CURIOUS FIND.
A Relic of the Great Rebellion A Soldiers
Skeleton Found in Tennessee Cave.


MURFREEsBoRo, Tenn, Aug. 20
Especial This little city is all torn up
over a series of discoveries that have
set tongues awagging and turned
almost everyone into an explorer. Fri
day last Mr. Quick, OF Winnipeg,
Manitoba, spent an hour walking over
the battlefield when two hunters asked
him to assist them in securing fox
they holed near by. At the spot Mr..
Quick found large aperture, or rather
a cave. They dug into it and almost
the first thing they found was a skele-
ton. Lying next to it was vallse,
almost falling to pieces. In this was
found four gold watches, set of dia-
mond ear rings, two diamond finger
rings, ten sets of silver spoons, hge
silver watches, 1922 in gold, 81 ,S6l in
greenbacks, $303 in Mexican dollars,
and letter written by 5. E, Clenden-
nings, Company X, 19Ch Iowa Volun-
teers, to j. Hawkins, Company e, Fifth
Pennsylvania Cavalry. A number OF
regulation u. 5. buttons were also
picked up. 1t is supposed some wound
ed soldier crawled into the hole and
died before he could get out.
The discovery set scores of persons
on a close search of the battlefield, but
while nothing was found on it, other
discoveries were made in the cave
which, when fully explored, proved to
be really large sink hole. Beneath
the mass of recent earth were found
Union officers sword, two or three
muskets, several revolvers, gold tooth
pick and a locket. In the extreme rear
was petrifed body. 1t was in almost
perfect shape, but nearly black. though
white man. In a small tin
box was lock Of long brown hair and
what was probably a Knot of ribbon.

We are centrally located north and

~Iatlon. and with the completion OF pro-
lected lines OF railroad, will be easily
accessible from all parts OF south Dako-
ka. Even now, there is not q city in the
state more readily reached than ours.
Our hotel accommodations ere good, and
| with the completion of the summer
resort hotel, which is in process of con.
struction, our accommodations in this
direction, an important one, cannot be
~exceiled. On account OF its location
between two beautiful lakes, Madison
and Herman, Madison is becoming Q
fayorite pleasure resort, and we expec,
next summer that your people will enjoy
their vacations here, fishing. hunting
sailing and bathing in cur lakes, in
preference to taxing more extended trips
to Spirit lake and other points, where NJ
greater accommodations are afforded
and where the natural scenery is no
equal to that in the vicinity of our lakes
The new motor line, for the construction
CT which g company lie jest being fern

thus affording eesy and cheap trapsi

this. Manufacturers have to q great ex-

A CHINESE FUNERAL.
An Extraordinary Ceremony Over
the Body of a Dead Chinaman.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 21.-The most
extraordinary Chinese funeral ever seen
In America took place yesterday. The
deceased was Loo Muck, Chinese mer-
chant, who thirty-five years ago founded
Csee Kung Tong Lodge of Free Masons
In this city. Masonry has spread among
the MongOlians till wit appears there
$4,000 members in the state. Delega-
tior came from all parts of the Pacific
coast to attend the funeral. The pro-
ceSsion took an hour and half to pass.
The band of Chinese Masons in long
their hands, with bands of bright blue
ribbons tied across their foreheads and
streaming down their backs, led the
way. Then came company OF several
hundred Chinese in bright blue tunicS
and carrying short broad swords
and highly ornamented shields.
A band of cavalry in red,
green and orange uniforms, with
quiverS OF arrows and long double-edged
swords Slung across their backs fol-
lowed. Then came in long array some
foot soldiers, Spearmen and warriors
with broad battle-aXes, warriors on foot,
mounted carriers riding with short stir
rup feathers, numerous bands of terri
bic Chinese music In hacks, and finally
the hearse, drawn by four black horses.
On top of the hearse was a gorgeous
catafalque of paper and tinsel, in the
Chinese style. The coffin bore upon it's
sides the square and compass with the
letter "G' in the center. The standard
bearer, who preceded the hearse, car
ried the Masonic emblem. The prelim-
mary ceremonies were all Masonic. At
the cemetery, however, the body was
inferred in the orthodox Mongolian
style, the banners and badges of the
mourners being burned in great bon
fire at the gates, while liberal feast of
roast pork, poultry and drinkables of
many kinds was spread before the tomb
for the spirit of the departed to enter
the singular procession imagined it was
the funeral of the leader of the High
binders"
