A Pointer For Tool Buyers.

There is probably nothing in which
quality is more important than in
tools. Yet the quality Of a tool is
not apparent to the eye, andeven the
experienced buyer must take chances
unless he relies upon a brand which
guarantees reliability. |
But there is really no need for any
one to buy any kind OF tool blindly.
The Keen Kutter brand which has
representative standard OF America
for 36 years, covers every kind oil
tool.
By simply keeping in mind when
buying, the name Keen Kutter, any
one may buy any sort Of tool with
full assurance OF lasting satisfaction.
The Keen Kutter line OF tools was
awarded the Grand Prize at the
Worlds Fair, st. Louis. This Is the
only award OF the kind ever made to
a complete line OF tools.
If your dealer does not keep Keen
Kutter Tools, you may make sure Of
being supplied by writing to the Sim.
mons Hardware Company, St. Louis,
or 29S Broadway, New York.

Find Buried Treasure oil
Great Value in Mexico.

City OF Mexico, Mex, May 90
Bars OF gold and silver to the value
OF 100000, which are believed to be
part of n great treasure buried more
than century ago, have been found
in a mountain on the Jesus Maria
hacienda in the state of San Luis
Potosi. The find was made by work.
men in the employ OF a company
formed for the particular purpose OF
conducting a systematic search for
the treasure, and OF which Joaquin
Quessda, well known resident OF
San Luis Potosi, is the head.
The treasure was taken by Bern
aleio, a notorious Spanish bandit,
who terrorized that section OF Mexico
in the latter part OF the eighteenth
century. Its extent may be realized
from the fact that 400 mules were
employed in transporting it over
land. The treasure proceeded from
the famous San Pedro camp, and was
on the way to the City OF Mexico for
transfer to Spain. Some time later
Bernalejo was captured and taken to
Spain. He admitted that he had
buried the treasure in the mountains,
but refused to disclose it's where.

several times. He remained in pris.
on in Madrid for years and was final
ly pardoned by Charles vi. 1t was
the bandits intention to return to
Mexico and secure the treasure. but
he died while making arrangements
for the voyage. Friends, to whom
he had confded something OF the 10.
cation Of the gold and silver, came to
Mexico in search OF the treasure, but
we're unsuccessful. In 1882, in 1863
and in 1881 Mexican companies we're
formed to conduct searches, but no
one OF the three was successful. The
company formed in 1881 was headed
by Pedro Diaz Gutierrez, then gov.
ernor OF the state OF San Luis Potosi,
and a large sum Of money was spent.
The success of the new company has
caused great excitement in San Luis
Potosi. Work is being done under a
concession from the government and
one. third of the amount found will
go into the Mexican treasury.

Lee CuIver's Misfortunes.

Sedslia, No., May 2S.-Lee Culver,
a contracting plssterer Of this city,

wild western cyclone as a sort OF
preparation or probation for the
real troubles OF lie.

trouble. While convalescing from
this injury he was stepped on by his
horse which had become unruly and
as result of this accident his limbs
were bruised and one foot was badly
crushed. He was laid up for about
week with these injuries and return
ed to work. While performing his
duties at q b .use in West Sedalia, he
hung his vest in an adjoining room,
The garment contained his watch
