A Piano at a Nominal Price.

Chicago's largest music house, Lyon
G. Healy, announces a Clearing Sale OF
Pianos. Several hundred splendid in
struments are offered without reserve
until all are sold. In this stock are
number Of Steinway and Knabe
pianos, and new and secondhand
pianos including instruments of the
following well-known makes: Sterling,
Huntington. A. b. Chase, Vose,
Fischer, Weber, Chickering, G.. W..
Lyon, etc., etc, In square pianos there
are fine-tOned instruments at $50, $40,
$50, and upwards. In Upright Pianos
neat instruments at 800, S120, $140,
$3.50, $165. $3.50, 5000, and upwards.
In Baby Grands some nice specimens
at $3.50 and upwards. Nearly all these
pianos were intended to sell for much
more than these clearing sale prices.
This is an opportunity that will not
occur again. Immediate attention is
therefore necessary. A good plan
would be to order a piano at certain
specified price, leaving the selection
of it to Lyon & Healy. However, they
will send a list and full particulars
upon application. Any piano not prov
ing entirely satisfactory may be re-
turned at their expense. Address
Lyon & Healy, 81 Adams ST., Chicago.
Distance is no obstacle in taking ad-
vantage of this remarkable chance to
obtain a piano, for in proportion to the
saving to be made the freight charges
are Insignificant. If you do not al
ready know Lyon & Healy by repUta-
tion any banker will assure you or
their entire responsibility and record
Of over a third of a century for honor
able dealing. Write to-day so as to
avoid disappointment.

known, but he left one day and has
never since been seen in the vicinity.
All the gold reported to be buried, how
ever, is not in the western part of the
territory, for, as the story goes, there
is 100000 in gold dust buried on the
farm of Joe Boulanger, in the Usage
nation, near Pawhuska.
This is supposed to have been buried
by returning gold miner in the days
Of the California fever. He was a
Missourian, and, having made fortune
undertook TO guide a party Of gold
hunters back TO the states. Near what
is now Wichita, Kan, he got into a
dispute with a scout. The latter, who
knew of the wealth carried by the
party, contrived to obtain the assist
aace of a band of warlike Pawnee In
dians. They followed the wagon train
and finally surrounded it, Goldie, the
Missourian, realized the danger and
took all the gold of the party upon
the pretense that he intended to bury
it at the edge of the timber. In the
gathering darkness he managed to pass
the Indians, and when the latter at
tackled the party and massacred all the
members, GOldie was gone.
The scout discovered this the fol-
lowing morning, and Goldie's trail was
found and followed When he became
aware that he was followed he select
ed spot on what is now called Artil-
iery mountain, marked by a large tree
peculiarly twisted, and there buried the
dust. Proceeding a short distance, he
unsaddled his mule and continued HIS
journey on foot. So carefully did he
cover his trail this time, however, that
the Indians failed to find it before he
was out of their reach. He arrived
home safely and expected to return
and find the buried treasure, but was
taken i'll and died.
Upon his death he related to his
wife all the circumstances, and gave
her minute directions for discovering
the spot, but she knew of no one to
whom she might intrust her secret, and
having sufficient to keep her from
want, she waited until her son, then a
boy OF SIX years, mad reached man
hood befores he told the story. In
1882 the first search for this treasure
was begun. The place had been
cleared off by Boulanger, a civilized
Indian. When questioned by a mys.
terious middle-aged man he well re-
membered the location of the peculiar
I tree. The man dug near the spot
shown him, but finding nothing, told
Boulanger the story, and said that il
the money was ever found he would
like a share. Since that time there
have been several attempts to find the
supposed wealth. Some have been in
secret and some have been open, but
nothing has ever come to light, so far
rs known, of Goldie's gold.

OKLAHOMA TREASURE.
Legends Of Buried Gold in the South
west

west.
Guthrie (Okl) Letter to the New
York Herald Oklahoma, for SO many
years the home of the outlaw and the
desperate, has her stories Of buried
treasure which rival in magnitude the
tales OF wealth buried along the At
.lantic coast by Capt Kidd and other
ravagers Of the Spanish main. Every
now and then men with modern blue
prints or well-thumbed maps appear
in an otherwise peaceful community
and by mysterious signs convey the
information that they have come to
seek the buried treasure of fabulous
wealth. One of the best of these
stories. which many credited, is that
dealing with the Tres Piedras gold.
How much there is supposed to have
been has long since been lost in OBJ
security, or il is a legend handed down
by the Catholic priests in old Mexico.
Il is often told how these men have
kept the knowledge to themselves I'M
III by chance IL was revealed to a
stranger, who. taking up the thread,
has followed IL through and found the
burial place The story is only
partly fanciful, for it is beyond Ques-
ton that men have at various times
gone to Beaver county-the No Mans
Land OF the early history-and there
sought the Castilians' wealth.
According to the legend, a Spanish
column in search of Eldorado traversed
the plains TO the northeast Of Mexico.
st a distance OF every 10 or 10 miles
they set guide posts OF stone inscribed
with the letter V. When near what is
now Garrett. in Beaver county, ii was
decided 10 bury the treasure, which is
supposed TO have been enormous. The
remaining guide posts we're so planted
at a distance of half a mile apart that
the apex OF each V pointed TO a spot in
the center OF the circle. They con-
tinued their journey, but we're mas
sacred by a band OF Indians. Only one
was able 10 return TO Mexico, where he
soon after died from exposure, before
he could do more than give the incom-
plete directions needed.
II is related that an effort was made
70 follow the trail, but it was lost near
Santa Fe and the search was given up.
Recently Michael Ryan, an Irishman,
who had lived his life among the Mexi-
cans. was found digging in basin be-
tween Cimarron and COrrumpa rivers.
He admitted TO the sheriff OF the coun-
". who found him at his work, that he
had discovered the guide posts and
found the circular ring described in the
legend. What success he had is not

