FOUND The GOLD.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Savannah, Ca, July 2l-It is reported
that W. w. Haslip, the Philadelphia
treasure seeker, has found the gold and
silver which were buried on Warsaw
island, off the Georgia coast, during the
civil war by Confederate blockade run
ner to escape capture by federal ship.
The treasure amounts to several hun
bred thousand dollars, and Mr.. Haslip
was here making arrangements for the
transportation of his find
He would not admit that he had found
the money, but he bought a lot of can
vas bags and made other arrangements
which indicate that he had bullion to
transport. Haslip has been on the island
digging for the treasure for more than a
week. He obtained the secret of the
treasure from Amos Bemen, who was
first mate on the Confederate blockade
runner Lucy Verne, which sailed out of
Baltimore for Charleston carrying large
sums in silver and gold.
The treasure belonged to the Starke
family of Baltimore. Chased by federal
ship, the captain of the blockade run
ner, feared capture, buried the treasure
on Warsaw island, where it remained
Until dug up by Haslip.
The island is owned by George Pear
sons, wealthy New Yorker, and it is
possible that he may claim the treasure.

NEW MAN ON THE N. W.
0. H. Mccarthy Is Mac e Assistant Su-
perintendent of M. 81.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
An important change went into effect
today ON the Chicago & North Western
road whereby 0. H. Mccarthy becomes
| assistant superintendent of the Mime
sofa & Dakota division with headquar-
tiers in Winona, and j. p Cantillion, who
has been holding this position, is pro-
NOTED to the position of assistant super
intendent of the Ashland division, di-
vision over which there is even a heavier
business done than west of this city.
Mr.. Cantillion is still in Winona, and on
account of the serious illness of his wife
it may be some little time before he is
able to leave.
The promotion of Mr.. Cantillon is de-
served recognition of merit. He entered
ern road some twenty years ago as a
freight brakeman, and since that time
has steadily advanced, every position
held being little higher than the one
formerly occupied. From freight brake
man he became freight conductor, then
a passenger conductor, roadmaster and
then assistant superintendent. He came
to Winona to accept this position last
November, and in the discharge of the
exacting duties has shown marked abili
ty. His latest promotion to be assistant
superintendent of the Ashland division
carries decided increase in salary. In
this position Mr.. Cantillion will make
his headquarters at Kaukauna, Wis. The
Ashland division constitutes the old Mil
waukee, Lake Shore & Western road,
purchased some years since by the North
Western road.
O. H. Mccarthy, the new assistant SUI
perintendent here, has been superinten-
dent of small division of the Rock
Island road with headquarters at Esther
vile, Iowa. Like Mr.. Cantillion, Mr.. Me-
Carthy has come up through the train
service, working up from a minor posi-
tion held with the Burlington, Cedar
Rapids & Northern road, and continuing
in the employ of that company until
coming to Winona. This road was re-
Gently acquired by the Rock Island and
assumed its name. In Cedar Rapids Mr..
Mccarthy was quite well acquainted
with f. E. Flanagan, the agent of the
northwestern road in this city, both
being located there at the same time.
While Mr.. McCarthy's title here is not so
high as with the Rock Island road, being
an assistant superintendent instead of
superintendent, the position is really
better and more responsible one, for the
division on the Rock Island of which he
was superintendent was small and COM
paratively unimportant, while the Mime
sofa & Dakota division of the Chicago
division of the Chicago & North West
ern road, of which he becomes assistant
superintendent, is one of the largest di-
visions on the system. Mr.. Mccarthy
is considered very capable railway
man, and it was on this account that the
North Western road offered him the po-
sition in Winona He is married man
and will move his family to Winona at
an early date.-Winona Republican-Her-

LIBRARY FOR W!NNEBAGO.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
G. d. Eygabroad of Winnebago City
has made a proposition to the village
council that he will build library build
ing to cost not less than $4,000, with no
strings attached other than that the vii
lage shall furnish the site and $1,000 for
books, in addition to those on hand, trust
ing to future councils to maintain the
library, the building to be known as the
"Eygabroad Library" The proposition
is now under advisement and every
means will be taken to bring the PROPOSE
ton to successful issue.
Mr. Eygabroad is comparatively a
young man, being in his forties, he was
born and raised n this village and spent
his whole life here in various business
pursuits, mercantile, banking and real
estate, in which he has acquired a COM
potency. His name stands for honesty,
integrity and loyalty to his fellow man,
wherever he is known in southern Min
nesota.

the day at her home.
The ladies found warm welcome

sightseeing, they all repaired to the
hospitable Jacoby home. There they
were received not only by their hostesses

sat down to a delicious dinner, at which

The SUMMER CLEANUP
Reason Why Grain Buyers Are Not
Taking in Flax.
Never Buy Small Grain Except Wheat
at This Season.
From Wednesdays Daily.


The local grain buyers are somewhat
wrought up over the statements made in
reference to st. Clair farmer not being
able to market load of flax in the city
yesterday.
Orange Little, when seen, said
"There is no reason why there should be
any talk against the Mankato market.
We have been buying flax up to last Sat
urday, when we made our regular sum-
mer clean up, in compliance with orders
from the house, and shipped out all that
we had, not only of flax but of all small
grains. Grain men always stop buying
anything except wheat between the. crops,
and flax has not been bought in any of
the small towns around for two months
past.
Il have been urging the farmers for
some time past to bring their flax, as
wanted to make out a full carload. In
the last month | have taken in less than
24,000 pounds, and have shipped out only
two carloads in two months, and lost
money ON both of them, as the market
has been a steadily falling one. Flax has
been coming into Mankato from all
around. for this city has been the only
market, but it has generally come in
IL small jags of four to six bushels and
upward. The farmers have been selling
what they had saved for seed, but were
unable to put in on account of the wet
weather.
1--WE will begin buying again when the
crop commences to come in. The farm
ers generally understand about the sum-
mer cleanup, and l was surprised when
Mr.. Kurth came in with a load. l told
him that perhaps Nh Grannis was still
buying"
s. II. Grannis was seen and said: Il
have not bought fax for a week, as l
made my annual cleanup week ago,
and | will not buy flax again until new
fax begins to come in. Every dealer
has his cleanup every summer and after
that does not buy until the new crop
comes in.
Il told Mr. Kurth that if Mr.. Little
was not buying flax to come back and
he could place his sacks in one OF my
bins and ! would buy it of him when |
commenced buying again. He did not
return. however, evidently preferring to
haul it home again. His flax graded re-
iected, and seventyeight cents would
have been all that it would have been
worth in the Dlankato market, which
would probably not have been satisfac-
tory. Had he marketed it some time ago
he would have received dollar bushel
or more for it."
Hubbard & Palmer's elevators buy at
all seasons and if they receive but little
flax they ship it in sacks on top OF
load of oats, or else concentrate 1T at
one station, and ship all together. This
latter is expensive as freights are high.
