Excavators at Iowa City Find Gold
and Human Skull While Dig
ging in Cellar of Building.

Barborka, Owns Property Where
Treasure Is Found.

of J. D. Reichardt, the well-known con
fectioner and amateur actor, is cred
tied with an extraordinary find-a
rusty pot, containing $445 in gold ant
other coins. The pot was dug up II
the Reichardt cellar under the store.
Father Has Wealth..
Mr.. Reichardt, Sr. has pocket full
of gold pieces, $40 and $40 coins, and
the remainder of the treasure trove
described in thrilling phraseology by
the Richards, is on display in the
Reichardt window, and great crowds
are gathered there, inspecting the
shining shekels and the rusty pot
with it's filling of clay.
Story of Find.
The story of the find is related by
Mr.. Reichardt as follows:
I'VE are eXcavating in the Dubuque
street cellar, under the old Barborka
building, and Herbert dug up the pot
which you see in our window today
1t contained many gold coins, firm
| ly imbedded in the clay, and also cop
per coins, indistinguishably corroded
so we cannot tell the denominations,
years of mintage, or even the country
in which they are coined.
Father Shows Gold.
Here are some of the coins contain,
ed in the pot unearthed by Herbert
and the proud father illustrated his
words with handful of cleaning gold
pieces, which he jingled merrily in
his outstretched palm.
1.-The total amount in the pot" he
continued, lis exactly $445."
Indian Skull and Stump.
"Thescoin pot was lying deep down
near an old stump, and the skull OF
an Indian-or so the piece of Uranium
seems to us to be-lay near.
Herbert dug up the skull and the
pot nearly at the same time.
Did Pioneer Die There?
Eve are in doubt how the money
got there. Maybe pioneer died
while fleeing from Indians or un
known terrors, way back 20 to 50
years ago, when these streets were
merely prairie and woodland.
Strange Claims Made.
ALREADY one young man has ap-
peared, alleging that his uncle disap'
peared many decades ago. when the
Indians infested this part Of Iowa
and they were pursuing him, it is be-
lieved, when he crawled into the
woods and died there beside the old
stump, after burying his rich hoard
in the virgin Iowa forest.
Who Will Own It?
"Who will own the treasure trove
| is problem that is veXing lot OF
people now.
"Some claim it will go to my boy
as the finder; others allege it may be
demanded by the heirs OF the man
who disappeared; and still others
claim that j. J. Barborka. the veteran
| jeweler, who owns the building. may
demand it, under the law.
II have also heard it alleged that
the old English treasure trove' law
obtains here, and that. under that
law the United States government OF
the state of Iowa may demand the
coin, aside from fractional part
say 500 or SO. to be awarded to Her
! ert as the finder
Everybody Excited.
In the meantime everybody is eXcit.
ed over the story Of remarkable dis
| play of the rusty pot: age-Old contents
and the stirring story told by the
| Richards. The street has been
| jammed in front of the store by eager
onlookers all day.-Iowa City Press.

Towner, N. D., Oct. 8.-Promotion of
Towner as grain market is the OBJ.
ject sought to be attained by Towner
business men in the organization Of
the Towner Grain company. The plan
of action proposed is that of purchas-
ing grain from the farmers throughout
the district and shipping it for them,
working on the cooperative plan en-
tirely. Towner has suffered in the last
few years through the fact that there
has been strong competition from the
neighboring market points, farmers
declaring that they could market their
grain to better advantage in the other
places.

liberality have demonstrated their
great interest in this noble work.
There is one class I find hard to get

reach them personally as I would like

LAKOTA TO PLAY
HERE SATURDAY

The next opponents to face the To-
cal high school football team will be
the strong Lakota hign school aggre-
cation when these teams meet on the
local field next Saturday afternoon al
2:30.
The game promises to be a good
one, as the Lakota bunch is said to
be fast and the practice received this
week by Coach Wolverton's pets has
resulted in much better team work and
they will put up better article of
ball than on last Saturday.
Elmslies injuries, received during
practice the past week will keep him
out of Saturdays contest, and this will
weaken the team to some extent.
The time is 2:30; the place is the
ball park. Be on hand.
The game with Cando, scheduled 70,
Wednesday AFTERNOON, failed to. ma
terialize, Cando having cancelled the
game at the last minute.

