A sculptor's story.

Prof. Herman Lindenberg, the Berlin
sculptor, who is visiting this city, says the
st. Louis Republic IS not IN the least super
stitious but he relates an incident IN his ex-
perlence that, had he not investigated IT,.
would have made hiIq trm believer in the
supernatural
III happened In this way said the profess
sor Il owned a shop In Berlin some ten
years ago where / made specially OF church
work and employed about nifty wOrkmen.
The Catholic church was about to give some
sort OF an entertainment, and before the ex-
act date was announced the church sent me

my place OF business when IL arrived, but It
was placed on the slab ready for the work

1t was not my usual custom to visit my
shop at night but on that particular evening

so 1 went to the house. When l opened the
front door saw the Dust on the slaO, and, ;

MAMMOTH HORSES AND MONSTER BIRDS.
Another skeleton resembles that Of a
horse, but from it's size it would seem inn
possible that it could live If constituted
as our present horses are and II is
evident that it would be of no use to man
at present as it would be necessary to
use "a ladder to harness or get on its back,
and if there was a tariff on lumber, II
would be utterly out Of the question TO
provide stabling for it, There are also
many species Of birds TO be found in the
cave, but they are five or six times larger
than the ostrich. The bones Of the
wing would indicate their width, includ-
ing the feathers, TO be about twenty
three feet. There are also a mum Der of
extinct species Of reptiles and fishes,
which are 50 large that il is impossible 70
conceive how they were able to move
about
The most interesting discovery is that
Of the skeleton Of man, as it is said find
ing these skeletons with the bones OF ami
mails that undoubtedly have become eX-
tint for thousands and thousands Of
wears leads many TO believe that they
must be skeletons Of prehistoric man.
The skeletons resemble those OF the
present man very much and none but an
experienced eye could detect the differ
ence. There are many augurs predicting
how, when and for what purpose these
animals came together in this cave.
There are various and curious opinions,
but the most general aud perhaps feast
bic one is that before this country was
inundated by the ocean all these animals
congregated in this cave 10 protect them
selves from the water and were drowned.

tied this land at the time when these

the walls II is supposed that they were
made 10 inclose large tracts Of land, and
that they were used by the inhabitants
at that time as place Of refuge from
the enemy In the time OF danger. Ihis

Chadron, Neb, Aug. 13.-Much excite
ment has been created by the discovery
of a great cave about ten miles from this
city in what is called the bad lands. 4"
This cave contains prehistoric remains Of
petrifactions, the most valuable ever
found, which 90 to establish the fact that

The discoverer Of the cave is Prof. w.
Don Freizeuholtz, who is travelling
through the United States in the interest
Of a European institute Of zoology. When
seen by your correspondent Herr Freizen-
holtz was reticent about giving any in

covery 1t was learned that he con
suited some Of the legal fraternity Of the
city in regard TO the proper procedure to
acquire title 10 the land upon which the
cave was discovered lie left for the
east last night, presumably on his way to
Washington city, where he will make an
effort TO enter the land as curiosity
claim or geological claim" Attorneys
here who are thoroughly familiar with
the government land laws say there is no
provision for filing such claim.
While Mr. Freizenholtz refused 10 say
why he wanted 10 become the owner of
this cavern. II was learned from other
sources that IL contained many geological
specimens heretofore unknown TO the
geological world, as we'll as skeletons and
petrifactions Of prehistoric man, which
are considered very valuable. as they are
the first of the kind ever found. Every

money distributed by the cotton factors
must came back before it benefits the re-
tail business. The wholesale trade, how
ever seems excellent in every line. The
indications are very encouraging for a
good season and a better year than we
have had before in some time"
GRADUAL BUT SOUND IMPROVEMENT.
President Herman Myers of the Ma
tional Bank of Savannah and of the Sa-
vannah Grocery Company, said he had
noticed gradual Improvement in almost
all lines of trade since Jan. l. 1894 The
Improvement, he said had been slowIbut
sound, and business was gradually being
established on more solid basis
Within the last two months, - he said
"the improvement has been still more
marked. There has been a rapid and a
thorough restoration of confidence The
merchants who do business in the CITY
are in better condition than they have
known in a long time. Their indebted
ness is not so large and they are estab-
fishing themselves on sounder and safer
basis.
The banks are all doing a fair bus
mess. For the last three months there
has been a good demand for money, but
prior TO that time the demand was light.
Bank balances were run down early in
the year. but now they are increasing
and the outlook is fattering"

