MUMMY or A PHARAOH.
A Great Discovery, In Egypt In 1ssl-
 Rnmescs H.

A Great Discovery In Egypt In 1ss1-
 Rameses II.
 The greatest discovery of mummies ever made in Egypt was in the year 1881, when the remains of S9 royal personages were brought to light at Dier-el-Bahari. Thebes. One of these was proved to be the mummy of King Rameses H., the third king of the ninth dynasty and the Pharaoh of the Jewish captivity. This mummy was in perfect state of preservation. The mummy case itself was of sycamore wood, plain and unvarnished. and without spot or stripe of paint, some- thing rcckoned as unusual. The case was, however, carved to represent Rameses in the position of Osiris. The crossed arms rested upon the breast. In the right hand was the royal whip and in the left the royal book. The features were most delicately carved in the soft wood, and the whole was surmounted with the crown of upper and lower Egypt and surrounded by a carved representation of the uraeus serpent. The name of hdIucbcS was WIittCh PiuAh DAsSSN characters upon the case. which bore no other text or representation what- ever, strongly contrasting with the ex- aggerated dedications noted on almost all the other cases found in the same pit. The mummy itself was carefully wrapped in rose colored and yellow linen of texture finer than the very finest India muslin. In different folds of this linen several dried lotus flowers and leaves were found. In the folds of one of the bands which passed across the graveclothes to keep them in shape was folded papyrus bearing inscrip- tions which informed the reader that this, the mummy of Rameses H., was concealed in the pit, where it was
 found at time when a foreign army invaded Egypt This quaint bit of in- formation, which was probably writ ten 2,0O0 or 2,5O0 years ago, is as plain as though it had been penned but yes terday.-St. Louis Republic.

Family of Seven Drowned While Trying to
 Escape from the Flood in Arkansas.
 HELENA, Ark, April 15.-A distress ing accident occurred ten miles west of this city, resulting in the drowning of family of seven negroes. Sylvester Sanders, tenant on the Joal Higgins farm, where the current has been so swift as to threaten the destruction of the houses, left with his family, wife and five children, for high ground. Unfortunately. he took into his flat boat large bull which he valued highly. When near the Calicott place and within mile of the hills, the bull, which was almost famished, attempt- ed to eat the small limbs of the willow trees through which the boat was be- ing laboriously pushed. The animals action tipped the boat and frightened the inmates, who made frantic efforts to right it. In the excitement the ani- nal kicked the side of the boat to pieces and the entire family was drowned. Some negroes saw them, but were unable to render any assistance.

the Englishman who created a sc nsa-
tion a short time ago by eloping with
the wife Of John Bradbury, the young
millionaire of Los Angeles, Cal, com
mitted suicide some time last night by
throwing himself from n sleeper of the
Chicago d Northwestern overland
train. The fact was not known until
several hours later, and as the result
Of search, which was immediately
begun, the body of Ward was found at
Wheatland. Iowa.
1t Is not known at what hour Ward
leaped from the train, but according
to Conductor Callov ay, the act was
committed after o'clock this morn
ing.
Ward was evidently insane when he
threw himself out of the car window,
as he had been acting peculiarly a
greater part of the trip. When the
train was at Fremont, Neb., he sent a
telegram to the police in Chicago, re-
questing them to meet the train this
morning He signed the telegram
"R W." and for several hours the po-
lice in this city endeavored to find out
who "R. W. could be. The telegram
gave the police 10 information, but the
sending of it makes the police believe
Ward intended to commit suicide on
The train and sent the telegram for
the purpose of having the police find
his body when the train should ar
rive here.
Ward was an Englishman. He was
married and had large family in
England. A short time ago he visited
Los Angeles, where he met the wife
of John bradbury, reputed million
aire Both bradbury and his wife are
still young. The husband was abroad
at the time, and a sensation was cree
ated when Ward eloped with Mrs.
Bradbury TO San Francisco. Brad q
bury, when he returned and heard Of
the elopement, went after his wife
and reconciliation took place.

pie that Ward had become insane
