MURDERER HAS PRIVATE JAIL.
His Precautions Will Cost Him Double
 Term of Imprisonment.

Rome-A wealthy land owner Raj! monde Pace, was in 1898 condemned by the criminal courts of Roggia, in Italy, to ten years Imprisonment for having murdered a servant of his. Judgment was passed in default, and it was surmised at the time that the man had escaped to some distant land under an assumed name Quite recently the police heard that he was in Foggia, and raided his house. They were very much amused in finding him safely locked up ill cell which he had built for himself in the basement of his house One of his servants was paid by him to act as jailer, and by order of his master supplied him once a day with bread and a jug of water. During eight years Pace never stirred from his cell, and he told the police that after completing the full term of ten years to which he was condemned he intended petitioning the king for a royal pardon. As it Is, the urfor. tunate man has to start his punish. ment afresh, and in the end will have served almost twice his time.

Later the land where the money was sup posed to be buried passed into the hands of Evans.
 Evans tried but could not locate the gold. Prentice paid no attention to the story. Some time ago while he was grading down the road near his house he uncovered on a steep incline a rusty can such as tomatoes and apples are put up in. Opening the can Prentice counted out $2,136.50 in gold and silver. In addition to this the farm which people joked Prentice so much about Is now very valuable property.

 They Buried the Treasure.

Topeka, Kan.-We have heard of buried treasures, but did you ever know of case in which one was found? Well, Joe Prentice, of Heb ron, Neb., formerly of Sabetha, some time ago found buried treasure.
 Prentice formerly operated a hard ware store in Sabetha. Prentice traded the store to John NJ. Evans, now a resident of Ohio, and got, among other things, farm near Heb ron, Neb. People laughed at Prem tice good deal because of the farm. That country was not considered much of farming country then.
 When Prentice got hold of the farm Evans told him the following story. A party of immigrants were travelling over the country in the early days to seek their fortunes in the far west. One night near the present site of Hebron the party was attacked by

 able to the Industry.

Fl Paso, Tex.-Some of the accounts of ostrich farming in this country have been so glowing that the reader was left much in doubt as to their accur' acy. The ostrich business is fairly prosperous, especially in the Salt River valley, Arizona, where 1,500 of the 2,200 ostriches in the country are now owned This is new line of animal industry for Americans and there is much to learn.
 We have not thus far produced such fancy birds as have some of the more experienced breeders in South Africa, but the size seems to be in creasing and the health of the birds is all that could be desired. So far serious ostrich diseases have not trou' bled the American raiser; even the so-called barring of the feathers has not been observed. Ostriches need a hot, dry climate, such as is found in the southwest. The rainy portion of the south Is far less desirable, al.
