and laid fat on my back and suffered
the most eKcruciating agonies, screaming in
pain every time anybody walked across the

the constant use Of opiates. After three
months of this kind Of. agony, during
which time my entire lei leg persisted away

a new remedy called DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People, by Mr.. Allison who is
now train dispatcher at TexaTkana, and
who was relieved Of lOeomotor ataxia of
twenty years duration. At his urgent and
repeated solicitation I consented to give

pills and kept right on improving until

that Pink Pills not only cured me but saved

GIANTS OF THE OLD TIMES
Buried for the Use of the Modern
Scientists
Prehistoric Hounds In Pennsylvania Yield Up
Relics Of the Ancient Inhabitants
of America

PITTSBURG, Aug. 20.-Great inter-
est is manifested here over the discovery
of number of implements in a mound
at Mckee Rocks, which is being ex-
cavated for scientific purposes. The
mound is believed to have been built by
the ancient mound builders and the i'm
plements found today place the mound
on par with those that have been ex-
plored elsewhere. The work is being
done under the direction of Thomas
Harper of this city, who believes that
the specimens found here are not less
than 1000 years old and prove that they
were made by the most ancient people
that inhabited the country. The list
includes a bone implement, which Mr..
Harper believes was f1aker, the pieces
of which are separated in five or six
parts. Bone needles or avis were also
found, and Mr.. Harper says they can
be partially restored.
A tomahawlS, which Mr.. Harper re-
CARDS as not being less than 1000 years
old, was also found. The same kind of
weapons are also found on the British
isles. Mr.. Harper says the weapon is
similar in appearance to the paleoith,
which was used for striking. 1t is made
of gneiss. He considers this an ex-
t1aordinary discovery. The bone imple-
ment, or flaker, is the implement which
the ancients used in making flint instru-
ments.
The specimens will be placed in the
Carnegie museum. Since this mound
was opened, month ago, sixteen skele-
tons have been found many of them be-
ing og gigantic stature.

CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 20--Nansen's
exploring ship Fran, which he left be-
hind in the ice early in January, 1896, in
order to explore the sea north of the
route he proposed to follow, arrived at
Skjervo inthe province of Tromsoe, yes
terday evening. Capt. Sverdrup, her
commander, reports all we'll on board
The Fran called at Danes Island August
IA and saw Prof. Andree, who was still
waiting for favorable wind before he
would attempt his balloon trip across
the Arctic regions. Capt. Sverdrup sent
the following telegram to Nansen:
Fran arrived safely; all we'll on
board; leave at once for Tromsoe. We'll
come home''
DR.. Nansen replied as follows:
Thousand times welcome to you all.
Hurrah for Fram!''
The Fran left Skjervo this morning
for Tromsoe, where Nansen will meet
her
Additional details received from Skier
vo regarding DR.. Nansen's Arctic ex-
ploring ship are to the effect that the
boat drifted to a point S595 degrees
north. The greatest sea depth obtained
by sounding was 2185 fathoms. The
lowest temperature noted was 50 de-
grees below zero.

There Is great enthusiasm throughout

A dispatch to the Aftenposten from
Skjervo says the Fran reached open
water August 49, A member of the ex-
pedition expresses the opinion that the
Fran would have penetrated much
further into the Arctic regions and per-
haps the north pole would have been
reached if the Fran had not been frozen

In the highest latitude reached, 86.15

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Among the
callers at the Democratic headquarters
today was Secretary Hoke Smith. who
had long conference with Chairman
Faulkner and Secretary Gardiner The
Democratic committee has decided to
circulate among farmers portions Of
Bourke Cockran's speech, especially the
portions where he made reference to
professional farmers"
The Democratic committee will pub
1ish an extract from the message of
President Grant sent to congress Jan
uary IA, 1875, announcing his approval
of the act for resumption of specie pay
ments. The object is to show that Pree-
ident Grant did not know that silver had
been demonetized by the act of 1873. Tie
extract is as follows: I'm fact, to carry
out the first section of the act, another
mint becomes necessary. With the pres
ent facilities for coinage i. would take a
period probably beyond that fixed by
law for final specie resumption to coin
the silver necessary to transact the bus
mess of the country. There are now
some melting furnaces for extracting
silver and gold ores brought from the
mountainous territories in Chicago, ST..
Louis and Omaha, three in the former
city, and as much of the change re-
quired will be wanted in the Mississippi
states, and as the metal to be coined
comes from west of those states, and as
understand the charges of transporta-
ton Of bullion from either of the cities
named to the mint in Philadelphia to
New York amount to 81 for each $1,000
worth of metal. with an equal expense
for transportation back, it would seem
a fair argument in favor of adopting
one or more of these cities as the place
or places for the establishment of new
coinage facilities"

self before the trial of the Rev. DR..
Brown In her confession Miss Over
man says that she and Dr. Brown were
guilty of the offenses charged against
them. There was nothing startling in
this assertion, as Mrs. M. f. Tunnell
acting in conjunction with Miss Over
man, and with her consent gave pub
licity to the same acknowledgment in
an interview.
In her latest confession" however,
Miss Overman drags into the case an
other person, who in no way was seri-
ously connected with the affair. This
person is member of DIR. Brown S
family, and sor some reaon or other has
inspired the hatred of Miss Overman.
Much of the confession" deals with this
person. No effort is made to disguise
the venom of the bitter attack. Charges
of the most scandalous character are
made, but no corroboration is offered,
and from the nature of the case none
can be. The attack, in the opinion of
those best qualified to judge, can have
absolutely no bearing on the case, and
has been made with such an evident
purpose that it should not be considered.
AS already indicated, Miss Overman
retracts every assertion made by her
under oath. She admits that she lied
from the beginning to the end of her
testimony She then "confesses' her
guilt and in a measure attempts to pal
late it by accusing another person,
against whom not the slightest suspi-
cion had been directed. The conuslting
ministers are unanimous in their belief
that it is cruel and unjust to raise
such suspicion now, and they are
frank to admit that Miss Overman has
weakened her entire statement by her
attack upon this member of Dr. Browns $
family.
The Bulletin says this evening that
Rev. C. o. Brown is undismayed by the
confession of Matte Overman, and has
decided to return to San Francisco to
live down" the charges against him.
He will not return in his private capac-
ity, but as pastor of an Independent
church, with membership of less than
100 as a starter, and the prospect of a
salary of less than $1,000 per annum.
On the completion of his present visit
to Dakota relatives he will come here
to take charge of the church. prepara-
tions for starting which have been made
