game was lively, many interesting scrim-
images taking place. A number OF hard
bumps were received by the young ladies'
but they pluckily played the game out,
and played as briskly at the end of the
game as they did at the commencement.
Miss Wyman and Miss Alice R'cker
played the best tor St. ]. A., and Miss
Roy and Miss Margaret Newell played
the best tor Lyndon Institute.

NEWS OF MISSING MAN.

Times Union. Jacksonville: Some
light was thrown on the mystery of
the disappearance of Ebert F. Boyd,
a former postoffice employe of this city.
yesterday, by information received in
Jacksonville to the effect that Boyd,
after leaving Jacksonville, had gone
to the lumber camp at Watertown,
Fla, and was given employment there
for several days. His movements after
he departed from WATERFOWL, on Oct.
s. however are still as much of a mys-
terry as ever, and the authorities do
not know the mans present where
abouts. They are anxious to find him,
for the sake of his relatives who fear
that Boyd is mentally unbalanced.
Boyd was transferred from Chicago to
take a position in the registry depart
ment of the Jacksonville Dostoffice.
After working here about two weeks,
in September he suddenly disappeared
from the city, without leaving any eX-
PLANTATION. The information obtained
from WATERFOWL was to the effect that
Boyd, in leaving that place, took a
train going west. 1t is believed that
if Boyd is still alive he will notify the
postoff1ce authorities here, in order to
relieve the anxiety which he has Civ
en- his friends and relatives in Chi
cagO.

Persons suffering from any kind of

interested to know that Dr. Hathaway,
the honored Southern Specialist, is
now able to announce the perfection of
a system of cure whereby any urinary
disorder can be stopped in a remark
able space of time; it has been espec-
tally successful in cases of elderly men
who have to get up nights, and since it
is now well known that one-half the
men who suffer from seXuel weakness
and impotency above the age of 40 can
trace their trouble directly to a urinary
disease, ii makes the doctors discovery
all the more important.

Queer Find OF a Gold Mine,
From Leslie's Weekly.


A tale is told of rich gold mine
in Idaho with a ledge of ore which
once extended above the surface of the
ground in a clear, solid ridge several
feet high and entirely distinct from
the surrounding formation. This ledge
was long and unbroken, and lay dl-
rectly across the course which nun
dreds of prospectors took every year
TO reach other gold fields. This OBJ
struction of rock-the great value OF
which was long unknOWn-was too
high to be surmounted by pack ami
mails, so the prospectors cut trail
directly through it. For several years
these eager gold-seekers passed back
ward and forward over this trail in
search of gold mines. One night a
prospector camping near this ledge or
rock picked up d bit of it and, from
force of habit, took it to a creek near
by and washed it. Then he examined
the stone, and to his great astonish-
ment he found "colors" in it-bits of
sparkling gold. The prospector does
not mistake gold when he sees it. He
is not deluded by iron crystals or bits
of mica as the 'tenderfoot" frequent
ly is. The gold sparkle is clearer and
brighter than that of any other min
eral and it is the same in sunshine
and shadow.
The prospector, tremendously ex-
cited, broke off more pieces of the
ledge and found more of it bearing
free gold. Then he located his claim,
and that was the beginning of a rich
mine. Yet for years the sagest of
prospectors had passed over this trail
through the cut in this ledge, never
suspecting it's value, although by it's
very prominence it seemed to invite
inspection.
