"A brief outline OF Dr. owens theory
is substantially as follows: The appara.

different sizes, each producing distinct

mony with. the other six The resultant

the latter in a very short time to vibrate

duced by the bells in this manner are
known as the drone tones. the resultant

1T is claimed by Hiram Maxim ana

. sary to locate certain marks that ia
con is supposed TO have placed on the
masonry of the Cheapstock castle, and
then recorded in the cipher
For months the worl. of locating the
marks went on. and was finally crowned
with success Then began the reai work
Angles were struck. under the ciphers
direction. with the surrounding territory
1t is said that everything worked out,
with the exception of the few feet that
would naturally vary because Of the
change i'm the ground levels in three
hundred years.
At last the exact point was determined
on and eXcava tions began. The digging
can be done only during low tide. just
as the cipher is also said to explain
The first dggings did not bring any
thing to light. Again the angles were
struck surveys made and a new place
determined on as being the one where
the treasured library could be located
Again they failed to find anything and
the old programme was begun all over.
This time they soon met with a de-
gree of success After digging only a
short way into the slime Of the river
they found the cement dam that DR..
Owen said the cipher told him had been
built to turn the waters of the Wye from
their natural course while the vault was
being built. Since then the work has
been going on every day. with results
that seem to be satisfactory. judging by
communications sent by the doctor to
his Detroit friends.
A short while ago his friends in this
country would willingly talk about the
doctors theories. They would tell you
| everything he claimed he would find. NO
one took him very seriously then except
TO believe that there was a cipher. While
they did believe there was a cipher, they
did no, believe that by following it out
| he would find any Of the things pur-
ported 10 be buried. Now they will not
talk about what is expected at all. They

| faces and say: Il told YOU So"
Really we did not expect that the
doctor would meet with any success,

were. of course, assured of the cipher,
because it was all so simple when he
showed it to us that we could not help
but see It. Yet we never for an instant
thought that he would dig up anything
or find the marks on the masonry or any
of the other hundred things that he has
done"

his friends in the United States he would
find. Even confident as he was before
he went to England, he was very much
surprised to discover things just as he
had expected. What these will lead to

that every mark is the basis for the

HIS INTEREST BEGINS.

Now began his interest in Bacon. 1t
was while he was waiting for patients,
as every young physician is obliged to
do. that he found much time on his
hands. Being naturally Of a studious
nature. he took TO reading Shakespeare
TO while away the dull hours.
At first there was nothing Of great in
terest. other than the ordinary benefits
10 be derived from reading the immortal
bards works to attract his attention.
But he soon discovered, after many re-
readings. the evidence Of what he
thought to he a cipher. At that time he
was unfamiliar with the Baconian theo-
ries. except in q cursory way.
For some time he said nothing to any
ono about the matter In the mean time
his practice was increasing. He became
head Of the out-clinic of Harper Hospl-
tai and specialized in nervous diseases.
In this field he became well known, and
nublished many books on his work. dis
Coveries and theories. His reputation
grew. and before long he was counted
as one of the most able physicians in the
Middle States. DR.. owen was called INTO
consultation on many cases of note &c
the medical profession. and was soon
among the most noted physicians in the
country.
All the while every moment or MS
sliarc time was devoted to further
Sbakespearian researches. He used
conv of the First Folio for all his inves-
LEGATIONS. At last he discovered pas
sage in which he insists Bacon said that
one OF the persons Of future genera
ton that would decipher his works and
discover his great secrets was TO bear
the name of owen
This convinced him that he was on
the right track and he showed all MS
friends what he had discovered Be-
fore them he elucidated the code and
method of deciphering. He told them
that Bacon used eighteen ciphers,
showed them the system. and it is said
taught them how to do some of the
work themselves. As a matter of fact.
his medical practice kept him SO busy
that he did not have much time to de-
vote TO the work himself and was Of
ten obliged to let the work rest in his
friends hands.
At one time he employed very capa
ble and bright stenographer, to whom
he confded his secret, and then ap-
pointed her TO work out and decipher
passages and plays. while he went on
10 more important parts. AS fast as
he made discoveries he recorded them,

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every IN
stance, always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that of lady friend
Of mine who, when child, was af-
flicted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disflgure-
ment looked terrible. I told heret get
at once set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly we'll.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be 30 painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her,
/ have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and 1 used the Cuticura ONT
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas 1t was quite stiff before
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May 1 had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edglng right
down in the side of my toe. l cut
the nail out of the cavity 1t made, and
of course applied the Cutlcura ONT
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights It was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago 1 had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. 1 have Just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with tho results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above

Of Interesting News

Smithfield, uJly 21.-One of the
most successful and pleasing at
tempts at entertaining was the Jap
anese party given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Felsted last night complimentary to
Mrs. Burbidge and Miss Beck of Salt
Lake City. Few realize the amount of
time and energy that must be devot-
ed to the work to bring out the re-
suits shown. The house was wired
and green and red lanterns artistically
arranged in crosses on the wires,
aside from the flower decorations of
red roses and sweet peas. The
guests were ushered into rooms and
given seat on the floor truly Jap
anese style.
A musical love story was then
worked out. Archie Beveridge re-
ceived first prize and was given silk
japanese fan. Mrs. Alice Toolson re.
ceived little paper umbrella and
seemed perfectly consoled for her
hard work. A strip OF woodoleum was
stretched on the floor to serve as
table and the following menu was
written in Japanese on dainty TRAN
gular cards tied with green and red
baby ribbon. Noodle soup. tomato and
cucumber salad, rice and raisins. ice
cream and cake. The chopsticks were
the only things to eat with and the
table manners were surely startling.
The following were present: Bishop
and Mrs. Miles and Mesdames George
