unearthing Indian Remains.

A short time ago an Otto citizen found
some charred earth while digging post
holes in mound near his farm. With the
assistance Of friend he dug into the
mound about four feet, at which depth
were found Indian remains i'll abundance.
The bones had been subjected to fire, for
they were partially charred Several quite
large pieces were taken out, which had to-
be handled very careful ly on account OF
their brittle condition. There has been
much hard work done digging into the va
rlous mounds in that vicinity, but very few
indications were found Of departed Indians
until this discovery.

Controlling Old Wash-Awav.

The Missouri river commission has SUBJ
mted its estimates for further improve
men,s of the river and protection of its
banks. After giving in detail the work
already done and estimates of appropria-
tons required at the different points along
the river. the commission touched upon
the action of congress in the act of 1883,
practically rejecting it's plan of improve
ment. 1t states that the primary object
Of the appropriations vas understood to be
the desire to benefit navigation and not to
protect private or municipal property from
the ravages OF the river, although if the
latter could be done incidentally, SO much
the better. The systematic improvement
Of navigation involves the Lol ing of the
river in fixed channel, and thus,
when completed, protecting ad-
iaecrt property. But this improve
ment requires many millions of
money and many years of time. Property
owners are not content to walt and clamor
for protection, and it Is Impossible to
meet all their demand, without scattering
funds SO as to make them everywhere in
adequate. The river can be contro. led on
ly by continuous improvement, and funds
spent in perfecting certain points cannot
be considered as applied to the benefit of
navigation. An indefinite number OF mill
lions Of dollars could be expended in that
way without appreciate benefit to naviga-
ton. and its object caunor possibly sue
ceed ii carried on under terms of the act
OF August LIST, 1858.
In preparing estimates the commission
has kept separate the two different inter-
eStS. These estimates are:

A Prominent Iowan Killed BY Accident
Hon. Lyman F. Wisner and his son, of
e dora, were out hunting prairie chickens
near Owasa few days since. His son
was in the buggy and his father was trying
to put the dog in. He was having some
trouble and George attempted to assist
him, ank in doing SO his gun caught and
was discharged, the full charge striking
his father in the forehead. He threw up
his hands and fell back and was dead with
out even CULVER. The deceased was a
Hardin county pioneer. He was born in
Orange county New York, in 1882. He
was reared on his fathers farm, but at a
very early period in life began business
for himself. After spending short time
in Illinois i'll 1856 he located in Hardin
county, where he has since continued to
reside. He came to the country poor
man. but energy, strength and determin-
ed will gave HIM success, AMI tor many
years he has been recognized as the wealth
lest man in the county, and was we'll and
favorably known in the financial and COM
mercial circles throughout the northwest.

Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1889-09-12

Capt. John Gunner. in his further
discussion of the New York police force
in Medical Classics for August, says
that the blow of a policeman's club
usually produces confusion, especially
when applied, as it generally is, to the
body. In fact, he goes on to say, for
the purpose of disabling an opponent, a
blow in the ribs is one of the most eff
cacious. 1t gives the recipient a sense
of "goneness" in his inside, that takes
up his entire attention for few min
utes to the exclusion of all desire to in
fiict bodily harm on the myrmidons of
the law. Even after he RECEIVERS his
breath he is more inclined to use it in
denouncing police brutality, than to
make any further personal experiments
in that direction.
If the blow falls on the head a con-
fused wound may be produced. This,
if severe, is sometimes accompanied by
quite copious hemorrhage, giving the
wound CHASTITY and sickening aspect.
Sometimes, if the stroke is given with
great force, the wound may be not only
confused, but also lacerate. This is
about as much damage as the locust, or
even the ebony or rosewood, is capable
Of inficting; still when the weapon is
swung with the full force of a powerful
man excited by hand-to-hand fighting,
or desperately defending himself
against several armed assailants, skull
is sometimes fractured. A case of this
kind is, at times, peculiarly dangerous,
as the following incident will show:
A man was brought to the station
house apparently with nothing worse
under his hat than a brick. There
was no external appearance of any
wound. He was partially unconscious,
but revived sufficiently to give his name
and address, and was put into q cell.
In the morning he was taken to court,
paid his fine, and was released. He
was about the streets for several days,
but, finally, was obliged to take to his
bed and send for aphysician, on account
of trouble with his head. A close ex-
animation then, for the first time, re-
vealed the fact that his skull was frac-
tured. In spite of the doctors efforts,
the man died.
This is, of course, very unusual case,
but it shows how great should be the
care of the surgeon in examining what
may seem to be slight wound, or no
wound whatever, provided he knows
that the blow has been struck. In the
above case the fracture was not felt I'M
til Inflammation had set in around it,
and emulation had caused a pressure on
the brain. This does not generally oc-
cur until twenty-four hours have
elapsed, and, as in the above case, it
may not be felt for forty-eight hours or
more. 1t is dangerous to neglect even
ordinary confused wounds, erysipelas
being liable to set in.

Lovely Woman's Eye.

Have you ever noticed" said con-
ductor on West End street car to the
writer" show women eye women as
they get on the cars? They seem to
take notice of every article of dress, the
shape Of the bonnet and the style of the
hair, in one sharp glance. I've seen it
constantly on my car. They all do it,
young and old, and it's done in such
supercilious manner, as if envy was the
cause. Now, think its a very often
sire manifestation of bad breeding, and
l don't think any kind-hesrted woman
would indulge in it.
We'll, does the eying, as you call it,
continue long?"
"Oh, no; its done in an instant. The
car stops and lady gets on or off, and
Immediately every woman's eye is
turned in that direction, and in one
sweep every detail is taken in, often
with derisive smile or a curl Of the lip.
am sure few people who travel, and
are observing, can have failed to
notice this peculiar feature of woman's
treatment of women. 1t is especially
seen when the newcomer happens to be
stylishly dressed, or is remarkable for
any beauty of face or ugliness of form,
and is done in a very marked manner
when shabbily dressed women is in
question; then Won will see a grim
smile and shrug of the shoulders as
the eveing is done"
@Don't you imagine its done else
where than on the cars.
Lord, yes. / am told it's done by
women as they pass each other on the
street, and by all conditions of women,
who cover each other from head-gear to
shoestring,"
Haven't you seen it in men?"
well, not so much. At least, I
think its peculiarly a feminine weak
ness
