CAN MUMMIFY BODIES.
Undertaken Claims to Have Made
the Discovery OF the Old ESyp-
tian Secret,

DES MONIES, To-, Feb. 6.-W. f.
Pettis, an undertaken Of this city,
claims he has discovered the old Egyp
tian secret of embalmIng bodies. About
the middle of November, 1886, John
Allen, a colored whitewasher living
near the railroad tracks. was found
dead IN his bed. The coroner held an
inquest, decided that the man had
died OF heart disease or some kindred
disorder, and the thing was so reported
in the papers. In week the case had
been forgotten. Thursday $50 people
viewed John Aliens body at Harbach' g
undertaking rooms on Third street.
The body had been embalmed with a
peculiar fluid compounded by Pettis.
It was In perfect condition and as
hard as a rock.
About year and half ago Mr.. Pet
tbs went to work to find, If possible.
some combination of fluid which would
perform the work of embalming ac-
cording TO the Egyptian Ideal and
practice. Most fluids in use have as a
basis mercury and arsenic. Mr.. Pettis
wished to find a fluid containing moth
ing poisonous and which would at the
same time be a perfect embalmer.
If Aliens body Is a criterion Pettis
has been successful. The body was
shipped to Dubuque and exhibited at
the state convention of undertakers.
Hundreds of undertakers IN the state
have examined 1t. All the physicians
and college faculties Of Des Moines
have seen it,
The body was kept in rear room
of the establishment on First street
for more than a year. There was no
stove in the room and the body was
subjected to every varying change in
temperature all summer and during
two winters. Last week 1t was re-
moved to the establishment on Third
street, where it now is.
The Importance of the new fluid lies
IN the fact that it not only actually
preserves the body, but it is not pois-
onous and cannot affect the vital or
! gans to make postmortem examination
for the purpose of detecting poison
used to kill of no value, as is now
frequently the case. The body Of the
dead man is perfectly solid. 1t is not
exactly like rock. but 1t is like a solid
muscle of healthy man. The feat
ures are in perfect condition. For
years scientists have been trying to
fathom this secret of the Egyptian
race Mr.. Pettis believes he has dis
covered it, He exhibits one fair sam
pie to prove his claim.

URGENT CALL FOR TROOPS.
Reports of Threatened Clash with
Canadians on the Klondike
Trail.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Febz6-A special
to the Tribune from Butte, Mont, says:
Informatio received from Lethbridge,
on the Canadian boundary, is to the
effect that great excitement has been
caused there by orders received from
the Dominion government that every
man of the mounted police holds him
self in readiness to proceed to the Yu-
kon at moments notice for temporary
duty.
Supt. Dean has received notice to go
to Mcleod to receive; Maj. Steele, who
was ordered to the Yukon, and had
left for that place before the arrival
of the second message. Five men were
also ordered TO the Yukon, and left yes
terday.
The orders which were received by
wire by the officers in command Of the
division are said to be due to the ex-
istence of serious trouble between the
Canadian and United States authori-
tie, in Alaska, relative to the attempt
by the Americans to get provisions into
the Yukon free of duty, ostensibly for
the relief of the distress but in reality

PREFERS A HERMIT LIFE.
Aged Resident of Wisconsin Refuses
to Live In Comfort With
RoI

GRAND RAPIDS, Wis, Feb. 6.-Liv-
Ing In hut near this place is a hermit
named Elvin Barker. He was born in
Vermont, is we'll educated and came
west in 1852. He operated a sawmill
at Four-Mile creek for many years. He
lost his property through business re-
verses. His hut is situated upon high
knoll, with a heavy growth of jack pine
and oak as a background, while at the
SIDES and front is shown that at one
time this place was cultivated and the
hut occupied by family. II faces a
well-traVeled road. along which many
teams pass and repass during the day.
Very few people who travel this road
or live in Grand Rapids realize that in
one part of this building resides an old
bachelor lightweight years of age, al
most blind and quite poverty-stricken.
A recent visitor to the hut thus de-
scribes it:
THE room black with smoke; an old
fashioned cook stove with the door
wide open and pieces Of green wood
about six feet long with the ends in
serted in the stove, the other ends rest
ing upon box beside the stove; a plain
be ard bunk in one corner Of the room
in which are laid some straw and old
ragged blankets which serves as bed;
common dry goods box upon which
rests a common, old-fashioned wagon
seat, these two set in front of the stove
and serve as the only chair and cup
board in the place; in this box are kept
the only dishes and eatables. This con-
stitutes his entire outfit. There was
no evidence of any floor, and the place
was Uttered with hay, twigs and rub
bish of all kinds. Friends interested
themselves in this man last summer,
fitted him out with new clothing and
a ticket to relatives in Illinois, sending
him there, where they hoped he would
be properly cared for in his remaining
days. He was cOntented only a few
weeks, when he returned to this locality
and found solace in the old scenes and
associations of better days"

Many Of Their MainStayS.

CHICAGO Feb. 6.-A special to the Chroni-
Gle from Milwaukee says: The public schools
OF this city have lost many OF the best teach
ers during the past few months. The matri-
monial fever seems to have struck the force.
The designations of those vino intend to be
married have been numerous and frequent.
This week there were twelve.
Supt. Sefert thinks the conditions are due
to an improvement in times. Many of the
old-tne teachers say that the exodus Is due
to the school law and the action OF the
present board OF school directors It dis
missed number OF the old and tried teachers
Of the city at the beginning OF the school
year. and those who remained claim that no
one is certain OF retaining her position. that
they are in a constant state of fear and that
the state Of matrimony Is preferable to this.
