Bonncttsvillo, July 9.-Your cor
respondent has just boon informed
that on yesterday while two white
men wero fishing in Crooked Creek,
sOmo twelve miles north of town,
whilo digging bait at tho root of
largo cypress troo tho hoo struck u
metallic substance, which proved to
bo an old-timo pot. Tho mon eager
ly began preparations for oxcavating
tho buried trcasurc, and when ro-
moved from it's long resting place
they found an eight quart pot with
lId scaled with moltod lead or pow
ter. When they opened it they were
much richer than whom they entered
tho swamp with polos and lines.
The statement is mudc that largo
quantity of gold coin, several gold
watches and many other valn-
ablo articles wore found. Thero is
no doubt but these articles were
placed thcre by Shorman's plunder-
"rs, for his army was three days pass
ing through that neighborhood, and
General Sherman spent ono night
near this vory place. Several times
since tho war strange men have boon
seen prowling up and down the
creek, and lights have been seen in
the swamp at night, and many exca-
yations have been discovered in that
locality, and no doubt tho mon who
placed this gold by that old cypress
treo camo back looking for it, but
were unable to locate it. AS soon as
tho particulars connected with tho
valuable find arc obtainablo the News
and Couricr's readers will be fully
informed.

FORT UNATE CAPTURE.
a Letter Probably Saved the American
Army nt Manila.

San Francisco, July 14.-The off
GERS of tho 2d Oregon regiment,
while very guarded in their state
ments, admit that the condition of
the American troops at Manila at
tho outbreak Of hostilities between
the United States and the T'ilipinos,
was very critical.
The capture of letter sent from
inside our lines at Manila to an
emisary Of Aguinaldo, is probably
all that saved our army from ter
rlole disaster and possible annihila-
ton.
The letter was taken to General
Otis, who found in it plan or plot
to open the gates of Manila, sack
tho city, murder the guards and allow
the insurgent army to pour into the
American camp2 and surprise the
men.
The United States troops were
under arms all night to meet the
expected attempt but the enemy had
learned of The capture of the letter
and only part of the plot was carried
out, which was tho burning Of por-
ton of the city of Manila"

"Half Of the crops raised in Kan

largest agriculturists in Southern
Kansas, in n recent conversation.
"This may seem a rather startling
statement to comprehend at first, but

tho war in tho Philippines, nearly
100 moro women have begun work

of the Twontioth Kansas volunteers
was a farmer, and they left wives,
sisters and swoethoarts behind them
These women resolved at once to do
tho proper thing, and they are rur

COLONEL JouAusr.

that time he requested her to take o
less conspicuous seat. His questions to.
Dreyfus have been very searching and
merciless. But IL absolute truth is all
the troubled captain requires Colonel
Jouaust seems likely to afford 1t.
He Is not. as has been stated by
some writer's. the colonel Of Dreyfus'
old regiment. Perhaps this mistake
arises from the fact that when the ac-
cused captain has addressed the court
he has always begun his speech with
the words mon colonel" But this IS
merely the military form of address
required by the conventions. Colonel
Jouaust is really a director in the en-
gineer corps. The six associate judges,
numbering a lieutenant colonel, three
majors and two captains, are all ar
tillery officers Of the same branch Of
the service as Dreyfus.

They May Write the Truth, For T1helr
Work IL Secret
There are court historians In China,
q there are In other countries. but
there is one striking difference. and 1t
Chinese court historians does not see
the light until the reigning dynasty
comes to an end.
In this way these Celestial historians
have an opportunity to describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices Of the
valorous rulers and the real signifi-
n of the events which take place
during their regime. They can write
what they please without fear Of CEN
sure. for they know that their work
will o be published as long as the
reigning dynasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years. the first court historian
having been appointed by the impe-
rial house OF Han. which reigned from
2O6 B. G. until % A. d.
The duty Of these historians Is to
write plain accounts Of all the events
tina occur during their tenure Of Of
fee. At regular intervals their COM
pleted work is taken from them and is
locked up in an iron safe or vault.
There it remains until the first member
Of a new dynasty ascends the throne.
It is then given with all the other
histories In the vault to the court
historian. who is then living. and from
the mass Of documents he is expected
to prepare a truthful history Of the
dynasty which has just expired. The
present dynasty has been reigning
since 1910 and consequently no court
history has been published since that
date.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

fierce, white mustachios make him an

affects a stern, almost q fierce, manner
toward the witnesses, all except that
precious lot Of generals. They are
his superiors in rank, and he has con-
stantly treated them with much OBJ

in white" who held a prominent posi-

The catfish belongs to an ancient
type not yet fully made into a fish, and
hence those whose paired fins are all

are not, hold him in we'll merited
scorn. lie has no scales and no bright
colors. Ills fins are small and his head
and mouth are large. Around his
mouth r eight long "smellers,'
fieshy feelers. that he pushes out as
he crawls along the bottom in search
Of anything that he may eat. AS he
may eat anything. he always finds it.
His appetite is as impartial as that Of
goat. Anything, from a dead lam
prey or a bunch of sunfish g 8 to a
piece of tomato car. is grateful to
him.
In each OF the fms. which represent
his arms. Is q long, sharp bone, with
a Shiny surface and a serrated edge.
These are fastened by a ball and sock
ct joint, and whenever the fish is
alarmed the bone is whirled over and
set in place; then 1t sticks out stittiy
on each side. There is another such
bone in the fin on the back, and when
all Of these are set there is no hsn
that can swallow him.
When he takes the hook, which he
surely will do If there is any hook to
be taken. he will swallow it greedily.
AS he is drawn out Of the water he
sets his three spines and laughs to
himself as the boy pricks his fingers
trying to get the hook from his stom-
ach. This the boy is sure to do. and.
because the boy of the Mississippi
valley is always fishing for catfish is
the reason why his fingers are always
sore. The catfish is careless Of the
presenl and sure Of the future. After
he is strung on a birch branch and
dried in the sun and sprinkled with
