A Remarkable Skeleton.

T.. K. Buckley, assistant state geolo-
gist, who was in Milwaukee Monday
said that an important find had been
made on the farm of j. G.. Dorsch, six
miles west of Richland Center, which
would create some stir in scientific
circles.
The discovery is the bones of an i'm
mense mammoth, which were disclosed
to view by the action Of recent Hoods
In u creek on the farm. The bones
were found about five feet below the
surface mixed with the remains of
driftwood. Only II portion of the
skeleton has been found, Mr.. Buckley
said, but it is expected that the re-
mainder will be unearthed by digging
The long bones of one of the legs,
said Mr.. Buckley, although an end of
each had been broken off, were higher
than the back of an ordinary sized
horse. The joint of the thigh bone is
thirty-hve inches around and nearly II
foot across. The bone Is three feet in
length and an unknown amount has
been broken off one end.
One rib that was found is four feet
long, and part of it has been broken
of. One of the vertebrm, or bones of
the spine, is II foot and seven inches
across.
All the bones are in an excellent
state of preservation, owing to the fact
that they were incased in bed of blue
clay which protected them from action
of the air. They will be taken to the
University of Wisconsin.

There Is growing talk of another
international bi-mctallic conferences;
which conference, IL IL said, will likely
be held In the United States. But the
great commercial nations Of the world
will go right along adhering to the
gold standard, and upon that standard
the exchanges Of the world will be
made. Bimetallic coinage upon any
other ratio than the ancient right
standard Of intrinsic eqnivalency, or
the commercial value, is wrong: and
II that sort Of coinage could be main
tanned II would not differ greatly from
the present gold standard. Americans
should not pin their faith to bimct-
tallism, whether national or inter-
national, What Is most needed, is "
wise reform Of the currency system of
the United States.

An Attendance Of 1888 Christian
EndeavOrers.
Lacrosse Chronicle.

Lacrosse Chronicle.
II is possible now to make close
estimate of how many delegates attend
ed the Christian Endeavor convention
at San Francisco. The total number
of people from other states, territories
and foreign countries in attendance
was II ,224. From California the reg
istration was 1904, making a total Of
%, 01S. From these figures 1t will be
seen that the actual attendance upon
the convention is surprisingly close to
the advance estimates that were made.
Outside of California the largest dele
cation was from Illinois, ,083, Iowa
being next, Pennsylvania third, fol-
lowed by Ohio, New York and Massa-
chussetts in the order named. The
women from all places outside OF the
state were almost twice as numerous
rs the men, the figure being: Women
7 Al, men 3,747.

Weekly CrOn Bulletin.

The weather during the past week
has been favorable for a continuation
Of the rapid development of all crops.
Rains fell in nearly all portions of the
state from the 10Th to the 2lst, but
were not very we'll distributed, being
heaviest in the northern section and
very light along the Lake Michigan
shore and in the southern counties.
These rains were timely, as moisture
was needed in many places, but inter-
fered to some extent with the progress
of haying, which in some portions of
the northern section had to be sus-
pended until the latter part OF the
week. On Sunday afternoon and night
moderately heavy rains occurred in
nearly all portions of the state, furn-
ishing needed moisture in the earstern
and southern counties. In the middle
and southern sections the hay crop
has been generally put away: yield
good. Corn is still making rapid
progress and is in excellent condition,
though very weedy. Barley is nearly
all cut and the yield is generally fair.
There is much complaint of chinch
bugs from the central and western
counties but as yet none of any conse-
quence are reported from any other
portion of the state. Army worms are
doing some damage in. Trempeleau
county. Oats will be harvested soon,
and although there is considerable
complaint of rust and lodging, the
yield will be good; straw shorter than
usual. Spring wheat is progressing
finely and Notwithstanding slight dam
age from rust and chinch bugs, prom
ises n very good crop. Small fruits
are in good condition. Berry crop
large. Pastures are in excellent con-
dition. Tobacco continues to make
rapid progress and is in excellent con-
dition

Killed by the Cars,

Darlington Journal.
Ira Williams, deaf mute Al years
old, was killed by the north bound
freight yesterday morning, two miles
south of Calamine. He was walking
on the track, having started from
Darlington for Calamine a couple of
hours before he was killed. His death
was instantaneous, from conclusion of
the brain and fracture of the skull.
An inquest was held by Justice VIM
Hooper, and a jury, who rendered a
verdict in accordance with the facts,
and generating the engineer from
blame, as it was shown that he blew
the whistle to its utmost capacity, and
of course did not know that the man
on the track was totally deaf.
Deceased made his home at South
Wayne, and his remains were taken
there by the afternoon freight.
Ira Williams was we'll known in this
city, where he had occasionally been
employed for years. He had many
friends here, and was respected by all
Delavan, and was of genial DISPOSE
ton, and kept himself fully informed
on passing events through the news
papers. Peace to his remains.

that the pearl-hearing clam has long

at many thousands of dollars have

cure valuable pearls are Cal. Martin,

Better Times Ahead.

Chicago Times Herald.
The facts show that prosperity has
como to the American farmer. He Is
sure OF enormous crops, and the prices
have been going up. lie has more to
sell than he had II year ago, and he
will get better prices for nearly all of
his products. The farmer will get
300 200 200 more for his wheat than
last year, sic, 900 900 more for his corn
$40, coo, 900 more for other grain and
S2tO, 0OO, 900 more for his live stock u
total of S350, 200, 200. The resumption
of industrial enterprises all over the
country has made II bigger market for
the farmers products and stitlcned the
prices, and n shortage In the crops of
other countries offsets the effect of an
enormous increase IN the crops of this
country. The season is SO far advanc-
ed that 1t is possible to make reason
ably reliable estimates of the crop. and
the prices used In making the compari-
son are based ON actual sales In the
open market. The figures show why
the American farmer, sure ofhandsome
returns from his products, is already
wiping out his mortgages, rs shown by
reports published recently.
