Is if Prehistoric

The workmen engaged in digging the trench for the gas main on First street in front of the Herald office yes erday afternoon uncovered the two end wall 5 of a stone foundation set in cement, while along the outside of the edge oi the trench lay the outer wall of the foundation Captain Hancock, who built the first building in this city, which was erected where the Joe Stein saloon now stands, near the corner of Wash ington street and First street, when he viewed the walls said they were without doubt prehistoric, for never since the city ot Phenix was first started has a building stoon on that site. The captain cited several instances in this city where the ruins of ancient buildings have been unearthed, notable case being on the site of the Loring building, where Vantiburg & Davis, the jewellers, are now located MT Loring, after his first building on that site was erected, made an excavation for cellar, and the work men unearthed the foundations of house which was of almost pure cement and showed a fireplace blackened by smoke and which was unmistakable The workmen did not go below tue old floor, which was as hard as cement The walls uuearthed yesterday afternoon have undoubtedly stood there for cen turies. .-Herald.

Carnegie Company Secures Contract
for First Building OF Kind There.
The Carnegie Steel company has cap
tured the contract for the first fire.
proof steel building ever erected in the
empire of Japan. While the amount of
the contract is comparatively Il small
matter, the importance lies in the fact
that new field has been opened for the
output OF American steel mills. Tam
asulxi Yokohama, n japanese engineer
and architect, has arrived in Pittsburgh
to consult with the Carnegie company's
engineer concerning details. The
building is 20 cover an immense area,
but owing TO the prevalence of earth
oualles in Japan, will be but four stor-
les high. It viii be $50 by 235 feet, and
ia being built by Matsui & Co.. of Toxic,
for Office and mercantile purposes.
About 1900 tons of steel will enter into
the structure. This will ne shipped by
way of New York, the sirst shipment
to be loaded at New York on September

OMAHA SEES AN AlRSHlP.
Remarkable Object Hovers Over
Nebraska CITY Mt Night.


Nebraska City mt Night.
During the last six months an alleged
airship has been observed floating in
The heavens in different sections of Ne
braska. For the last three nights it
has been seen lowering over Omaha.
The unusual occurrence has led to the
opinion that the inventor of q real air.
ship has been testing his machine in
Nebraska preparatory to placing it
before the public. The indications are
that John o. Preast, of Douglass coun-
ty, is the author, of the mysterious ma
chine, though he vigorously denies that
such is the case. Preast occupies his
time at his country residence !. near
Omaha in experimenting with air.
ships. constructing models. etc, and
has been SO engaged for the last ten
years. Some time ago he told several
persons that he would surprise the
world with q working model in 1897.
There is no doubt that the light seen
in different parts of the state is the
same, stree the descriptions by the per-
Sons who have seen it always agree.
The light is about as large as a locomo-
tive headlight, and seems to be turned
ap, down, right or left at the will of
some human agency. Sometimes it is
seen rushing through the air at very
high rate of speed, and again is OBJ
served stationary or moving slowly
through the heavens about half q mile
high. The two times in the last week
that the light had been seen at Omaha it
disappeared near breasts nome.

IMMIGRATION TO DAKOTA.
Nearly 5000 DunknrtsB on Their Way
TO the Promised Land.

TO the Promised Land.
Nearly 5000 Dunkards and Mennon-
ties passed through St. Paul the other
day en- route to their new homes in
North Dakota. This was the largest
single movement of settlers ever seen
in the northwest. About 95 per cent.
of the entire party was composed Of
Dunkards and their families. They
left in two special trains of two sections
each over the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. Each company
claimed the largest patronage. The
Great Northern estimated that the spe-
cial took out ,442 men, women and
children, unquestionably the largest
train load of settlers the world ever
saw. This train consisted of 25 day
coaches. five sleepers and five baggage
cars. C. ". Mott, general immigration
agent of the Northern Pacific, stated
that his party resembled the Great
Northern in most particulars, being
composed almost entirely of Dunkards.
They arrived in more scattered con-
dition than the Great Northern travel
ers, and so it was harder to estimate
their numerical strength. The land
department of the Northern Pacific
claimed about 1900.

Texas Fever.

Elaborate experiments on Texas
lever have been conducted at CO.
iumbia during the past year by
the Missouri Experiment Station
and the State Board OF Agricul.
ture, cooperating with the Texas
Experiment Station. Bulletin No.
81 by DR.. J. W. Connaway, just is.
sued, reports the results of these
tests.
1t was clearly demonstrated that
the Texas tick is the natural means
OF communicating the disease from
one animal TO another. Ticks
Matched in the labratory when put
on Missouri shorthorn cows in lots
Tree from any possible infection,
produced fatal cases Of Texas fever
in every instance within from thir.
teen to eighteen days after the
young ticks were placed on the
animal.
The Texas station dipped a car
load of Texan cattle, ali Of which
were covered with the Texas fever
tick, and shipped the dipped cattle
to the Missouri authorities.
These cattle were dipped in n
West Virginia mineral oil at cost
of less than five cents per head.
The Missouri station confined these
dipped Texan cattle in u small lot
with number of shorthorn cows
from the 18th of August Until the
first of November, and made care
full daily observations and tcmpera-
turc records, with the result that
no Texas fever was communicated.
Ii subsequent experiments con-
firm these results, the dipping pro-
cess will be entirely practical bio
and feasible, and can be easily and
cheaply done on commercial
scale, and would enable tho farm
ers of the Mississippi yalIoy to
purchase and bring TO their farms
with perfect safety 1T any season
of the year cheap range cattle TO
eat their surplus corn and grass.
An attempt was made to innocu-
late cattle so that they would be
proof against this disease, with
very promising results. These re-
suits arc also in q m 8asuro con.
firmed by experiments that DR..
Connaway has just concluded in
Mississippi. on car load OF dairy
cattle shipped there from Kansas.
Twelve of these cattle had died of
Texas fever before the tie animals
were injected; none died afterward.
The method is neither expensive
nor difficult, and if it proves to be
successful as it now promises, the
entire Texas fever district COM
prising dozen states will be
opened as a market Tor the thor
ough-bred stock of the north and
west. inasmuch as these animals
may then be shipped to these states
