EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED SOLDIERS,
Members of the County board Discuss
Provisions of New ode

Members of the County BOARD Discuss
Provisions of New Code.
One of the matters that came UP for dis
cussion at the meeting last week of the as
SCISSORS OF Pottawattamie county was the
$500 exemption allowed old soldiers and their
widows.
According to Attorney General Remiey.
the new code greatly extends the exemptions
which may be claimed on behalf of the
homesteads OF the veterans OF 81 Of their
widows. The attorney general has prepared
and issued for distribution to county audit
ors, through the state auditor. a careful
opinion defining the measures of these ex-
emptions. A copy Of this opinion has Just
been received by County Auditor Innes. In
the cases OF widows the attorney general
says: If the claimant Is a widow of a
union soldier or sailor. then she Is entitled
to the $500 exemption. irrespective Of what
may be her financial standing or what
other property she may have" This enlarges
the class entitled to the exemption very
materially from the prior law.

The use of the octopus as food is,

ents, not a new idea. In the fish mar
ket in Jersey this year the blue
gowned women with white starched
caps who preside over wet slate slabs,
usually covered with little heaps Of
wrinkles, limpets, aumers, and razor
fish, have already added the octopus
to their usual stock. you may have
your choice of him." writes the CORE
spondent, "either dried and smoked to
the semblance of scraps of waste
leather, or fresh and shimmering, a
tangle of repulsive, formless members.
They say that he is good-'Ah! yes!
the cat-o-nine-tail he is very good,
m~'seu'-but they say the same Of the
limpet and the spider crab. You ask
for lobster, the supreme delicacy OF
Jersey. All! no! there is no lobster,
m'seu; the cat-o-nine-tail he have
eaten him ALL This is how they ex-
plain the absence of Holsters in all the
picturesque island hooks where a lob

TYPICAL CLIFF DWELLER.

coveries that they made are merely an
indication of the great discoveries that
might be made If the cliff dwellings
were excavated or the scale and with
the t~horoughness with which Pompei
has been explored.
The rooms showed that the cliff
jewellers deserted the house in a hurry
They left many articles of interest be
hind which they would have taken
along II their departure had been less
precipitous. Pottery decorated with
unique geometrical designs and glazed
in a skillful manner, household uten-
sils, smoking pipes fashioned in the
shape of prickly pears or cactus. and
other articles were found in those two
rooms. The abundance Of turkey and
dog bones showed that those animals
were kept in the houses, and attached
to each roof in the communal building
are small turkey corrals four by five
feet and connected with low archways
with the living rooms, just high
enough for a turkey to slip through.
In the burial places the remains OF
the ancient race are found invariably
covered with turkey and dog bon IS.
The bodies are buried in a STOPPING po-
sition, with the heads between the
knees and the feet of all pointing to-
ward a common center.
The most important find was that
Of nine skeletons, which are proof that
the ancient cliff jewellers were not In
dians, but were allied to the Caucasian
race. The forehead of the skull is well
formed, while the posterior part Of the
head is almost fiat. In the course OF
evolution, ii is supposed. the incisors
of the cliff jewellers were transformed
into grinders, for the cliff jewellers
we're evidently vegetarians. In their
houses are found corn, and they evil
IDENTIFY grew and smoked tobacco.
Some skulls that were found in cliff
dwellings on the ella had long red
hair. In that part of New Mexico were
also found monuments with inscrip-
tions much like those on Chinese mon
uments, while in other ruins were dis
covered remains of monuments of the
Egyptian type.
The reason for the sudden evacuation
Of Santa Clara cliff dwellings is found
in the immense stream of lava which
poured forth from a crater only a few
miles from Santa Fee and covered many
square miles with lava and ashes. L

In Moments of Peril.

Darwin has shown that the fear OF
man is an acquired, and not a native
Instinct, and from this we may infer
that with other acquired instincts it
would more readily be lost or fall into
allegiance than those instincts that are
Unborn. With strange surroundings
animals tend to lose these acquired in
stincts, as is well shown by the cow
ardice of the house dog in a strange
house, the unruliness Of the horse in
strange harness, and the like. The
land bird in mid-ocean, being bereft of
its accustomed landmarks, loses with
them its acquired instincts until the
sight Of land restores its confidence In
itself and gives 1t back ar it's faculties.
A tameness from a similar cause has
often been noticed in wild animals
during commissions of nature, floods
and fire, and it is we'll known that
panic, such, for example, as is pro-
duced by a fire at sea, falling into the
water or a pestilence will bring into
allegiance all a mans acquired instincts
and reduce him to the primitive in,
stincts of a brute beast.
