RELIC OF GREAT RACE FOUND.
Finely Tempered Copper Spear In
Unearthed Near Mora, MINI.

Finely Tempered Copper Spear Is
p Unearthed Near Mora, MINI.
While men were excayating with o
steam shovel near Mora, Mimi, they
found an old copper spear with point
measuring. ten inches in length, taper
ing to very fine and tempered firm
point. The weapon showed the maker
to have been an adept in working cop
per metal.
Archaeologists believe that at some
prehistoric time the country surrounds
ing Mora was densely inhabited by a
race of people who were much farther
advanced in civilization than the In
dams. The many mounds around Fish
lake show that mighty race of people
lies slumbering there, whose history is
vet unwritten, only as one can read by
the mounds of earth which were used as
sepulchers for their dead, and which
demonstrate beyond doubt that they
were numerous as well as powerful
people.
Two investigators excavating q
mound found skeleton apparently
embalmed in kind of cement, which
seemed to be prepared for embalmine
the dead. The skeleton appeared to be
in perfect state of preservation and
showed by measurement a height Of
nine feet for the individual, built ir
good proportions. So soon as the all
struck it the bones crumbled and dis
appeared.
Taking the country northeast from
Fish lake, where there is a group Of
81 mounds, one finds regular system
of dams extending clear to Lake Su
perior, 100 miles, in which one can see
that the prehistoric man had regular
means of travel by water FROM theii
great city around Fish lake to Lake
Superior, and going south by Snake
river to the Gulf of Mexico.
These landmarks are so plain thai
no one can well dispute them. Who
these people were and what became o.
them is question yet unsolved, but
their existence is beyond question.

DOG MADE HEIR TO SI,7oo.
John A. spooner Makes HIS VIII and
His Companion the Beneficiary.


His Companion the Beneficiary.
John A. Spooner and his dog Rover
are tramps, but not paupers, and should
the dog outlive his master he will be the
heir to $1,7o0, and the Guarantee Title
and Trust company, of Chicago, will
see that he is taken care OF and his es-
tate properly managed.
Spooner, the owner Of Rover, was a
sailor, but for some years has been a
tramp from choice, not necessity.
While rambling through southern Hi
nois he came across Rover, then pup,
with q tin can tied TO his tail. He re-
leased the terrified creature of its bur-
den and ever since Spooner and Rover
have been inseparable.
Spooner is about 20 years old, and on
the supposition that he may die before
Rover he has concluded that the latter
shall IN any event be well cared for
while he lives, and with that intent
he went to Attorney E. E. Ellison and
had his will drawn up in favor of Rover,
leaving him the ST, 700.

SPIRIT LOCATES TREASURE.
Farmers Near Defiance, o., Engaged
fn q Search for Gold.

In q search Tor GOiO.
w. P. Sanford, farmer, and A. AL
len Noe, leader of the populist party of
Defiance county, o., are engaged in a
project at present that is attracting
considerable attention. Sanford, who
is past so, is wealthy and an ardent
Spiritualist. Noe poses as Spiritualis-
tic medium, and both have been en-
gagged for year past in holding a series
of services at various portions of the
country. At these meetings the spirit
of a deceased pioneer never failed to
appear and tell of $4,000 in gold which
he buried on Sanford's farm years ago.
Both men relied implicitly upon the
spirits story, as it has been repeated
exactly alike at more than dozen meet
ings, and now they have engaged the
assistance of several men, and with a
deep pillow and four horses are at work
turning over the ground in q 2o-acre
field in the southeast corner of the
farm where the spirit locates the buried
treasure. Sanford declares he will turn
over every foot of ground on his farm of
100 acres to find the pot of gold which
is said to be but one foot under ground.

BUTCHER GOWNS.
And Gowns, Busters, Coats and
Sleeves In Various Occupations.

And Gowns, Busters, Coats and
Sleeves In Various Occupations.
Butchers gowns, which are made of
cotton and linen, come often in all white,
sometimes in blue check, often in ma
terial that is plaided off with lines on
white ground. Sometimes the lines are
all of tho same color; sometimes lines
of two OF three different colors are
woven into the fabric. There are many
tasteful designs in the materials used
for butcher gowns. Beef handlers wear
usually gown or buster made of a
dark blue material, says the New York
Sun.
Fish dealers wear duster or gown
of blue check. Grocer's busters are
made most commonly of blue linen, as
are the busters worn by druggists;
they are sometimes made of striped
cotton material. The bartender wears
white duck coat, and there are white
duck coats made for BARRIERS.
There are aprons made in various
styles, for butchers, bartenders, and
others. Aprons are almost always
white. Sleeves are sold for butchers
made of white material, and also of ma
terial to match the gown. Straw cuffs
are worn by many. Winter listers are
made for butchers and others whose
business or occupation may make them
desirable.
There are tailors who confine their at
tention to the making and selling of
butcher and other gowns, busters
and coats, and the aprons, sleeves and
cuffs commonly worn with them.

