ABOUT THAT HIDDEN GOLD.
Newt Bridgman Believes the Story but has
No Hope of Getting Money.

No Hope of Getting Money.
Newt Bridgeman has returned from
his trip to Indiana, and being question
ed about his search for hidden treas
urers in Arkansas he said:
Yes sir. l have been to Illinois. I
would have gone a week sooner than
l did, only my mother desired to visit
her old HON, and I waited a week for
her to get ready. I supposed ii is as
well, else your very sensational story
might have heen lost to the public
What do know of the story of the
hidden trea
mo much; and yet something In
the first place 1 have known Anderson
Griggs for sixteen or seventeen years,
and / know him to a quiet, unassum-
ing and reliable fellow.
For ten or twelve years or divers
times he has told me of the hidden
money. And l must say that / have
implicit confidence in his statements as
TO burying the money He has told ne
the story too often and under so many
different circumstances that l do not
for moment doubt but that he bur-
ried ii. But in his ability to find it
after thirty years I have no confidence.
Il have had some correspondence and
a personal interview with some rela-
tiveS of his master whose money he
claimed to have buried.
when 1 came from Arkansas this
spring (having gone there with Colo
mel Hallowell and Commissioner Webb
Griggs again importuned me to help
him get the money. / told him would
help him to get down there, but he
said his wife would not stand it, she
thinking that they kill niggers' down
there, and she was afraid they would
kill him. But I supposed he had fixed
1t w with his wife, as he came to me
one day and said he was going and ask
ed if 1 would give him some money to
keep his family in groceries.
Il said I'll give your wife an order
for groceries, which did.
That's all / know about 1t. AS to
Frank Burt buying eighty acres and
my being in the deal, that is all bosh.

The city council met last night in
regular session and a good deal Of i'm
portant work was done.
Two subjects of most importance that
were brought up were the tax levy for
the year and the decision of the council
TO enforce the telephone tax ordinance.
The tax levy for the ensuing year
was fixed at "a mills, thus making a re-
duction of one mill over that Of last
year.
The cdGncil decided to enforce the
license tax ordinance relating to tel
ephones beginning Monday
Those present at the meeting were:

Mr.. Maxwell ! reported that Judge

The amount necessary to redeem the

Mr.. Francis of the railroad committee
reported no hagman at Kellogg and
Fifth avenue in compliance with the
ordinances, that people there were kick

Oliver reported that the weeds were
growing over the sidewalk on South
Emporia so as to soil ladies' dresses.
Minnick said that the same thing was
fact in many places in the Fourth
ward. As there was no street force
and no money to pay one the several
councilmen were allowed the privilege
of attending to the complaints them
selves.
A letter was read and laid on the
table from Kenworthy's Employment

Balfour and the Caddies.

Many stories have been told about Mir. Balfour and the caddies. On one occasion, when about to engage ill a game, Mr. Balfour, recognizing ill an opponent s caddie former club bearer of his own, gave him nod of recogni- tion. Thereupon the caddic, with sat istied smirk, turned to his neighbor and remarked, "Ye see hoo we Conservatives ken ane anither.
 Mir. Balfour does not object to com ments from Il shrewd caddie, and he tells with great relish d story of one at Pau: An English player who knew no French, having made a fine shot, turned round to his French attendant for ap- plause. The latter described the shot in the only English words which he had heard habitually associated with any remarkably successful stroke ill the game. Looking full ill his employers $ face. and with his most winning and sympathetic smile, he uttered the words, t'Beastly f1uhc !''-Woman at Home

At the last annual meeting 36 states were repre- sented by delegates and the attendance was between 1 ,500 and 2,000.
 The congress will open Oct 10 and continue six days, during which all matters of interest to the farmer will be discussed. With so many bright minds considering agricultural problems it will

 Job Is Not Easy tO Fill.
 A more burdensome responsibility than that which rests upon the shoul ders of Commodore and Chief United States Naval Constructor Hichborn can not we'll be imagined. It is his business to build Uncle Sam's warships. Con- gress can appropriate the money and in general terms designate the type, dis placement, cost and desired speed of any given craft, but that is all. When these things are determined upon, the work of the bureau of construction be- gins
 From start to finish this work is of the most complicated nature. Human ingenuity has never planned, human hands have never built, a more complex structure than a modern warship. The amount of computation necessary in working out the details, after the will of congress has been declared with re- gard to given ship, is almost beyond belief.

Blackberry Cordial.

Blackberry cordial is famous old time preparation, It is put up in many families purely as a medicine, its eff cacy being generally acknowledged. Put about quarts of blackberries into a stone jar and set the jar in a pot of warm water over the fire. Let the Wa ter boil for half an hour. At the end of this time strain the berries, pressing out all the juice.
 Add half pound of sugar to every pint of juice and to every pounds of sugar use half an ounce each of pow dered cinnamon, powdered allspice and grated nutmeg Let the mixture boil for two hours Add half pint of pure French brandy to every quart of juice used ill the preparation, Bottle the mix ture and set it away for about three months to become mellowed. It will keep for years, and that which is used ono summer should be prepared the sum- mer before.

She Stood Up For Her Rights.

Mrs. Lee is n woman barber in Chi cago. She heard tho other day that the council was going to pass an ordinance prohibiting women from engaging in the occupation of barbering, so when the barbers held a mass meeting she presented herself in behalf of the hun drcd or more women who are to be found ill Chicago shops. She represent ed that women are forging to the front in the business. ''There is q reason for this, she said. Women barbers do not drink or carouse; consequently their nerves are always steady and their touch is light. They do not chew to- bacco nor smoke cigars, and always treat their customers with the utmost politeness. This plain talk created a great uproar, but Mrs. Lee smiled and sat down, satisfied that she had shown the meeting that women can hold their own anywhere. Chicago Correspond

 Miss Newman is certainly acting very foolishly in this matter, Mir Gro yer said to himself few hours later, ''but of course she knows her own busi- ness best.

be strange if many beneficial ideas are not exchanged. As the ''embattled farmers ill the days of 1776 stood be- tween liberty and a tyrant' armed min ions, so today the sturdy farmers stand between the world and want. If they should go on strike or even begin work ing on half time the world would soon learn how necessary they are to its very life.
 In speaking of the coming congress the Chicago Inter Ocean says that farm ing is now trade of national and in ternational relationship to all other trades. A panic in England, a strike in New York, failure of the sugar crop of Cuba or of the coffee crop of Brazil, lessens the demand for the wheat of Da 1 kota, for the cotton of Texas, for the meats of Montana and for the wool of Ohio; and a shortage i'll the wheat, cot i ton or corn crop of the United States, or a season of commercial depression i'll Europe or America, lessens the demand for Cuban sugar or for South American coffee. The interests of the modern farmer are worldwide.
 The president of the Farmers Nation al congress is B. F. Clayton of Iowa, one of the most prominent farmers in | the country.

Dutch Bonnet of Real Hair.

A girl sat near mo at the theater the other night who was the observed of ob- servers, and she knew it, says the Wo- man About Town in the Washington Post. Her gown was like any one of a half dozen pretty frocks in the house, but her hair was unique. You thought when you first looked at her that she was wearing bonnet, hut she wasn't. Her heavy brown hair was dragged to the crown of her head, and there twist ed and puffed and pinned into a very fair imitation of Dutch bonnet, com plete even to the big bow in the back. It was odd, it was striking, but it was decidedly the very latest fashion, and she knew it. What is more to the point, all the women who saw it knew it, and the wearer knew they knew it.
