Salvation Army Founder Is Dead.

The Rev. William Booth, general
commander in chief of the Salvation
Army, died in London Tuesday night
He was born at Nottingham in 1929.
The veteran Salvation Army leader
was unconscious Tor forty eight hours
previous to his death. The medical
bulletins had not revealed the serious
ness of the generals condition which
for week, it is now admitted, was
hopeless f..
Twelve weeks ago General Booth un-
derwent an operation for the removal
of cataract in his left eye. For two
days after the operation indications
justified the hope of his recovery. Then
septic poisoning set in and from that
time, with the exception of occasional
rallies the patients health steadily de-
cliued The general realized that the
end was near and often spoke of his
work as being finished.
Where General Booth will be buried
has not yet been decided. While every
English member of the Salvation Army
Is convinced that no man was more
worthy of interment in Westminster
Abbey, it is not expected that this
honor will be awarded to, General Booth
by the Abbey authorities. 1t is the
general belief that the commander in
cheif's last resting place will be along
side that of his wife, who twenty-one
years ago was buried in Abney park,
Stoke Nottington.

Sen. w. s. Kenyon, republican can
didate for the United States senate is
out in statement that he will support
the entire republican ticket. He has
written lengthy letter to the Hon. F.
Larrahee, of Fit. Dodge in which he
clearly defines his position. He says:
Il am republican and am supporting
the entire republican ticket. That
ought to be clear enough"
His statement is sensible and logical
Kenyon is good man and uses the
good common sense that the Creator
has endowed him with. No republican
in Iowa has any cause for complaint.
Every republican in the state should

siye State Convention, and a member
of the Committee on resolutions of
the National Progressive Convention
at Chicago was lately interviewed on
the political situation in this state.
AS part of such interview appear
ed the following reference personal
to himself:
Yes, have noticed some foolish
talk in the newspapers suggesting me
as candidate of the progressiyes for
the Office Of governor. No further
answer to this is necessary than to
say that have been actively oppos-
ed third party state ticket since the
agitation for it began; that am Just
as much opposed to such action now
and shall remain opposed to the last.
Il am enthusiastically for the cleo
ton of Geo. w. Clarke, knowing his
worth as a public official as do, af-
ter twelve years of intimate associa-
ton with him in the public affairs
of the state of Iowa.
"Mr. Clarke possesses exactly the
qualities of mind and heart that I
consider essential in the executive
of great state and evil influence
will find that he has all the back
bone necessary to deal with their
cases. To my mind he is an ideal
candidate"

TELLS OF TREASURE CACHE
Colorado Prospector Says He Found
 Yaluables Buried by Spaniards

salida (col) Dispatch to the New York
 Times.
 Thomas Summers. a prospector, Who has long roamed the Rocky mountains In search of a bonanza, declares that he has located a cache of treasure left by Spaniards who were in this region more than 200 years ago. All he needs, hee says, Is money enough to purchase the land on which the vaiuables are buried. He has not been able to get this yet, be- cause people here who have money are not satisfied that such an investment would be worth while.
 It Is a well known tradition among prospectors, however, that such treas ure was buried somewhere in the vicinity of Salida. How this tradition started mo- body seems to know. but 1t is said to have been carried from Mexico, and In- dians are said to have furnished corrob- oratiye details. Many prospectors have spent months at time trying to find the gold and jewels reported to be in the cache.
 Summers has told some of those to whom he has appealed for money that he had been engaged for two years in trying to solve the mystery, and that finally he had come across records of the Span ish wanderers, and chart that showed the location of the cache On this chart, which he has shown guardedly, is Span lsh inscription which says Measurement

 Summers has also shown a picture of a woman face carved In rock It is not very beautiful. He says he found this memento of the Spanish expedition on Mount Princeton, fl miles northwest of Salida He asserts that he made certain of the measurements shown on the charts, but feared to dig up the treasure be- cause it might have been taken away from him by the owners of the land on which it was buried. So he then set out to get capital to buy the land before the owner could discover his object.
