HUMAN BODY
Discovered on the Banks of the
Missouri.
DEATH WAS A TRAGIC ONE
A Bullet Hole Through the Head-Fea-
lures Are So Perfect That the
Body Could Be Iden-
titled.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.


Livingston. Sept. IA petrified hui
man body was brought down from yell
lowstone Park on this evenings train
great deal of secrecy is maintained in
connection with the fossil, and it is I'M
der lock and key, hidden away in a
cellar. 1t is owned at present by ex-
Mayor A. w. Miles, who purchased it
from the person who found it. 1t was
not found in the park. but was discov-
cred on the banks of the Missouri river,
between Forts Benton and McGinnis.
The discoverer appeared to have little
idea of the value of the find and freight
ed the body 700 miles to the upper gey-
ser basin in the park expecting to make
money exhibiting the find to tourists.
He learned later that the fossil was
worth several thousand dollars, but
seemed to have a poor idea of business
and refused a check for $1,000 from
Harry Bush, president of the Bear
Gulch Mining company.
Mr. Miles, who knew the owners &C.
centricities, went to the park with a
small sack of gold coin, and bought the
prize for considerably less than the
first offer. Those of the park tourists
who are learned in such matters say
it is the finest fossil in existence. Ehe
petrified remains are those of a man
five feet eight inches in height, in
their present state weighing 1865 pounds.
Every part of the body is perfectly
preserved. The hair on all parts of
the body is plainly marked, and two
teeth show plainly through the slightly
parted lips. The hands are tied across
the breast with strap, although pet
rifed, and one leg is drawn up in a
posture of pain, bullet hole through
the head from the back to the fore
head, telling the death was a tragic
one. The features are so perfect that
the remains could easily be identified
by one who knew the deceased in life.
Mr.. Miles bought the body as spec
ulation.

ODD FELLOWS GATHERING.
The Diamond Jubilee Anniversary of the
Order.

Detroit. Mich, Sept. 1.-THE officials
and the rank and file of American Odd
Fellowship who have thus far arrived
in the city passed a quiet sunday pre-
Hminary to the opening of the diamond
jubilee anniversary of the order. There
are already on hand some 400 of the
higher officials, including all the off,
GERS of the sovereign grand lodge, dele
gates to the grand lodge sessions, state
grand lodge officers, grand encampment
officers and officers of the Rebekah
branch: besides these about 1000 of the
rank and file have thus far arrived
from various states.
Religious services were held to-day
in the First Congregational church.
The central portion of the church audi
torium was reserved for Odd Fellows
and their ladies. several hundred of
whom arrived from headquarters by
special trolley train. Rev. Nehemiah
Boynton, d. D., pastor of the church,
preached upon brotherhood
The speaker defined the various re-
lations of brotherhood inclusive, first
of family relationship. secondly. of
particular class. and finally the en-
larged idea of brotherhood as exem-
plified by Jesus Christ, who brought
brotherhood up to its full realization,
all men to Him being brethren, ire
spective of residence, religion, color,
wealth or other circumstances.
Jesus" said the speaker, looked
beneath mems varied defects and found
therein his brother men for whom he
offered His life. You can only carry
true brotherhood into the world in pro-
portion to the essence of brotherhood
which exists within our own souls. 1t
is not enough for you to send your
check from your lodge to the physician
and the undertaken. Take away your
inspiration and the real brotherliness of
your order will fail. Your institution is
IS years old, but its inspiration was
born 1900 years ago with the infant
who has since been the object of the
worlds affection"
DIR. Boynton declared that the assur-
ing feature of what he termed the
''Dreyfus outrage" lay in the numer-
Gus protests against the verdict, which
showed that the principle and spirit of
brotherhood is nowadays finding an in
depreciation hitherto unequaled.
Work progressed all day on the great
welcoming arch, which will span
Woodward avenue. The hotels have
been crowded since early morning by
incoming Odd Fellows. Tomorrow the
sovereign grand lodge will be formally
welcomed in the Detroit opera house by
Governor Pingree and Mayor Maybury.
Tuesdays feature will be the an
nual reunion of the past grand repre-
sentatives and members of the sover-
eign grand lodge.
Friday and Saturday will be spent
in sight seeing and other pleasures.

