There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable For great
many years doctors pronounced it a local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be constitu-
tionnl disease, and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

AFTER A HIDDEN TREASURE.
A Mysterious Visit of spaniards to St
Augustine.

A Mysterious Visit of Spaniards to St
Augustine.
st. Augustine, Fla, Nov. S.-A large
foreign-rigged sloop was sighted off the
coast about sunset last Sunday night
and twice since that. She has come
into the harbor and a portion Of her
crew came ashore but only for a few
minutes. They were Spaniards, ap-
parently, but they spoke to nobody.
Last night ten of them came ashore
with picks, shovels, crow-bars, ETC.,
and dug up large iron chest, suppos-
ed to be filed with treasures, on tho
old Christoval property, bounded by
the hospital, Charlotte, Bravo and
Bridge streets. Mrs. Reddick, who
lives on the premises, not knowing
what the men were doing, appeared
with a shot gun and drove them off,
but not until they had loaded the box,
which required several men to carry
it into a vehicle. No trace of the men,
who were under a gray-bearded leader,
can be found, nothing but some old
pottery, an iron hook and one silver
coin was left by them.
The sloop left at daylight for the south
without communicating with anyone.
1t is supposed to have carried the party
to Santo Domingo as the heirs Of the
original owner of the property, Davine,
live there. A magnolia tree planted
by the mother of Mrs. General Blake
seventy years ago was taken for the
bearings to the location of the buried
treasure, which the party seemingly
understood. All their measurements
before they began digging were taken
from this tree.

One Man.


CoffeyvIlle, Kan, Nov. 9.-Two of
the Cook gang plundered the town Of
Lenapah, l. T., and left bloody trail
behind them this afternoon. They en-
tered the town in the character Of
bold bandits, without any attempt at
concealment, and terrorized the citi-
zens until they had carried out their
plan Of robbery. e. E. Melton, brave
young man who attempted to stop them
with his gun when they were riding
away was shot and instantly killed.
Another man, whose name cannot be
learned tonight. is reported to have
been seriously wounded. Both Of tho
victims were with small force OF
citizens who hastily armed themselves
and attempted to prevent the escape
of the badits.
The robbers were mounted on fast
horses and were heavily armed. Some
of the citizens claim to have recog-
nized them as Cherokee Bill and Jim
French, well known as lieutenants Of
Bill Cook, the leader of the gang. The
robbers held up the proprietors to two
stores and looted both places. They
also robbed the postoffice. John Shu-
feldt, the proprietor Of one store, lost

of sunshine was in excess of a seasonable
amount. The rainfall, which was princi-

in many counties of this division, al
though broken to some extent in a few
localities.
While there are many sections where
the drought still continues where the out
look Is unfavorable, the rains of this and
the preceding week have greatly bene-
fitted corn, and the outlook at the present
time is more encouraging. On the bot
toms this crop is holding its own and will
yield well generally. Chinch bugs are
doing damage in many localities Hail
and high wind which prevailed during
the week, injured the crop in some sec
tions. Thrashing of oats and wheat is
still progressing. a decided improvement
is reported in the condition of pastures
where rain fell, but where the drought
still continues they are brown and bare.
The fruit crop will be light. Gardens
have also been revived and are improving
slowly. Potatoes will yield less than was
anticipated. Where the ground is in good

ress. More rain is needed, especially in

HOLD-UP NEATLY oIRCUMvENTED

All That Is Necessary and the Plot is i'm
Vain-Several Shots Fired at the Train
as 1t Passes.
CLEVELAND. Aug. S.-Lake Shore ex-
press train No. 12. arriving from the west.
pulled into the Union station after having
enjoyed a most thrilling experience ON the
plains OF Indiana. An attempt was made
to hold up the train at kessler, Ind, upon
the identical spot that the train was held
up last fall The train was just approach
ing split switch at kessler when the en-
gineer noticed that the switch was turned
SO as to run the train on the siding. A
big obstruction of ties and lumber was
piled upon the sidin- few rods ahead of
his engine. The Oh ,truction did not ap-
pear to be impossible and the engineer
put on all the steam and dashed through
the pile, passing sa fely on to the main
track thro ugh the split switch at high
rate Of speed.
Fired Several Shots.
AS the train passed the obstruction the
engineer noticed a group of masked men
and as the engine cleared the track of all
obstructiOns the would-be ighwaymen
fired several shots into the train, none of
which, however, took effect. The United
States express car was attached to the
train and had on board a large amount Of
money. 1t is thought that this was
known to the desperad0es who attempted
to hold up the train. Their disappoint-
ment in carrying out their plans of stop
ping the train by piling distractions
upon the track was evinced in their firing
of shots when they saw that their plans
had been frustrated by the boldness of
the engineer in dashing through the heap
OF ties upon the track.
The Robbery of a Year AGO.
It. was almost year ago that at Kess-
ler's siding seven men held up the same
fast express on the Lake Shore road In
this case the men threw the switch at
kesslers, and when the train came to q
stop two gangs boarded it. One gang en-
tered the express car, blew open the safe
with dynamite, AID secured piunder esri-
mated in the neighborhood OF Sl5O,00o in
money, jewelry, and negotiable paper.
The other gang compelled the engineer
to pull out slowly toward keudallville,
wht re their horses were tethered near the
edge of the woods. Arriving at this place,
they jumped of the train with parting
injunction to the crew not to follow. They
mounted their horses and escaped in the
darkness, leaving no clew.
