A SCIENTISTS DILEMMA.
Are Prehistoric Skeletons Found In Obi

Are Prehistoric Skeletons Found in Ohio
Covered by state Law?
Mr.. W. K. Moorehead who Is connected with
the Smithsonian Institute, seems to have got
ten himself into Q sort Of comic-opers scrape
out in Ohio. Mr.. Mvorehead is a well-known
man of means and for some time past has been
spending his money and time in q fruitful study
Of that grand relic Of prehistoric times on the
Little Miami river which they call Fort An
cient. few weeks ago he made his most re-
markable and valuable discovery-a tomb with
a dozen or more skeletons. And now some
jealous rivals have sprung upon him the Ohio
statute which makes it q penitentiary Offense
for one who without lawful authority willfully
opens the grave or tomb where any corpse has
been deposited"
When the fact was called to the attention Of
Col. Wilson, curator of prehistoric anthropology
at the Smithsonian, he said to a STAR reporter
that he did not think there were any grounds
for a case. IF there were," said he. 1.-THE cor
oner of the District Of Columbia must have
been wofully derelict in his duty in not hold
ing an inquest over the body of the Egyptian
mummy in the museum. And we have num-
Der of sections Of prehistoric humanity that
ought never to have been allowed to come into
the city without y proper death certificate
made out by the attending physician"

But Capt. Psaehy Was Not to Be so Easily
Caught.
He sided up to the desk at the city post
Office, where letters are registered for a con-
sideration. and asked for the superintendent
conversationalist, but his pocket book was
bagging at the knees and he was evidently in
the last throes Of financial atrophy.
My good friend" were the first words he
fired at Capt. Peachy, you once did me favor
and am never forgetful OF my benefactors.
Last New Years day you relieved the impend-
ing tightness in my money market by advanc-
ing me quarter. / ain now come to repay
you"
Capt Peachy responded that, while his chart
table deeds might or might not be too numer-
Gus to remember, he really could not recollect
this particular occurrence.
''Ah, but you did, though; quarter, re-
member. That debt Of honor has been hang
ing over me ever since. Now, cap, L am a
maker Of fancy card baskets, and if you will
supply me with your home address l will be
only too glad to send your wife q specimen OF
my very best work"
He started to 60 with the address written
down and slowed away in one OF his roomy
pockets. But he turned at the head OF the
stairs and came back, as though he had almost
forgotten something.
Say, cap, nv very best baskets are trimmed
with a deal Of fine ribbon. Now, the making
Of the basket shall be labor of love, a slight
return for your good deed, but would take 1t
kindly il you would advance IS cents to get the
necessary ribbon. as am all out just now"
Il would" said Capt. Peachy, ''were it not
for the fact that my wife is a Quaker and will
not allow me to bring a piece of ribbon into
the house. You make a perfectly plain basket
and send it up and wen call it square"
The card receiver has not yet materialiZed,
but the swindle was 30 clever that it almost de-
served to succeed, for the way this same timid
basket maker imposed on the we'll known be-
nevolence of the boys on Newspaper Row last
winter was q caution.

a special to the Chicago Tribune,
rom Bismarck, n. d., gives the
following explanation Of the liquor
situation In that state: The largest
corruption fund ever raised in this
state, excepting that furnished by
tho Louisiana Lottery Company
last winter, is now on hand to secure
the passage of the re.submission bill.
A majority Of the saloon keepers
and liquor dealers in this state have
been assessed, and immense contri-
buttons have been made by the
brewers and whisky dealers Of other
states.
\ crisis has now been reached In
the fight for prohibition in North
Dakota. The state aud the legisla-
ture are about evenly divided In
sentiment on this question, The
constitution adopted in 1889 and the
laws of 1890 established prohibition,
but the enactment was set at def
nnce and liquor has been sold
throughout the state almost rs openly
~ ever, pending the decision In a
test case before the supreme court.
The finding Of that tribunal II
again against the liquor men, but
still they do not give mp the strug-
gle. A very strong element In the
legislature will push re-submission.
The probability IL that the measure
will be defeated.
The latest canvass of both houses
shows n clear majority In favor Of
the present lronclad prohibition law.
The developments may be sensa-
tiOnal as the fight progresses, but
there Is not likely to be any great
scandal, most members being 10
emphatically committed on one
side or the other, that the doodle of
the whisky men will not he used eff
fectually.
