MEN WITH HORNS.
Curious Skeletons Unearthed Near
Toledo,

While workmen in the employ of the
Ferguson Construction company were
excavating for the Toledo and Ottaws
Beach Rs1lway q few DAYS ago thew
unearthed bed of old pottery and .
plumber OF skeletons. The point where
the discovery WAS made is about one
and one third miles from the CITY
limits, on the city side of Ottawa
Greek The contractors found . ridge,
or mound, on the proposed line of the
through it.
In the solid yellow clay, 1t q depth
OF about eight feet. they came across
the relics. Three SIX ele tors, undoubt-
edly of atorigines, were brought to
the surface, aid an arm, evidently of q
giant, was among the bones. 1t wss in
q good state of preservation, and had
belonged TO man fully seven feet in
ne,Rht. While the workmen we're
digging out other relics, some farmer
picked up the arm and made of with
it. -
A strange feature of the discovery II
that none of the skeletons are perfect.
bones are entirely missing from all of
tnem, The skulls are curioue. On
Two OF them. just where the edge OF the
ears would come on either side, are
oony protu berances which curl forward
not unlike horns. Several tcmahaw ks
nave been picked ur, ard the men are
expecting so come across more relics
wnen the road is widened At this

over to this side, but will let Cuba go
by default, and tell General Blarco be
must get along then best he can, which
meaus surrender about July, barring
unforeseen contingencies.
Spain may compel the United States
to cross over to the other side and at
tack her there, by throwing up the
game on this side, and starting in to
wipe out our commerce, and more
over, the German emperor may take it
into his head to engage in the fight,
and tell the United States she must
not lombard ithe Spanish cities. Then
we will want to DO prepared for q pos
sible struggle with Germany or any
other European power that may ally
herself with Spain. There is no tell
ing what may turn up over there, for
the continental powers appear to be
ready to prop up the totteriug throne
of that driveling infant Alphonso
rather than see monarchy imperilled.
Even in France the government at
present is q military despotism, and
the fall of the republic .is merely the
matter of q brief time.
When asked whether France would
not be likely to side with the United
States if Germany sided with Spain,
General Mills was doubtful, 80 strong
ly do monarchical interests unite on
the continent. General Mills thought
it just as we'll for preparation to con-
tinue as if a years conflict were Looked
for. The mere fact that the country
was in shape TO meet anything that
might be brought against it, would un-
oubtedly have its effect on the con-
tinentsl powers General Mills had q
good laugh over the fairy stories that
are wired to the papers from enter
prising correspondents, aud was not
surprised that the govern
ment had determined to stop the
