AN ILLINOIS MASTODON.
Leg Bones from Five to Seven Inches
in Diameter--- Other Dimensions.

CHESTER, ILL.,, Oct. 9.-Professor A. Fl.
Worthen, the state geologist, from Spring
field, has been here during the past week,
packing the recently-found mastodo.'
bones, and he has taken them to the sta 10
museum at Springfield. He has fur

ing measurements The length of
skull is 3 feet, breadth , feet, thigh bone 8
feet long, bones of the fore leg 2 feet long,
diameter of tusk at base So inches, length of
longest tusk preserved, feet inches Then
there is another trlsk that was attached to the
head, but was broken off three feet from the
head. The shoulder blades are i'm
mense, and measure about 2 feet G
inches across. The leg bones are from
S to z inches in diameter in the cen
ter The specimen is well preserved, but of
course is not complete Some pieces of ribs
and a few bones of the feet were found, but
sufficient of the remains have been found to
construct OF form an estimate of its immense
size. Some idea may be formed by saying
the bones SO far preserved weigh nearly ,0OO
pounds

The Granite Falls Journal complains

The Granite Falls Journal complains
bitterly because the elevators there
knock wheat down to No. 2, on occount
of smut. We are sorry for it, and as
we are not affected in that way in this
vicinity, it may be something of an
impossibility for us to sympathize
with that region, as deeply as we
might under different state of cir
cumstances. Tt looks to US from this
that there was something decayed in
the foreign land of Denmark, for the
reason that wheat which is SO smutty
as to affect the grade at all, would send
it down to No. 3, or be refused. Prob
ably nothing will be said about smut
when the flour is put upon the market.

MINNEAPOLIS AFTER FARMS.

The evident anxiety Of Minneapolis
real estate men to unload some of their
holdings there for farms and other
property in Southwestern Minnesota,
is indicative of one of two things, or
both.-Either these operators see a de-
cline in Minneapolis property and an
advance in land here, Or believe that
the advance in our property is going
to be greater than that in the city.
There was never demand for real es-
tate in the southwest by these opera
tors before, and row they are loading
up with all the farms and business
property down this way they can get.
Window Reporter.
The same is true of Minneapolis real
estate men, merchants, and mill own
ers. purchasing land in this county.
That city must own 100000, acres in
this county, and probably twice this
amount. Aside from General Barrett,
in the northwest part of the county,
Minneapolis parties own the largest
improved, and unimproved farms in
this vicinity. One of the Minneapolis
real estate dealers, has q farm about
two and half miles from Morris, con-
sisting of 1000, acres, for which he
paid $40, 900, all of which is now un-
der cultivation. Some of the farms
here and owned in that city, contain
from three to five thousand acres.
It all looks to us, as if they had more
confidence in the future of the county,
than in the future growth out of that
city.

Tariff Tactics.

A republican senator, who has been closely
watching tho operations connected with tho
metal schedule, says Of the tariff bill: "The
scheme Of the iron interest undoubtedly is
this: That the tariff commission report shall
be adopted as whole, or that no action shall
be taken, as they prefer the present tariff on
iron, notwithstanding it admits cotton ties,
iron rods, and steel blooms under nd valorem
rates, to the bill now reported by the senate
finance committee, or to any bill that is likely
to pass the senate. Therefore, while some of
tho votes of the republicans may be inconsst-
ent as seeming to vote against John Sherman
on his urging still further reductions in the
metal schedule, they are consistent in this,
that they are endcavoring to prevent Sherman
from defeating the bill His only purpose is,
now that he has lost the tariff commission
vote on pig iron, to make such further roduc-
tion in the metal schedule that tho rest of
the protoctionists will come to his relief and
help to restore pig iron when tho bill shall
come back in the senate, or, failing in that
that they will vote against the bill altogether
and thus preserve the tariff as IL is under ex-
isting law. That is Sherman's purpose. The
iron and steel men also wish to have tho tariff
commission plan restored in order that that
monstrous provision which allowed steel
blooms, weighing over 500 pounds to come in
at siX-tenths of q cent per pound, may become
Il law. This was swindling schedule i'll the
tariff commission bill, and this is one Of the
things that the iron men are earnestly en-
deavoring to have restored to the bill"

A Forrcrx md n sInnder.

