Reveals Awful seorota,

A dispatch from Kinat, N. d., says
tho dead body Of Charles Herzig, who
let5 a written confession that he was
guilty Of q murder committed near
Youngstown, OHIO, yer thirty years
ago, has been found by a posse OF
seaIchers. The body was hanging TO
u tres In a secluded ravine In the
county of Wallace. Pinned to his
breast was a piece Of wrapping paper,
on which was written a confession of
his crime. Around his neck was a
shred Of thin green stuff such as NO
men use for face wells. 1t Is recalled
by q former Youngstown man there
that L!2z.e Grombacher wore such a
veil whcn murdered and that part Of
1t was used to strangle her. The piece
found about HerZig's neck is supposed
to be the remainder of the veil, as he
slowed such a piece to a fellow ranch
man to whom he told the story OF his
crime, declaring that he had kept 1t
all these years to use In ending his
own life some day.

Maine Turning Against 1t.
The Washington Post says 1t Ia a
rather remarkable fact that, although
he Democracy, as q national organic
iGion, has always bsen opp )sed, to
''sumptuary laws" such as statutory
prohibition OF the liquor trGmo, the
most and the best kind OF prohibition
s now found In the few States that
IRE solidly planted In the Democratic
columns. The Boston Globe notes with
Interest," that while Maine is growing
more and more uneasy about the sys
lem Of prohibition, aud getting ready
for o campaign Of resubmission to the
Ieople of tho whole question:, Georgia
md South Carolina are earnestly talk
ing prohibition. The Globe states that
already In Georgia 1903 Counties have
10 license, % have dlspensaries, and 6
nave high lic,nse. The effort nov Is,
,ays the Globe, to have the legislature
provide a system Of State option"
under which the six counties EMO,
would be wiped out. Our Boston con
temporary adds that:
In South Carolina there s re.
mark be movement to close up the
ilSpensaries, and Senator Tillman pro
poses to leave the question to the
Democratic primary. The prohibitions
SITS in South Carolina, as well as in
Georgia, are confident that their cause
will win IL presented to the people.
AT the same time 1t Is curious that
the opponents OF prohibition In Maine
md Kansas, where the system has
'een tried, are as confident that the
people are ready to vote against a con
,inuanco Of the present regime as the
Georgia and South Carolinau prubibi
tiOnists are that their case needs only
to be presented to find acceptance at
tho hands Of the people"
The Post is In receipt of q very long
and intensely earnest communication
from q South Carolina Democrat who,
after applying to the liquor trade IN
his State all the epithets that used to
be hurled at the rumsellers aud their
places OF business in Maine sixty years
ago, closes by quoting this stanza from
a song that was sung at temperance
meetings in New England by the
grandparents of the present genera
tion:
Tell me / hate the bowl?
Hate is a feeble word;
l loathe, abbor, my very soul,
With strong disgust is stillcd
When l see, or hear, or tell

HIDDEN TREAsURG
La Found I'm Michigan by Two Men
Last WoCk.

Excitement prevails at Northport
owing to the reported finding Of a
treasure Of $3.50, 900, suppose to be the
booty OF two robbers who committed
theft in Chicago about the time Of the
great fire.
Last week two aged strangers ap
peared in NOrthport and hired a boat
to take them to North Fox Island,
some miles In the bay. Later tho re.
turned to Northport and secured d
quantity Of supplies. 1t was learned
that they were provided with maps
and charts.
When the strangers started to re-
turn to the island it is reported that
Jay Spangel, a barber, and Joe Gag
non a blacksmith, followed In q launch
and watched their movements. Soon
after the man who carried the strang
ers to the island returned after tools.
In the meantime 1t Is reported that
Spangel and Gagnon located the troa
sure and got 1t. Telephone communi.
cation with the island was cut eff and
the story as reported from Northport
by n Of the non Is believed to be
correct.
In the late CO.'S or early 70's a great
robbery took place in Chicago. IL Is
stated by some that the robbery took
place during the great Chicago fire. a
large amount Of money was stolen by
two men, who escaped by a small
schooner, but were pursued by OIL GERS.
They eluded the vigilance OF their
pursuers and after several days out
sighted South Fox Island.
1t Is believed they buried the trea
sure on North Fox Island, then unin
habited.
a number Of years afterward q man
In q Canadian prison died. But before
he died he impaired information OF the
robbery and the location OF the treas
ure. While In prison he made a chart
OF the island, showing the exact loca-
tlOn Of the gold. Before he died he
sent the chart to his wife. The wild
ow married again and to her husband
cOnfided the secret, The husband did
not believe the story and the chart
was lost.
In later years the husband In max.
ing q trip from MaCkinaw to traverse
City passed the Fox Islands and rolat
ed the story OF tho buried treasure to
the sailors. 1t ia believed that the
sailors, who heard the story, In some
way came possessed OF the chart and
that they sought to unearth the treas
IRE.