HIS REASON RESTORED.
Strange Adventures of a Danish Gen

ZION the Chieago Nine.


SoTth Bend, Ind, Aug. l3.-A story
rivaling that of DR. Jehyll and Mr.. hyde
has just received its finishing chapters ut
the st. Joseph hospital in this city. Sew
eral months ago a young Dane was found
wandering on the streets in a demented
condition. He was taken to ST. Joseph's
hospital, where an examination revealed
the fact that he was suffering from
"A bullet in his head. and an ope-
ration was de ed upon. This was sue
cessfully perm med and the man has
been restored TO full use of his faculties.
He gives his name as Martin LANCE and
belongs to the race of blonde Scandina-
VANS being a perfect specimen Of the
type. His face is somewhat dIsfgured by
the recent operation which was one Of
the most delicate ones of the kind ever
performed. A piece of the skull about
two inches square was removed revealing
a hattened ball OF thirty-eight caliber,
the pressure Of which upon the brain had
caused the insanity.
To your correspondent LANCE related
the following thrilling story OF his life,
which reads like romance. He said /:
II was born in Jutland, Denmark. May 2,
1864 MY mother Is an attache Of the
royal court, and connected with the royal

A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.
A Steady Improvement in Business
and Finance Since the Panic.

The Banks Have Good Demand for
Money, and are Getting Good Rates
of Interest-They Will Have Plenty
to Move the Cotton Crop-Bank Bal
ances and Deposits are on the In
crease-The Improvement Has Been
Slow and Gradual, but Sound, and
Business is Being Put on a More
Solid and Safer Basis.
Toward the end of the fiscal year the
bankers begin to see brighter light on
the financial horizon, and now the re-
port is everywhere circulated that bust
ness is picking up and in many lines is
better than it has been in any of the last
three or four years preceding.
The financial panic of the summer and
fall of 1898 had no lasting effect what
ever on Savannah's financial institutions,
and while depressing at the time, it was
met with confidence and power to
withstand such attacks which has char
acterized all Of Savannahs banks since
their establishment.
In talking about the business year the
bankers practically date it from Jan. l.,
panic there was a season of general mac
tivity and stagnaJion along almost
all lines. This, it seems, was succeeded
by gradul and slow, but sound improve
ment. The cotton crop is beginning to
move. The wholesale business is finding
plenty of demand for produce from all
sections of the country, and people in all
lines are far more hopeful and confident
Than they have been before in some time.
WHAT THEY SAY.
Mr. M. B. Lane, vice president of the
Cluzens Bank, is well pleased with the
situation.
Last year this time" he said "the
banks in the country were writing TO
know if they could get the money on cot
Ton drafts sent to US for collection, and
This year their query is as 10 whether we
Will send the money before the cotton
drafts arrive.
The banks have all had an average
year. Early in the spring money was
plentiful, and was then hard to put out
10 good advantage. Since June ] every
thlng has improved, money is in good de-
mand, and the banks are enjoying a
healthy bus mess. The demand coming
from the country for money to start the
new cotton crop In motion Is good, and
the banks are finding no trouble in put
ting it out.
There was one good thing about the
financial depression, and that was II

the happy hunting ground that they be-
lieve that this will be the land TO which
their spirits will return, and the game
will be provided for them in abundance

wonderful cave. but that they were

that they would destroy the cave, and