Washington Sunday Herald, January %. 1883.
The signal corps and its officers have lately
been made the objects of libelous attack in
the form of pretended argument in favor Of
transfer of tho weather service to the Intc-
rior department.. 1t is unfortunate that tho
discussion of the present and future status of
the service should be mixed up with ISLANDERS
evidently invented by malicious persons, for
the weather bureau ought to be placed on n
more substantial and better footing. There
can be no reasonable doubt that in the end,
the corps will be given that place in the war
establishment of tho country that its chief
now seeks for it, and that q fair consideration
of its merits, and of the bill now before con-
gress providing for better organization, will
end in this desired result. Mono ought to
feel more lIeenly the meSddidnco with an anony-
nous slanderer than those who have begun
the agitation of the policy of transferring the
service to the Interior department. The cir
cular to which we have referred is pretended
to be signed by tho United States weather OBJ
servers and in the body of the document we
meteorological observers" arc spoken of.
Thus, in the very outset, the paper is tainted
with fraud, for the weather observers of tho
service had nothing to do with its prepara-
tion, no. did they know of its publication
until they saw IL in the newspapers. 1t fur
ther contains u wholesale slandor on the OBJ
servers by stating thaS they signed paper
protesting against the transfer of tho service
under compulsion, and because they wero
afraid of losing their places.
Starting out as forgery, the paper contin-
ues to be a lie all the way throuth. 1t is
false in stating that the signatures of the men
to tho protest against transfer were sought
by the officers of tho corps, and it is false in
all its statements about the service. Not con-
tent with forging lie the anonymous writer
accuses both military committees of congress
with being tools Of the officers of the signal
corps In fact so wholesale is the SANDER
that the writer overreaches himself and be-
trays his animus.
The truth about the paper from tho enlisted
men Of the corps is that 145 of them signed
statement that the service ought not to be re-
moved from the army. That no coercion was
employed is demonstrated by the fact that ten
men did not sign. After the anonymous cir
cula- referred to appeared 1877 men volun-
tarily signed statements that it was issued
by some unprincipled person, not in any way
connected with the signal corps;" that the
signature, "U. s. Weather Observers" was q
"despicablo forgery" that its statements
wero "untrue;" that it did not represent
our views or opinions;" that, on tho con-
trary, tho allegations of tho circular wero
" ia lsehoods" The forger has, on the whole,
had bad time of it.

A ZIG TALK.
Old Red Cloud Interviews the Secretary or
tho Interior-IIo Wants n New Agent.


tho Interior-Io Wants n New Agent.
The famous Red Cloud had a private coun-
Gil with Secretary Teller yesterday morning
lIo desired remuneration for the horses taken
from his tribe by the army in 1876. The con-
fiscation of these animals he vigorously de-
nounccd rs an outrage, and said that he felt
| it to be incumbent upon him TO demand resti-
tuition.
Commissioner Price, who was present, said
| that he had investigated this particular mat
ter and found that 705 horses had been takcn
from Red Cloud, Red Leaf and their bands,
and that the army had sold them for Si,6Sl.
The whole number of horses taken up to date
is 7,000 and they were sold for $4,000. The
| War department cannot account for the
money thus received. The commissioner sar-
castically said that this was strong nrgu-
ment in favor of transferring tho Indian
bureau to tho War department.
Secretary Teller asked Red Cloud If he did
not get cows for the horses thus taken.
No sill" said the chief; mot q single cow"
| The secretary promised to account for tho
money aud pay it over to the Indians and If
it cannot be accounted for he will recommend
congress to provide tho amount requisite to
reimburse them for their loss.
| Red Cloud then said want new agent.
Mr. McGilicuddy is u bad man. You have
! his history In your office. He tries to turn
my people against me by SANDER, but they do
not heed him. He is quarrelsome, and calls
us bad names. He says we are old women.
He steals our supplies. You do not make him
give vouchers for our goods You take his word
for the supplies, and ho steals from us.
This is wrong and want to sec the Presi-
dent about it. al call my people in council
and advise them TO live like the white people,
in houses. But they have no wagons, teams,
or plows. The treaty said that we should
have these things. Tho treaty is not carried
out. Other Indians fight and scalp, but do
not let my people do those things. l want
justice without blood"
Tho secretary promised TO see the President
and try to arrange meeting with him for
Red Cloud, and the old warrior withdrew.
His charges against Agent McGillicuddy are
not substantiated by facts but there is evil
dcntly some cause for his bitter feeling to-
ward that representative of the government.
