describe
it as being eighteen or twenty feet long
and as thick as mans body, carrying
its head about two feet above ground
while travelling. It was first seen in 1856
then being about ten feetlong, and many
stories regarding it have been revived
Men who saw IL in 1874 declare it left q
track through the tall grass like that
caused by dragging a heavy log. A par
ty is on guard day and night at what is
thought to be its hiding place.
