Mr.. BIeELoWs ROAD.
Committee on Railroads Gives Three Days
for More Evidence,

Boston, Feb. 25-The committee on
petition that the Worcester and Shrews-
bury Railroad Company may have three
years longer in which to build its line
across Lake Quinsigamond, reckoning
from June H. Charles M Thayer ap-
peared for the petitioners, and City
Solicitor Rugg in remonstrance for the
city of Worcester. Mr.. Thayer said that
the railroad was largely controlled by
H. H. Bigelow, who has been a public
benefactor in many ways. He has
made Lake Quinsigamond an eminently
respectable place for many people to
visit, and has given a park of so acres.
In 1892, the railroad was given the right
to cross the lake on the causeway. He
had the route promptly surveyed for a
steam road to Marlboro. But, owing to
hard times, he got in 1885 an extension
of three years, and now he wants three
years more, for he has not been able
to build. Times have not been good
Another company has been given the
right to cross the causeWay.
Meanwhile, the project for new
bridge has come to the front and de-
ranged Mr.. BigeloW's plans. It is i'm
portant to have closer connection be-
tween the large places of Worcester and
Marlboro.
Mr. Thayer explained in detail the
roundabout way of getting freight and
passengers from one place to the other.
He was surprised that the city remon-
strated The existing acts are conser-
vative and guard the city completely
They require the railroad to bear its
share of the cost of the new bridge
across the lake. in case one shall be
built. No individual or corporation will
be hurt a particle by granting the ex-
tension of time. The Worcester and
Marlboro Street Railway Company is
concerned A corporation of Samuel
Winslow and others was given by the
city the right to cross the causeway, but
it never exercised that right H. H.
Bigelow was present but was not asked
to testify
Solicitor Rugg said that Mr.. Thayer
had left out the main part of the story.
The city council is unanimously opposed
to granting the petition. July l. 1896, this
corporation leased its entire belongings

much that I purchased another one, and
even third bottle, when, to my great Joy,
found myself as we'll as ever / was in my
life; and furthermore, have remained So"
In further conversation he said
"Dr. Greenes Nervura is a great medi-
cine. There is no humbug about it 1t
was made to cure, and it does curel No
one need be afraid to use it."
Day by day he praises this wonderful
medicine to his friends and neighbors, as
the one sure way to regain their health.
The word of this widely-known states
man should have the most convincing
weight with the public, but when we have
added to this the fact that the Northamp-
ton DAILY Gazette, a newspaper of the
highest standing, vouches editorially for
the truth of every word, and its editor
states that he has personally investigated
lall the facts of the marvellous cure, there
should be no hesitation by the people to
use this great medical discovery, this won
derful curer of disease, DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. 1t is fact,
no longer to be doubted, that this remedy
cures that it makes those who use it
strong and we'll = that it is the surest and
most certain cure for disease in all the
world, and the very best spring medicine
possible to take.
1t is not patent medicine, but the pre-
scription of the most successful specialist
in curing diseases, DR.. Greene, of "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass. He has the
largest practice in the world, and this grand
medical discovery is the result of his vast
Experience. The great reputation of DR..
Greene is a guarantee that this medicine
will cure, and the fact that he can be con-
suited by anyone at any time free of charge,
personally or by letter, gives absolute as
Isurance of the beneficial action of this won
derful medicine. Do not fail to use it!

paper, personally investigated the facts Of
this wonderful cure, and his widely-reac
editorial states the details of the cure ex-
actly as they occurred, giving Hon. Mr.
Crouch's own words.
i Following is the editorial in full:
] Learning that great cure had been eff
fected in the case of Representative Chas
S. Crouch, of Northampton, Mass by DR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
a reporter took occasion to call on Mr.
Crouch and talk with him about it, anc
among the thousands of testimonials give1
to this world-renownedm medicine, none ewil
be more widely read or give greater weigh
than this one coming from SO noted mai
as Representative Crouch.
Hon. Mr.. Crouch said:

