The pier mirror, which was the de-

1t is to be able to see how ones clothes

this mission, but it calls for more

TERRIBLE ScALY ECZEMA.
Face and Neck Were All Broken
Out-Cured by Cuticura.

81 had an eruption appear on my

face were all broken out; also my
arms and the lower limbs as far as
the knees. l at first thought it was
prickly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to physician 1

Cuticura Remedies, in which I had
great faith, and all was satisfactory.

SCENTS BURIED TREASURE.
Man Finds Mark of Vessel That May
Have Held Gold.

Fort Worth, Tex.-While looking
over his pasture in Reed county Mr..
billiard, who lives near Thorp Springs,
was attracted by a mound of fresh
earth. Upon investigation it was dis
covered that hole had been dug and
at the bottom was the imprint of
some kind of vessel that had been
removed.
The place is particularly marked,
the excavation being in the center of
four roughly hewn stones, set in a
square and sunk almost out of sight
in the earth. A short distance from
this square is another stone with a
Ratchet sketched on its surface, the
edge of the Ratchet blade pointing di-
rectly to the place where the excava-
ton was made.
Mr.. billiard says he had often no
ticed the stones, but supposed they
were simply an old landmark. The

STOLEN GOLD HIDDEN.

After the hold-up the six men sepa-
rated, going to different parts of the
country. Marks and the man who had
assisted him in burying the gold re-
manned in Cripple Greek together.
Each feared the other and they
watched each other like hawks to
guard against any attempt to obtain
the money. After two years had
elapsed Marks had become a real
estate man and a lawyer. The other
man died year after the hold-up.
The story of the hidden treasure is
told by mayor f. l.. Baldwin, of this
city, who obtained it from half-breed
Indian named Clark while he was in
Cripple Creek in 1897. No living per-
son knew what had become of the
stolen $4,000 at the time Mayor Bald
win obtained the story but Clark.
The robbers had selected the year Of
1897 to uneaTth the money and divide
it. They were all to meet in Cripple
Greek on May %, when Marks and
the other man who knew the hiding
place were to get the gold and there
was to be a division. None OF the rob-
bers arrived at the meeting point on
the day selected. Days passed into
weeks, and weeks into months, and
the train robbers did not arrive.
Marks was the only living man who
knew the hiding place and he knew
that none of the other men had OBJ
tanned the money. He felt that he
was being watched by the other four
men constantly and he lived in con-
slant terror for months. He believed
that the other men must be dead, and
in October he decided that he would
go and get the fortune himself He
needed someone to help him carry the
gold and he told his story to Clark,

BOOTY OF ROBBERS BURIED IN
HILLS OF COLORADO.
Sum of $4,000 Taken from Express
Car in 1898 by Bandits Among
Rocks Near Cripple Creek
Secret of Cache Lost.

Youngstown, O.-Somewhere along
the 100 miles of railroad which con-
meets Cripple Creek and Florence,
Colo, is cached a fortune in golden
eagles. Among the rocks and boulders
lies hidden $4,000 in gold, and it is
very probable that it will never be
found unless some lucky hunter by
chance discovers the cache where is
hidden the fortune.
In the summer of 1898 the money
was taken from the safe of an express
car by six masked train robbers. All
of the robbers are now dead, and there
is nothing to mark the hiding place of
their ill-gotten wealth. The last Of
the robbers was man by the name
of Marks. On the day which he set to
unearth the treasure he died at his
Office in Cripple Creek from pneu-
monia. Marks and one other robber
were the Ily men who knew the hid
ing place or the money. They carried
it in canvas bags into the hills along
the railroad tracks near the scene of
the hold-up and buried 1t under the
rocks, while their four confederates
held the trainrnen and express messen-
gers at bay with their rifles.
The robbers planned to allow the
money to remain hidden for several
years, so that there could be no chance
OF their being discovered in passing it.

SECOND HAND MAIL Boxes
Why Little Village May Have BIs
Numbers In Its Post Office.

The man who was spending his
summer vacation In the country was
looking quizzically at the mail boxes
In the rural post office.
II did not know this was such a
large place." he said. IT thought Il
had a population OF only about 1000.
but the mail box numbers run much
higher than that, and / don't suppose
every one in town rents a box either"
The postmaster peered out of his
little barred window.
II can explain that" he said. you
see the country post Offices never
get new boxes, but we have those
left over when the city establishments
make over their Offices and get new
boxes. So you see lots of country
places are bound to have high num-
Der boxes.
| Although our numbers run over
1000, you won't find any less than
1000, some other country post office
drew the lower ones. I myself would
rather get the big numbers, for 1t
makes us seem like a busting little
city"

DEVICES INTENDED TO MAKE
RAILROAD TRAVEL SAFER.
Inventions Recently Patented by an
Indiana Man Which Are Hoped to
Do Away Entirely with Pres
ent Despatchine System.

indianapolis, Ind.-Elmer E. Steiner,
of Knightstown, has just patented two
devices invented by him which he
hopes will prevent many railroad acct
dents and make travel on trains much
safer than 1t is at present
Steiner's devices do away with the
present despatching system and put in
It's stead an automatic system. He
worked for two years on his inven-
lions, and he thinks he has succeeded.
He says his system has the following
advantages:
1t does away with all possibility of
rear or head-on collisions, as each
train crew knows at any time lust
where all the others are.
1t is security against any train run.

to the companies using it.

