MOUND BUILDERS IN MINNESOTA.

The G o takes pleasure in pre-
an exceedingly valuable article bear
ing upon the prehistoric inhabitants
of Minnesota, prepared by Hon. J. V.
Brewer, and embodying the results
of Investigations made by himself
and Prof. T. H. Lewis about the head
waters of the Mississippi. Mr.. Brow
er is an adept in exploration, and
the best authority on the basin of
the upper Mississippi. He adds to
the service which he has already
done a chapter of extraordinary in
terest in this inquiry into the history
and habits of our prehistoric races.
He has found traces and relics of
the mound builders through the en-
tire basin Of the upper Mississippi,
from Lake Itasca to the falls of Po-
kegama. Through this district the
mounds are discovered everywhere.
They are composed of various ma
terials, and were probably erected
for different purposes, but all bear
witness to the existence here in pre-
historic times of a people that has
now utterly vanished from the face
of the earth.
This mound-building people lived,
probably, in Mr.. Brewers opinion,
where our people now have their
homes, at least twelve hundred years
ago. They discovered and opened
the various portages between the
great lakes in the Mississippi basin.
They were Of a race superior to any
of the savage tribes that succeeded
them. The host of relics picked up
here and there through the region,
together with the contents of mounds
that have been explored, give us
what knowledge we have of them.
They resided mostly upon lake
shores, in villages, and lived upon
game and fish. They used vessels of
pottery, stone implements, the bow
and arrow, and implements of cop
per. They were Of full stature, and
the formation of the skulls that Mr.
Brewers party exhumed and exam
ined indicates high degree of in
telEgence.
The existence of mounds of smaller
construction, effigy mounds and sites
for worship or for burial, over a
wide portion Of the Mississippi val
ley suggests the general distribution
at some prehistoric day Of this inter-
esting race of people, of whose 9th
er work we know SO little, and whose
origin and fate are wrapped in COM
mon mystery. The researches of
Mr.. Brewer will turn new attention
to the upper Mississippi basin as
prolific and, as yet, uneXhausted field
for future investigation. And we
may expect from study of the
relics which he has submitted to
eminent savants still more interest
ing disclosures and conclusions than
those which he presents to the world
this morning through the columns
of the G lob

HARD FIGHT FOR BRICE.
Both Sides Claiming u Victory u,
Springfield.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Aug. 3.-The
preliminary fight between Senator c.
s. Brice. as the sound money candi-
date, for reelection, and John H.
Thomas, as the opposing free silver
candidate, occurred at the county con-
vention here today. Both sides claim
the victory, but the factions fought
until confusion reigned supreme. After
their separation two sets of delegates
were selected to the state convention
and the fight will be continued before

A SHOCKING DISEASE.

There has been comparatively lit
tie of late Of that display of maudlin
sentiment over notorious criminals
that has so often called for stern
reprimand from a disguised pub
lie. 1t seems to have broken out
again, for some unaccountable rea
son, in the case of Durrant, of San
Francisco. The particular attrac-
ton about this young man is that he
is charged with numbering two
young women, under circumstances
Of peculiar atrocity. We do not, of
course, know whether he is guilty
or innocent; neither do those who
tender to him an effusive and affec-
tiOnate sympathy. But absolutely
the only reason why he should be an
object Of their attention is the pos
sibiiity, not tosay probability, that
he committed a series of horrible
crimes; first against womanhood, and
then against humanity. For this
cause the prison officials are unable
to dispose of the profusion Of flow
ers sent to him by his female adj
mirers, and the officers of the law
have to use violent restraint to pre-
vent them from welcoming him with
affectionate embraces when he ap-
pears in court.
&c g., &c
shocking For it is an evidence of
a mental disease which has not yet
IEbeen properly classified by the stu
dents of degeneracy, or studied by
the medical authorities. No woman
who offers any such demonstration
of interest in a man unknown, ex-
cept as a despoiler of her sex, is of
sound mind. It is species of mania
/ that has taken possession of her;
and the proper remedy is not pub
/ Hcity, any more than it is in other
7instances OF temporary insanity, but
a reasonable constraint and the serv-
ices OF a physician to restore her
mind to it's lost balance. Every such
exhibition should be 50 treated. If
lit were, not only would the COM
mission of crime lose some OF the ro-
nance that has come to cling about
it, but a lot of weak women would
be saved from the consequences Of
their folly, and an obscure and dan
gerous disease might, by prompt
and stern treatment, be checked and
finally eradicated. In fairness, how
ever, it may be said that the oppo-
site sex is occasionally afflicted by a
touch of the same trouble. The uni
versal discussion of the case of Maria
.Barberi, and the demands made in
the press for her pardon by Gov.
Morton, are somewhat akin to the Of
fensive effusiveness of the admirers
Of Durrant because he is accused Of
murder and other crimes. The af-
lection is one that should be rec
ognized by the medical profession
and consigned to it for treatment.

TO BE OR NOT.
Governor Clark Is Firm and Means Busi-
ness.

