POOR 10 TURNED TO STONE.
fetrihed Body of an Indian Found
in n Mound on an Ohio
Farm.

In an old Indian mound near Gun
nersville, o., relic hunters have found
an Indians body that had turned TO
solid stone. The mound is located ON
the farm of Thomas Jemes, and bones.
arrowheads and other relics are plenfi-
ful there, and some time ago three
skeletons which were foundisthare
crumbled to dust on exposure to the
air. The last find of the petrifed In
dian was made about six feet beneath
the surface of the mound. Their shovel
struck something hard and immovable
and investigation showed it to be in
the form of a mans face. The entire
form Of the Indian was soon brought
to view, but aid had to be secured he
fore it could be removed. 1t was a fine
specimen OF an Indian, over six feet
tall. His features are eomely and his
hands small and shapely. Phe muscles
of his arms and legs stand out in bold
relief, as though carved by the hand
Of man, and even the wrinkles in the
wrist are discernible. The relic is now
at the home of Mr.. Jemes and arrange
ments have been made for placing il

THE CHURCH COLUMN.

Rev. Q. E. scudder. Pastor


The services of Mrs. Badly we're
very much appreciated by old and
young alike. Her twenty years of
service in India have made her ia.
miliar with the real conditions in
that dark land. Her addresses were
instructive and inspiring.
A missionary society was formed
with seventeen charter members
We believe the number will be
greatly increased. Who that love
our Lord car refuse to give two
cents a week and a prayer for the
uplifting of the dark, sin cursed,
nations, who have never heard of
the true God?
The revival meetings will contin-
ue next week. The key note of the
week will be the word saved. Why
become saved? When become saw
ed' How to become saved and
How to stay saved are the subjects.
The subjects of the sermons for
next Sabbath are-"The chief corn
er stone" and Repentance.
As the old year and old century
draw to a close, it is a good time to
take account of our moral ana reli-
gious stock and see if we have suffi-
Gent capital in character for the
new century. Are we religious pro.
ducers, or religious consumers?
Will the goth century be better or
worse because we live?
In the religious as in the domestic
life, it is great thing to say 81
will" when the marriage ceremony
is performed, every part is second to
the 81 will" and when the soul
seeks that intimate union with God,
expressed in the marriage covenant
it must listen to the voice of the
spirit, ponder the conditions of a
christian life and then say to God
II will" For better or for worse,
for richer or for poorer, till death, /
accept Thee and give myself to
Thee.

IHE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Naturally the message is lengthy |
because so many events of world
wide importance have transpired
within the past year and so many
questions arisen, which are yet
to be settled, and upon which Con-
gress and the people desired the
Presidents information and the wis
dom of his suggestions. He is re-
quired by the constitution "to give
such information of the State of the
Union and recommend for consid
Grafton such measures as he shall
deem necessary and expedient, and
this paper in no wise falls short of
stating such facts as will give Con-
gress the requisite understanding OF
affairs to enable it to act with full
intelligence.
Regarding currency and taxation
he shows that the condition of the
Treasury is strong. The deficits
which began with Cleveland's ad-
ministration, during a time of peace
and which continued by reason of
war through part of the present
term have heen superseded by an an
nnal surplus which during the fiscal
year amounted to nearly eighty mil
lion dollars. This has enabled re-
turn to the policy of reducing the
national debt. This surplus shoulp
be reduced but ought not to be abol-
ished.
The President urges on Congress
an act which would take from the
Secretary of the Treasury the des-
erection whereby the gold standard
might prove delusive under a silver
administration, so as "to insure
the continued parity under all con-
ditions between our two forms of
metallic money, silver and gold"
Our foreign trade has increased,
but the fact is to be deplored that
most of it is carried in foreign ships
and the President favors some
measure which will stimulate Amer
ican shipbuilding.
In respect to our colonial respon-
sibilities the President shows that
the settlement of these questions
has made great progress. Hawaii
is fully organized as territory and
its incorporation in, and annexation
to, the system cf the Union is COM
plete. Porto Rico has held first
election and its government is in
both branches, in full operation.
The Cuban Constitutional Conven
tion will soon pass constitution
which will be transmitted to Con-
gress. In the Philippines the
foundations of new state are being
established. There will be new
laws, new administration and a
new governments in that coun-
try. For some time the Com
mission has been organization new
state and building up a new Com
monwealth. A new civil service is
in operation, education ON a wider
scale provided for, departments OF
forests and mines established and
harbor improvements begun. Dis
tricts, towns and villages have their
own local government, and new laws
passed making more effective the
old forms of procedure. The effect
of this is shown by the fact that al
ready the inhabitants of districts are
announcing their allegiance to the
new forms.
The progress must necessarily
be slow but the expansion which
was approved at the last election is
progressing satisfactorily and in due
time the whole country will recog-
inize the wisdom Of the principles by
which it is being accomplished
