ChriStened ssROSedaIe."

In honor of her birthday, Mrs.
D. G. Rose entertained the men,
bers OF the G. A. R., and the w.
R. c. and friends last Saturday
at Rosedale farm. A banquet of
ice cream, fruit and other delicious
things was prepared and served
beneath the shade of the choice
fruit trees Of which Mr.. Rose is so
proud. About fifty guests were
present, having arrived upon an
old-fashioned hayrack to give
novelty to the occasion.
The principal feature of the day
was the christening of the farm,
which was done in a charmin g
manner by Miss Daisy Rose, who
broke the bottle of wine and pro-
nounced the name, "Rosedale", =,
by which name the farm will here
after be known.
Rosedale Farm is one and a
half miles southwest of town on
the Philomath road. Mr.. Rose
has just finished driving a well,
and a residence will be erected
this fall. Daring the digging of
the we'll, a narrow stratum of coal
was penetrated which proves con-
clusively, what has for a long time
been held, that coal, more or less
extensively, underlies Benton
county.

THEY ARE FRIENDS.
Battling Nelson and His Manager
Make Up.

San Francisco, Cal. Dec. 27.-Teddy
Murphy and Battling Nelson have prac-
tically arranged their differences and
will continue their old relations. The
only matter left unsettled is the exact
amount due Nelson from Murphy but
this is a matter of pure arithmetic and
Will be adjusted easily, as both men are
ready to forgive all that has happened.
The men met at Greggains' place last
night and after shaking hands retired
to a private room, where they entered
into a discussion of their troubles
Murphy was inclined to think he had
been badly used.
What did you have me arrested
for?' Murphy demanded.
You know as well as I do, Ted"
came the response, that what you did
in the way you left wasn't right I only
did what 1 seemed forced to do. If
had known all that 1 do now might
not have done it, but at the time things
looked so that I didn't have a chance
to do anything else"
well. Bat, you know that you can
have an accounting any time you want
one
81 believe that. Ted. and that's just
what 1 want
"And I suppose" (this said in tenta-
tive tones) that will be your manager
in the future?''
Tied, I think we can straighten this
thing out fine and dandy. I only want
what is coming to me and nothing more
and 1 believe you want to do what is
right. It's up to you to get the thing
all straight and if you do it things will
be fine again.
They discussed finances a little fur
Their in friendly fashion and separated,
agreeing to meet again and arrange de-
tails. Murphy claimed that he owes
Nelson about $4,000, while Nelson
thinks it's some more. Murphy said to-
day that his only purpose in leaving
Nelson was to make the fighter follow
him to Chicago. He thought the Dane
would board the next train for the east.
1t is said that the manager wants to
get the fighter away from certain as
sociates in this city.

or three men entered the house, but
finding nothing of me the searchers soon
went away and left me to my work.
After they had departed I arose and
| removed the cover, gasping for breath
as I did so, and there in the dim light
lay exposed the treasure which had been
left to the last of the Brintons. The cav
ity was full of gold pieces, some of them
bearing date of 200 years before-enough
yellow coins to fill peck measure. My
grandfather had reSOrted to uSury and
half-starved himself to leave it to my
father, and my father had pinched and
saved for a lifetime to add to it and
leave it to me.
I took the money piece by piece and
counted it into my hat, and when the
hat was full 1 carried it out among the
shrUbbery and emptied its contents on
the ground. There was sixty thousand
dollars there-Sixty thousand and
hundred or two over, and it had come
to me when I had scarcely shilling to
my name.
That evening L hired a cart for a cou-
pie of days, and having possessed my
self of a strong leather bag 1 trans
ferred the gold from the garden to the
cart and drove to Shropshire and put 1t
in a safe place. 1t was my treasure in
law, and mine to do as I would with,
but had the find come to the knowledge
of the villagers there would nave peeh
gossip and sensation at the least.
Later on I called on my solicitor,
and he thought my move a wise one.
It was only a week or two before
some one visited the cellar and dis
covered the destroyed column and the
cavity to the base. The conclusion
was jumped to that treasure had been
found and removed, and believe the
authorities took up the case and made
something of a search for me, but
nothing came of it,
1t has been reported, and is current
ly believed, that I removed gold and
precious stones to the value of half a
million dollars, and that I was guided
in my work of discovery by the ghost
of my father, which appeared to me
one night when 1 lay ill. The amount
of money was what 1 told you, and
there were no gems or pieces of jew
elry. The house and grounds had
been for lease ever since my fathers
DEATH but no one would close a deal.
The solicitor had no hopes of selling
the place, now that 1 had come into
my own and wished to realize and
live elsewhere, but when the story of
the treasure got abroad we had a
score of would-be customers, and a
sale was made at far beyond the real
value.
The ruins were pulled down and
carefully overhauled, and the cellar
walls were taken out stone by stone,
but the new owner only had his
trouble for nothing. The fortune of
the Brintons had come to the last
of the name, and I am living in the
enjoyment of it today.-(Copyright

PIPE ORGAN HERE,
Work Will Commence as Soon as
Experts Arrive.

Three freight cars arrived over the
Rock Island railroad from Chicago on
Monday afternoon, carrying the foun-
dalton of the big Topeka pipe organ
which is to be erected in the Audi
torium. Two more cars are expected
on Wednesday or Thursday with the
remainder of the instrument.
The ten special mechanics, who
were to have come here to put up the
organ, had not yet arrived at noon,
and for that reason the hauling was
not commenced this morning. As soon
as they come the work of transporta-
ton will commence.
w. It. Roehr, the Topeka agent of
the Kimban company. said that the
blizzard which is now raging over the
city would not interfere. 1--WE can
move the material to the Auditorium
all right" he said this morning, "by
using the big covered vans. 1t isn't
as if it were a heavy rain storm. Just
as quickly as the men come in we
will get the work The organ will be
in entire readiness by January Is,
and for the dedication which takes
place two days later. The state
poultry show will not bother US at all,
for by January 10, at which time
that commences, we will have every
thing up and out of the way. The
finishing work and the tuning and
voicing can easily be done in the re-
manning seven days"
