SECRET OF sCoTTY's WEALTH,
Money of Long Ago Dates May
Mean Robber Cache Dis
COVerV

Toponat, New, Aug. 2.-The secret of
the wealth OF ''Scotty,' the Death Valley
miner, has been discovered. "Scotty'
has found an old cache OF robbers VINO
held up transcontinental stages in the
early days. Dozens of Wells-Fargo
treasury notes that were dragged from
the coaches were never heard of again
until now. A party of fasteners were
travelling in the Death valley region in
an automobile recently when they met
a prospector.
"See Scott?' he was asked.
He explained that "Scotty" was some
where ahead of him, because he had
stopped in the shade Of his mule to rest,
while "Scotty" pushed on. "He showed
me some high grade ore and he's goin'
out to realize on it. He finds out I'm
broke pulls out lot of gold eagles and
he stakes me two hundred said the
prospector.
In the light of the lamps he held out
some gold eagles. The date was 1S4C
on each one, with mint mark of d. In
1910 there was no Denver, but a mint in
Delganus, Ga, coined money for time
"They have had detectives after
'Scotty," said the prospector. 'These
ore samples he carries are blind. He
gets to town, dumps the sand in his
bags and turns up with legal money
He's got the old stage coach cache and
he's slick enough to keep it too"

Congressman Ledgerwood.

John Ledgerwood of Leon is on the
ground for W. W. Morrow of Alton for
state treasurer. He is said to be the
most popular man in Decatur county
and may go to congress when Colonel
Hepburn gets through. He is associated
with Mr.. Morrow on the state board of
agriculture, succeeding Mr.. Morrow,
who is now president, in charge of the
farm implement department. This is
the most ticklish and difficult place in
the whole state fair management. Mr..
Morrow organized it in perfect shape
and Mr.. Ledgerwood has maintained the
high standard. These gentlemen talk
about as much fair, to delegates, as they
do politics. 81 believe my soul Bill
Morrow is more interested in seeing
the state fair big success said del
egate yesterday, "than he is in getting
the nomination. "And it's going to be
the greatest agricultural and live stock
exhibition ever held in America" said
Mr.. Morrow when asked about it later,
"Say, you want to vote for Morrow for
treasurer Wednesday, but in any event
come to the fair and see the airship,
the acres of farm machinery and the
other things that'll be shown there"
And so he talked on. 1t is belived a
reunion of the convention could be
held at the fair.-Des Moines Register

An Adventurous Correspondent

Few newspapers in the United States
are able to command the services of as
brilliant a corps of correspondents as
The Chicago Record-Herald. Its choice
of Walter Wellman to represent it at
Washington is good illustration of it's
wise policy OF getting the best there is
to be had. Mr.. Wellman has won a
national reputation as magnetic and
resourceful news writer. And now he
is preparing to clinch his reputation for
originality and daring by trying to
reach the north pole in an airship.
Whatever may be the results Of Mr..
Wellman's daring attempt to reach the
pole this summer in an airship and
send the news of the voyage at once to
The Record-Herald by wireless telegra-
ply, the Wellman-Re Herald eNpe-
dition is sure to be conducted by Mr..
Wellman with the same cool courage
and wholesouled enthusiasm that have
made him an ideal newspaper correspon-
dent.
Mr.. Wellman was born in Mentor,
Ohio, in 1858. At IA he began his news
paper experience, establishing at that
age weekly paper in the little town of
Sutton, Neb. In 1884 he became the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Herald, for which paper he visited
the West Indies in 1892 and located the
landing place of Columbus, marking the
spot with a huge stone monument. In
1894 he made his first dash for the pole,
reaching the latitude of 81 degrees
northeast Of Spitzbergen. In 1898 he
tried the same fascinating quest again,
penetrating as far as Franz Josef Land.
On both trips he had wonderful success
in discovering new islands and securing
new scientific data which has been Of
great value to the American Geograph-
ical Society. His voluminous writings
for scientific periodicals and popular
magazines have shown the same incisive
thought and keen insight that have
marked his journalistic work.

CURE YOUR KIDNEYS.]
Do Not Endanger Life When a
Leon Citizen Shows You
