Ackley, March "A revival of re-

The Rev. G. l.. Barker, of New Jersey,
has assisted the pastor of the M. e.
church in these meetings, from the
start to the present, the power and
presence of the Spirit has been mani

congregations have assembled each
evening to listen to the evangelist.
Sunday Mr.. Barker preached to a
large congregation and in the after
noon he spoke to men only. In the eve
ming a congregation that filled the
church to the doors listened to an able
sermon and they were moved by the
appeal. Meetings have been he'd for
men only, women, young people and
all classes have been reached. Mr.
Barker. unlike many of the evangellsts,
does not resort to some of the methods
used by them, does not abuse the
church or people, but breaches the plain
old gospel, appeals to the intellect and
reaches the heart.

SEEK LOST TREASURE
Clinton Trappers Revive Popu-
lar Belief in Tales Told of
Robbers Cave
SEARCH NEVER REWARDED
A Great Hole Was Torn In the Ground
BY Dynamite Again Yesterday, But
No Gold Was Dscovered-Cave is a
Mysterious Place, and No One Has
Ever Ascertained Its Depth.
Special to Times-Republican.

| Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, March 2.-Reviving a popu-
lar belief of generation ago, George
Woods and c. L. Henry, Clinton trap
pers, have been searching for buried
treasure on the bluffs north of the
city. Tales of buried wealth in the
vicinity of Robbers Cave, few miles
above the city, were rife two or three
decades ago, and weeks and months
were devoted to the quest of recovering
the treasure by the people OF that vi
cinity. The long search proved futile,
however, and the resting place of the
money, If the tales were true, was
never found. Yesterday the two Clin-
ton men went to the vicinity with a
large quantity of dynamite, and select
ing 4 spot as close to that reputed to
have been the spot where the treasure
was buried. they spent most of the day
in the work of exploding the powder,
tearing a great hole in the ground.
Their work was vain however, and no
gold was forthcoming.
The cave, which opens from a bluff
overlooking the Thousand Islands, a
picturesque spot on the Mississippi,
much admired by excursionlsts, has
been the subject of many mystic tale,
and an air Of mystery has always per-
vaded the place. No one knows the
depth of the cavern. Once a party of
Clinton men formed an expedition and
proceeded to the spot with ropes and
other paraphernalia, intending to solve
the mystery of the place. One of the
party was lowered over hundred feet
down sheer cliff which juts out
short distance behind the small en-
trance to the cavern. Not reaching
bottom. he gave the signal to be raised
and no one has since cared to repeat
the experiment. A current Of fresh
air blows from the mouth OF the cave,
which gives rise to the impression that
the cavern has another outlet. One
theory is that the cave is a tunnel,
which extends under the Mississippi
river, with an opening on the Illinois
SIDE but this is not generally credited.
Others who ventured a short distance
within the dark hole declared that the
sound of running water was plainly
audible. 1t is not improbable that the
cave has deep water in the bottom, as
1t Is believed to extend down below
the level Of the river.
