SEEKS A CHEST OF GOLD.

N. 4.
Alvin Trayler a prosperous farmer
living a few miles from Petersburg.
Pike county, Indiana, has begun the
task of turning up the soil of a 160-acre
and now has about twenty men en-
ployed for the purpose. He is con-
WINGED that a treasure of twenty-dollar
gold pieces is hidden there and other at
temDts to find it having failed he is
going over the whole tract.
Many years ago Carl Schurman. a
Mississippi river gambler. purchased the
tract and paid for it in $50 gold pieces.
Among the articles that he brought
over from Evansville was a heavy chest
bound with iron and believed to con-
tain gold. He lived alone much of the
time. What surplus corn. wheat and
other farm products he raised We're sold
to the neighbors and it was believed
he was thus adding always to his hidden
wealth.
Trayler befriended him and nursed
him in his last illness. After his death
among his affects was letter to Tray
Ter, in which he said that he had no
heirs and he desired Trayler to accept
the farm in return for many acts Of
kindness. The letter was accepted as a
will and Trayler came into possession
of the farm and the few articles Of fur
niture that the cabin contained
Within a month the floors of the cabin
had been taken up and the search for
the gold began. but the efforts were un-
rewarded 1nen lne circle OF luseSI-
cation was widened and the yard and
barn lot We're dug over without finding
the longed for wealth.
Many expedients have been resorted
to in the hopes Of locating the treasure.
One night Trayler would go to the cabin
note the position of a certain star and
draw an imaginary line from IT to the
earth. Then he would note the POSI-
ton of another star, draw another line
would dig for the hidden chest. He
believed that Schurman adopted some
such method for placing the gold in
safety, but. of course. the difficulty con-
sists of finding out what particular
stars were used and at what particular
time of the night Schurman made the
deposit in mother earth. Not being
able to discover these. Trayler has
finally determined to dig the whole
farm over. and is confident that the
search Will now be rewarded by finding
the chest of gold.

RUSSIA IS PEACEaBLE.
General Williams Denies COun-
try on Verge of Revolution.

New York, June IA dispatch to the
Herald from London says: Gen c. B..
Williams, who has been stopping at the
Hotel Cecil, emphatically denies the re-
ports that have been circulated to the
effect that Russia is on the verge Of
revolution. In an interview he says:
ITO judge by the reports in the Eng
lish papers one would imagine that
Russia was a hotbed of sedition, just
quivering on the brink Of revolution.
Now have visited that country period
ically for many years past, and have
had an opportunity to see. perhaps,
more than the average visitor could see,
and to study the conditions of the coun-
try in a way that one can only do by
intimate acquaintance. The country is
as peaceable as any in the world
People go about their business as
freely as in England or America, and ap-
pear to be just as little in awe of the
authorities. Furthermore, as regards
foreigners-or I should say Americans
there seems to be only the friendlieSt
feeling. You are everywhere received
kindly There is an evident disposition
to do business with you on StraightfOr-
some stories sent over the wire to the
English papers, there are two which 1
can contradict irony my own personal
observation. The story about unusual
myth, pure and simple was at the re-
view with my wife and came within $50
feet of the spot where the car was
standing.
Beyond the ordinary guard of honor
there was absolutely no appearance of
precaution to safeguard the emperor's
person. certainly there was nothing like
wholesale exclusion of the public. The
car moved around quite freely and did
not appear to have the least distrust
of any one who came near him. I have
seen other royalties at similar functions
and certainly the ear did not appear
any more in danger or in fear than they
did.
Another instance Of gross exaggera-
ton was the incident of the students at
the cathedral when, according to the re-
ports to London. a. small sized revolu-
ton was the result Now, I happened
to be sitting in the balcony of the New
sky Prospect hotel at the time and wit
messed the whole incident. There was
a handful of students who were ex-
PEELED from the cathedral because they
would insist on smoking inside the
church They were expelled with as lit
tie fuss as so many young fellows would
who tried to smoke inside st.
Paul's. There was not the slightest dis
turbance,- certainly nothing which would
in any way be described as an emute.
Yet the trifing thing evidently was
magnified in an event which almost
threatened the Russian throne.It was all
over in few minutes

SHAMROCK TOO HURRIED.
Designer Watson Disapproved of
Early Solent Trials.

New York. June IA dispatch to the
World from Glasgow says:
Designer Watson is greatly worried
by criticisms passed on his workman
ship on the challenger. He told Upton
he did not place any value on the result
of the trial races on the European side.
He built the yacht with an eye to Amer;-
can sailing conditions and nothing has
happened to alter his judgment that she
will prove the fastest challenger he ever
sent across.
Captain Sycamore expresses entire
agreement with this view. He says if he
and Watson had had their way the chal-
lenger would have been taken straight
across the Atlantic when she was
launched, to- be tuned up there, but
Upton did not want this, as his only
chance of getting the king as his guest
was to have the Solent trials
They were accordingly arranged, Wat
son disapproved of them from the first.
He blames the hurry with which the
boat was fitted in order to bring them
off The accident and Indifferent per
formances will cost Upton another $35.

New York, June IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
General Kitchener's account OF the
battle of Vlakfontein serves to light up
public interest once more in the Boer
war Two facts stand out: First, the
determined nature Of the Boer assault
upon an intrenched position, fifty miles
from johannesburg and, secondly, the
heavy losses suffered by both sides. This
has been the first real engagement
which has been fought for many months
and it is decisive proof that the Beers,
when led by a cool and wary general
like Delarey. can still offer strenuous re-
SiStance to British arms. The details Of
this battle may indicate that General
Dixon's force was surprised and that the
casualty was run up to ia In this way.
But the Beers in any event, We're the
assailants and were not repulsed without
severe losses. The Beers are also re-
ported to have fought with exceptional
gallantry while in pursuit of General
Plumer's convoy.
A British officer who is on f1rlough
after fighting from COlenSO to Lyden-
burg, has been predicting that the clos
ing sklrnlsheS of the campaign would
occur on the line of the Durham
Johannesburg railway in the vicinity of
Heidelberg and Standerton. Both of
these affairs were within the theater OF
war defined by this officer months ago
as the last Boer ditch.
The natural explanation of the fight
ing is that one mine after another is
opening and the refugees are returning
to johannesburg in small groups and the
Beers have been making desperate ef-
forts to brighten them and to prevent
resumption of industry in the gold belt.
VlakfOntein was probably designed to be
a loud warning to the refugees that the
war had not ended and that Johannes
burg was still an unsafe place for resi-
dence.
