ness with which they answered all the

hall was tastefully decorated with vines
and rare flowers, and the blackbOards
were covered with beautiful drawings in
colored crayons Many of the boys de-
claimed very well. Those most noticeable

SEARCH FOR HIDDEN GOLD.
Citizens of Knobnoster Spurred On by
a Sensational Rumor.


Sedalia, Mo, July "A sensational ru-
NOR was put in circulation at Knobnoster,
where worbmen are digging for 81 100000
of gold that is believed to have been bur
led more than half century ago by Span
iards The work is being prosecuted un-
der the direction of William Covey, and
the rumOr was that he had located the
gold, but at once suspended operations
and set to work digging at another spot.
The gentlemen comprising the company
that is footing up the bills hurriedly
sought Mr.. COvey for confederation or
denial of the rumOr, He promptly gave
them the latter. The work is still being
pushed and the enthusiasm of the work
men has proved contagious, for nine out
Of every ten residents of the town now be-
lieve that it is only a question of short
time until the treasure is unearthed.
Mr. Convey and his wOrkmen put in their
time digging on the land of William Dun
lap, scarcely 100 yards from where the
skeletons were found years ago Dunlap
is not as enthusiastic as some, and has
consented to turn over the entire find in
consideration of his being given 10 per
cent of it. Other land owners are not so
liberal, however, and two of them have
demanded so per cent. without their being
put to penny's expense. while still others
are willing to accept 25 per cent. of the
total amount and surrender all claim to
the money. Passengers on every train
that passes through KnobnOster inquire
of the residents as to how the work is
progressing, and in the past four days the
diggings have been visited by hundreds of
strangers who have heard of the mySteri-
Gus burial of years ago.

The Luck of For Luck"
From the Cincinnati Commercial-Gaze

From the Cincinnati CommercialGa
Miss Laura Evans, living at No. ll5
West Ninth street, Newport, attended a
card party at the residence of Mrs. Rose
warren, on Tenth street, and while en-
gagged in a game Of euchre wrapped a
silk handkerchief around her wrist "just
for luck, as she putt. During the game
Miss Evans suddenly gave vent to pierre
ing crviand fell back in erchair in faint.
The shlieh started the entire company,
who hurried to her assistance, when a
large tanantula was discovered on the
handkerchief. Mrs. ROScwarren had
purchased a bunch of bananas from her
grocer, and it is thought the animal es-
capped from the fruit. Miss Evans is still
in a highly nervous condition from the
shock, and the handkerchief no doubt
saved her life, as the sting Of the Jarantu-

Mai @. VI. Ryals has received letter
from Gov. Northen appointing him, ia ac-
cordaucc with request from Samuel W.
Allcrton, chairman Of the American
worlds congress auxiliary committee
on a worlds Agricultural Congress. Geor-
gas representative 10 that congress.
which meets Oct. 10. 1898, at the world $
fair in Chicano.
These requests have been sent by
Chairman Allerton TO the governor of cv-
cry state in the union, asking them to of
ficially appoint a delegate, and Gov Nor
then has made wise and merited selec-
ton.
The duty of such delegate. among
other things, as signiied by chairman Al
lerton will be to prepare paper of TWEEN
w TO thirty minutes in length on the his
tory OF the agricultural industry in G5Or-
gia, with especial reference to farm cult
ure and the cereal industry. Georgia pre-
sents more varied end diversified class Of
agricultural interests, perhaps, than
any state in the union, and together with
all the questions such as climatOlOgY,
agricultural legislation, rotation Of crops,
statistical information etc, which have
to be taken into consideration, the duty
thus imposed win be quite an important
one, but Gov. NOrthen has chosen an
able man TO present Georgia case and
among agriculturalists, at least, Georgia
will cut some figaro at the worlds fair.
Mai. Ryals has not yet decided whether
he will accept or not He has the matter
under consideration, and will decide in
day or two. He has had great deal of
experience at such conventions, and in all
probability he will signify to the governor
his willingness to represent Georgia at
this one.

Little Joe Is Thriving and GrowinR-A
. Larger Incubator Ordered.

New York, July 2.-Tiny Joseph Gre
vert, the babelet in the incubator at 315
East Twenty-sixth street, is thriving and
growing in his downy resting-place. He
is growing so fast that it was found
necessary to order a larger incubator for
him. The new one has an automatic at
tachment to regulate the heat, so that
Joe will not be subjected to dangerous
changes of temperature.
The midget weighed but two and one
halt pounds and was 10 inches long when
he came into this cold world. Many
physicians have become interested in Joe,
his foster mother, and this new method
of saving a life that puff might have
snuffed out.

A the Worlds Fair.

John Henry had rented a couple of chairs
And Susan and be had sat dowr
To gaze at the lovely bewildering things
Which give the White City renown.
John Henry and Susan were deeply in love-
And what are White Cities to those
Whose pulsating hearts the low setting sun
Shines on as ii shone when 1t rose?
Perhaps for moment or less, it might be,
They gazed on the beautiful sight,;
Then gazed on each other with all of their eyes,
And forgot the great City of White.
To them they were visions more lovely than all
The ty contained in Its bounds,
And the sound of each voice was sweeter to them
Than all Of the White Citys sounds.
They billed and eooed in their innocent way,
Regardless of what might be said;
John Henry held on to her dear little hand,
And looked on the cheeks that were red.
Look not on the wine when it's red :" they say;
1t might quite as well be unsaid,
For the matter of that, temptation is meant
1t is nothing to cheeks that are red.
John Henry looked once and then once again,
And Susan looked smilipgly back;
"Geewhillikins MosesW John Henry exclaimed,
And Susan was kissed with smack
Let up on that, nowv came a voice of command,
And guard huttered down on the pair;
"You can't do that on the grounds. you know,
1t belongs to a concessionairew
John H. jumped up and reached for the guard
"By gravy" he yelled, as he slammed
The guard on the ground: ~. i not havei it, say
won't; iiIdoIll be d-dW
Sic semper tyrannis his foot on the neck
OF his foeman, John II. was sight
To behold, and people who hap ened that wa!
Applaueed with trembling delight.

Who can keep Susan's kisses from me.
paid my good money to come to this show,
And Susan came, too, for sight;
And If want to kiss her, and she wants me Ia
Who says that amt got the right"
Like the roar OF the ocean the rounds of applaus
Broke in upon John, then and there,
J AS he let up the guard, kissed Susan once more
And took in the rest of the Fair.