Being purely mechanical it is infal-
Hble, and cannot make a mistake or
"misinterpret ORDERS" and even if it
could disaster would be impossible.
1t does away with the necessity of
making stops for any purpose except
to take on or discharge passengers or
freight.

said Steiner, "a railroad may be
equipped at regular intervals of any
distance desired with stations in the
track bed, each of these stations be.
ing connected by circuits of electric
wires with the central office. When.
ever train passes over one of the sta
lions it automatically registers the
number of the train and the number
of the station, so that the central
dispatcher can tell at any moment just
where any train is.
In addition, every switch on the

switch which the train Is approaching
Is open or closed, and he knows at a
glance just how far ahead or behind
him Is any other train, in whichever
direction 1t may be going
The system would do away entirely
with telegraph operators at way sta
tions, so far as delivering and receiv.
ing orders are concerned. 1t would
even be possible for trains to run I'M
der this system without a despatch
er, as each train would know at any
time where other trains were located.
This, of course, would be Impractical
BILE, as 1t would give free rein to train
crews to run too much at will.
Power for the system is furnished
by either storage batteries or dyna-
mos. Once installed the system would
be inexpensive, as the first cost would
be the greatest. 1t Is adaptable to
electric roads as we'll as to steam rail-
roads.
Steiner, who is a rural mail-carrier,
first began to think of his invention
two years ago when he heard railroad
men on train discuss the problem OF
railroad accidents and their proven
ton. He then resolved to use his me-
chanical talent and ability in that di-
rection, and he hopes that he will soon
see the results of his labor in general
use.

who was prospector at that time, re-
serving the important details and
simply giving general idea of the To-
cation of the hidden wealth.
A day was appointed. The men
were to meet at the cabin of Marks,
who lived alone, early one morning.
When the morning came with it came
light fall of snow. Marks feared that
they would be followed and could be
tracked in the snow. He would not
consent to take the chance. His limbs
quaked with terror when he seemed
so near to obtaining the fortune which
had been buried for four years. Clark
described his terror as most AFFECT.
He thought that every man who looked
at him and was a stranger was one
of his robber confederates in the
hold-up.
Another day was set when Marks
and Clark were to go to the cache and
obtain the money. 1t was destined
that the robbeT was not to reap the re-
ward of his four years vigil over the
treasure, for the night before the day
appointed when the money was to be
unearthed Marks was found in his
Office dead.
Shortly after Marks death Clark
told the story to Mayor Baldwin, who
was at that time in Cripple Creek
established as an attorney and enjoy
ing the excitement of the early mining
camp. With the death of Marks also
passed away the secret of the hiding
place Of the money, for he left no
chart, no papers of any kind by which
the fortune could be located, and the
gold stolen from the express safe 13
years ago still lies buried among tho
hills along the Florence g. Cripple
Creek railway.

supposition is that the vessel con.
tanned money and the find may be con
nected with an old story that has been
told in that section ever since it was
first settled.
This story is that in the country
between Comanche peak and Robin

been buried by parties who on their
return from the goldfields of Califor-
MIA were attacked and killed by the
Indians then infesting the country.

Cure of Nervous Habits in Children

Cure of Nervous Habits in Children.
Curing the nervous habits or
tricks" of children Is one of the most
insistent problems facing parents.
The problem Is made particularly diff
ficult because the habits come SO
quietly that we find them established
before we have really noticed them.
Some habits are caused by disordered
nerves, and in such case the doctor
must be consulted. Twitching of the
face or limbs, opening of the mouth,
blinking of the eyes, hesitation Of
speech, are all indications that some
thing is wrong and no child must be
punished for them. Indeed, mere pun
ishment never does any good either to
the tricks dependent on bad health or
on those of imitation. Defective sight
is the cause of many so-called tricks.
A child whose vision is faulty screws
up his eyes or scowls in his efforts to
adapt his powers OF sight. In such a
case an optician or oculist should be
called in and the sight tested. A bad
habit is simply repeated action, and 1t
is only by persistently stopping 1t
that one can hope to eradicate it