CONDITIONS ARE BETTER
But Still Many Destitute Yet to
Be Cared For.
RAILROADS ARE NEEDED
General Wilson's Report on Affairs in
Cuban Provinces-The Revival OF
Agriculture Is Progress
ing Rapidly.

Washington, Sept 1.-THE war de-
partment made public to-day the alb
stract of a report from Gen. ]. p. Will
son, commanding the provinces of Ma
tanzas and Santa Clara.
General Wilson gives large amount
of statistical information regarding
the provinces and their products which
will be of interest to Americans intend
ing to do business in the island.
He says that the social conditions
have been much ameliorated since the
American occupation, but that there are
still a large number of destitute to be
cared for
He says that railroad building will
be cheaper than making wider roads
and recommends one to connect Sancti
Spiritus with Placetas. He says that
this road could be built for $4,000 a
mile, distance of 40 miles. He says
that there are other roads which are
very much needed and there is also
necessity for bridge over the river
Danuji, one of the largest rivers in the
island, which is navigable between
Rodas and the bay of Cienfugoes. He
says by far the most important product
in Santa Clara is sugar, of which the
province furnished IN 1908 AZ pei cent VI
the total exports from the island.
The provinces of Santa Clara and
Matanzas together furnished in 1898 81
per cent of the total sugar production
of Cuba.
The crop of tobacco in Matanzas this
year amounted to $1,000 bales.
General Wilson says the revival of
agriculture has progressed rapidly in
spite of discouraging circumstances.
The people are greatly in need of
draught animals. while pigs. sheep and
fowls have entirely disappeared. The
native mules and horses at present are
the best adapted to local Use owing to
the very bad condition of the roads,
but when this is improved, he says the
American horses would be In demand.
Coffee culture has been almost aban-
doned for number of years. Consid-
cradle interest is now being taken in
it's revival. The value Of sugar land
ranges from SO to $50 an acre, but the
foreign investor will be at a disadvan-
tage as compared with the native in the
execution of titles until responsible
companies are established to look up
deeds and grants.

Pillsbury, a we'll known miller, died in
this city this afternoon at o'clock.
On account of poor health Mr.. Pills
bury went to Europe Dec. /, 1898, and
returned the middle of June While
abroad he consulted with eminent ply
sicians in London, Paris and Jenna
When he landed in New York he was of
the opinion that his health was much
improved, but before leaving the me-
tropolis he consulted other doctors and
since returning he has been a patient
of DR.. Porter of New York and Dr. W.
A Jones of this city. The physicians
agreed that he was suffering from heart
trouble, caused by an enlargement of
the stomach, which in turn was due to
overwOrk and insufficient physical ex-
erCise.
After reaching home he gradually i'm
proved and seemed to be in a fair way
to total recovery. A week ago he took
a trip to southern Minnesota, but on
his return he suffered from nausea.

he has been devoting but about two
hours day to business. He remained
at home nearly all day Saturday Dur
ing Saturday night he complained of
great pain, and physicians were sum
moned. They remained with him
through the night and to-day until a

Lieutenant Cline Was an ohioer in the
French Army.

Chicago, Sept. IA special to the
Chronicle from Vancouver. B. c., says:
Lieutenant Cline was one of the 81
members of the Canadian militia who
returned from the Yukon to-day on the
steamer Alpa. He eagerly asked for
the latest news of the Dreyfus trial.
When told that Dreyfus had been re-
convicted and sentenced to 10 years,
Cline exclaimed:
Good, he deserves more. He is gull
ty, traitor to his country. You see
before becoming British soldier l was
an officer in the French army. | per-
haps spoke hastily, but if you knew
what l know you would not sympathiza
