"A great many people have noticed

!. latch, however, has kept an
eye on that particular spot for some
Time past, and of late has been
making some explorations IN and
ABOUT the mound, which have re.
suited IN some curious and perhaps
important discoveries. During the
past week he has been making some
excavations in the mound and has
found a cemented tomb about ten
19et square, very symetrical and
perfect, and from the tomb has
taken two complete skeletons, seve.
raj skulls and extra bones, and has
found certain evidences that no
less than twenty-five persons were
at one time buried in the tomb,
The complete skeletons are those of
persons nearly eight feet high,
heavy boned and have exceptionally
well formed and intelligent shaped
k ulls. They were all buried face
downward, and around the sides of
the tomb we're found numerous
articles of ancient bronze manufac.
ture, showing that the fossil! skele.
tons we're those of a prehistoric
race. At one side of the tomb was
found an altar and around it were
portions of animal bones which
would indicate that the practice of
burnt offerings was common among
this ancient race. Throughout the
mound are mussel shells and other
evidences that the material of which
the mound was constructed was
taken from near the bed of the
river. Drs. Brian of this place and
Evans OF Dell Rapids have made an
examination of the skeletons and
tomb and are satisfied that they are
evidences of a race which must have
lived and died long before the In
dams came upon the scene. Fur
:her explorations will be made and
1t is not improbable that still more
important discoveries will be the
result.-Egan Express.

Muslin Is shirred on the lower sash of each
window TO insure privacy. It was notice
able that the house is the home Of one Of
the city's well known physicians, and a
casual observer wondered If the bamboo
hangings were not used for their airy and
easy to keep clean qualities. Many ply

the use Of heavy window draperics. They
