The stone is thought to have marked the
place where this seeker after gold was
buried. 1t was estimated that 81. 200 peo-

is not strange If mementos occasionally

This company 1 had the benefit of

here is most alarming. There are now

St. Joseph and travelled three days and

where we pitched our tents and So

This was our first introduction to camp

crossing the Nodoway river and stopped
again for three days, recruiting our

HOPEFUL VIEW OF THE FREEZE.
An Orange Grower Who Thinks the Sit

Welaka, Fla, Jan. 1.-The reliable ac.

other paper sent south has more complete
news or has the interests of Florida

is a disaster of the worst kind, but there
are other things to look at in compar-
ing the freeze of 1886 and 1894 That of
1886 was not quite 50 cold and no favorable
weather followed. The sun came out
brightly, ana warm weather followed
thus splitting bark on some trunks and
many large and small branches, thus de-
stroying many trees. These same groves
recovered very quickly and have borne
good crops. They are also eight years
older, and have gone through several
severe snaps since. They are, therefore.
much tougher, and viii stand much more
cold. The freeze of this year, though
longer and several degrees colder, was
followed by cool weather all next day.
and at midnight a cold rain set in and
continued up to noon Monday. 1t has
been cool ever since. thus giving trees
