The Vanished Gold.


from The New York Star.
A great money mystery that can
not be solved has developed out at
Kokomo, Ind. Stories of fiction
narrating the descent from luxury,
love and beauty to life of misery
Indebtedness and strange worship of
riches are outdone by the reality,
all on account OF frail, wealthy
woman-an ex-baroness-who died a
little over two months ago with piles
OF gold around her. At her death
the gold vanished: $1,000, or per-
haps 10000 bright shining dollars
have taken wings, been hidden away
or scattered, and what became of the
dust" is now only coniectured. Just
prior to her death it was in her house
in boxes by her side. 1t was neither
loaned, paid out for expenses, nor
put in bank vaults. Toward the lat
ter institutions the owner exercised
a peculiar prejudice.
The maiden name of this woman
was Christina Haiermel, and she was
the relict of Walter Hooper. On
Oct. 4, last the widow died of lockiaw
in horribleagony. Herqueer little fig
ure had become familiar to Kokomo
people for the past quarter ola CEN
fury, as she trudged up and down the
streets carrying peculiar old-fash-
Toned basket, which would often be
filed with nothing more valuable
than pieces of old paper, sticks, etc.,
for she acted as a sort of street scav-
enger. Though her brick dwelling
was quite large, yet she occupied but
one room, and the rest were given up
to cobwebs or filed with an indescrib-
able collection of worthless rattle
traps. Here she lived alone, and sell
dom ventured out except on bust
ness. She had two large tin boxes
and in these she kept her gold.
Shortly after the widows death the
house was searched and ransacked
from top to bottom, and two boxes
were found, one of which was empty,
and the contents OF the other value
less.
Christian Hooper was born in the
kingdom of Saxony sixty-fve years
ago, daughter oithe bourgeois, but
by her beauty and attractions found
n sutton in Baron Jacob Schlinging,
and they were wed. The Schlinging
Castle still stands on the Elbe. This
titled lady lived in the castle and rode
in coach emblazoned with heraldic
arms. The baron fell i'll and started
to America, but died at sen, and,
there being no heir, the property re-
verified to next of kin. So Christina
reached the new world little richer
than an ordinary immigrant, but her
course in life at once changed, and
when she married Walter Hooper, in
in 1860 she was a confirmed niser.
The rest of her life she cheated herself
out of comforts and necessaries to
hoard riches that have so vanished.

A SHOCKING STORY from siberI !


Reports reached Paris concerning
lamentable occurrence at Yakutsk
in eastern Siberia. Some thirty exile,
under administrative order-that is
to say, who had not been condemned
by any law court or tribunal-wert
to proceed to some more distant sta
tions. The temporary governor
Ostashine, had issued new rules,
which, If carried out, would for a
journey through the polar wastes oil
Siberia result in the death of a great
many of the travellers. A Joint petit
ton was therefore drawn up by all
the exiles requesting the restoration
of the old regime. The exiles were
told not TO present themselves in a
body at the government offices, but
to wait Tor the reply in n private
house. Here, however, n subordi-
nate officer ofpolice came and or
dered them to 60 in a body to
the government house. The ex-
lies hesitated in the face of
these contradictory orders, and
the police and soldiers, suddenly los
ing patience, attacked and fired up
on them. The soldiers were rendered
all the more brutal by the fact that
some Of the exiles had pistols and
made some slight show of defense.
One policeman was killed, according
to his own dying statement, acct
dentally by the soldiers, and govern
or, 0stashine, who came up during
the disturbance. and an officer were
wounded. OF the exiles six were killed
outright, including one young wom-
an, Mile. Gourevitch, and nine wound
cd, Mile. Zoroastroff among them.
Under the preteXt that the drawing
up OF thirty petitions against an Of
fetal decree constituted an act of in
surrection court marshal was held.
All the exiles were condemned to long
terms of penal servitude and three
sentenced to death. They were sub.
sequently hanged. One among them,
named Bernstein, who had been
struck by four bullets, had to be car
ried under the gallows in his bed.
When the rope was put around his
neck the bed was removed and he was
LEFT hanging.-Paris Letter in Lon
don Times.