our hospitals with the best modern ap-
planes of every kind and with the
most skillful personnel in the way of
physicians and nurses. We hope in
this way to do away with the general
prejudice against hospital treatment
which exists everywhere among the
poor and ignorant.
Taking the towns of Colon and Pan
ana, do not think that it would be a
large estimate to say that when work
is in full swing, two or three years
from now, we shall have a population
on the strip of 100, 900 people. 1t is
net a large estimate, particularly in
the tropics, to say that 10 per cent. of
this 100000 will be constantly sick
from one cause or another. If our eff
forts are crowned with success we
ought to be able to get half OF this 10
per cent. under hospital control. This
would give us a hospital population of
1000 to look after.
We hope that a year from now,
when our unacclimated population
I comes, it will be to clean, unaffected
villages, with all the present native
population free from malarial infec-
ton, and that there will be left very
few malarial mosquitoes, and that
these few, not being able to bite any
human being previously infected with
malaria, will be harmless. This is not
an entirely theoretical scheme. In
Havana yellow fever was cared for in
! just the way that we propose for ma
laria. The infected human being was
taken and placed under screening and
treated until he was free from infec-
ton, and thus no yellow-fever mos
quito vas allowed to bite him during
the infected period and become herself
| infected. At the same time wholesale
mosquito destruction was carried on.
At the end of about eight months of
this work it was found that the num-
Der of yellow-fever mosquitoes had
been greatly decreased, and that those
that were left could find no human be-
ing infected with yellow fever whereby
they, the yellow-fever mosquitoes,
might become infected and thus con-
vey it to other human beings. For the
past three years Havana has been free
from yellow fever. An unacclimated
man can go to Havana now, and
though he may probably be bitten a
good many times by yellow-fever mos
Quitoes, these mosquitoes have had no
opportunity in the past three years of
biting a human being infected with
yellow fever, and therefore are them
selves entirely harmless. This condi-
tion we hope to bring about in the viii
lagos along the canal route by means
similar to those adopted at Havana.

DRAUeHT DOGS IN HOLLAND.
Animal Does the Wort, Of the Donkey
In the Low Countries.

In Holland and Belgium the dog &C.
cupies the place which the donkey
does in several other countries. In the
former the sight Of a couple OF dogs
dragging along a pushcart loaded VITA
vegetables. flowers or shining milk
cans IS a familiar one. They trot
along underneath the cart, within easy
reach Of the blunt toe of the sabot o.
the woman. who walks behind II u
guide IL by the handles attached at
that point
In Belgium the dogs are hitched in
front. as the Russians attach their
horses to their droskies, three abreast
and are guided by a pair Of rope reins
fastened 20 a muzzle about the nose OF
the dog In the middle.
Recently the National Cart Dog as
sociation, organized TO regenerate the
original race Of Belgian mastiffs, held
its first exhibition Of cart dogs. The
Flemish breeders have found that in
crossing the Belgian mastiffs with the
Great Danes, with the idea Of increas-
ing the size OF the cart dogs, and so
securing additional strength, they
made a mistake. The result proved to
he animals with weak headquarters
and disproportionate limbs. Now they
are endeavoring TO revive the original
stock.
The women and dogs of these two
little countries are another evidence
that human and canine nature are the
same the world over. When one sees
the white-capped Belgian milk woman
with her dogs standing near a well,
the woman having a battered can
slung on her forearm, one instructive
IL becomes suspicious. The suspicion
Is confirmed when one discovers a po-
Hceman OBTAINING at the roadside a
pair OF sulky-faced milkmaids, with
their dog team and cart laden with
sIender-necked milk cans, while he
lots their names in his little book
against a charge of watering milk.
When the cart comes to a standstill
the dogs are no longer draught ami
mails. but dogs. They sit or lie COM
placently down and loll their tongues
from their open mouths. Apparently
they have forgotten that they are anil
mails intended for human companion
ship. but condemned 10 hard labor for
life.

HEALTH PRoMLEM AT PANAMA
How American Officials Plan to Make
the lsthmus Habitable.

Col. William c. Gorgas, Medical
Corps, y. S. A, in Review of Reviews.
We shall have at Panama a compact
little territory of 500 square miles, I'M
der a government with ample author
ity, approaching the military in its
powers and literally supplied with
funds
The canal strip will be practically
an Independent state, as far as santa
ton is concerned. To protect ourselves
from infectious diseases being intro
duced from the outside we shall have
quarantine establishments at Colon
and Panama similar to those at New
York City, where ships can be exam
ined, and, in case any infectious dis
ease is found, the sick can be isolated
and cared for.
The part of the sanitary organization
that will involve by far the greater
part VI the expense will be the hospital
system for the care of the sick. With
the view to keeping in close touch
with malaria, yellow fever and other
infectious diseases, it will be our en-
deavor to get all the sick from the
whole population TO come to the sani-
tary department for treatment. With
this object in view, we expect to equip
