BURIED TREASURE DISCOVERED.
4 Box of Old Coins Found by Cutting
Down a Tree.
From the Now York Word.

rom the new OTk w Orl0.
Etna, n. j., Feb. 22.-Franklin Pearce.
a resident of this place, was cutting down
some old apple trees on the farm of the
late Jacob Van Wagner, between New
Milford and Oradell, to-day, when one of
the trees fell and some of the roots turned
up out of the ground. Pearce tried to cut
off some of them with his ak, and struck
something hard that sounded like iron He
found that his AK had been spoiled, and
began an investigation, which, to his sur
prise, resulted in bringing to light small
iron box
Pearce carried it home thinking he had
found treasure which had been buried
for many years. On opening the box he
found it full of odd-looking old coins, and
on examination discovered that some of
them dated back as far as 1776, but he
could not distinguish what they all were
on account of the rust which had been ac-
cumulating for many years. A few of the
coins were the old-fashioned Washington
half-pennies. Pearce called in j. ]. Blau-
welt of Westwood, who looked the lot over
and bought the pennies for So
1t is supposed that the box was hidden
under the old tree during the revolutionary
war, when Washington passed through
there and went into encampment a short
distance away.

He Killed Phil Goodwin After the
Latter Had Discharged Him.

Macon, Ga. Feb &C. f. Davis was
placed on trial in the superior court to-
day for killing Phil Goodwin about four
months ago. The court house was crowd
ed when the case was called and the trial
is attracting considerable attention on ac-
count OF the prominence of young Davis

tendent of the Georgia Mills and EIeva-
tor Company, and Goodwin was an en-
ploye. Davis discharged him. Goodwin
threatened to get even, and on the night
of the killing, followed Davis from The
MILL overtaking him in the dark. The
shooting followed. Davis gave himself I'M.

Brunswick. Ga, Feb. 26.-The public an
nouncement of Hon. w. G. Brantley's con-
clusion not to enter the congressional race
against Congressman Turner while dis
appointing to many of his frineds, is
generally accepted as a wise conclusion
and the patriotic sentiments in his decina,
tion, together with his high words Of
praise for Mr. Turner, are favorably con-
sidered. There is a strong sentiment in
this district favorable to Mr.. Brantley
and his action in working for party har-
for the future. He is certain to receive
distinguished recognition later. The sup
port of the local press, politicians and
voters will now go solidly TO Mr. Turner
and his nomination and election is as
sured. At no time was Mr.. Turner's cleo

Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 26.-The resi-
dence of Mrs. +. L. Marshall on Tally
rand avenue, Fairfield, together with her
barn, stables and fourteen head Of cattle,
were burned to-day at Y o'clock by fire
which originated in the barn, where the
cattle were stalled. The fire started in
the left of the barn. and the whole in
terror was ablaze when discovered, and
before the cattle which had
been stalled preparatory to milk
ing this afternoon, could be saved
the building was enveloped in flames and
their rescue was impossible. As soon as
the fire was discovered a telephone alarm
was sent to the central fire station, and
Chief Haney and the wagon went out to
the scene. but as the fire was far beyond
the fire limits. and the nearest plug, their
assistance was of no avail as far as water
was concerned, though they laid out 100
feet of hose from Caldwell's artesian well,
but the water pressure was not sufficient
to fight the flames.
The cattle were blooded. and the total
loss aggregates about $4,000. There was
no insurance.

GIddness Comes

\NTith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, thatyou have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utabie druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laXa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sl1illful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informedeve everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
