OGDEN, Utah, Oct. 22.-Sherff Layne,
of Ogden, has captured one of the parties
concerned in the holdup of the Union Pa
cific train at Wilcox. Wyo., on June 2,
when a large amount of money was TAX
en- from the express company's safe. The
man is James c. Lyle and he was taken
at Rigbv, Idaho. Thursday He was not
told why he was being arrested until the
officers had succeeded in splitting m
over the line into Utah. Lyle, as we'll as

that there were nine men in the gang.
which included the notorious leader or

MINES IN PHILIPPINES.
Rich Samples of Ore Brought Back
by South Dakota Soldiers.

by South Dakota Soldiers.
DEADWOOD, S. D., Oct. 22-Evidences
of the richness of the Philippine is ands
In the precious metals have been shown
in the Black Hills towns since the re-
turn of the three volunteer companies
which served a year in the Islands. Inc
Black Hills boys, many of them, have
had practical experience In mining Tor
gold and silver ores and they have b en-
Natchful in the Philippines for in lca-
lions Of ore deposits. Capt. Paul McCtel-
land of Company l, has brought back
from Manila piece of bamboo, oo:ked
at each end, which contains very ich
piece of decomposed silver ore. c pt
McClelland formed the acquaintance o.
an old native, who said the rich specimen
in the bamboo stick came from a wide
ledge stepping off a distance IF about
one hundred feet when he told the G.: p
tain the width of it. The sample Of ore IS
nearly half silver The ledge, the n tive
stated, is about ten miles from Manila.
Many of the natives have learned some
thing Of the value If the ore veins Of
the country, having seen some Of the
mining done by the Spanish. Pieces CT
rich gold quartz ore have been given
the Black Hills boys by the natives,
which came from Luzon and the ore re-
sernbIes very closely the rich free milling
veins OF the Oiich THIS. Niiuiihs U. Soiu
ore have been exhibited on the sire is
of Deadwood by some of the re u-nel
soldiers which bristle with gold thr eads,
flakes and nuggets, and it would be taken
for Black Hills ore by the most expert
enced mining men.
Many of the Black Hills boys have re-
NAMED in the Philippines for the pur-
pose of being on the ground ready for
the gold fields, as soon as order is re-
stored in the islands. Several outfits have
been organized, which are already in the
gold fields around Manila. Some of the
returning soldiers have small bottles Of
placer gold which they PANIED out of the
creeks and larger streams of water with
common pans. There seem to be large
quantities of black sand which is full of
bright yellow gold, easily panned and
believed by the Black Hills men to be
in great quantities.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 22.-EXcava-
tions being made on a farm owned by
S. H. Elliott and his son, in Brown coun-
ty, have brought to light some important
and interesting specimens Of the work
of Indian moundbuilders. Near their
building is an Indian mound five or six
feet high, through which they have been
digging with a view to constructing
barn. The excavation they have made
is about sixteen feet wide and five feet
deep, and in the course of digging they
have found the skeletons of nine persons,
who were evidently Indians.
In some instances only the skulls have
been found. but in others there were
bones enough to show that the people
buried their were very tall. Some fe-nur
bones have been found which are Of such
great length as to indicate that the pos
SCISSORS of them in life must have been
from seven to eight feet in height. The
bodies appear to have been buried face
downward, with the bodies doubled back
ward, so that the heels rested upon the
back of the hea@ or at the sides OF it.
The bones of one Child were found, by the
side of which was found the skeleton OF
dog, which, it is supposed, was killed
and buried with its young master in order
that it might accompany him as a play
mate in his journey to the happy hunting
grounds. A considerable number of flint
arrow heads and some stone pipes were
found near the bones
Mr. Elliott says the pipes are different
from anything that has ever been found
in other Indian mounds opened in this
region. They are not made of the red
pipestone almost invariably used, and
they are made in different form. Instead
of having an opening at the side for a
stem they have a hole in the bottom. In
shape they are much like the modern cob
pipe, and are of a very hard stone, some
thing like flint, which must have been
very difficult to work into shape from
the original rock.
Further digging is yet to be done in
the mound, after which a collection of
the articles unearthed will be gathered
and placed on exhibition. There are evil
dences in the vicinity showing that the
| earth used in the construction of the
mound was dug up and carried from a
| distance of ten or twelve rods.

of course, we used to put up small
bills wherever they'd catch the eye, y
said a bill poster, who travelled with q
circus, making one day stands, "and one
thing we used to do that always pleased
folks was to hang bill from a ceiling.
You had to have a wooden ceiling to
start with, and then all you wanted. be-
sides the bills, was tack and a silver
dollar. 1t took practice to do it, but
when you'd got the knack it was very
simple and easy. }a 70
You attached two bills together, one
at the foot of the other, so that it would
hang down when the first one was at
tached to the ceiling. Then you fold d
the bills up. with a tack, thrust point
upward through the top fold of the upper
bill, with a silver dollar under it, up
against Its head, and between it and
the other folds of paper under it.
Then, some time VIXEN the room was
full of people-this might be a hotel office
or perhaps a barroom-you tossed In :
pilis up, and there was weight enough
In the dollar to drive the tack into The
ceiling far enough To hold. Then the
weight of the paper Itself and of the
dollar would open the bills out and tae
coin would drop and you'd catch it as it
fell. The bills would be SEEN fasten= d
up there somewhere most of the reople
wouldn't know how. and opening out
with the lower bill hanging so you could
read it. So.

ter and Flourish for Years.
Chicago Times.
A new method of growing cacti has
been discovered in the botanical garuens
of Berlin. All that is required is a
shapely bottle a little rich earth and a
few cactus seeds that can be boug hit Of
any florist for few cents. Bottles in
which creme de menthe or some of tho
other cordials usually come, are well
adapted to this purpose on account Of
the clearness Of the g,ass and the g. ace
of their shape.
Having secured the bottle, cleanse it
thoroughly and then put earth in it I'M
til the bottom is covered to a height
Of about an inch. Sprinkle this earth
well, almost soaking wet, and then throw
in three or four cactus seeds. Close the
bottle snugly with a tight-fltting cork
and seal it close with sealing wax. Tie
a strong cord around the neck Of the
bottle and hang it in a window that the
sun reaches for at least several hours
every day In cold weather the bottle
must not be exposed. The living room,
with a constant temperature of 20 de-
grees or more, suits the experiment adj
mirably. Then the entire process of
growth can be watched with no small
interest The opening and roofing of thu
seeds, and the gradual development of the
plants will follow, almost as If by
magic
