Spokane, Wash, Jan. 26, 1909.
Mr.. A. H. Powell,
Manufacturing Chemist,
Spokane, Wash.
Dear Sir: After suffering for
over 80 years with stomach trouble
and spending hundreds of dollars
with doctors and for patene medi-
cine and receiving only temporary
relief, if any, finally | was induced
to try Powell's Stomach Remedy.
After taking one bottle l felt like
a new man and could eat things
that l had not been able to eat for
years. | wrote you this letter so
you can publish it SO that anyone
affected as | was may read it and
learn of this wonderful medicine
and be permanently cured. Yours
truly, EDWARD RYDBLOM,

a day after the fighting. The sol
diers had left. He says every
house and store bore bullet marks.
Even the home of Edward Trim
mer, the United States consul, suf-
fered. Mr.. Trimmer was In Blue
fields at the time.
The 5000 rounds of ammunition
were fired by 10 insurgents and
so of Zelaya's men in the main
street, seemingly at the moon. Es-
trada, it was said, had told his men
to shoot high, believing he could
scare the governments soldiers
into submission, and events proved
that he was right. Zelaya's men
threw down their guns and fled.
Some hid in the holds of two
steamers, two dropped into a dried
Iup well, others crawled under
boxes, bushes and anything they
| could find, while the rest trusted
to their heels and kept on running.
| After being assured by the
insurgents that they wouldn't be
hurt, those who hid in the boats
and the well came out, promised
to be good, and were permitted to
go on their way rejoicing.

She made no answer, but sat
musing, drumming lightly on the

cloak Then at once I caught a
glimpse of her stockinged foot, the
toe of which slightly protruded
, from beneath her ball gown. She
saw the glance and laughed.

She looked over her shoulder at me

Tell me- she said gently, what

my invitation. it is true, but none
the less an intrusion, into my

Indian blanket fastening, with two
round discs ground out of shells
and connected by beaded thongs.
The trinket was curious, though of
small value. The baroness looked
at it with interest.

the students from the gymnasium and
the children from all the schools
marched in procession to the, poets

wreath. Speeches were delivered. and

No matter how economical a young

SEEK HOLY RELICS
MISSION OF EXPLORATION IN
PALESTINE.
Solomon's Temple and Other Things
of Interest to the Christian World
Are Sought So Far With.
out Any Result.

King Solomon's temple, the ark of
the covenant, Aaron's rod and the
5even-branched golden candlestick
which stood in the holy of holies-
these are just a few of the treasures
for which party of young English
men are now eXcavating in Palestine
In the neishborhood of Jerusalem.
The majority of experts are of the
opinion that these treasures are not
to be found where they are now be-
ing looked for, but the members of
the expedition have other information
upon which they place reliance.
This is cryptogram, which is said
to have been found in the Talmud by
Finnish engineer and which is
thought 10 give a clew to the place
where the treasures of King Solomon
are hidden. Exactly what this cryptic
gram is has naturally been kept secret
by the Finnish engineer, but he has
convinced his supporters in the en-
terprise OF its reliability. and already
a good deal of work has been done
toward n practical demonstration of
its accuracy or inaccuracy.
Perhaps even more interesting
than the search for King Solomon's
treasures is the composition of the
party engaged in it. At the head of
the syndicate Is Clarence Wilson,
brother-in-law of Lady Sarah Wilson,
and very wealthy man. Then there
is Robert Vivian Duff, commonly
known as Robin. a lieutenant in the
Grenadier Guards and husband Of
Lady Juliet Duff. perhaps the tallest,
as she is certainly one Of the most
beautiful women in London society.
With these IS associated Hon. Cyril
Ward, brother Of the earl of Dudley
and of Hon. John Ward. who married
Miss Jean Reid daughter OF the
American ambaS sador to England.
Cyril Ward like Wilson and Duff. is
a man OF means. having married Bar
oness de Bremen. a great Dutch heir
ess. Other members Of the syndicate
are Capt. Montague, Il. Parker of the
Grenadier Guards, n brother of the
earl OF Morley: and two other guards
men, Hon. Mr. Walsh and Mr.. Foley.
Three months ago the necessary
permits having been obtained from
the Turkish government, the party
sailed for Palestine in a yacht spc-
cially purchased for the purpose by
Mr.. Wilson, and work was shortly aft.
erward started I'm the neighborhood of
the Pool Of Sloan. Sixty men were
engaged as laborers, and the exca va
lions went merrily on. They are Eth
going on. but, perhaps less merrily,
Tor up to the present nothing has
been discovered to reward their la
bors. One by one the heads Of the
expedition are returning to England,
and Clarence Wilson got back home
few days ago. some Of the others
having preceded him. Capt. Parker,
Mr.. Walsh and Mr.. Foley still remain
In Palestine. and It is supposed that
the party have not yet given up hope
Of discovering the treasures they set
out to seek.
