STRANGE YARN OF DISCOVERY.
Prehistoric Ruins Under the Soil of
Arkansas.


Arkansas.
Jackson, Miss, March 22.-Major Lamar
Fontaine, prominent civil engineer o.
Lyons, Miss, tells a remarkable story o.
the discovery, in Arkansas, of what ne de.
clares was once the metropolis of the pre-
historic Mound Builders and the largest
city in the world. He found these ruins
the major says, while making recent sur
vey.
ION direct line east and west for thir-
ty-fve miles," says Major Fontaine, land
as far as my eye could reach, the ruins con-
tinued. Turning north for a distance OF
twenty-five miles the ruins did not end
Computing the area surveyed by me. and
estimating that each dwelling contained
five inhabitants, l found that 100000
people had their homes in this great city
This city is spread over three counties
Desha Drew, and Ashley-in Arkansas, and
was the grand metropolis of that prehisto-
ric race called the Mound Builders. These
people numbered countless millions, and
the Yazoo Valley of the Mississippi was
their field The entire delta OF the YazoC
was in high state of cultivation. Every
acre was utilized for agricultural purposes
Thousands of canals were dug and used by
them for irrigation and navigation, and
countless pottery factories show that they
manufactured superior articles of earthen-
ware for domestic purposes.
Many acres are covered six feet deep
with the bones of these unknown people.
Their teeth, yet sound and perfect, can be
picked up by the hatful at this distant day.
They were small race, and their anatomy
is precisely the same as that of the Chi
nese in every particular. They came to
this country from the overcrowded regions
of China. | have traced their footsteps
from the shores of Kamtchatka and Sbe-
ria, across the Aleutian Isles down to the
western shores of America, across the con-
tinent to the valley of the Mississippi and
many of its tributaries to the northern
confines of Mexico. There they cease. No
trace could / find in South America
Coming back TO the Yazoo de,ta, We
find that 80 per cent of all the streams, o.
bayous, that flow through it were dug by
these people, and all the gateways point
to the great metropolis beyond the Mis-
sissippi in Arkansas.
Along those bayous are many mounds
or banks. of shells of an extinct biva We.
These shells were brought in boats and
barges from the shores of Lake Borgne,
below the present city of New Orleans, and
there, on the shores of Lake Borgne. they
had their great storehouses and maya
zines of shells.
These extinct prehistoric people gath
cred these shells, transported from up the
Mississippi River to the delta of the Yazoo
and used them in the manufacture of their
pottery. / have found as many as eighteen
jars filled with these shells in one boat
followed from cypress tree

tracted some attention among scientists,

BERRY'S LIFE IN JAIL.
He Does Not Appear Troubled About
His Fate

Baltimore, March 22.-Berry was more
composed yesterday at the city Jail, where
he was brought for safe-keeping and did
not seem TO be greatly worried about his
probable fate. Father Boone, of Loyola
College, visited him in the morning and
administered spiritual consolation. remain
ing some time. He promised to get a
prayerbook for Berry, which he asked for.
One of the directors of Cheltenham Re
formatory School for Colored Boys. while
at the Jail on other business, stopped in
Berry's cell and talked with him about
his statement that the institution is not
a fit place for boys. Members of the grand
jury also took a look at Berry while at
the jail Berry was very much tickled with

Electric Country Cab Line.

New York. March Pit announced yes
terday IN Wall Street that the New York Electric
Vehicle transportation Company would at an
early date establish a post road service between
New York and Albany. The only cause for de-
lay was said TO be the inability to obtain the
necessary cabs and storage batteries, so great
is the demand The roads are good over this
route, and it is calculated that the expense of
providing stations where storage batteries NAV
be recharged will be comparatively small Ii is
believed that speed of twenty miles an hour
can be readily maintained in the country and
that the trip can be very economically made and
at the same time prove a novelty TO many who
may desire to avail themselves of this route

Haskell, were discharged from West Point
Downes and Van Schiak will not be COM
missioned. Haskell. of the class of 1902, al
though discharged, was appointed by pc
tition from his entire class and the

WHEN PETER announced himself as
ga republican again he did not
surprise nybody. Readers of the
DEMOCRAT will recall the fact that we
have always spoken of PETER as re-
publican in disguise. Most demo-
Gratis have 80 considered him as such.
He was the great champion of the
little that was undemocratic in the
populists party as set forth in the
Omsha platform. He laid great stress
upon the government warehouse
idea and other things that we're the
embodiment or paternalisn. Being
an ultra high protective tariff man.
he still to some extent concealed this
sentiment from the public, but be.
trayed his people when in the senate
by voting It. It was when he voted
against the Wilson bill, and against
the income tax measure that the eyes
of many of the populists were opened
to the fact that he was billy goa
in sleeps clothing.
