Worst of all Experiences.

Can anything be worse than to
feel that every minute will be
your last. Such was the exper-
fence of Mrs. S. H. Newson,
Decatur, Ala, "For three years"
she writes, 81 endured insuffer-
able pain from indigestion,
stomach and bowel trouble.
Death seemed inevitable when
doctors and all remedies failed.
At length I was induced to try
Electric Bitters and the result
was miraculous. I improved at
once and now I'm completely re-
covered. For Liver, kidney,
stomach and bowel trou bles cleo
trio bitters is the only medicine.
Only so cents. It's guaranteed by

Another portrait of the emperor,

indignity. The paintings were torn and
there were marks showing that the
feature of the emperor had been stamp
ed upon.
The vandalism was reported at once
to the exposition authorities and an
investigation ordered. Both Jeffer-

fair detective force have been as
signed to the case.

1t have engaged private detectives
and every effort is being made by both
the authorities and the worlds fair

days. Warning of the flood was given
when the river left it's banks by re-
volver shots and the ringing of the
fire alarm, followed by the blowing of
all the locomotive and shop whistles
in town. Citizens upon RATS made Of

Reliable parties from Westphalia
report that a number of Mexicans
with teams ,plows and scrapers are ex-
cavating in that vicinity claiming to
have in their possession maps and
charts showing treasure to be buried
there to the amount of 100000 in
Mexican doubloons.
They say that the treasure Is buried
near what is known as the Bull Tank
and have agreed to pay the owners
of the land on which they are at work
q certain percent of the find for the
privilege of excavating. This treas
ure is said to have been buried during
the Texas and Mexican war. 1t is
said a tradition has existed that a.
large sum in Mexican doubloons was
buried somewhere on the banks Of
Pond creek and another that there
was treasure of considerable amount
in Mexican Money buried at some
point along the banks of the Brazos
river near Marlin.
Many excavations have been made
to locate the buried treasure, both on
Pond creek and on the Brazos river
These efforts were not only made by
home people, but strangers have gone
in and excavated, among whom were
Mexicans. A few years ago it was
no uncommon thing to see deep holes
dug along the banks of these streams,
