Two skeletons Found at Greenfield.

Two skeletons Found at Greenfield.
Town workmen under charge of j. W.
Riddell Wednesday discovered the skele-
tons of two human beings in an orchard
on the Dickinson place, off from the road
TO Deerfed, and about 100 feet from the
Green river. One skeleton, which wal re-
markedly well preserved, was only covered
with about 10 inches of earth. The Sec
ond one was covered with about two feet
of earth. The bones were in such a posi-
ton that it was evident that when the
bodies were buried they were not inclosed
in a casket, and the limbs must have been
drawn up. They were taken in charge by
DR.. w. II. Pierce, the medical examiner
A little later he will make some careful
measurements. From cursory examina
ton he is satisfied that they are not the
bones of Indians.

HINSDALE, N. H.
The Methodist Fair.

The ladies of the Calvary Methodist
church held their annual fair and festival
al the town hall Wednesday afternoon and
evening and drew out the typical church
tair crowd. On the east side of the hall a
not turkey supper with all the fixings, was
served and proved a great attraction.
Tastefully decorated booths and tables
were arranged on the west side of the hall.
Near the entrance was the booth and table
OF the Junior Epworth league, where use
full and ornamental articles, pop corn and
carnations were for sale. This was in
charge of Miss Nora Smith with able as
sistants. The apron table was presided
over by Mrs. Harriet Bartlett and Mrs.
VIM. Smith. Fruit and confectionery were
SOLD by Mr.. and Mrs. o. p. Packard. The
fancy goods booth was in charge of Mrs. S.
ii. Mcdonald and Mrs. Henry Dickerman.
Delicious ice cream could be had of Mrs.
Markey and Mrs. Louis Davenport. All
the tables were well patronized, the wares
finding ready sale, although as usual some
remained unsold at the close of the ENTER
tainment and were disposed of at auction
by the popular auctioneer, Charles Stearns.
For the entertainment Walkers art dis-
rama and magic lantern had been secured
and was far above the average. The pic
lures were very clear and liie-like and of a
very varied character. Music and songs
were interspersed. After this exhibit the
popular favorite, M. A. Bickford, gave Sc
lecticns on the banjo.
1t is not at this time known what the
net profits will be, but it is safe to say the
ladies scored a success both socially and
| financially.

demonstration at San Fernando last even

pose of annoying the Americans, as thew

expended quantities Of ammunition. All
the troops fastened to the trenches. I'm

seventeenth regiment, the Twelfth reei-
ment and the Iowa regiment participated
III the engagement, but did not advance
beyond the outposts. After an hour the
F1l1pinos fired rockets, apparently as a
signal to cease firing, but there were
scattering shots all night long, which kept
the Americans under arms.
Inc enemy's loss was not discoverabIe
but was probably small =

shooting only by the flashes of the reb-
els rifles.

General WalkOut Is Threatened to
Take Place Monday.

CHICAGO, July LEADERS of the dis
affected element in the stock yards ex-
pressed themselves today as confident
that there will be a general strike at
the yards Monday. They admit, however,
that nothing will be settled until after
the close of the mass meeting which is to
to be held tomorrow. That the situation
is serious the packers fully realize, and
instructions have been issued to subor-
dinates to give out no information re-
garding the workings Of the plants.
1t was said today the packers were con-
sulting with representatives from the
packing interests in Omaha. Kansas City
and St Louis, regarding the ability of
their plants to handle the packing traffic
II the general strike went into effect Mon
day. NO one could be found who knew
anything about the conference, which is
said to have taken place in the offices
of Armour & Co., at the stock yards. Of
f1cials of the company said they knew
nothing about the conference, and if it
had taken place it was not in their offices.

Rfngling Bros. Try a Peculiar TeIe-
phone Experiment With Simians.

Phohe experiment with S1mianS.
''Shaggers," the largest and smartest
monkey in the collection of simians which
Ringland Bros. will display in their me-
nagerie when they exhibit here Tuesday,
July 25 has been introduced to the tele-
phone. He did not like 1t. 1t puzzled
him, and being unable to solve the mys-
terry he sulked, and appeared to be filled
with unutterabIe disgust
The experiment took place between the
afternoon and evening shows, when no
one but the attendants were around. and
they were concealed from view. A Dor
table test instrument was used for the
experiment, the ear phones being strapped
TO the monkeys head. He objected to
this at first, but when finally adjusted
everybody retired out of sight.
Hello, Shaggers!' the concealed at
tendand said through the telephone 100
feet away.
Shaggers looked surprised. He seemed
to recognize his name and the voice hut
was astonished to see no one He walked
around the cage, peering inquiringly into
every corner and through the bars: then
gave it UP.
Have an apple, Shaggers2" was next
spoken.
Shaggers has a special fondness for an
pies and understood perfectly He look
ed expectant and pleased, but seeing
no apple, nor any person, he again be-
gan a futile search. retiring finally to a
corner, sulky and Disguised
"Bow-wow!' was barked into the
phone in imitation of dog.
NOW Shaggers despises a dog more
than any living thing With bound he
advanced to the bars to look for his on
envy. The bark was repeated, but no dos,
was IN sight and the puzzled expression
on Shaggers' face was indescrfbablv
funny.
About this time Shaggers iscovered
mat trick was being played on him
ana ne showed his good sense in the fact
that. satisfied the solution was bevond
his comprehension, he relocated it to +ha
realm of the unknowable and troubled
MS mead no more about it. From that
time on no barking of unseen dogs. no
oilers of apples, nor noises shouted
through the phone, which must have
smote his ear drum like 4 clap of thun-
Ger, served to arouse him. He Just sat
and moped and sulked and never even
| batted his eyes at any further noises. II
was somewhat strange, however. in view
or the subsequent experiments on other
| monkeys, that Shaggers never once seem
ed to associate the ear phones or the
wires with his troubles.
Precisely the same experiments were
tried on Sam, young spider monkey
with practically the same results as to
the early investigation for the owner OF
the hidden voice, but with this difference
Sam seemed to catch on early In the ac-
| ton that the ear phones had something
to do with the sounds. He tried to pull
| them off, and, failing in this, he set to
working earnestly to investigating the
wire. He felt of it, put it in his mouth,
and then went to hauling in the slack,
| like a sailor pulling on a rope hand over
! hand, as though to discover what was at
the other end. When he had pulled in
ali the slack, and had found out nothing,
he sulked, like Shaggers, end treated all
further efforts to arouse him with silent
! contempt

A free trial treatment Is being sent out
by the State Medical Institute in order to
demonstrate the fact that the most hor-
rible of all diseases can be cured. There
is a good deal of controversy over this
subject among those who declare the
disease incurable, but the facts are indu-
bitable and must be acknowledged. The
action of this new remedy is peculiar.
The physician in charge of the institute
has had long and varied experience
treating this disease of the blood, and
about two years ago, after a long series
of experiments, he found the exact spe-
citic that offsets the poison, renders 1t
ifeless and eliminates it from the body.
Paving personally examined many hun
~. DIS of cases and familiarized himself
With every detail of the disease, his dis
covery came naturally, and has never
failed him. One of his recent cures was
most hopeless case, the disease hav-
ing caused the hair to fall out, and the
body was one mass of putrescent sores,
boils, blotches and unsightly disfgure-
ments. In ten days the entire outer skin
