his pay, which was not forthcoming as it
should. and when Couch ATTEMPTED to

NORTHWEST FLOUR OUTPUT.

| MINNEAPoLIS, Mimi, May l. - The
| Northwestern Miller today says: There
was a slight gain IN the flour output last
week. Fifteen mills were operated, but
only eight ran full time, the rest getting
in two to four days The aggregate out
put was 102,930 barrels. averaging IL, 155
barrels daily, against 100, $50 barrels the
week before and ISL, 800 barrels for the cor
responding week in 1885, The present
week will be short one for milling
operations. The centennial holiday
yesterday was generally observed
on the platforms, only one
mill running during the day. Then the
mills in operation are less in number than
week ago Three dropped out of the ac-
tual list Saturday night doing away with
nearly 1000 more daily. Another making
800 barrels is likely to stop within n day
or two. From present indications the
week S production will not exceed $4,000
barrels. The water power is all that could
be desired, more or less running TO waste
over the flush boards. The Lake Superior
lines could no withstand the heavy diver
sion of flour going on through the use of
transit since they entered into the deal to
advance rates recently, and today reduced
rates 2l5 per 100 to the old basis. The
Burlington & Northern have followed
closely with similar action, and all the

no very encouraging features, being char
acterized as quiet, but firm. Some firms
report shade better feeling, but buyers
seem to generally lack confidence and
show little disposition to take hold. Quite
liberal bakers orders have been accepted
from abroad, but the prices are claimed to
have been not the highest Considerable
flour continues to be exported on consign-
ment, and to this may be attributed in a
measure the large figures of last week.

Ever since the recent heavy rains
worked deepgullies in the old roads
in the vicinity Of Lordships farm in
this township and a number OF gold
coins of ancient date were found.
there has been great excitement over
Capt. kidd's buried treasures.
Searching parties have been organ
lied and all the old stories relative
to the hiding place OF the wealth of
the bold buccaneer have been re-
yived and have become thechieftonic
of conversation. The story that the
old johnson vault in the Episcopal

made the receptacle ofyast treasures

expeditions seemed to he the most

left it and went into the yard. They
returned in abouta an hour and drove
away. No Importance was attached
to this incident, but when the same
thing was repeated tho following
night, and it became known, lhe
town was all excitement. Rumors of
body snatching, and of the discovery
OF the treasure and its removal by
night were flying thick and fast. The
cemetery was carefully searched, the
old vault being the thing of particu-
lar interest, Nothing was discovered
to verify the suspicious, and it was
determined to form a vigilance COM
mittee and lie in wait to solve the
mystery.
The next night found twenty-five
men waiting Tor the mysterious cab
and its occupants to appear. At
about the same hour up it drove.
and two men entered the cemetery
and were lost to view among the
trees.
Not a man among the twenty-five
lying concealed in the bushes dared
to move, and in short time the two
men, possible laden down with gold
and Jewels, emerged from the Gene
terry, and entered the cab. The
driver. who all this time had sat up
on the box as motionless as the
marble post Mt the entrance of the
cemetery, whipped up his horse, and
disappeared in the darkness.
The next night fresh recruits were
added to the party, but the cab and
its mysterious occupants did not put
in an appearance.
