Weston Democrat.

The candidacy of Judge w. G. Ben
nett for the gubernatorial nomination Is
not only substantially recognized by
many OF the leading Democratic papers
Of the State, but is meeting with popu-
lar favor generally. His nomination
for this high Office would mean his cleo
ton, which in turn would give to the
people of West Virginia a wise and
emineutly satisfactory administration.
Judge Bennett has a reputation, which
is not confined TO the Eleventh Judicial
District, for thoroughness and efficiency
in the discharge of public trust. He
is able, active and energetic, and would
make a Governor OF whom the Little

A WONDERFUL FIND
COVERED WITH COPPER ARMOR,
The Skeleton Of Prehistoric Chief Had Lain
Til Unear!hsd BY the Searohsrs-Hun-
drsds Of Pearl Beads and
Beautiful Armamsnts.

CHILLICoTHE, O., November 1.-THE
Worlds Fair Survey, under the field
assistants, Warren X. Moorehead and
DR.. II. G. Cresson, located at Anderson
Station, Ross county, made most re-
markable discovery upon Mr.. G. Hope
wells farm. The tumulus is 500 feet
long, 200 feet wide and 2S feet high.
1t lies in the center of group OF
twenty-six mounds, all of which were
opened In September and October with
good results. On account sof its great
size the mound was divided into five sec
tions of forty feet each for convenience
in excavating. In the first cut made in
the east end nothing was found. Near
the surface of the tumulas' second cut
two bowlder outlines resembling pan
theirs were uncovered and meas
ured.
Like the eff1gy mounds in Wisconsin,
they were s5 TO 90 feet long, being COM
posed of one thickness of stone. The
heads, limbs and tails were distinctly
outlined. Near the bottom Of the sec
ond cut were three skeletons with OBJ
jects of copper, bone and shell. North
of this deposit lay the great medicine
man, or chief OF the village, which had
erected the mound.
If the number Of implements is evil
dence of the esteem in which a prehis-
toric man is held by his people, he was
certainly the most important Caique OF
the Scioto Valley. AT his head were
imitation Elk horns, neatly made OF
wood and covered with sheet copper,
rolled into cylindrical form over the
horns.
The antlers were twenty-five inches
high and nineteen inches broad at the
top. They fitted into crown of cop
per, bent TO fit the head from occipital
to the upper jaw. Copper plates were
upon the breast and stomach; also on
the back. The copper preserved the
bones and few Of the sinews.
1t also preserved traces Of cloth SINH
lar to coffee sacking In texture, inter
woven among the threads Of which were
nine hundred beautiful pearl beads,
bear teeth split and cut, hundreds OF
other beads, of both pearl and shell.
Copper spool shaped objects and other
implements covered the remains. A
pipe of granite and a spear-head OF
agate were near the right shoulder.
The pipe was Of very fine workmanship
and highly polished.
The mound is still in process of ex-
animation, two months being yet re-
quired to open it thoroughly.
Mr.. Moorehead stood guard all Sat-
urday night over the find. tits thought
to indicate connection with the Aztec
people, as such headdresses are only
found in Mexico and Yncatan. More
discoveries are anticipated soon.

THEIR DEMANDS CONCEDED.
Four Hundred Indiana Miners Allowed to
Resume Work.

TERRE HAUTE, IND, November IT,
The miners in half dozen bituminous
mines In the State returned to work
yesterday by permission Of the officials
of their State organization.
When the strike began it was with
the understanding that all should re-
main away from work until the increas-
ed scale was granted at all mines.
Within the last week a number Of oper-
ators have signified their willing ness TO
acceed to the miners demands. The
granting Of permission TO the 400 min
ers who went TO work was probably to
check the discomfort Of the men who
have not been hear tily in favor OF the
strike, and to raise money for the relief
fund.
The operators who signed the agree
ment not to pay the increase still re-