Bewltched Milk,

F. s. Bean, n former Oxford dean,
now residing in Cadott, Wis, com.
municates n strange tale of an old
Oxford county superstition to the
Norway Advertiser. He says that
when he was lad the people OF his
neighbo orhood used to believe that
an old woman living there was a
witch. She became provoked with a
neighbor because the latter refused
TO sell her COW, and thereafter no
butter could be made from that
cows milk. No matter how long
they churned, the butter would not
come. As the story goes, girl in
the family had heard that witch
could be burned and dispossessed by
dropping a red hot horseshoe in thu
churn with the cream. She tried the
experiment, whereupon she declared
that scream issued from the churn
The butter soon came, and scar il
the shape OF horseshoe was after
wards seen on the old woman's per
son by some imaginative observer
when | was hoy, | believed tn,
story, but my faith is somewhat
shaken now, says Mr. Bean.

and carried on, with the
prestige and the resources of
the now most powerful nation
upon earth. The Philadelphia
enterprise was in its inception
almost wholly oflocal interest.
During the first ninety-eight
days, the number of admis-
sions was 3.769, 526; during the
remaining sixty-one days, the
number was 6, l40,649. A large
portion of our people did not
find ont until the exhibition
was we'll nigh its close, that
they greatly cared to go. An
even larger portion did not find
this out at all until it was too
late. But to-day the minds of
our people are prepared to take
all that may be offered and the
celebration of 1892 will begin
where that of 1876 left off; or
rather it will begin with a
prestige and a force derived,
not merely from the ultimate
success of the Philadelphia ex-
hibition, but from the fame
which that success hasacquired
through the revolving years.

The Fairs of 1876 and of 1892.

The following extracts from
Gen. Francis A. Walkers
article in the February Forum,
are very appropriate consider
ing the vote on the world fair
site in the house Of representa-
tives: "The opportunity
which is offered by the occur
ence ofthe fourth centenary of
the discovery of America, is
one which the nation ought to
seize for giving a strong for
ward impulse to the sentiment
of American nationality. Men
have said, and not toolishly,
that the war Of secession could
never have occurred at all, had
it been postponed until after
1876. 1t is certain that the
centennial exhibition was a
mighty force making, not for
Capitalization, but for national
unity. The acquaintance
which was formed at Phila-
delphia, in that year, between
widely-sundered sections and
has had a prodigions influence
upon the subsequent life of the
country. Yet the celebration
of 1875 was but a trivial thing,
in this respect, to what the
celebration of 1892 may be
made, if properly inauguratcd

THE

DAILY AND WEEKLY
is THE
Leading Journal of Washington

1t is typical Of a live city.
1t represents the entire State.
Its news seryire is the wonder of
Washington and Idaho Journalism.
1t has more special news features than
any other paper north of Oregon.
Its views on all public questions are
timely, forcible. just and fearless.
1t has no political axes to grind.
1t has no political fences to preserve.
Ita editorial ut.erances are invariably
written bv its own editors.
Eastern and home people often ex-
press surprise that so able a journal
should he published in 40 new a State.
The ex PLANTATION lies in the fact that lis
proprietors ex pend every dollar receiv-
ed from their patrons in the improve
ment of the paper. They are not run

are buying news and giving it to Their

The announcement that
Bismark is to retire does not
create the CONSERVATION that
it would have created in former
years. The empire that can
not fill the place of a single
man in the event of his death
or retirement does not belong
to this wide-awake, aggressive
and progressive era. Certainly
no one imagines that the well
fare of Germany hinges on the
service of one man, though the
folly of one, providing he is
emperor, might interrupt its
prosperity for a time.

Into the 1hOmsdnds.-
Developments.
Mr.. Fl. B. Ferguson, of Pa
taha, secretary of the Idaho
Consolidated Mining Company,
who has been in Elk City the
past two weeks inspecting the
work done during the winter
on the properties of the com
pany, reached Grangevillc on
his return trip Monday. He
is very much pleased at the
prospect and rightly considers
that the company has one Of
the richest things in the west.
A tunnel has been run in on
the Redstone a distance of lis
feet, all the way through pay
ore. The ledge is three feet
wide. A sample of the ore
taken from the face of the
ledge which Mr.. Ferguson had
assayed by Mr.. Stewart, went
$6,037.54, of which $3.50 was
silver. The boys who have
been working in the tunnel
were inexperienced in orc and
reported to the company that
the ledge was barren, which
was the occasion of Mr.. Fcrgu-
sons trip. Mr.. Ferguson
brought out with him a small
lot of the ore. On the Gen.
Harrison, another lode be-
longing to the same company,
o tunnel which is intended to
intersect the ledge at right an
giles, has been run a distance
of 1876 feet and all indications
point to striking the ledge
within a few feet more. The
Mother Lode, with a sixty foot
ledge, Mr.. Ferguson believes
will be the most valuable OIL
company's properties, on &C
count of the immense body Of
ore.
From Elk to the Salmon, q
distance of about sixty miles
is one vast mineral field, the
lodges Of amazing size and sur.
prising richness. An assay
recently made by Mr.. Stewarr
for a man by the name of An,
derson, Of the top cropping
of a ledge about sixty miles
from Elk, runs away up in tn,
thousands.
The placer claims which
will be worked extensively
this summer, give excellent
promise, the Buffalo Hill ant

Hundreds of men will hocl
