' AX IXLAXI) CAI'TAIX KlDDj YKt'I BURIED TREASURE. (Sidney Telegraph.) Tuesday last Colonel Oberfelder took advantage of tho first balmy day of spring to motor down to his ranch adjoining Lodgcpole. In sauntering about the premises ho overturned a piece of silver metal about tho slzo of a dollar and after a Httlo polishing It revealed tho dato 1821, and somo Spanish words. Ho showed his find to Editor Wolf of tho Lodgopolc Ex press who recalled that about four years ago a man camo Into town nnd stayed around several days walking about tho near country. This stran ger said that in the early days himself and party woro returning from the coast, laden with about seventy-five thousand dollars worth of coins and precious metal. When near tho spot where Lodgepolo has slnco grown, they wero Biirrounded by Indiana and they Immediately buried their treas uro under cover of tho ensuing con fusion. The man had rather posi tive Ideas thaf this treasuro had been burled near n stream which had its source and its final end on about ono section of land. Without doubt tlild was tho famous Spring Creek which arises on tho Olberfolder ranch and on tho same ranch flows Into the Lodgepolo, Its short course traveling over inumerable springs. The strang er abandoned his search in a fow days from want of funds and because of his vagueness regarding tho locality. There aro many chances that If such trcasuro wns really buried near tho place whero Mr. Oberfelder picked up tho coin, It has been scattered and burled far and wide by tho yearly floods which visit that valley, but however this may bo Mr. Oberfelder was sufficiently interested to. employ somo men to prospect to considerable extent for possible treasure. Docs this sound to you like a tale from von Munchhausen? Truth has been stranger than fiction. Sunday School Union Report Tho American Sunday School Union, of which Rov. O. O.

The. stoppage, of Gorman foreign commerce during the, month of Febru ary was far from complete Tho United States received in that month goods to the value of five million dollars from Germany and Austrlk Huugary. This is .only about one-half of the normal imports for such a month. No doubt a considerable quan tity of Gorman goods arrived in ad dition by. way of neutral countries. Tha imports from Italy, for example, are slightly larger than last year, ih dloatlng the possibility that some Ger man commerce slipped through bv that route. Stomach Trouble rTirod. Mrs. II. Q.
