UNDER A
FALSE STEP
Eccentric Farmer Had Hidden a
Small Fortune.

Niarysville. O., June PA great
many stories are in circulation in re-
gard to the method that William Ben!
son, who died yesterday at his home
in Darby township, employed in saw
ing and caring for his money. Ben.
son was considered quite wealthy,
and was leading Democrat, He was
considered rather queer in many re-
spects, and among the many odd
things characteristic of him it is
known that he never deposited any
money in bank. For several years
he kept about $4,000 enclosed in
metal box, which was secreted about
his premises.
A few years ago he decided to
change its hiding place. A false step
wos constructed In the stairway Of
his home, and under this his capital,
about $4,000 in $40 bills and $2,500
In gold was placed. A strip of carpet
was spread over the step, and no one
would have suspected that it concealed
the hiding place of such sum.
A member of the family happened
to notice the carpet over the false step
today while searching for the money,
and found it. 1t is marvellous that no
attempt was ever made to rob the
house, for many persons in that neigh
borhood were reasonably certain that
the old gentleman had hidden treas
ure, as he always reported money to
the assessor each year.

method OF denouncing Republican
Councilmen, traitors and liars besides" I"

LOCAL PRODUCE MARKETS
TRADE FULLY UP TO EXPECTATIONS
FOR THE MONTH.
In Many Lines Even Better Than Last
Year-Steady Tone I'm Groceries
Good Arrivals of Cereals.

For the second week in July business
was quite satisfactory. In but few lines
is 1t expected TO be very active through
the entire month, still with the dry goods
houses, confectioners and other lines of
trade in which the business fiuctuates with
the season of the year trade has been some
what in excess Of the corresponding period
last year. On Commission row prices Of
fruits and vegetables are now within reach
of all consumers, Irish potatoes apples
and fruits of the season are selling as low
as last year, and melons and tomatoes are
selling at even lower figures. The produce
markets are strong, especially eggs and
poultry, which are very firm at quotations.
and are fast movers. Staple groceries rule
steady and are moving freely, with the
range OF prices practically the same as a
year ago. In but few lines of trade have
prices ruled so steady from month to
month as in staple groceries. Flour is In
a stronger position, and some grades are
slightly higher. Hides are still dull, with
prices unsettled. For many months this
market has been disappointing. Leather
rules steady to prices and a fair trade
iron dealers report trade as very salts
factory, with prices firm and unchanged.
AS a consequence profits are very salts
factory. Travelling statesmen who came in
Friday and Saturday all give good reports
of the outlook for a big fall trade, the
more promising condition of all crops being
a feature in favor of such results. Wheat
is mostly cut and in good condition for
threshing; oats are said to be fully as
good as has been expected, and every day
makes the prospect for good corn crop
brighter
