Corbett does not think it will be neces-

and regain his lost laurels- He will start
in to train within a few days, and says
when he enters the ring he will be in bet

FUNSTON RECOMMENDS
The appointment of officers, But

pointed.

A cablegram from Col. Fred Funston
at Manila, received by Governor Stan
ley today recommends the following
promotions:
Glasgow of Republic county, to fill
the vacancy caused by the removal of
Captain J. E. Towers of Topeka.
T. G. Hauserman of LeavenWorth, to
be first lieutenant.
Samuel Hopkins of Leavenworth to
be second lieutenant.
The promotions are not likely to be
made as Governor Leedy appointed
Howard Scott of Company G to sue
coed Towers and forwarded the COM
missions by mail. 1t is believed that
the letter has not reached Funston,
hence his cablegram.

INTERESTING FIND,
Workmen At the Court
House Unearth Old
Corner Stone.

Workmen engaged in undermining
the foundations of the old stone court
house yesterday unearthed the corner
stone of the building, laid with
impressive ceremony Oct. 8, 1S4S. The
discovery was entirely unexpected, and
the stone, with its valuable records,
might have been carted away unno-
ticed, but that one of the workmen saw
heavy leaden box protruding from
the under side when the stone was dis
lodged from its foundation
The box is massively constructed, and
there is no indication that the hermeu-
ical sealing has been broken or injured.
The box will he handed to the county
commissioners, who will decide what
disposition will be made of its contents.
According to the records the box con-
tains silver plate, on the reverse side
of which is inscribed map of Worces-
ter county with every town marked and
the population of each enrolled, accord
ing to the census of 1910. The face of
the plate is inscribed as follows:--
This corner stone of the court house
of the county of Worcester was laid
| Oct. g. 1913. William Crawford, David
| Davenport, Charles Thurher, county
commissioners; Stephen Davis, Jerome
Gardner, special county commissioners.

ratio Nelson Tower David Woodland;
lilly Raymond, builders. Lemuel Shaw,

sepl G. Kendall, clerk of the courts.

All of them were near and a little
| northward from the spot where this
plate is deposited, and where an edifice

In addition to this plate, which is his
tory, the metallic box contains copies
of the Massachusetts, Spy, the Worces-
ter Palladium, the National Aegis, the
Worcester Waterfall, the Barre Ga
zette, the Fitchburg Sentinel, the Prac
tical Christian and the directory of the
city of Worcester. There were also a
number of coins Of the United States
with specimen of every denomination
in the series Of copper, nickel and silver
coins. The disposition Of this valuable
box will be entirely at the disposal of
the county commissioners, and it is not
improbable that the Antiquarian Socie-

they are found in good condition.
