The Essential Part it Plays i'm the
Existence Of Newspapers.
From the Peoria Transcript

from the Peoria Transcript
Nothing is more frequently heard by
newspaper men. when speaking of ad-
vsrtising to their patrons, than this:
90, people don't read advertisements
if we put them in Now let single
man among them be omitted from an
enumerated list, where they have rea-
son to expect gratuitous mention as
to person or property, and it is amaz-
ing how the editorial sanctum viii be
besiegsd by the disappointed ones thus
emitted. Let US indulge in ever so
slight an exaggeration or error in an
editorial notice, no matter upon whose
authority. and it is refreshing to see
how prompt rival concerns are to en-
tighten us. 1t ought to be an axiom
among all business men that he who
seeks patronage from the public must
keep his name and business before the
public or surely SO under. We could
name a number Of men of integrity
and means who nominally do business
in our city, and who formerly enjoyed
lucrative trade, but who have lapsed
into obscurity, and do not now sell so
many goods per month "a they for
merly did in single day, solely be-
cause they have failed to heed this
self-evident law of trade. Nine tenshs
of our people, if asked, could hardly
tell that such men resided in the city
at all. In spite of the fact that bust
ness in the aggregate has more than
doubled in the last ten years, these men
would almost pursuade US that bust
pess was not what it used to be- This
is true in it's worst sense, with regard
to them. and in its best sense, with
regard to the wide awake portion of
business men. a familiar dodge is:
so, take the paper all the time; l
think you ought to do little of this
for nothing" Mistakea souls. They
forget, or never knew, that the receipts
from the subscription list go but lit
tie way toward defraying the expenses
of newspaper. The New York Tri-
bane, in its palmiest days, claimed ''the
largest circulation of any newspaper,
yet its proprietors never saw the day
when the receipts from sales and sub
scriptions were sufficient to pay for
the white paper upon which their
journal was printed. Its enormous
circulation gave an enormous yet real
value to their advertisers. and they
were able to dictate to the shrewdest
and most spccessful business men of
the country high rates for advertising,
and thus met the outlays on that great
news medium for salaries, kilograms,
ink, and composition:
If people, when they pay the sub
scription price for their paper suppose
they are paying for the full cost of
preparing what they read, and regard
the advertisements as so much clear
gain to the publisher, and matter which
ought in justice to be left out, they
are wofully mistaken. That depart
ment is the very one that makes so
good paper at so lew a price posi-
BILE. IF the advertiser aupposes he is
paying so much bonus to the publish
err, he is equally mistaken. He is
paying what makes it possible to run a
good paper, which will maintain a good
circulation, and thus render his adYer-
Using valuable.

RATTLE HIS BONES!
The Result of Mound Digging
Near Kansas City-SkeletOns
of Gigantic Men I'M
earthed.
Kansas City Times.

The Academy of Science, of this
city, through some of it's most active
members, has recently made some very
interesting discoveries upon the sum-
NIT of the bluffs north of, and about
four miles distant from Kansas City.
AS yet. only one of these mounds has
been opened. Judge West discovered
a skeleton about two weeks ago, and
made a report to other members of
the society. They accompanied him
to the mound, and not far from the
surface excayated, and took out the
remains of two skeletons. The bones
are very large-so large, in fact, that
when compared with an ordinary skel-
eton of modern date, they appear to
have formed part of giant. The
head bones, such as have not fotted
away, are monstrous in size. The low
er jaw of one skeleton is in state of
preservation and is double the size of
the jaw of civilized person. The
teeth in this jaw bone are large and
appear to have been ground down and
worn away by contact with roots and
carniyerous food. The jaw bone in
dicates immense muscular strength.
The thigh bene when compared with
that of an ordinary modern skeleton
looks like that OF horse. The length,
thickness and muscular development
is remarkable. But the most peculiar
part about the skeleton is the bone.
It is very low and differs radically
from any ever seen in this section be-
fore. 1t is narrow but rather heavy
ridge of bone which, instead of eI
tending upwards, as it does now in
these days of civilization, reeeded back
from the eyebrows, forming a fat head,
and thus indicates q very low order
of mankind. It is the opinion of the
scientific gentlemen who are making
these discoveries that these bones are
the remains of prehistoric race of
men. They do not resemble the pres
