SKELETONS OF GIANTS.

Hundreds of Skulls Found - Interesting
Discoveries in the Burial Mound at
Carthage, Ill.
CARTHAGE. ILL.,, Sept. 4.-Assisted by
students, Profs. Dysanger, Hall, Seigler
and OHara, of Carthage college, on
Wednesday opened the Sweeney burial
mound on the farm of Cyrus Felt,
northeast of this city. At first COW
ering of stone was encountered, all of
the red limestone variety. Most of
these stones on being removed crumbled
away into sand. Under them were
found immense quantities of bones,
many skulls and several pieces of flint
Some pieces of pottery so badly
decayed and broken as to be
unrecognizable were found also.
Measurements were taken of several
skulls. One measured "a inches across
the parietal bone, another inches.
Three femur bones were found measur-
ing inches in length, some that meas
ured III inches in length and others
measuring from IL to IA inches One

of the femur bone. DR.. Veatch says the

Upon digging few feet farther
down another layer of rocks was dis
covered, and upon removing these sew
eral skeletons, perfect in form, lay all
huddled together as If they had fallen
in battle. Some of the skeletons were
preserved almost entire, although most
of the bones would crumble away
upon being exposed to the air. 1t is
believed that fully 500 corpses were
buried here, as basketful after basket
full of bones were taken out, while the
mound is literally full of them. The
skulls were all filed with peculiarly
soft and very black loan, different
from any of the surrounding earth.

THIS is the first war Chilli has endured
for forty years, and it is war that is
peculiar in more ways than one. Bal
maceda had, on the one hand, all, or
nearly all, the land forces, while the
congressionalists enjoyed the posses
sion of all, or nearly all, the navy.
This naturally kept the opposing forces,
as rule, pretty far apart, and. with
the exception of the battle at Valpa-
raiso, in which the loss of life is report
ed to have been very heavy, the battles
have not been marked with the sacri-
fee of many on either side.

THE LAST ILLNESS.
A Long Fight With Diseas. Patiently and
Heroically Borne.

A Long Fight With Diseas. Patiently and
Heroically Borne.
Ex-senator Mcdonald had been in i'm
paired health for several months. His
malady was an affection of the stomach
and kidneys, which first manifested itself
last winter while he was staying in Wash
ington. During the early part of the
present month his symptoms became
somewhat more serious, but while his
case was regarded as extremely critical by
DR.. o. s. Runnels, the attending physi-
clan, and the patient himself recognized
his condition, hopes were entertained by
his family and friends OF his ultimate re-
covery. 1t was about this time that the
venerable ex-senator, in an interview with
the editor of THE SENTINEL, said: 81 am
a very sick man; and l am prepared to
meet with equanimity the issue of life or
death, whichever it may be. / am greatly
touched by the many expressions of in
terest and sympathy which have come to
me from friends here and elsewhere, and
they may rest assured that these
manifestations of their regard and kindly
feeling are highly appreciated. 1 believe
that have fair chance of recovery, and
so long as there are so many encouraging
indications as now, there is certainly good
reason to hope for favorable result. But
through all the varying experiences of
life have never sought TO deceive myself
as TO its realities and l am hopeful for the
best; am fully prepared for the worst"
These were the expressions OF grand,

death when the end came, but not seeking
it to drown sorrow or disappointment.
Friday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. McDon-
aid were formally admitted to the com
munion of the presbyterian church. The
ceremony was conducted by the Rev.
Joseph A. Milburn, pastor of the Second
presbyterian church OF this city, in the
presence of the immediate family and
the elders of the church, and was most
solemn and impressive. The action OF ex-
Senator Mcdonald was not the result OF
any sudden impulse or any change of be-
lief, but arose from desire on bis part to
formally testify, while in full mental
vigor and comparative physical strength,
to the religious belief he had held through
out his life. Senator Mcdonald was
raised a presbyterian, and during the
greater part of his life was an attend
ant upon the presbyterian church. He
was never obtrusive in the expression of
his religious views, nor did he ever seek
to concial them. They represented an in
tellectual conviction which he held from
boyhood with all the tenacity OF his
strong mind ind rugged personality. The
best evidence OF the sincerity and depth
of this conviction, however, was afforded
by the purity and beauty OF his life.
al have that" said Senator Mcdonald
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1891-06-24

to the Rev. Mr.. Milburn on the day he
was admitted into church" which is better
even than the title OF membership in any
church-a conscience void of ofense."
During all the days OF his illness Sena-
tor McDonald's symptoms were distressing
but his strong constitution. his buoyant
temperament and the moderation and cor
rectness of his early life, were things in
his favor, and gave himself and his friends
reason to hope that the end was not near.
1t was not until a week ago that Senator
McDonald's family and friends began to
despair OF his ultimate recovery, although
DIR. Runnels. his physician, had known
for some time that he could not possibly
recover. When the news began to spread
over the country of the very critical con-
dition of man so deeply revered by all
who knew him, letters and telegrams ex-
pressive of the deepest sympathy and re-
gret began to pour in upon Senator Me-
Donald's family, among those received
being one from President Harrison.
Mr.. James Mcdonald of Attica, a we'll
known gentleman of eighty, arrived in
the city a week ago. His sister Mrs.
Marsh and her daughter Mrs. Shepherd
of Hamilton. o., and Miss Jessie McDon-
aid of Washington, D. c., a granddaugh-
ter, also arrived at that time and were in
constant attendance at the bedside of their
venerable relative. During the last few

saw no one, and beyond giving few direc-
tions to his son relative to his immediate
wishes and desires he said nothing.
About 8 o'clock he fell into state of
painless unconsciousness. from which he
did not emerge until few moments be-
fore the end. DIR. Runnels expressed the
belief that the last few moments were
painful although the senator did not COM
plain. At about Ills the family, con-
sisting of Mrs. Mcdonald, Malcolm Nc
Donald, the eldest son. J. B. Caldwell of
Jefersonville, a son-in-law Of the senator,

A few months before the assembling of
the Chicago convention of 1888 there was
a wide spread demand of the democrats or
Indiana for the nomination of Mr.. Nc
Donald to the presidency. THE SENTINEL,
in an editorial at the time, voiced the
sentiment of the party as follows:
The democrats of Indiana name Joseph Z.
Mcdonald for president. They say he is
worthy and well qualified. They say his states
manship is broad, enlightened and progressive.
They say his public career is without blemish
and that his private life commands the un-
qualified respect of men of ell parties. His
integrity was never questioned. His honesty
OF purpose was never up for debate In any
circle Of honorable men. His position among

attempting no eulogy. We state simple
facts Of the life and character
of a man everywhere regarded as represen-
tative Of the best type Of American character.
Such character is always an interesting study
and never more valuable and interesting than
when, by tho force of circumstances, 10 is
brought into commanding oonspicuousnes In
connection with high official positions. Then
the people become intensely soliotous in re-
gard to the starting point, TO growth aud devel-
opment They love TO read OF the process by
which, from youth to advanced years. this

structed. Was this man in his youth poor?
