MYSTERY OF The CLIFF JEWELLERS
Systematic Attempt ncins Made a,


Investigation.
Who are the cliff dwellerso Where
did they come from? What races are
they connected with? What were
their customs? asks IA Denver dis
PATCH
These are questions that remain to
be solved by scientists. The genesis
OF the race whose houses are found
perchcd in almost inaccessible clefts
IN the cliffs in Colorado and Arizoa,
New Mexico and Utah, has never been
even guessed at. For some reason
most of the investigators along scien-
titic lines have left the queer little
race alone, and it is today almost as
much shroudcd i'm darkness as in the
days before anthropology was a sci
ence and its devotces had become in
tercstcd i'm the study of extinct races.
In the state capitol of Colorado is to
he commenced the first systematic at
tempt to nnravef the mystery of this
people. The collection OF skulls,
bones, pottery and fragnentary pic
lures which has been gathered by the
state Historical society and is dis
played i'll its rooms i'm the capitol
basement, though interesting as curl
csities, is not cntalogued and ar
BANGED so as to give it its full scicn-
tiiic value. The work To be done will
produce infinitely descriptive cata-
loguc in which accurate measures
ments of all human bones and skulls
will Ice put down.
At the request of Curator Ferril
and the board OF managers the work
Will be undertaken by DIR. \. l.. Ben
nett, who has made anthropology his
special study. Dr. Bennett has done
anthropological work in Africa. and
his observations on the cannibal
Fang tribe in equatorial Africa are

logical institute of Great Britain and

the chairman Of the delegation I'M
nounced he would yield to Iowa to
present the candidate. The chairman
recognized Colonel Lafayette Young,
editor of the Des Moines Capital.
Young swung from the main aisle to
the platform to do that which no sim
gle orator ever before did in repub-
ican national convention, withdraw
one strong, magnetic candidate and
present the name of another for the
vice president. He withdrew the
name of Dolliver and offered that of
Roosevelt.
Colonel Young was in Cuba at the
time Roosevelt led his gallant rough
riders up San Juan hill and his refer
ence to the governors campaign was
eloquent and touching. The demons
stration which followed the announce
ment by Young of Roosevelt as the
candidate of the young men of the
country, representing their desires
and ambitions, embodying their patri-
otiSm and Americanism, was not Sec
ond to that accorded the presidents
name. The vast asemblage sprang to
its feet and state emblems, pampas
plumes, handkerchiefs and hats filled
the air. The band played "Thcre'll BE
Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" delegates began marching
around the hall, filing past Roosevelt
and extending him their congratula-
ticns. The demonstration continued
nearly seven minutes and when order
was restored, Butler Murray. of Mas
sachusetts, seconded the nomination
of Roosevelt. General James Nj. Ash
ton, of Washington, also made a
speech seconding the nomination.
Ashton withdrew the name of Bartlett
| 1ripp. AT the conclusion of Ashton's
speech there was tumultuols demand
| for Depew. The senator finally
stepped to the platform and gave Il
magnificent and impromptu tribute to
| the hero of the hour.
All for Roosevelt.
AS the roll call proceeded each dele
cation called cast it's vote for Roose-
| welt unanimously. On the conclusion
of the call the chairman announced
that Roosevelt had received 929 votes,
one delegate in the convention not
voting. This delegate was Roosevelt
himself. The announcement that
| Roosevelt was nominated vice presi-
dent evoked burst of applause that
fairly shook the great building to it's
| foundations.
Roosevelt was surrounded by dele
gates showering congratulations upon
him. After the passage of the custom
airy resolutions of thanks and the plac-
ing of Lodge at the head of the COM
mittee to notify the president of his
nomination and Wolcott at the head
of the committee to notify the vice
presidential nominee, the convention,
at 2:I4, adjourned sine die.
The national committeeman re-
elected Hanna chairman.
Will Accept.
Roosevelt announced that the nomi-
nation was so spontaneous that he
cannot decline. He will make brief
statement and accept the nomination
for the vice presidency.

Using Oxen i'll ST. Louis LumberYard
ST. Louis Republic: 1t may surprise
many persons TO learn hat he day of
the on is not yet passed, so far as st.
Louis is concerned; that there is a
place i'm this city where oxen are en-
ploNed in large numbers in prefer
ence to horses or mules in work
which goes ON daily, within Il few
yards of Broadway
This place is in the c.. l.. Liebkcr
lumber yards, North ST. Louis. The
yards are generally filled with large
hard wood logs, which require shift,
ing from place to place i'm the process
of treatment. 1T is for this shifting
that the oxen are employed. and it is
not unusual to see several yoke of
oxen attached to a long chain, drag
| cling log behind them.
| This faculty of hitching any number
of oxen together is perhaps the
strongest why they are used in the
| lumber yards.
| About a dozen are employed in the
yards, all told. They are all about
he same size and arc hitched up. or
yoled up. with wooden yolSes. The
method of guidance is the time hon

May Sec Thrcc Centuries.

