The Buried Bottles.

The search and final discovery
of the ''hellfire" bottles which
Steve Adams stated he had cashed
in an old building near Pocatello
has been one of the most interest
ing occurrences of its character ev-
err recorded. Adams told such a
straightforward story that the au-
thorities were convinced he was
speaking the truth. Moreover, he
was confident he could go to the
spot and dig up the can contain
the the bottles.
Going down there, he went to
the building and dug where he
said the bottles should be, put fail
ed to find them. A glass STOPPER
was picked up which he identified
as being exactly like those in the
smaller bottles, but the cache
could not be found. After two
days unsuccessful search the quest
was abandoned, it having been de-
termined there were no such bot
ties in the place.
Then a man came forward who
had done some work there Is
months ago. He had found the
can, got burnedA by opening one
bottle and then buried the others
in heap ofA&nders. He has
pointed out the place and the stuff
has been secured. Moreover. there
were two other men with him who
witnessed the unearthing and re-
burial of the can.
There probably neverwas a more
remarkable substantiation of a
statement OF that character
Statesman.
Word was received here yester-
day evening that C. <. Harris of
Haley had passed away in Cald-
well yesterday afternoon. Mr..
Harris was engaged in the furni
ture business in Haley and was
well known in Shoshone. Mrs. |
Harris, who has been in Caldwell |
for several days past, arrived from
that place this morning accom-
panied by her brother, DR.. Cue,
and his wife.

REvELlNe IN GREAT FIND.
Antedeuvian Stone Collar Found at
Fort Qes Moines


Des Moines. Ia. Sept. 5-The state
historical building is reveling in a great
find. 1t is a stone collar about twenty
inches long by fifteen wide. the like
of which has never before been dis
covered outside of Porto Rico. Tha
one at the historical building was re-
Gently discovered at Fort Des Moines
in making excavations for a new
building. How it came there is a
mystery and the use and meaning OF
the collar is not known to science.
The Smithsonian institute report for
1876 gives a detailed account and de-
scription of similar collars of stone in
the George Latimer collection. Those
in the Latimer collection We're all found
in Porto Rico in one place and it was
supposed the find had located all there
We're. Some of the collars We're in an
incomplete state. Others when com
pleted are about an inch thick by
three or four wide and the oval of the
collar is about 90 by Is inches. The
completed collars have designs and
images on the sides, and other indica-
tions that they served some purpose.
1t is possible that the natives Wore
them about their necks as a punish
ment for breaches of moral law. AT
the same time there is absolutely no
clue to the use to which they We're put.
The one found at Fort Des Moines
is in the rough state or uncompleted
state. 1t is exactly like the pictures
of the uncompleted ones shown in the
Smithsonian report of 1876 On the
side is the outlines of an image that
it was evidently intended to work out
in the completed object. The stone is
"a grayish granite. 1t was found at
considerable depth at the fort and
scientific publications will be informed
of the find. outside of those found at
Porto Rico none have ever been found
any place else except the one at Fort
Des Moines.

Poverty and Crime.

Lewiston Journal: Eleven thousand six
hundred and sixty deaths of such nature
that investigation was deemed necessary
occurred III New York city during the year
1904. according to statistics just compiled
at the coroner's office. OF this number
539S bodies were buried in the Potter's
field 81 going to unmarked graves, never
having been identified. The problem of the
social evils has important relation to these
data. 1t is unspeakably insignificant,
while wages are high and skilled workers
scarce, that there should yet be so large
and 50 mcnacing q contingent of poverty
and crime, Until we have better tcnc-
mont houses. less Spols in politics and
efficient industrial education. we shall
nurse poverty and crime by bad or by
inart Institutions, for which Socialists"
ianting IN saloons continue to impeach all
society for its want of social conjunction.
In our Judgment the problem of foreign
immigration adds no little to the pcrplex-
tiles Of the situation

habit of soundly thrashing his servants
when they displeased him. one day he
ordered a servant to go to a summer

a heavy horsewhip, he thus addressed
the offender:
Nov. you scoundrel, I've got you in

Tho Other Fellows Job.

There's a craze among us mOrtalS that is
cruel hard to name.
Wheresoeer you find "a human you will
find the case the same:
You may seek among the worst of men
or seek among the best.
And you'll find that every person is pre-
cisely like the rest.
Each believes that his real calling is
along some other line
Than the one at which he's working
take. for instance, yours and mine;
From the meanest "me-too" creature to
the leader of the mob
There's a universal craving for the 'other
fellows job
There are millions OF positions in the
busy world today,
Each a drudge to him who holds it, but
to him who doesn't, play;
Every farmers broken-hearted that in
youth he missed his call.
While that same unhappy farmer is the
envy of us all.
Any task you care to mention seems a
vastly better lot
Than the one special something which
you happen to have got.
There's but one sure way to smother
envys heartache and her job;
Keep too busy at your own to want 1.-The
other fellows job.
