to enjoy a dinner the occasion be-

Mics Lolita. 1t has not been our
privilege to enjoy such feast in a
long time. There were not quite
as many present as were expected.
owing to the inclemency of the
weather, however, there were sever
al there who did justice to the din
ner. When the time came for din
ner we were ushered into the din
ing room, where table was filed

jury possible to the contents of
the table, we betook ourselves back
to the sitting room, where we were
treated with some nice music.

A Historic Find Near Hunting
Perhaps She Was Once

ton ReHnaps she Was once
a Queen.
There are quite number Of
mounds Ia this vicinity and Il is
said that many Of them VIII be ex-
explored In the very near future.
at Central City there is a very
large mound near the center Of.
the town while at Kellogg can be.
found three more located near the
river bank Numerous others are
scattered about the vicinity Of.
Ceredo.
Franklin S. Cooley. of Kellogg.
has just completed the exploration:
of one of the mounds there and
the following is his story IN his
own words as to the discoveries
made:
I'm the center at the depth of
eight feet with the head toward
the north was found perfect
skeleton of an adult female five
feet and FIVE inches il length.
She had been wrapped in the skin
of an animal, and above and be-
low were ashes and charcoal and
burnt earth to the thickness Of
over am inch. The skin was in q
form of gelatine which dissolved
on exposure. Around the should
ers and extending down to and
across the abdomen was a double
string of ivory beads and around
the neck astring of pearls. The
former were in a good state of
preservation except where crossing
the abdomen where they crumbled.
The string is now about five feet
in length and has about four
hundred beads. The pearls UNI
fortunately went to dust and only
about dozen were saved in good
shape and they range in size from
millet seed TO a large pea, among
those that crumbled were some
considerably larger.
"The head was wrapped with
isinglass, and was in a good state.
A thorough and minute search
failed to find any trace of woven
fibre or cloth, but the usual
amount of gelatine inclined me to
believe they had been clothing of
skin.
"There was nothing else found
except a small clipping from a
flint implement. There was ashes
and charcoal. every few inches,
showing that fires had been light
ed from time to time as the mound
was building. The teeth are GER
feet and no lady in the world to-
day posses more beautiful set.
Her head is symetrical and it may.
be presumed that she was hand
some. That sas was beloved and
of influence may be inferred from
the sizeof the mound that formed
her tomb.

COMMITTEES Report.
This morning We publish a copy
of the Report Of the Committee to
ascertain the indebtedness of the
county, and now on file in the
County Clerks Office.
The advance agents of prosperity
are getting in their work. Since
MeKinley's inauguration the sugar
trust has advanced prices of sugar
so that It is now making 1925, 600
more month 800, 600 a year
than it was at the close of the
Democratic administration. For
the four years reign of these adj
vance agents of prosperity the ex-
cess wrung from the people by
this gigantic trust will amount to
thirty million dollarsI Was it not
a pretty good investment for this
trust to put out its money freely
for McKinley's eIection2 What
the people who have to pay these
extra thirty millions think of the
matter will appear later on.
Some of the changes in our con-
stitution suggested for the action
of the committee is one reducing
the homestead exemption from $500
to 500. In our opinion this would
be a very unpopular change. The
exemption of 5000 is none too high,
in fact, it is scarcely sufficient.
The claim that it makes people dis
honest is not well founded.-Fair-
mont Index.
Any sensible man who will take
the time to read the compulsory
school law enacted by the Legis-
latures, will say that the law should
have been applied to its trainers.
IF there is school boy of fifteen
years in West Virginia who cannot
draft more comprehensive law
he ought to spend the balance of
his school days on the Ounce block
as the personifcation of stupid as
sininity.
IF the principle of protection is
the one great thing, will some adj
yocate of the Dingley bill tell us
why hides were put on the free
list. A duty ON hides would be
from one to two dollars on every
head of cattle in West Virginia.
Was the leather manufacturers in
the east to have their raw material
free in consideration of the sup
port for MarKinIeyI
West Xireinians ganArally will
regret the resignation of Mr.. Chas.
o. Scun as General Passenger
Agent of the B. & o. Railway.
During the past ten years ne has
extended to the travelling public
every reasonable privilege demand
ed of him, and to all he has accord
ed the most cordial treatment
IF the entire population of the
world is considered to be /, 400, 000,-
600 the brains of this number of
human beings would weigh 1922
712 tons, or as much as 96 iron
clads of the ordinary size.
Upwards of of 400 manuscript
plays written or owned by citizens
of the United States are played
nightly in this country. They give
employment to between 5000 and
5000 actors and actresses.
The result of the recent elections
may not have much political signi-
ficance, but there is something
about it that is giving the Repub-
lican politicians a vast deal of
trouble.