Marshalliown, Ia, June &c.
There are but few people liv-
ing who can claim the dis
tinction of having lived in three
different centuries. but that is what
seems to be not only possible, but
reasonably probable in the case of
Miss Jane Smith, who makes her
home With George Shelter, OF this
place. Miss Smith was born i'm the
eighteenth century, has lived to sec
the closing year Of the nineteenth
century and bids fair to survive until
the twentieth century dawns. Miss
Smith first saw the light of day on
June II, 1899, and accordingly is 1ol
years of age. Her health is remark
ably good. and her friends have every
reason TO believe she will yet survive
the six and IA half months yet to
elapse before the new century begins

TRIALS and WOES
OF DOCTOR LACEY
The Luverne Physician Breaks the
Record in the Line of Ar
rests and Fines.
FEDERAL COURT CASE DISMISSED
But This Does Not End Ills Trouble.
as There Arc Several Others
Yet to BE llcard---Gen-
cral State News.

Algona, Ia, june 81. DIR. Lacey, OF
Luvernc, the notorious litigant OF
northern Iowa, against whom Il
charge of opening his wifc's mail WAS
dismissed by the recent session OF the
United States court in Fort Dodge,
is still in the courts, and bids fair
to remain there until the~cracll of
doom.
The letter case was widely dis
cussed in the press and it looked du-
bious for the doctor for time 1t
seems that the letter in question was
one addressed to Mrs. Lacey after She
and the doctor had separated and WAS
from Il gentleman. 1T WAS claimed
her box, and it was on this charge
that the case was brought. Lacey
claimed, however, that the letter was
placed in his box through the fault
of the postofiice people and that he
opened it by mistake, and as it was
of special Importance to him, he chung
to it. The court also took this view
of the ease, and the doctor was dis
missed.
This, however, does not by any
means stop the trouble which is
brewing about the doctors head, and
which i'm his case always finds it's way
into the courts. There arc two OF
these eases pending now. in which the
doctor is interested. One is the suit
for divorce, brought by Mrs. Lacey
She charges her husband with cruel
ty DR.. Lacey has denied the allega-
tion and has filed a cross bill clarg-
ing adultery, and she i'm turn has filed
another, charging the same oil'ense To
the doctor. On the whole, the case
promises to be as malodorous as any
that have ever been tried here ii
was opened last week.
Another case is that brought
against DR.. l.acey's housekeeper,- Mrs
Dimlcr. of I.llverne, who is charged
with having maintained Illicit rcla-
tions with the doctor.
The following is record of the ar.
rests, trials, fines, etc, in this re.
markable case:
The opening case arose from am as
sault on Link Minltler, for which the
doctor was fined 500. Out of this as
sanlt was am arrest for carrying con
cealed weapons with q fine of S25. AT
the same time he was fined for selling
liquor illegally $500. The fines and
costs in these cases were over $500
An injunction against his selling
liquor was made perpetual by the
court. He WAS put under bonds to
keep the peace. Mrs. Lacey sued fol
divorce. The doctor had his children
taken into custody for an alleged
breaking of tho plate window in his
house. Mrs I.acey while he was in

"THE SUN 900 MOVE"
Rev. John Jasper Remains U,

shaken in His Convictions.
Richmond Times: Rev. John Jasper,
VINO maintains that "the sun do
move, was seen yesterday by me, and
asked If he had anything to say about
the eclipse. II don't wish to discuss
IT," said the old preacher, and try as
hard as he could the newspaper man
utterly failed to draw him out on that
subject
you still believe that the sun
moves?' he was asked.
Yes, sir; j believe it as much as I
believe that am sitting here, and no
man Will ever be able to make me be-
heye that it don't move until he can.
convince me that the word of God is
wrong. The sun has been moving ever
since the Lord put him in his habita-
ton, and he-has never stopped but
once. and that was when Joshua com
mended him to stand still. When
Hezekiah was lying on his couch sick
and asked the Lord to spare his life,
the Lord turned the sun back ten de-
grees. but the sun never stopped"
But surely" I said, "a man who
has studied the movements of the sun
as you have must have given some
thought to the eclipse and its causes
and its bearing on the harmony of the
Spheres
II don't care to discuss it. was the
reply. sr have never interfered my.
self about it. i know that il occurs
annually, but God attends to all those
matters. Some things he has revealed
to his children and some things he
has kept secret from them. The
heavens declare the glory of God, and
he has arranged all these things to
suit himself. The sun and the moon
and the stars obey God, but man.

way j got into the newspapers was
chat some reporter came out here and

made me out contemplate liar.
never thought any man was fool
enough TO believe that the sun did
not move. Everybody can see with
his own eyes that the sun do move
For he rises in the east i'm the MORN

well. i am disappointed, said 7.
II certainly thought that YOU would
have studied the eclipse and that YOU
would have been willing to tell what
you thought about it in connection
with Your theory"
II don't care to discuss it, was the
reply for the third time. The old man
has thoroughly made up his mind that
the sun moves and no phenomenon of
nature, eclipse or what rot, can shake
him in that belief.
Rev. John Jasper has now been
preaching the gospel for sixty-onc
years. and he says that there is no liv-
ing man in the Baptist church, white
or colored. who was preaching when
he went into the ministry. He has
ontlived all his contemporaries. He is
now almost blind. but is still vigor-
Gus man. and as earnest speaker az
