morning, December A. Schieler is
nephew of George Riebold's, and
during Mr.. Riebold's absence at
Grangeville had entire charge of
the Little Giant mine and premis-
es. There had been bad blood be-
tween Schieler and Wilson for
some time previously. There was
dance in Warrens on the Satur-
day evening, which was attended
by Wilson and wife who stayed all
night at his brother-in-law Brew
er's who works for Riebold and re-
sides just below the Little Giant
mine. On Sunday morning Schiel-
er went down to Brewers and un-
expectedly found Wilson there
Jim Long was also there. Schielel
and Wilson had some conversation
and finally Schieler forbade him to
pass through the Little Giant
premises. Wilson avowed his in
tention of going where he pleased
and threatened to put Schieler's
other eye out if he attempted to
stop him. Shortly after SchieleI
returned to the mine. Pretty soon
Wilson, accompanied by his wife
put i'll an appearance on the RE
bold premises, and when within
thirty feet of the house Schieler fir
ed at him with a Winchester rife
the ball entering the left side OF
the head and smashing the right

inquest was held before justice
Smead as acting coroner. Mrs
Wilson testified that she did not
see the shooting, but that Schielel
Immediately stepped to the door
with the gun in his hand. No 9th

verdict that Wilson came to his
death by gunshot wound fired
from a weapon in the hands o

mitted the killing.
Harry Cone is the deputy sheriff
in the camp and is employed in The

pamphlet, s'The Gospel of Good Roads. :"
The new magazine is to be conducted
on the general plan followed in this
pamphlet. twill illustrate with photo
graphic cuts the good roads and bad
roads of the world, and will tell how
the latter can best be superseded by the
former. The general aim of the maya

the public concerning the advantages of
good roads and streets and the best
methods of constructing and maintain
ing them" Special attention viii be
given to road laws and legislation, and
to supplying farmers and suburban resi-
dents with practical information as to
the best way Of improving existing
roads. The first number is a handsome
publication of fifty pages, containing in
full Mr.. Potter's Gospel" with its
striking illustrations and much other
valuable matter. The price is twenty
cents copy, two dollars a year, and the
address is Good Roads, Potter building,

Set these people in the full light OF
all that has been discovered about their

that they were distinct from che Indians

have been so far above that of the In

grasp the spirit of it. Even the tradi-
ton of it had been lost to the tribes
who occupied the valleys of the Ohio

Hints on Roadmaking.

The gravelly places in the roads are
full of instruction to the road builders.
They are hard, dry and compact. That
isolated stones viii sink into the soil by
their own weight has always been well
known. Every bit Of soil that is per-
mitted to intrude itself between the
stones of road is a divider that is de-
structive to good results. A fattened
ellipse is the best shape for the founda-
ton Of durable road; but sand and
gravel without any suggestion of loan
makes the best roadbed.
The pez1nanence Of road depends
upon the care which is taken in making
the bed. Broken stone is liable to be
rolled about by heavy teams until the
rough edges are worn off, producing dust
and mud, and the road is soon full OF
ruts and holes. A road made OF six
ounce or egg sized stones alone will be
loose and rough. There should be small
stones mixed in with them. They should
be carefully spread widely over the road
so as to give uniformity. Our system at
the present time is to have the tops OF
our roads porous to let in the water, and
a loan bed into which the stone and
gravel sinks. But this is an improve
ment over the past, and we may hope
for better methods in the fntnre.-Ad-
dress by j. b. Olcott.

HcrS, SUPPOSED 70 EepreSenbfanInefs-
auautity demonstrating the existence
IA former times Of teeming aboriginal
population IN the valleys of this state.
Mr.. Morehead spent several months
last summer and fall digging in and
auournd Fort Ancient, that stupendous
ezrHhwork in Warren county, O., the
most extensive of its character on this
continent, il not indeed in the world.
The results OF his quest were fully set
Forth in letter in this correspondence
at the time. Having exhausted the sub
iect there SO far as he had reason to ex-
pect to add any new thing to his coli
lection and information, he took his
party to the Hopewell farm, near Chill
licothe, in Ross county. Here in a
mound that stood on the site of a pre-
historic city were found things that are
archaeological treasures both in their
novelty and in adding to the light that
has been thrown upon this misty sub
ject by pick and pen.
The laborers had not progressed far
with the removal of the earth compos-
ing the mound, when they came upon
succession Of powders which attracted
attention from their peculiar position,
as though they had been placed in full
fillment Of a purpose. Archaeological
digging is always done slowly and care
fully, and in this case the powders
were all laid bare without removing
from their positions. They were found
to be the outline representations of two
panthers, one eighty-ive and the other

ninety feet long. Some of the powders
wero missing, but the heads, limbs and
tails were intact.
Not far below these the workmen
came upon several relics which in pre-
vious excavations betokened the prox-
unity of a human sepulcher. The an
ticipation was fulfilled. Still below,
resting upon the prepared ground that
made the base of the mound was the
skeleton of man, surrounded with
sheets of copper to protect it from the
earth. Usually the inclosure of the
skeleton has been stones, SO there was
reason to expect they were coming upon
the remains of man Of distinction. II
the number OF implements found with
q skeleton is evidence of the esteem in
which prehistoric man was held by
his people, this was certainly one OF
the most important caicques in the
Scioto valley. The skeleton rested upon
copper plates, and other sheets of cop
per we're set about and rested upon the
stomach and heart and knees.
The copper had aided the preserva-
ton of the bones, and some of the sin
ews even have not yet decayed. There
were also preserved traces of cloth,
similar to coffee saclzing in texture in
terwoven among the threads Of which
were OYER thousand pearl bsads, bear
teeth, split and cut, and other trinlzets
Of crystal and she'll. Copper spool
shaped objects and various implements
covered the remains. A pipe of granite
and a spear head of agate were near the
right shoulder, the pipe highly polished
and q fine piece of workmanship. At
the head was a copper cap or crown,
that had been on the head of the corpse
when buried, for it CONFERENCE.-The skull

rolled into cylindrical form over the
prongs. The antlers were twenty-five
inches high and nineteen inches broad
at the top. This was thought to indi-
cate some connection with the Aztecs
of ancient Mexico and Central America,
as such headdresses have been found
among the ruins of those countries.
In another excavation were found
FIVE skeletons side by side upon q floor
of copper sheets and cased about. The
copper pieces had been worked into one
hundred and five forms, representing
axes and plates and other objects.
There were sixty-six copper 'scelts,"
prehistoric implements usually made of
flint or shells, and they ranged from
one and half to twenty-five inches
long.
In the mound where was found the
crowned skeleton was also discovered
curious and wonderful relic, the first
of the kind uncovered on this continent.

convinced, it constitutes the first au-

NEW York, March 31.-Pretty little
lies, vest fronts, ruffies and bows are SO
very useful as means Of adding dressy
effects to plain or passee gowns that it
is well for young and old ladies to know
how to make them and what of, for
there are few ladies who do not have
bits of lace, ribbon or some other deli
cate and fimsy material that would
make or trim one of these dainty little
trifes. And they are very costly when
bought in the stores and cost little if
made at home.
A pretty fancy is a necklet for a
young lady for wearing with low or
high necked bodice. It needs five
eighths of yard Of white ribbon one
inch wide, on which are set alternate
pale pink and white rosettes, or any
