A Treasure in KOshkOnong?

Is it possible that tribe of redskins
would sink vast fortune in the form
of a big buckskin bag, full of gold coin,
to the bottom of lake for conceal
ment and then leave it there, never
afterward making any attempt to re-
cover it?
Such is the remarkable story told in
a letter received by the Duluth Herald
from Frank Allen of Iron River, Mich.
He says that according to the tale as it
reached him, the Black Hawk Indians
were paid a large sum of money nearly
fifty years ago by the government;
that in their fear that the money would
fall into the hands of some white ad-
venturers, they tied it up in a buck
skin bag and dropped it into Lake
Koshkonong, Wis, near certain rock,
standing in about seven feet of water;
that they never made any attempt to
recover the money; that in 1868 half
breed came to Lake Koshkonong in
search of the money, and that the half
breed spent days diving around the
rock in search of the hidden treasure,
without success.
Mr.. Allen is looking up the records
of payments to the Indians to see
whether the Black Hawk tribe ever re-
ceived money from the government, as
the half breed said. If they did ne be-
lieves the money is lying at the bottom
of the lake, covered up in the mud, to
this day. Whitewater Register.

LAWRENCE MFG. co.
Has Opened Offices Here and Plans
Starring Work Soon

The Lawrence Mfg. Co., incor-
porated, has opened Offices in the
Smith block with Mr.. W. 5.
Lawrence, the temporary general
manager, in charge.
The plans of the company eare
to begin the erection of It's. plant
on or about the FIRST of 'Decep,bea,
providing the Punta Gorda .citi-
zens by that time have eomplatea
the subscription to the capital
stock in the amount formerly
agreed upon as the inducement to
the company to locate here.
The intention of the company
is to put up a modern machine
shop and foundry, and to manu-
facture the Lawrence improved
stuffing box and lock valve, and
as soon as possible to put in and
operate a marine railways and
ship builing yard.
The company is capitalized in
the sum of $50,000.O0 and aas dis
posed of a considerable number of
shares. 1t is Incorporated under
the laws Of Florida. Every pre-
caution has been taken to comply
with all State laws including the
blue sky law. The board of d.
rectors has been fixed at 8 of
which Punta Gorda will have 3.
The leasing by the city of
suitable cite at the corner of Mes
bit Street and Retta Esplanade,
aud the taking of the amount
of stock.suggested at the board of
trade meeting some weeks ago.
are all that is necessary to war
rant the company IN proceeding
to erect Its plant here. These two
things the city and the citizens
can do, and noiime should be lost
in doing them, as this industry is
without doubt the best PROPOSE
tion which has ever been offered
to the people here.
Of course the company has q
great deal ut stake and it does not
wish to make a blunder in its
cfoice of location. 1t needs the
aid and cooperation Of the citi.
zens in order that its undertaking
may prove a success, and its sue
cess means much to the stockhold
ers, the company, and the citizens
of Punta Gorda generally.

Swordsmen of the Sea.

The swordsmen of the sea are the
sawfishes. spearfishes. sailfishes, sword
fishes and the narwhal. with its spiral
ly twisted straight tusks. Sawfishes
inhabit the warmer seas. while the
narwhal is a creature of the Arctic.
The tusk of the narwhal Is hollow
nearly to the point and is spirally
grooved. 1t uses its tusk as weapon
of defense and to plunge through the
ice to breathe. the narwhal being a
cetacean. Sometimes when boat
has been caught In the ice great dam
age has been inflicted by the inqulsi-
tiveness or laundering of this great
creature, that sometimes reaches
length Of fifteen feet. with tusk OF
from six to ten feet In length. AS a
rule. however, the narwhal uses It's
tusk for the purpose of killing fish for
food. In the castle of Rosenberg the
kings OF Denmark have long possessed
magnificent throne made Of tusks or
this cetacean. These tusks are harder
and whittier than ivory.

Subtle ADVERTISING,

A successful hotel manager pointed
to the advertisement of hotel at a
fashionable resort. The advertisement
read:
Especial rates to single men,"
"The proprietor of that hotel" said
he, deserves to succeed. He lays in
his advertisement subtle trap for
mothers with manageable daughters
They read the advertisement and they
conclude that. given lower rates at this
hotel. single men will be plentiful.
They therefore decide that there is the
place undoubtedly to take their daugh-
ters."
Then. laughing. he concluded:
''These mothers quite correctly be-
lieve that as far as their daughters
chances of matrimony are concerned
the more the marryer. Washington

MAGIC OF A MAGNET.
Makes a Chain Rigid Enough For q
Mar 70 Climb IL

man TO SttHuU We
A Berlin correspondent of the Scien-
tific American describes an interesting
experiment that was made at the works
of one of the large German manufac.
turing firms with one Of their lifting
magnets.
A chain, fastened to the ground and
carrying an iron ball at its free end.
was raised to a vertical position by
the approach OF the great lifting mag
net suspended from crane
The attraction of the magnet was so
strong that the chain remained in a
perfectly vertical position. A grown
up workman climbed up the chain
without disturbing its rigidity In the
least. The chain seemed to float in air.
The magnetic pull on the ball was
greater than the gravitational pull on
the man.
This remarkable experiment shows
the enormous power Of attraction ex-
erted by the lifting magnets that are
used In iron and steel works to carry
about iron material Of every descrip-
ton. The magnets enable the opera
tor to seize iron material at any point
desired and convey 1t to any other
point within the range of the crane
Incidentally the use Of lifting magnets
has greatly diminished the risk of acct
dents In the moving Of heavy masses
of iron.
