Madison. Aug.


A farmers boy near Anderson's
Mills, about II miles from Fennl-
more, Grant county. recently made
discovery of the greatest importance
to the biologists of the state IN that
of the remains of a giant mastodon.
It's skeleton is now IN the science
hall. Like many finds it was made by
the merest discovery. The boy was
on his way to a field after dinner
when he saw protruding from the soil
where it had been uncovered what
seemed the point of giant horn. He
little realized that he had stumbled
upon a greater prize in the eyes OF
scientist than had it been the golden
armor of Paris. He tried to unearth
out tools and went on to his labors
of the field for the afternoon. He
reported his discovery and number
Of men went to work and soon laid
bare some bones whose magnitude
fairly amazed them. Unfortunately
they did not realize the great scien-
tifc value of the find and crowbars
were employed to pry out the bones,
thus crushing many of them. The
most unfortunate accident of this
nature was the breaking in two of a
giant tusk feet long, which was in
an excellent state of preservation.
News Of the discovery reached the
authorities at the state university
through the Democrat, and DIR. E. R.
Buckley of the geological department
hurried to the scene and succeeded in
purchasing the remains. He gathered
up the bones and took them to Mad
ison that they might be put through
some preserving process before the
action Of the air should disintegrate
them.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 4.-The

organization Of their state convention
Wednesday afternoon and adjourned
till today, when nominations will be
made. In taking the gavel as per-
manent chairman Senator Fairbanks
made an address endorsing the ia
tional administration in every partic-

territorial extension as follows:
Having achieved its manhood, this
republic, under God, is enteriAs
upon its greatest period of power,
happiness and responsibility. Real
izing the mighty future of wealth,
prosperity and duty, which even now
is upon us, we favor the extension of
the American navy as a power in our
commerce which shall be extensive,
and the establishment of coaling sta
tons and naval rendezvous when
necessary. The platform recon-
mends the construction of the Mica
raguan canal under the immediate
direction and exclusive control Of the
! government and endorses the money
! plank of the St. Louis convention.

MANY CONDOLENCES.
Prince Bismarck Unable to Answer
the Mourners Singly.

Hamburg, Aug. 4.-The Hamburg
NachrichteQ publishes the following
statement, signed by Prince Herbert
Bismarck:
The numerous expressions of deep
est affection and cordial sympathy,
which testify to the imperishable
memory Of my great father, are be-
coming so overwhelming in extent
that it appears impossible to thank
the mourners singly, even to the end
Ct my own life. From all five con-
tinents Of the globe, the sorrow OF
cur family bowed over the coffin is
re-echoed in touching sympathy, and
it grieves me to be unable to answer
every manifestation Of this feeling.
I beg the German newspapers to
grant space for these words: In the
name of the nearest relatives, l
thank, with my whole heart, all who,
by words of comfort or floral tributes
from those we have never seen, have
given expression to the sorrow which
fills our land"

DEMORALIZED TROOPS AT SAN
TIAGO COMING HOME.
ARMY OFFICERS RELIEVED
They Are Pleased That the True
Condition Of American Soldiers in
Cuba Did Not Become known
Before Spain Made Overtures for
Peace-Crisis Now Passed.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The army
officers are greatly relieved to know
from the Santiago dispatches that
what appears to have been great
danger to the American arms has
been safely passed. The report of
the American commanders at San
tiago, including all the. major gen
erals and division and brigade COM
manders, made public in the news
dispatches, gave for the first time
to the public the news of the terribly
demoralized condition of the Amer
lean army. If this state of affairs
had been known week ago, most
serious consequences might have
followed. The Spanish government
might have been excited to refrain
from making peace overtures and to
prolong their resistance. The pub
licity given to these reports is most
strongly deprecated by almost every
official of the administration, but the
American army at Santiago is being
loaded upon transports as rapidly as
possible, and it is hoped that within
few days the bulk of the
army will be at sea,
bound for Montauk point, L. |. In
the place Of these weary and battle
worn troops there will be five regi-
ments of immunes, now due at San
tiago, supposed to be proof against
yellow fever, and at any rate gifted
with a fresh store of energy and
health to draw upon. Gen. Miles has
with him in Porto Rico a force prob
ably equal to the actual demands of
the campaign there, so that the heavy
reinforcements now on the way to
that island or about to be dispatched
can be safely diverted to Santiago or
any other Cuban point at short no
tice, if occasion should make it neces-
sary. With the knowledge Of these
facts the officials breathe easier and
feel toleIably safe as to the fl ire
conditions at Santiago. 1t is SIP
posed that the government censOrS at
New York made an effort to prevent
communication Of the facts stated in
the Santiago dispatches to Europe, but
it is unlikely that they succeeded,
inasmuch as the same news, being
freely given out at Santiago, undoubt-
eddy must have reached Kingston,
Jamaica, and been transmitted to
Europe without censorship at the
hands of our government. It is said
to be over-stating the case to say that
Shafter was rebuked for allowing the
publication of the 'round robin fol-
the secretary of war confined his com
munication to the simple inquiry as
to whether the general had given
publicity to the Roosevelt letter and
the round robin but it is certainly
a fact that henceforward an effort will
be made to guard such information
more closely from the public.