Hot Springs Ark, October lit IS
learned that the information regarding
the outlook for the fight, furnished
correspondents last night, was too rose
colored. Today it was ascertained that
Gov. Clark assured the committee his
position was unchanged from that taken
in the beginning. He intended to see the
law enforced and hoped and believed local
officers would see them executed. Judge
Duffie, the principal conservator OF peace,
had claimed there was an organized in
tent to break the law, had asked his (the
governor's) assistance to preserve the law
and order. With that request remaining
unrecalled, the governor stated that he
would have to stand unchanged, though
assured there was to be no Infringement
of the law.
elf" the governor said, ''you convince
Judge Duffie, so he shall recall his re-
quest for aid, will be convinced that
action by me is unnecessary Judge
Duffie, when asked what course could be
taken to convince him, replied, - will
agree to submit the matter to any three
Circuit judges of the state and be guided
by their decision.

A DECREE FROM LEO.
Catholics Are Not to Participate in Relig-
ious Congresses.

Chicago, October 17.-In accordance
with instructions from Pope Leo, sub
mitted through Monsignor Satolli, a
manifesto that will shortly be issued by
the archbishops of the country, informing
Catholics that they are not to take part
in religious congresses. The letter to the
laity is couched in the most inoffensive
language, ana instructions to the priests,
who will direct the congregations. will
be moro explicit. The letter is looked up
on by prominent Catholics as direct
blow at the policy of Cardinal Gibbons
and Archbishop Ireland. who not only
are most prominent in the Congress of
Religions, but openly urge the holding of
such congresses.

THE ELEcTRIcs.
The Congress Street Line Is Regularly y
Established.

About 2 p M. yesterday the horse cars
we're Withdraw from the Congress street
line and the electrics went on in their
place, making the regular trips. There
wasn't hitch or an accident to mar the
running throughout the afternoon and
evening. Mr. Newman said last night
that he was more than pleased with their
work. One division of men that have
been thoroughly drilled as conductors
and motormen have been placed on the
Congress street line and the other
division is all ready to go on the Spring
street and Stroud dwater branches when
needed. 1t is expected that the Spring
street cars will begin to run the first OF
next week, and the Stroudwater about
the same time.
The cars, at the present at least, will
stop. lust as the horse cars used to, for
passengers wherever they desire to get
aboard, but later at regular locations
DESIGNATED by signals as in the large
cities. No one will be allowed on the
front of the car where the motorInan IS
located, and gates will be closed at tbs
rear on the side towards the other track,
so that passengers cannot subject them
selves to the dangers of being run down
by car coming from the opposits
direction.
One great source of danger is that
arising from small children rushing out
across the rack as car Is passing
waving their hands, and thinking they
are doing very smart thing as children
are apt to think. Parents should warn
their children to keep away from ths
track else serious injuries may result as
have happened in other cities.
The Portland Railroad company is en-
titled to the highest praise for the
splendid road they have placed before
their patrons They have spared neither
money nor skill in producing as fine an
electric road as exists anywhere in the
country They have sold the electrical
appliances in the old power house at
Deering, and will turn the house into a

London, October 17.-The Times pub
fishes a Constantinople dispatch, dated
October 15 stating that it is believed
that the decline in prices on the Bourse
and the general depression is due to the
spreading conviction that Mohammedan
discomfort will shortly reveal itself in
action which will be the opening of
long and dramatic chapter. Mohamme-
dams declare that storm is brewing
which will sweep away the whole dynasty
and release Islam from the thraldon
that cramps its energies and paralyzes
it's forces, The fact is that the imperial
system gnaws into the life and comfort
of everybody, SO that the note of dis
content once sounded will be echoed in
every household.
The dispatch adds that a number OF
Mohammedans were arrested yesterday
for using sedit1ous language. Theresis

will probably prove to be murder mas
just been brought to light IN the town OF
Landau, ten miles from here. A french
man occupying an old house which has
been deserted for the greater part OF the
time for several years, wishing to make
potato bin In the cellar, began work IN
one corner by removing pile OF rubbish,
and soon brought to light the bones of
woman, but whose body. it is not definite

These statements are made concerning
former citizen. Several years ago one
Gray lived somewhere in the town OF
Hayerhill, and he and his wife were con-
tinually having trouble and finally they
decided to separate. one DAY he
borrowed team of Jerry Barry to take
his wife to Bath to take a train for
California, where she decided to CO. Gray
did not return until next day. since
then nothing has been heard from his
wife, and the suppositioE is that they
quarrelled on the road and coming to this
deserted house he killed her and buried
her IN the cellar.
Inquiries of the ticket agent at Bath
disclosed the fact that no ticket had been
sold to California for several years.
People stand ready to swear that the the
buttons on dress found in the cellar are
like those worn by Mrs. Gray, and the
color of her hair corresponds with Mrs.
Grays. County Coroner Dow and County
Solicitor Adams went there this after
noon. =,
The bones were brought to Woodyille
this evening and when placed ii position
showed fracture of the skull that must
have produced instant death. The blow
was evidently inflicted by some blunt