Eagles have been making havoc

eagles come down by the dozen and
slaughter the sheep by wholesale. Les

The eagles measure over four feet

are left unmolested, there being a fine

great American variety and have always

They are rapidly increasing and Deputy

Berlin street Running win Wine

A curious sight was witnessed the
other night in Lenne street, Berlin,
A van heavily laden with baskets con-
tanning bottles of wine came in contact
with some obstacle and was overturned.
The contents of the van were thrown
violently onto the asphalted road, with
the result that nearly every bottle-and
there were several hundred = was
smashed and the street was trans
formed into a veritable river of wine.
The urchins, who quickly gathered,
took advantage of the opportunity and
greedily drank up the wine that re-
manned in the bottles which were not
completely broken, and it was not long
before large number of intoxicated
street urchins were to be seen. 1t was

EIectricity FOR ernln Handlin9

Not only will one elevator in Buffalo
use Niagara power to handle grain,
ETC., but two of these great structures
in the Queen city will use the trans
mitted energy to operate their ma
chinery. The latest to announce its
intention to avail itself of the power
is the Electric Elevated company, whose
elevatorbuilding is nowgoingupon Buff
falo creek. 1t will take 450 horse power,
and the motors have been ordered.
Electricity is popular with elevator es-
adjustments because it is less likely
to create fires than power generated on
the premises.

RULES FOR wHEELMEN.
Cycling Doctor Prescribes a Course
of Conduct for Riders.

Cycling Doctor Prescrfbes Course
of Conduct for Riders.
Says the cycling doctor, one of the
many cycling doctors:
'Let me give ten rules for bicycle
riders to follow. They are good rules
and it will do cyclists good to observe
them strictly. Here they are:
/. In purchasing bicycle take as
much care to have it fityou as you would
in obtaining gown or suit of clothes.
2. Be sure that when sitting upright
you do not have to reach to maintain
the ball of the foot on the pedal during
an entire revolution. In other words,
when the pedal has reached the most
distant point from the body be sure
there is a slight bend in the leg at the
knee.
3. Adjust the handle bars at level
which, when the arms are fully ex-
tended, viii keep the body in an almost
upright position. In riding long dis
tances the handle bars should be
dropped a trife, so as to increase the
leverage by backward as well as a
forward push.
A. Before purchasing a bicycle make
an arrangement with the dealer where
by you may make trials of different
saddles until you find one that is per-
fectly comfortable, for properly-fit-
ting saddle is the most necessary ele-
ment in safe and comfortable riding.
Incline to saddle that is stiff and mod
erately provided with springs, and
which is broad and short, rather than
long and narrow. The most important
object to be attained in the adjustment
of the saddle is to have the pommel high
enough to give the body slight ten
dency to slip backward, thus keeping
the weight off the perineum, as it is
most important that it should be borne
by the gluteal muscles and the tuber-
osities of the isthium.
5. The average woman should never
ride a wheel geared higher than 60
inches; the average man higher than 70
inches. Remember that the higher the
gear the greater the power required to
move a given distance.
6. After having become accustomed to
the use of a bicycle, never take a ride so
long that good nights sleep will not
entirely remove all traces of fatigue.
Twenty-Five to so miles day, according
to the surface of the country, should
not be exceeded by the average rider.
z. Always walk up steep hill; it will
save your heart.
8. Never ride simply with the idea of
arriving at the earliest possible mo-
ment at given destination; ride for the
pleasure that is to be had from it.
o. While riding use the same sense in
drinking that you would in watering
horse. Also, like horse, stick closely
to water as a beverage. Remember that
alcohol stimulates the heart and circu-
lation in much the same way exercise
does, and that If you use it in any form
while wheeling the reaction is speedy
and long-reaching.
10. Never ride on a full stomach; it
will interfere with the hearts action
and respiration.
''If bicycle riders will follow those
rules" says the cycling physician. Il
am sure they will all enjoy the exercise
more than if they violated them"
