Had No Faith in Banks.
Niles, Mich, Dec. 30.——Lawrence Wal-
ters, an aged farmer, residing three
miles north of Wayland, Cass County,
had no faith in banks, and, instead,
placed his savings, consisting of about
2,500 in greenbacks, $4,000 in govern-
ment bonds, notes, mortgages and
other valuable papers, in a tin pan.
This he buried beneath the floor of his
barn some months ago. He has been
in the habit of visiting the hiding place
every day to see if his fortune was safe.
‘When he made the customary visit
yesterday morning he discovered that
robbers had been there, for his fortune
had disappeared. The old man is al-
most crazed over his loss.

The People of Norwalk Are
Vitally Interested.
One Case and There are Others.
There isalarge body of bolters in
Norwalk and vicinity.
The movement has been gaining
force for some time and has become so
. powerful that those interested are anx-
ious to declare themselves. They are
bolting ancient and useless methods of '
treating catarrh and hay -fever,‘aud they
have come out in full force for Califor—
nia Ca’tarrh Cure, because they have.
tried it and know its worth. Here are
words from a Norwalk man who has
tried many medicines and treatments
before he got what. he wanted in Cali-
fornia Qatari-h Cure, the greatest and
only known cure for catarrh.
Mr. Alfred Plats, 9 Maple street, Nor-
walk, says: “I have been a great suf-
ferer from catarrh for over thirty
years, having contracted the disease
during the war. My whole head
seemed full of scabs, and the discharge
from the nose'and‘intozthe throat- was
something awful.
My head ached al—
most continually. and I never got a
good night’s sleep. I procured a bottle
of California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s
drug store, South Norwalk. It. has
given me more relief than I have had
for years; my head is' very much "im-
proved and I can now sleep all night.
It is certainly a great reliever. and I
am glad“ to recommend it. Nothing
among all the things .I tried before
helped me one quarter as much in
months, as C. (3. C. has inafewweeks.”
California Catarrh Cure will do for
all cases when it did for Mr. Flatt; it
breaks up the worst colds, prevents
more colds and cures the worst. forms
of chronic catarrh. '
Sold by all dealers. A bottle for 50c.
Three times as much for $1.
A FLOATING BUSINESS BLOCK.
To be Taken to the Klondike Region in
the Spring. ‘
Err—Immigration Inspector W. R.
Gourley, of New Whatcom, 0re., is ar-
ranging a novel enterprise for use in
the Klondike next spring. He has
purchased the Government schooner
Sits-git and is fitting it up for a floating
business block at Skaguay until the
season opens next year, when the boat
will be taken up to Dawson City.
It is Inspector Gourley’s purpose to
locate his hotel boat opposite the town
of Skaguay and rent the lower part
for business purposes and the upper
part for a hotel of many rooms. it
will be steam-heated throughout. In
the upper apartments rooms have al-
ready been leased for a photograph
gallery, a drug store, barber shop,
butcher shop, barroom, cigar and to—
bacco stand, a physician’s office and a.
bakery. Should the population leave
Skaguay the queer hotel’s proprietor
will hoist sail and move to some other
good locality. In the Klondike region
next year the floating business block
will follow the course of empire and
the bulk of population—Boston Trans—
cript.
The Faithful Got the Money.
An Irishman who died in the early
part of this century, inuone of the'out-
lying parishes of London, undertook to
test the devotion of his friends and ac—
quaintances by making out a list of 400
of them, who were requested by writ-
ten invitation to attend his funeral,
which was held at 7 o’clock one cold
winter morning in the parish church.
Only twenty-nine persons appeared.
When his will was opened it was found
that, having no natural heirs, he order-
ed his fortune to be divided among the
persons who attended his funeral.
A l'rescntiment.
“I know.” said the somewhat irre-
sponsible friend, “that you don’t be-
lieve in signs in the ordinary sense.
But don’t you sometimes find yourself
in circumstances which cause presenti—
n':ents of evil?”
“Yes,” was the reply, “I do. It's one
of those superstitions that can’t be got
rid of. Every time some people ask
me for a loan I feel as if i were going
to lose money."—-Washingzon Star.
oceanic Convulslil‘n.
Barcelona was startled by seeing'the
sea rise and fall three feet at intervals
of ten minutes for ,many hours
on July ' 2. The British war-
ship Surprise broke one of her ca-
bles and left the port in consequence.
A similar phenomenon was observed
in 1.883 at the time of the eruption of
Krakatoa in Sumatra, and the repeti-
tion may be connected with the recent
eruption of the Manon volcanoin the
Philippines. ‘