The Devils Lake High school foot.
ball team were returned the winner
in their contest Saturday afternoon
with the team representing the Cando
High school by score of 80 to o aft.
er two quarters of play. The locals
started off with a jump and played
their opponents off their feet in every
department of the game. While the
play showed lack of practice on the
part of both teams, this was especially
noticeable with the visitors, they fail
ing to put up any united resistance
to the onslaugh of the local backs, who
gained at will, either through the lines
or around the end. The locals showed
a much better knowledge Of the game
and proved that they will be strong
contenders for the state championship
when they have received the polish If
the next two weeks practice.
The team averages up pretty we'll in
weight, as high school teams go, and is
fast and heady and any team that de-
feats the local high this season will
have to be of more than high school
calibre. ' 4 s5&}.@ ys5:&.~ r.. ..

Transformation.

Do you recollect how the world went
wrong
Way back in the years gone by:
How the toll was rough and the day was
long
And fortune went oft awry?
It all comes back as a f1rst-rate joke,
And you laugh as you wouldn't have
dared
To laugh on that day when you went
dead broke
And were hungry bit and scared.
At the summers In sultry lands?
And the things we said of the winters
cold
Were enough TO shock all hands
Now we laugh again at our futile fret
Ger the troubles we thought immense.
And we call them "larks," and we'd half
regret
To lack the experience
We are fretful still as we onward strive,
And we think that the present grief
Is one of the sort that must surely thrive,
Secure against times relief.
But the years go on in their ceaseless
grind,
With hours that are gay or glum,
And the plant of today you will often
find
Is the laugh of the days to come.

The Henry Resolution.

The House joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the Constitution which
would move inauguration day forward
from March to the last Thursday in
April contemplates other objects for the
accomplishment Of which there appears
good reason and strong sentiment in
and out Of Congress. However, the main
thing to bring about at the earliest prac-
ticable moment is the change of inaugu-
ration day from an unfit to an appro-
pirate season. 1t would be regrettable
were the change of date proposition to
become confused with other problems
against which might develop enough op-
position to block the change of date
program. 1t is believed that this will
not be the case.
The resolution Of Representative Henry
aims to so amend the Constitution that
it would extend the term Of the President
and Vice President to the last Thursday
in April 1918, and that such date would
thereafter mark the beginning and the
ending of the presidential term. After
that date Congress would meet annually
on the second Tuesday in January.
which date would be the beginning and
the termination of the official term of SEN
ators and representatives. The short ses-
sion Of Congress which would occur imme-
diateiy after the November election upon
the adoption of the proposed amendment
would be eliminated and its term would
expire the second Tuesday In the fol-
lowing January. 1t would change the
fourth day of March to the last Thurs
day in April as the limit of time in
which the House must elect a President
when the duty devolves upon that body.
1t would give to Congress constitutional
power to legisiate as to the succession in
cases where there is vacancy on account
of the death of the President-elect and
Vice President between the counting of
the electoral vote and the Inauguration
AS 1T stands now 1t Is maintained that
should these officials die between the
date of the electoral vote count and the
inauguration there is no authority for
filling the vacancies during the ensuing
four years.
Under the amendment which Mr.. Henry
proposes Congress would continue from
January to January and there would be
no short session. The Congress elected
in November would begin work in the
following January. These propositions
appeal to reason and will probably at
some time be put into execution. But
the simple, single matter to be imme-
diately kept in view is the change Of
date OF Inauguration and now is the &C
cepted time for accomplishing a reform
asked for by millions of Americans and
long striven for by a large number Of
notable Americans.