With open arms Senator Cook well
coined the Boston man into the ranks of
those who with himself believed that
the commission is unable to meet the

were concerned. The bill was ordered

and 300 feet wide. The slopes of its
sides were regular and faced with ma
sonry and there was stairway leading to
its summit. 1t may have been he site
of vast temple or OF series of public
buildings. At the opposite end of the
city there was rectangular basin of
about the same size which once formed
great amphitheatre where public gat her
ings We're held and religious ceremonies
performed.
''No reliable proofs are left OF what a
Zapotecan dwelling was like. Excava-
lions of temples, causeways, pillars,
arches, and other magnificent public
structures, and searching study of the
plans and general appearance of the city
have furnished the most convincing data
for the scientific meaning with W hich the
explorations have clothed the masses OF
hitherto meaningless stone and dust
Everywhere there was found proof that
the Zapotecans were peace loving peo
pie who must have been governed by an
elaborate code of laws and customs. They
had literature, too, for we found proofs
and traces of it, though Of course, there
was no time to go extensively into that
phase OF the explorations. Their religion
must have developed to an advanced
stage, for we found proof hat they did
not offer up live sacrifices in their reli-
gious fetes. Doubtless further work will
bring to light other important and inter-
esting facts about the lives and customs
OF these people, whom we may justly look
upon as our earliest predecessors on this
continent. Just how extensive these dis
coveries may prove to be it is impossible to
say at the present time.
Ever since the attention of nthropol
ogists has been called to this hemisphere
as field for archaeological study, the
great question has been to settle conjec-
lures as to how the prehist ORIG tribes and
nations sprang up in America. The the
DRY most widely accepted is based on the
hypothesis that the vanguard OF human
migration to this continent was composed
of wandering tribes from Asia, who
crossed the Behring straits into Alaska,
and who, meandering southwark to
North America, finally settled in Mexico.
By this theory South America was pop
ulated partly by subsequent migrations
from the same source and partly by sec
ondary ones from the Mexican settlers.
1t is possible that further Zapotecan ex-
plorations will settle this question which
for 400 years has been a scientific riddle,
and that the phonetic writings, burial
customs, and architectural peculiarities
brought to light on and about Monte AL
ban may disclose the origin and even the
progenitors themselves of the first Amer
leans.

accounts in the newspapers about mothers
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills for
children in cases of kidney and urinary
diseases. This induced me to give them
to my 14-year old daughter, who suffered
from kidney and urinary weakness ever
since she was years of age, complaining
of her back hurting her. headaches and
stomach trouble. She had very severe at
tacks of it on an average of once q month
and was confined to her bed often for a
number of days. When | was in Ellis

had been work of the greatest difficulty
to follow the long course of the buried
pipe, but probably by no other means
could the ancient city have been discov-
cred, hidden as it was By thick growths
on all sides.
The sides OF the mountain, on the sum
init OF which stood the city, had been ar
titicially terraced, the top had been razed
and fortified on all sides till it was i'm
pregnable. The temple itself was fine
piece OF architecture. Beyond it on the
broad area OF the mountain top, We're the
crumbing ruins Of phitheatres, pal
aces and other public buildings. Streets
and passageways We're exactly as they had
been during the long centuries since
their desertion. Here on this terraccd
mountain, overlooking great stretch of
country at its foot, vas at last found the
lost capital of the ZepotecAn nation, at
one time probably the rulers over most of
the other peoples OF the continent, GER
tainiy their leaders in art, civilization
and industry
The mountain on which the skeleton
of this prehistoric metropolis was brought
to view is marked on the Mexican gov
ernment maps as Monte Alban. It's
browning wall is completely hidden by
the surrounding growth of lofty trees,
and it is so difficult of access that it has
never been attacked or even seriously
thought Of as a field Of exploration. That
there were ruins upon this summit was
known before Mr.. Saville's visit, but they
were supposed to be only the remains Of
some rude Indian fortress instead, as has
been proved, the wreck of stately and
civilized city
"Zachila was, in all proba bility, the an
cient name of the city on Monte Alban,"
says Mr.. Savilie "Not very far away
there exists a little village which now
bears the same name. The spot was STRAIT
egically an ideal place for great capital
city in the troublous times when it must
have existed. Its situation made it an
impregnable fortress. The mountain
stands at the intersection of the three
broad valleys, Oaxaca, Eta and Jalplan.
Thus it commanded a wide view in all
directions, and, being isolated by these
valleys from the surrounding mountains
and looming high above them all, it kept
perpetual guard over all the country
round.
CHARACTER OF THE PEOPLE.
"Of course, my work did not extend
over sufficient length Of time to deter
mine the exact extent of the culture,
wealth, and civilization of the people
who once inhabited the city, but they
must have been far in advance of most of
those with whom we have become in a
degree acquainted through other mounds
and ruins. The city was certainly one of
considerab Bile size, extending over several
square miles. We came upon stone aque-
ducts over six feet wide. In the different
parts of the plain are big mounds which,
on investigation, proved to be the crum-
bled remains of what were once great
public buildings. The frequent earth
quakes Of that region, which probably
caused the destruction Of the city, have
shaken these once important structures
into mere heaps OF dust and debris.
