THE SOLDIERS OF souDAN.
They Are Very lmpetuous and Require
Bold Officer to Handle Them.

They Are Very lmpetuous and Require q
Bold Officer to Handle Them.
Contemporary Review.l
The Soudauese troops are vastly interest
ing. The jet-black creatures, resembling
amiable gorillas in face, of all heights and
only one thickness, narrow hipped, thin
chested, with no backs to their heads and
no calves to their legs, are liked and trusted
by their officers to remarkable extent.
There is little of the red Indian in them;
they would not fire into sandhill or stand
still to be cut down.
The Dervish is their oppressor and natural
enemy, and they only desire the oppor-
tunity to 'get at him" at as close quarters
as possible. They are children in their
love of decoration and their whims and
their devotion to their officers. They are
savage in their dislike of discipline and
their passionate impatience of restraint on
the battlefield.
For this reason-to keep them back-they
have more English officers to q battalion
than Egyptian troops They detest drill
and blank cartridge. They are enthusiastic
over every rumor of approaching fight.
I was told delightful story of one recent
action In winch they TOOK prominent part.
The enemy was under cover not far off; but
the firing line of blacks were blazing away
at him as fast as they could open and close
up their rifles In vain their officers tried to
stop them. The waste of ammunition
threatened to become extremely serious, and
their commanding officer. Scotchman who
had seen many fights with them, losing his
temper, rode up and down behind the line,
cursing them with every abusive epithet in
a fairly adequate vocabulary of Arabic in
vectire. But entirely without effect.
At last one of them happened to turn,
and discovered the beloved Bey in evident
ly very excited state of mind. He at
once rose, ian back to him, and, patting
him reassuringly on the boot, he said:
"Don't be frightened, Bey. It's all
right. We're here; we'll take care of
your
The Scotch Bey, however, was equal to
the occasion. He rode out through the line,
and walked his horse up and down in front
of the rifles. "Now," he said, 'if you must
fire, fire at me-" After this it is not sur
prising to read in dispatches that this officer
has twice recently had his horse sho. under
him.

ALLEGHENY's BOND ISSUE.

Resolution for q Special Election to Be Pre-
sented Next Thursday.

citizens of Allegheny the letters asking for
expressions of opinion on the proposed
issuance of bonds for public improvements.
He wishes to mail all of them at once, and
is. having them addressed as rapidly as
possible.
At the meeting of Allegheny Councils
next Thursday evening resolution Will
probably be introduced ordering the SUBJ
mission of the question to the vote of the
people, at a special election. Mayor Ken
nedy thinks this election should be held
later than the Presidential election and prior
to the municipal primaries in the early par.
of the new year. He does not wish to have
the issue obscured by any other question.
The Mayor will be glad to explain the
proposition to any citizen who desires to
secure information.

AN INDIAN MOUND OPENED,
Human Skulls Exhumed Upon an Illinois
Farm-A Number of Curiosities Also
Discovered.

Human Skulls Exhumed Upon an Illinois
Farm-i Number of Curiosities Also
Discovered.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, July 15.-All the
time of the people of the State of Illinois is
not put in talking politics Business is
dull around the country stores, and various
plans and expedients are employed to
pass the time. Over at Macomb, in Nc
Donough county, the gossip runs in the
way of some remarkable finds of Farmer
Morris Chase. His farm is stu
ated about mile west of Ma
comb, and is dotted with several
curious shaped mounds which have excited
the curiosity of the neighbors for genera
tions. A week or two ago, while the
ground was toe wet to pillow, Mr. Chase
made up his mind to investigate the mys-
terry of the mounds. He selected the larg-
est one on top of a hill for the first expert
ment. The hill is little plateau and
slopes gracefully to the highway, probably
300 feet below. The mound was about 80
feet in circumference and was originally
smaller, but repeated plowings smoothed
The soil is different from that
on the sides of the hill, being
much darker and mixed with fine
gravel. After digging into the mound
to a depth of about Is inches a layer of
mussel shells was found The shells had
evidently been hauled three quarters of a
mile-from the creek-and, while they
were arranged in irregular rows, it was i'm
possible to distinguish any figure or form
that might possibly have been constructed
by them The dirt on top had evidently
been the accumulation of years Beneath
the shells we're disclosed bones and broken
pottery. The bones were those of
deer and included one piece of
antler six inches long. The pottery was
black and a quarter of an inch thick. Many
as all the rocks had been burned the sup
position is that it was the site of an Indian
potter's kiln. In another mound at
depth of 20 inches an amount of clay burned
to bright red was found. Under this was
a layer of earth, with which was mixed the
dust OF human bones and pieces of human
skulls. This had evidently been the
burial place of an Indian warrior of
some note. A few feet from these
remnants of humanity was discovered
small kiln or large oven. Beneath thick
layers of burnt clay were sticks of charcoal
The clay was bright red in color, and con-
tanned little fine sand. Mr. Chase found
a number of arrow and spear heads, stone
hominy hammer and other Indian curios
There is no doubt that the hill was once the
site of a prosperous Indian village, prob
ably of the Peoria or Illinois tribe, for
they laid claim to that section of Illinois
century ago. 1t is said there are other
mounds in McDonough and Warren coun-
ties, and that none of them have been
examined, except those on the farm of Mr..
Chase

Properties of Ltnseed Oil.

The value of linseed oil on woods is the
fact that, in drying, it has all the properties
of a cement and also a varnish. 1t unites
the coloring matters in a homogeneous

nothing else will impart No other oil will
do this, at least in an equal degree, and
