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.

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.

(fun You Spell?
At Kokomo, Indiana a few days ago
the superintendent of the schools held
a spelling contest. Every person of
tho city wns eligible and six hundred
took the test. Of that number only
fifty-two made a perfect score.
Newspaper men, doctors, lawyers,
merchants, teachers and scholars sub
mitted lists' of twenty words each and
from that total, twenty words wore se
lected. The complete list with the
number of times each word was mis
spelled, follows:. Miscellaneous, 3G4;
calendar, 324; parallel, 273; privilege,
270; superintendent 24S; principle,
242; niece, 223; loso, 201; separate,

ness, 130; relieve, 125; receive, 109;
truly, 85; government. Si; grammar,
79; ' believe, 73.
One woman who made a ptrfect
score had been a- servant for sixty
three years and had had only eight
wooks' schooling.. A county olllcial,
who had been in business all his life,
missed every word. Another man only
got one right. One wonlan, missed all
but three.
Here arc the words arranged in
tho form of two sentences. Hand this
to a friend, ask him to dictate tho
sentence to you, write down tho words
and see how many ycu misspell:
