BURIED TREASURE FOUND.
Mysterious Note Leads to Discovery
of VIII in Old Churn.

The death last winter and search
for buried treasure on the property
of A. j. LITTER, of Bedford, Iowa,
has just developed another exciting
incident.
Some one mysteriously placed a
note on the porch of the home of A.
j. Evans, directing his attention to
brick in the hedge along the Litteer
place. Other writing in the note re-
suited in a renewed digging for a
supposedly lost churn, resulting in
its being found.
In the churn was found document
dated Oct. 6, 1910, supposedly sign
ed by A. j. LITTER and wife. The
document directed that the Litteer
land-about 400 acres-now in con-
troversy, go to Ernest Lewis.
1t was further stated that $751;
600 in cash in a box should go to
Randolph Widner and the Kansas
land to Henry Lewis.
There also was found bottle in
the hedge near the brick, containing
more papers of mysterious nature
On the back of an old redemption
certificate was the following:
Bedford, Oct 30.-Whoever finds
this go thirty steps north and dig
for will straight east of persimmon
tree, then take inside jar to court
house before it is opened. A. j.
Litteer." Digging for this jar has
not revealed it.

THE CAsrALIA CoRNET BAND.
Organized in 1911 it has a Member
ship of 10 Good Musicians.

Castalia has a cornet band of ff-
teen members which was organized
in December, 1911, and a great deal
of credit for it's organization belongs
to Mr. Edward Wirsching, formerly
of Ossian, who spared no time in his
efforts in establishing band in our
sister city on the east. Since its or
ganization it has made wonderful
progress and today the members
need not be afraid to play anywhere.
The director, Rev. A. E. Guetzlaff,
who himself plays solo b-fiat cornet,
is musician of considerable ability.
He has kept the members in line,
spent a great deal of time in instruc-
ting them, and finally has progressed
to where they play some very CLASH
cal music. One lady, Mrs. Fl. L.
Meyer, is a member of the band, who
with the minister-director, manage
to make band practice a pleasure.
The presence of lady and minist-
er have a wholesome influence on
any organization, and we dare say
thae when the Castalia band holds
its rehearsels the atmosphere in the
room is pure, wholesome and moral,
as it should be, and when these con-
ditions exist it is much easier and
better for the members to rehearse
their music.
During the summer months the
band gives open air concerts on the
streets of Castaia, which are much
appreciated. Considering that all
the members, with the exception of
few, were new beginners, Castalia
has a band she can well feel proud
of.
The members of the band and the
Instrumentation are as follows:-
Mrs. II. l.. Meyer, solo b-hat cor
net.
Rev. A. E. Guetzloff, solo b-fat
cornet.
Ed Wirsching, solo b-flat cornet.
H. l.. Meyer, first b-fiat cornet.
Bert Harvey, second b-flat cor
net.
w. L. Richards, baritone.
Lester Meyer, trombone.
Ernest Allen, trombone.
Chas. Nuenswander, tenor
Geo. Nuenswander, efat bass.
Fred Baltz, first efat alto.
Claude VIM, second e1at alto. -.
Earl Haefner, third efat alto.
Geo. Bachelor snare drum.
Geo. Barnhart, bass drum.

SUNDAY CAUGHT A TARTAR.
Nine. Schumann Heink Rebukes Ev.
angelist When He Stopped Over.

Mount Vernon people and especial
ly those who attended last Friday
evenings concert of the May Music
festival were undoubtedly particu-
larly interested in the news which
appeared in the daily press of about
the same time, which told of Rev.
Billy Sunday, the evangelist, being
rebuked in manner that must have
warmed the hearts of mothers in
particular for disrespectful refer
ence to noted singers in their atti-
tude as mothers. In a recent SER
mon by the baseball evangelist he
declared that, "Melba, Calve, Eames,
and Schumann-Heink are cheap
skates as compared with mothers.
The noted singer made reply by say
ing: What does he know of the
message of music? l am preaching
my message too. 1t is the song in
my throat. i sing to prisoners, to
school children / go into jails, l
grasp murderers by the hand. |
leave my concerts and sing to dying
criminals the Rosary, Hedge Night,
because they want to die with the
strains in their ears. This evangel-
list breaches religion, but did Christ
hurt and malign people to exalt his
own reputation? He taught love.
Never in all his ministry did he hurt
any one. He died that others might
not be hurt. Never did he attack
even his bitterest enemies" Mr..
Sunday was forced to make a public
and private apology to the great sim
ger. She is the mother of eight
children who she declares have been
her inspiration. Her resentment of
the brutal and senseless attack
has the approval of all right think
ing people.

Italians Clean Up Dandelions.

Some Italians were in Sigourney
last week and now the city is as free
from dandelions as it is from water
lilies. The Milwaukee railway has
a big gang of Italians working al
Sigourney and the fellows dig up the
plants by the basketful, carry them
to their car where they sugar them
down in a barrel, making them into
a fairly good quality of wine. They
have cleaned the city of the plant
and are now making raids on the
country roads.
