Absinthe in America and buried treasure tale from Helena
A Washington Evening Star report notes absinthe produced in the United States from wormwood oil, with Wisconsin wormwood farms supplying distillers and drug houses as buyers. In Helena a plumber uncovered $18 000 buried treasure under a house at 310 Broadway, receiving only one dollar reward from the claimants. The shah of Persia reportedly holds vast cash in Teheran, estimated at $50 000 000 in specie.
