Th old man waa supposed to hare had about (10,00 in cash hidden on his premises and it is suspected that each night search ing parties ara at work endeavoring to locals ths wealth which is believed to be burled in th ground or concealed aome wher about th old buildings on th place.

Waald Reiir Greenbsvrka. I am a thorough believer In currency re form and agree with those who wish to sea the greenbacks retired, the sliver with drawn down to the point which it is practi cally subsidiary coinage or currency, leav ing nothing in circulation but gold, as coin or certificates, and a real bank note circu lation by gold reserves with such regula tions for Issue snd redemption that It would be s matter of indifference to the banks whether their credits remained with them as deposits or were circulating as notes. This is the only true solution of our cur rency matters, and I hope to see it soma day accompUahed. This, however. Is a I tiling which can only be gradually done, ! and baa little or no practical bearing oa the present butnrs situation. Ws have another very uiffurent system In force and it ia with it we nave to meet and cope who our prevent problems. It has two vary great advantages. Our people ar used to it snd have had no experience with any other. Only the veterana ln business re member snything different Its greatest advantage la. however. Its absolute safety and soundness. Realise what this has meant In the last year or two and est- cialy in the lat few months. If there bad been li.e aiiglitl doubt or uncertainty In regard to any of our currency, our standard cf value or jut national nnanoee, toe squalls we have thus lar stood so well wouid have developed Into a cyclone that would have swept the whole country, leav ing ruin and dhtaster on every side. It Is a very good system which resists such strains, snd th re is great force la th argument tnat thia is not the tim for any very radical change If ws should now at tempt sny st all. What Is needed now is buitineas sense and good Judgment, not leg islation. We may need currency legislation as as have needed it for years, but it Is not to meet this situation, and there is no nee to delude oura lives with the hope that legislation will help us out of trouble due ta over-expanvion snd speculation. We need sil the reserve money we can get. bat legislation will not produce It. , We must wait (or the accumulation of gold, the enlv real reserve money, it wilt be no real help to make a further large increase In bank note circulation and no on wouid thlr.k of adding to the volume of the green backs.
