with the sole object of arresting the

twenty-five leading concerns. with mills
having capacity Of over six hundred
million feet of lumber per year.
The estimate of twenty millions CAPT

HIDDEN GOLD IN AN ATTIc.-Hid-
den wealth amounting to $500 has
has been brought to light from under
the attic floor boards OF little house
occupied for many years by Holland
and Elijah Buckwalter, aged bachelors,
in Wallace township, Chester county,
Pa. The whole neighborhood is excited
over the find. Until the death of Hol
land, recently, the brothers lived there
with William Moser, a tenant, to keep
them company. Among the personal
effects of the dead man was found
paper giving directions for the removal
of certain boards in the attic. under
which money lay stored. The
instructions were followed, and
the treasure, most of it in
gold coins, was lifted out. Not
even the dead mans brother knew Of
the existence of the boarded cash, and
to him it is a lucky windfall. The
tenant, Moser, had lived in the room
directly below, in blissful ignorance OF
its presence.

Home from California.

shullsburg Pick and Cad.
Mrs. II. d, Seely, of Elk Grove,
reached home from California on the
sd of May, very much improved in
health and very much pleased with the
trip, and as she went ON the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and
returned on the Southern Pacific there
was constant change OF scenery
which was grand beyond description.
When Mrs. Seely reached California
the first of March, the vegetables of
all kinds were plenty and very fine
and later the fruit was most elegant,
among which were oranges and cher
ries the most delicious she ever ate.
Her description Of her journey to and
from California is very interesting, as
she was a very close observer and she
visited great many places of interest
and notoriety, among which were the
United States Mint where she saw the
gold bullion go through the processes
until it was converted into coin, the
Cliff House, the Sutro Bath House
and museum which is the finest IN the
world. Mrs. Seely brought with her
some beautiful and valuable speci-
mems in gold, silver and copper in the
original state and many useful and
interesting specimens of Japanese and
Chinese handiwork. Now the large,
lonesome looking man that the Pick
and Cad spoke of shortly after Mrs,
Seely departed for California is the
happiest man in Southwestern Wis
consin.

Positive Goodness,

Manitowoc Pilot.
There is the exquisite flavor of gen
iality and good will in the motto
adopted by Peck's SUM-" A sun that
casts no shadows 1t IS beautiful
sentiment but it has the pathos of lone
illness, and with reference to human
action expresses what should be rather
than what is. Our philanthropy has
taken the form of bringing relief rather
preventing the infliction of wrong. 1t
is practical but lacking in the efficacy
of cure, The undoing of a wrong is
often an impulse transitory in its
effect, But the steady resolve to
cast no shadow becomes an element OF
character. The ex-governor is fort
innate in the selection of motto as il
is a sermon tersely stated. But the
absence of shadow should not be due
to the negative qualities of the rays.
There is something more in goodness
than absence of vice.
