county and IS aiicrt one l.,iIe vide and

t-!.:.i. and cole and perfectly fresh. Its
lost mysterious characteristic is the
act that it overfows its banks every
seventh year. The farmers who own
the land upon it's banks have become
so used to this that they never at
tempt to cultivate the land in the sew
cith year. but give it up without pro-
test. as they know it is sure TO be
cluinoed by the waters.
The pottawatomie Indians. VINO IN
habited what is now Cass and adjoin-
ing counties. were familiar with the
characteristic of the lake. They be-
lfeved that the bottom was inhabited
by Il powerful spirit. which at inter
walls Of seven years caused the lake to
overflow. They construed this action
as approval Of the tribe by the spirit
and watched anxiously for the time to
come, for they saw in the rising waters
q sure indication that they had done
nothing to displease it. The early
white settlers became acquainted With
the legend and the Oldest inhabitant is

flow did not take place when expected

 The register yesterday morning showed that the night before there was s6975 in the different drawers Of this amount tbere was one twenty dollar bill and two tens. One of these tens was very old and worn. In fact, it was ragged and had one corner split with a very small part of it missing The marshal notified all the merchants regarding .t yesterday morning in hope that some one might be detected trying to pass it.
 Several circumstances led people to believe that whoever was guilty was some one that was very familiar with the surroundings. Mir. Berg had been sleeping in the back yard all the time up to Thursday evening when he went tn California. The only clue they have, and that is very slight, is thai the day before the occurrence a Mexi- can was noticed hanging about the store a good deal. He paid particular attention to that part Of the store where the register is.
 The entrance to the store was effected through a window in the upper story. The screen was removed and the win COW was found unlocked 90 it was an easy matter 10 open it. Another circumstance which added i to the distress of MT Thews mind yes terday was a letter received from his brother at Yonkers, N. Y.

 SCome time Thursday night some ono entered the New York store and almost demolished the cash register, taking all that was in it with the exception of a check for little over eleven dollars
 No one has any idea as to what time the robbery occurred or who did #. MT. Thew opened the store as usual yesterday morning and carried in sew eral boxes of express which had ar rived on the early train before he himself noticed the register What .irst attracted the atteE,ion to it was the fact that the back was <akea off and was on the floor.

The part facing the front and which wns first broken into protects the bells and the other mechanism of the machine
 Who ever committed the depreciation apparently had some knowledge of ths register as they first pried off the front and unsc~ewed the bells to prevent ther ringing while they were at work on the rest of the machine. One bell that could not be removed was stuffed with q ball of string which was equally as effective in preventing any sound.

 T. w Hanks of sol North First street. for years employed by the Me Cormick Implement Co., says: T con sider Doan's Ointment one of the best preparations on the market. l was annoyed with itching hemorrhoids, commonly called piles, for six or seven years, latterly continually. Sometimes the itching was so intense that it fair ly set me wild. despite the fact that I used everything l read about recouI- mended for such ailments, and every thing which my friends advised. Final ly my brother law advised me to take a certain course of the treatment. and when I went to the Brisley drug store for it MT. Larson advised me to try Doan's Ointment. I did so and 1 have never regretted taking his. advice. The first application so soothed the ir ritated parts that I knew I had at last obtained something with more than or iinary merit. X continuation of the treatment absolutely stopped the at tack. A short time ago I scalded the toes on my right foot. Doan's Oint- ment healed the burned part rapidly.
