After having been searched for for - six days and almost given up as gone forever, an express package con taining $20,000 has been" found in an iron pot beneath tbe floor of a cellar. The money was stolen from the United States Express Compa ny last Wednesday and 50 detec tives have been employed in trac ing down the crime. . William M urpby, an express meeseuger, has been airested and charged with the crime. Only $200 ' was " missing from the original package. It is thought the thief leared to use the moneyand had buried it, hoping that in time search would be aban doned and he could then unearth the treasure and enjoy jt without danger of detection. , -1 Upper Sandusky, O., May 12.

Fully 1000 will join "the movement to seek freedom on the American continent. -The land secured by us is a beautiful fertile strip known as Santa Rosalie; in the state of Chihuahua, and near Ortiz Station, on the Mexican .Central railway. Already men are at .work there sewing com'. The new comers will be landed at Very Cruz. We would like to bring them to the United States, but the immigration ' laws are to t-trict to allow of that. "We Boers are now practically a people without a home, but we hope to find one in the new coun try. Our success in getting this tract of land was in great jart due to the assistance of President Diaz and Mr. Li man tour, "the minister of Finance." ' Victoria, B. C, May 12. Accord ing to mail advices received.' from South China, hundreds are dying in Kwaug Si Province a3 a result of the famine there, r Correspondents writing from several sections say the destitution, suffering and death is appalling. Whole families are subsietiug on a few ounces, of rice a day, or on roots and leaves. Mis eiouaries are aidicg thousands dai ly. The famine is causing the 're bellion id that province to grow, for the. poor are being driven to .vio lence to obtain food. Women and children are being sold by the fam ine stricken people. ' ' Oregon, City, Or., May 6. The present law of assessment and tax ation and for the collection, of tax--s does not give satisfaction in Clackamas county. Sheriff Shaffer has just about caught tip with the work of receipting for : taxes paid under the rebate plan on tbe 1902 taxroW, and turning the money ov er to the county treasurer. It is urged against the law now in force that sufficient time is not given for the payment of the taxes te- the county. Another objection is the plan of rebate. County Treasurer Cahill insists that the rebate plan is not a good one, aod a benefit on ly to the rich man, . who, be says, can pay bis taxes at any time he desires while it rustles the poor fellow to scrape' together enough' money to pay even one-half of his assessment at a time ' and escape paying penalty andintereet charges. With the operation of the rebate system Mr." Cahill says it costs Clackamas county considerable for the extra clerical help that is re-, quired in tbe sheriff's ' office to re ceipts for the money within the short space of time that the same can be paid and give the taxpayers the advantage of the discount. Jersey City, May ; 13 Henry Nichols, a well-known member of the Jersey City Club, was taken to a hospital on Monday, suffering from blood poisoning, the result of an injury to his right leg: La ter he was informed that . the leg must be amputated. The surgeons found that the action of Mr. Nich olas', heart would not warrant the use of anaesthetics, and he was obliged to submit to the operation without them. After the leg had been amputated below the knee, it was found that gangrene extended above the knee, and that a second operation would be necessary. The leg was then amputated , at the thigh. Not once did the patient lose consciousness. Mr. Joseph Pominville of . Still water, Mian., after having spent over $2,000 with the best doctors for stomach trouble, without relief, was advised by. his druggist, Mr. Alex. Richard, to try a box of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets." He did so, and is a well man today. If trouble with indi gestion, bad taste in the mouth, lack of appetite or constipation, give these tablets a trial, and you are certain to be more'than pleased with the result.

Much Gold in Wrecked Islandec and Colorado A Five Thous- ' and Dollar Fiddle Brings Dead Dogs to Life ,' Other News. Seattle, May 13. Captain Hen ry Finch, in a wrecking s teamer named for himself, started for a Southeastern Alaska, this morning 00 a treasure-hunting vojage that promises to turn out far more prof itable than any recent attempts of the kind. He has on board the most mod ern machinery designed for lifting ' heavy weights from the depths of of the 88, and will make an at tempt to recover the treasure car- ' goes of the sunken ship Colorado and the steamer Islander. - Laden with several i hundred thousandfdollars worth of Klondike gold, the Canadian Pacifr; Naviga tion Company's fine steamer Mad der, while en route from Skagway to Victoria, about two- years ago collided with an iceberg and sank. After numerous attempts had been made to locate the spot where she foundered, Captain Finch lo cated her last winter in 200 feet of water' 12 miles this side of Juneau. Tbe Colorado was wrecked on an island not many miles south of where the Islander lies, a little more than a year ago. She was laden with $15,000 worth of gold concentrates 'from the Treadwell mine on Douglas Island which she k: was taking to a Tacoma smelter. She now lies on the beach, . with, the water barley washing over .her upper works. ' ' Captain Finch intends not only . -to secure the Islander's cargo, but ": to lift the gold ore from the Colo rado and carry it to its original destination. About a dozen expert . wreckers and divers will be em ploded on board the Finch. ' It is ; said that Captain Fincb, who is a diver of 31 years ; experience, is doing the work for an Eoglieh In surance company. New York.

A dispatch to the Tribune from New York says : , Raising an interesting question as 'to when life in auimals actually becomes extinct, Dr. Robert C. Kemp, who has been conducting experiments here for two years, has , found it possible to restore a dog to , life . after its heart had stopped, beating for 16 minutes. After an examination the animal was offici ally pronounced dead, ; yet Dr. Kemp, be massaging his heart so far brought it back to life that it , lived 24 hours, and meantime it was so far restored to its faculties that it ate and drank. In 11 out of 23 experiments of this character, Dr. Kemp has suc ceeded in "restoring dogs to life," and he is convinced that in the case of humun beings under similar con ditions, the proportion of restora tion would be geeater. In the case of the dogs he ascribes their death, after an interval of from two to . three to 24 hours, not to failure of his treatment but to the fact that the dogs could " not be prevented . from tearing away the bandages. Only one such experiment has . been tried on a human being,' and in that case it was not successful
