FATAL HUNT FOR TREASURE
Natives Enter Old Tomb In Egypt
Seeking Wealth and Perish
bI SufIoeation.

A certain native discovered the en-
trance of a tomb in the floor OF his
stable. and at once proceeded to worm
his way down the tunnel This was
the end Of the man. His wife, finding
that he had not returned two hours or
so later, went down the newly found
tunnel after him. That was the end
of her, also. In turn, three other
members of the family went down into
the darkness; and that was the end
of them. A native Official was then
called. and, lighting his way with
candle, penetrated down the winding
passage. The air was so foul that he
was soon obliged to retreat, but he
stated that he was just able to see in
the distance ahead the bodies of the
unfortunate peasants, all of whom had
been overcome by what he quantity
described as the evil lighting and bad
climate" Various attempts at the
rescue of the bodies having failed, we
gave orders that this tomb should be
regarded as their sepuleher and that
its mouth should be sealed up. Ac-
cording to the natives, there was evil

A Little Newspaper.


Which is the smallest newspaper in
the British empire? AT one time the
distinction belonged to the Echo of the
Mountains, published in a little village
high up in the Australian Alps. This
microscopical weekly was about the
size of a sheet of notepaper. Prob
ably the midget Of present day British
Journalism is the st. Helena Guardian.
which is not much larger than a sheet
OF foolscap. The latest issue 20 hand
is sraveiy concerned with the indo-
lence Of the youths. It seems thew
spend most Of their time in idleness
or card-playing. This state of things
the Guardian declares, is certainly
not bright outlook for st. Helena /"
But the lonely little island may take
heart Of grace from the fact that Il Il
oy no means the only place where
young people loaf and play cards.

Edson Emery In Trouble.

Edison Emery, for a long time re-
speeted resident OF this town, has been ar
rested on body action in favor OF Mrs.
o. II. r. Belmont and Mrs. Pankhurst,
the noted suffragettes. The cause of ac-
ton is based on alleged fraud in regard
10 the sale Of building lots at the North
Pole. II seems that soon after the return
OF Cook from the Pole Mr.. Emery bought
OF Cook an extensive strip near the Pole.
A portion OF this he sold to the plaintiffs
by a warranty deed, representing the
land as being unoccupied and frst-class
field for women at the Pole. The two
women then went to large expense and
organized colony to take possession.
They visited several states and the Lon
don iails, bought supplies, canned goods,
candy, chewing gum, supplies OF the Bos-
ton American and Bethel Courier, etc.
They fitted out a steamer. The party was
on the eve Of starting for the Pole when
news was received that Peery had taken
possession OF the Pole and had built a
fence around it. The case will come on
for trial at the December term of Bethel
county court on Friday, Dec. 81, at 7 p.
m. Hon. r. j. Flint will be presiding
judge, and Hon. L. M. Heath and Hon.
W. g. Whitaker assistant judges.
