GOLD COIN FOUND
 AFTER MANY YEARS
Men Who Dug Up $40O0 Are Under Arrest in Mis-
 sissippi

N1ar,d,an Miss, September 20.-(Spe- c,alA-For the last two weeks the nelgh- horhoods of Kewaunee and Cuba ana otbar nlaces in the eastern part of Lau- derdale and west Choctaw have been very flush with gold coin.
 The sudden appearance In the commun- ity of so much of the yellow metal mas been until yesterday great mystery lo a, majority of the people. It was no nh- common thing to find persons who were never known to possess as much money at one time as the smallest gold denom- nation handling twenty dollar gold nieces. There were one or two old ne- sroes who were in possession of ten and twenty dollar pieces, to say nothing of the number of white persons seeking change for tens and twenties.
 Yesterday, however, the mystery was solved, and as a result two prominent young men of Choctaw County are under arrest, and are today given prelimi- nary hearing before Justice Ellis ot the Kewaunee beat
 The young men under arrest are Messrs. Duke and Gray, and 1t Is said that other prominent citizens are involved, and their arrests are anticipated.
 A Mr. Watson Of the Kewaunee neigh borhood and owner of what Is now known as the Ellis, and man of con- siderable means, had a habit of buryine his money About twenty-five years ago MT. Watson deposited for safe-keeping four thousand dollars in gold in the earth near his residence.
 Mir Wilson made a note of the spot at which he buried his chest at the time but in the notation he made an error ot twenty feet. The location of the money was stated In the memorandum as being forty feet in a certain dlrecton rom d well.
 When In after years, and short time before his death, which occurred about twenty years ago, he returned to the spot where he thought he had deposited the money, he was unable to find the treasure.
 He searched diligently for the hidder cash, always maintaining that 1t was de posted at a distance of forty feet from his well. After his death MT. Watson's heirs searched in vain for the money.
 About two weeks ago, however, tht search was renewed, some ten or twelve persons who knew of the loss of the de- ceased Watson, but who had no right tC the money, engaging in the hunt.
 The search was prosecuted at night and magnetic needle was brought into use to splendid advantage. The money was found, but at distance of sixty feet from the well. instead of forty, as MT. Watson thought.
 MT. Watson, a son and heir of the late unfortunate owner of the gold. claims the right to the gold and he Is the pros ecutor of Messrs Duke and Brey It is said that, aside from the handsome sun of gold which MT. Watson is seeking tt recover, number of citizens of nor. or less prominence were interested in tht search, and that a sensation of no smal magnitude Is likely to follow the prelim mary hearing of the persons under ar. rest.
 The trial, which Is being held befor. Justice Ellis, Is in progress this after noon and there are some two or thre, hundred people in attendance

ther away from her and presently when she sank down exhausted in a swamp the light disappeared altogether.
 Whatever truth there may be in the story, it forcibly illustrates the career of many a wot .an who has followed the marsh fire of love in the belief that it led 10 home and comfort and found herself at last exhausted and deceived.
 IT'S BITTER LESSON
 learned by many a woman who thought love all-suficient, that love alone cannot be the foundation of the home. It needs health. Strange as 1t may seem the beautiful loving woman who is weak may lose the love of the husband for whom she broke all home ties, while on the other hand a wor1an who has no greater dover than robust health may win and hold the love of her husband past all possibility of loss. The first re- quisite of marriage is health The wife's first necessity is health. Health must be the mothers or she will know no happiness in her children What makes ill-health so common among women lyhy do they suffer with headache, back ache and pains past description? These eufferings are ill general caused by dis ease of the delicate womanly organs, and they are in general curable by tue use of Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription.
 II take great pleasure in writing you what great benefit your Favorite Pre- scription,' Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets have done me-" says Mrs. P. A. Graham, of 6I7 Race St., New Orleans, La. vI have been a con- ktant sufferer for the last eight years @sith female weakness, nervous and gem eral debility, trying everything l could find to help me, but to no avail.
