The fact that the Austrian emperor,
at the age of eighty-four, has been
able to rally from a severe attack of
diplococcus bronchitis attracts the at

state medical society on the subject.
Doctor William H. Park, the new

Sardis, City of Croesus and Midas

There is a river which flows north
ward, eastward, and northward again,
finding its hazardous way through the
rugged mountains of ancient Lydia
in Asia Minor. Its waters, now scant
and l;mpid, now voluminous and tur-
bid, are poured at length into larger
and more sluggish stream. which, fed
by hundred other snow-born foun-
tains that descend from the almost
perpetually snow-clad mountains on
the south, flows westward, in its turn,
through broad and fruitful plain,
and then through a narrow defile, to
lose itself and its yellow hue at last
in the clear expanse of the Bay of
Smyrna, which at this point represents
the Aegean sea. The smaller river is
the ancient Pactolus-the gold-b bearing
stream of classical legend and song
in which mythical Midas washed to
cleanse himself of the golden touch"
and from which historical Croesus
washed his wealth by the simple pro-
cess known as placer mining. Fer
Croesus was not other than the last
king of the ancient Lydian nation, and
the Pactolus cut in halves the market
place of no less city than Sardis,
his capital. The greater river was
anciently the Hermus. Beside its bank
the armies of Xerxes and of Alex
ander encamped. 1t made of the plain
of Lydia great nations granary
and garden; but it did not appeal to
the poets and the builders of legend
as did its little mountain arm with its
sands of gold. The snow-capped noun
tain was Tmolus to the Greeks. It's

few words, we may place the setting

legends of the ancient Greeks-How-

as an Illustration of the great re-

while at the capital his working day,

John Lind Is One of Lawyers In
Land Fraud Case.

The name of former Gov. John Lind. OF

Mexico. appeared yesterday on a brief
filed in the United States Supreme Court,
asking that a decree for the Federal
Court OF Appeals of California in a suit
brought by the government, cancelling
patents OF land in Oregon for alleged
fraud by the use of dummy entrymen.'
be set aside.
The brief disclosed, that Lind was chief
counsel for the Linn & Lane Timber
Company, and Charles A. Smith. a mil
lionaire banker. of Minneapolis The
company was organized by Smith and he
acquired the land. Investigation by the
government, through Francis J. Heney
and William ]. Burns. resulted in a suit
to oust Smith and his company from
s225,0oo Of Oregon timber land.
The charge against Smith was that he
and his agents had engaged in a con-
spiracy to defraud the United States by
securing the land from dummy entry
men.
The contention of the lawyers in the
brief. Is that Smith had no knowledge of
the conspiracy alleged by the govern
ment. and that Smiths titles to the land
cannot be cancelled because of the opera
tion Of the statute OF limitations.
