GOLD FOUND IN OLD BRICKS.
Walls Of Mexican Adobe Houses Yield
Treasure for the Men
Who Know.

There are many remarkable towns IN
Mexico, but none more interesting
than Guanajuato, "The Hill of the
Frog" 1t might more properly be
called the "gold brick town." for the
houses have been found to contain
much gold.
This is curious situation, but It
came about naturally. Guanajuato-
pronounced Wah-nah-wahto-is one OF
the oldest mining towns in Mexico;
but the value of the place as town
was discovered when a railroad com.
pany decided to build a STATEN there.
1t was found necessary to tear down
about 300 adobe buildings, which were
made of the refuse Of various mines
after the ore was extracted.
When it became known that the old
adobe buildings would be torn down
pieces taken at random were assayed
1t was found that because Of the old
process, which lost much gold and sill
yer, they assayed from 50 to A ton
The mean value was estimated to run
about eight dollars gold ton.
The old buildings have brought about
$4,000 Mexican in gold, and persons
who have built since the new ma
chinery has been installed in the mines
are bemoaning the fact that the new
houses do not contain as much gold az
the old.-Scientific American.

ALBERT NOT GUILTY
Case of Marshaltown Man Charged
With Keeping Bucketshop, Tried at
Nevada-cuImination of Series of
Troubiae

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, April GIT took jury in
the district court about two minutes
yesterday to decide that John P. AL
bert, of Marshalltown, was not guilty
of the crime of keeping bucketshop,
as charged in an indictment brought in
by grand jury some months ago.
The case was tried before Judge
Clements, of Newton, who has ex-
changed courts with Judge Lee, of
Ames.
This indictment is the end Of a
series of troubles resulting from a
transaction that D. V. Thrift, of this
city, was patron Of the office in this
| city of which Albert was local mana
ger, made some months ago. Thrift
had big deal on on pork. The office
was closed, and Albert left town. The
| deal was not closed for some time, at
least such was the opinion of Mr..
| Thrift. He became suspicious and had
Albert arrested, charged with embez-
zelment. The matter was settled by
Mr.. Albert paying to Mr.. Thrift part
of the money which he had put into
the deal. Thrift then brought action
against A. j. Clark, Marshalltown
commission man, for whom Albert was
workign, for the recovery of more
| money, but this case was thrown out
of court. The airing which the matter
received after these troubles, resulted
| in the indictment of Albert upon a.
charge of bucket shopping.

'TWIxT THEORY AND CONDITION
Where the Gifted Playwright Is Con-
fronted with Circumstances He
Cannot Control.

Consider the apprentice playwrights
vision of his work. He has dreamed
a dream and the people of that dream
tread out their drama before his minds
eye, all fawless, perfect, just as he
made them. He sees them as real peo-
pie, not as actors. The scenes by moon
light are moonlight indeed to him; he
can smell the roses in the garden
where his heroine walks, but, sadly
enough, this Illusion of reality, which
continues for little while after the
conclusion of his writing, is apt to be
the greatest reward his work will bring
him. When the play is staged and he
finds that the harvest moon for his
moonlight love scene must be dis
carded because the moon-machine is
creaky and there is danger that the
audience may hear the moon go up,
when the heroine whom he pictured to
himself with "elf-gold hair" must play
her part as brunette because elf-gold
wigs do not suit her, and when his
pathetic father" has been given to a
comedian who gets a laugh" upon all
of his heart-rending speeches. then II
is that the playwright begins to com
prehend the difference between "the
dream and the business. Booth Tark
