Found Hidden Treasure.

Knowing the eccentricities Of her
husband, Garrett Quackenboss, who
recently died in Colorado Springs,
Colo, leaving his entire estate, valued
at about $4,000. to his son and STEP
daughter, the widow, who is nearly IS
years of age, has been searching the
house for money, which she felt conf
dent her husband had been boarding
for the past 30 years.
Yesterday, while digging in the eel
lar, she found buried an old earthen
jug and tin box. When she attempt
ed ito lift the. jug she was amazed to
find that she did not possess sufficient
strength. Mrs. Quackenboss called a
servant, and the two lifted the jug to
the surface. When they broke open
the: large mouth of the jug a stream
of gold pieces, ranging from SIS to
800, flowed forth until $4,000 was
heaped upon the g round. The tin
box contained valuable papers, such
as deeds and titles to property in Col
orado Springs which will enhance the
estate another SIS 900. dbl

The Trade Of Korea.
(Chicago Record Herald.)

NCn1cdSO hocOfQ f1efalQ.)
: Had Russia been strong enough TO
keep the Japanese armies south Of the
Yalu, the fate, of Korea and of it's
curious old emperor, vi, would now
be occupying a good share Of. our at
tention. AS it is We have almost .ceas-
ed to think or hear Of them. When the
war is over, however, and especially
if the japanese win, Korea will -cnring
rapidly to the forefront Of interest.
The japanese have promised to main
tain in it the s'open door," and it is
certain that the development. Of "om-
mercial opportunities in Korea will
be swift.
In former years the British con-
trol,cd about 60 per cent of tie 10
rem market for imports, the J:,l.an-
csc and Chinese controlled 30 per
cent. and other nations were forced
to get along with the remaining 10
per cent. More recently japanese
trade has been advancing at the ex-
pense of british, and as far as cot
ION goods are concerned the Jaoa :ssc
and British divide the market fairly
we'll between them, with something
left over for American mills
The rer ort of Korean trade for last
year has Just been published, and it
shows that: despite the disturbed con-
ditions arG the probability Of war,
both imports and exports were mrc!,
larger in 1903 than they hal ever
been before. The imports amounted
to $4,000. 900, the merchandise exports
to $4,SOO,O0O and the gold exports
$2,SOO,0OO. This includes, however,
only the trade at the treaty ports, and
not any frontier trade with Russia or
China. This total of almost ST., 000.-
900 is only foretaste of the trade
that Korea will provide when it once
receives stable and decent govern
ment. The struggle of Great Britain
and the United States on the one side
and Japan on the other for the con-
troll of the markets will probably be
as strenuous in its way as is the very
different kind of struggle with Rus
STA, which is now approaching its
first great climax.

Rain Needed.

The farmers of Wayne county and
vicinity are praying for rain. Unless
they have rain and have it soon it is
said that the crops, which promise
to be good, will be ruined, and thou
sands of dollars will be lost to the
farmers and gardeners of this county.
The wheat harvest is practically fin
ished and most of the oats raised here
has been cut and is ready for the
thresher. Corn is still in the field,
and it is this crop that needs the rain
so badly. All parts of the county
are very dry as there has been no
hard rain for some time.
