HUGE HUMAN FOSSILS.
Bones of n Prehistoric Race Found
by Missouri Farmer.


ST. LOUIS, Nov &c. w Beehler.
farmer living near Montesano. Mo, forty
miles south of st. Louis, has discovered
the fossil remains of three enormous hu-
man beings who apparently thrived in
some prehistoric era. The bones were
found at a depth of forty feet n a rock
formation, which had preserved them
probably many centuries. They were soft
when first removed TO the surface. but
hardened under the action OF the atmos-
phere and have the appearance Of petri-
faction, which is dispelled by close exam
nation
The skulls are much larger than the
heads Of the present generation of men,
and it is estimated that If the bodies
were in the same proportion they must
have been about nine or ten feet tall. The
bones dug up with the skulls seem to
corroborate the theory of the gigantic
stature Of the prehistoric human race.
The discovery may give sufficient data
TO scientists TO establish the real miss
ing link The form, shape. and weight of
prehistoric animals haze been determined
with less material a basis than has
been found by Mr.. Beehler
One skull Is almost intact. and although
it is the smallest of the three, it shows
that it must have been a giants frame
that supported it Whether it is the era
mum OF the much-sought missing link in
his transformation state between the low
er animals and man of higher type. sci
ence alone can determine Near where
these human remains were found the
farmers have been digging up relics with
the pillow on the surface and with the
pick in sinking wells for many years. and
an area for forty miles seems to be a
veritable graveyard for prehistoric ami
mails Of all descriptions.
Mr. Beehler has collected relics which
archaeologists have pronounced the re-
mains of monstrous animals now extinct.
They are found together in great pro-
fusion, the bones of mastodon lying
mingled with those Of other prehistoric
creatures.
The multitude of the fossils in one cir
cumseribed spot is as much puzzle TO
the scientists who have visited the place
from St. Louis. the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, and other seats of learning as the
wonderful finds themselves. BeehIer's
discovery is by far the most important
find yet made in that district. and he
intends to show the bones to the pro-
fessors of Washington University. at ST.
Louis, tor their opinion He has a turn
for collecting the fossils he hears of in
his neighborhood, gathering them as care
fully as boy with his first aggregation

Alleged ConSp1rators in Court and
the Case Continued.

The crowd Of spectators in attendance at
the Police Court this morning in anticipa-
ton of an airing of the alleged conspiracy
case Unearthed by the police Of the Ninth
precinct. was disappointed in its expecta-
tons Of developments, for the case was con-
tinued until Friday in order to enable the
authorities to investigate the numerous
Matchmaking schemes, in which the de-
PENDANTS, according to their alleged con
LESSONS, have been engaged
Eight arrests have already been made.
and it is intimated that others are to fol-
low. What gives the case a peculiar in
terest is not only the good family con-
nections Of those who are charged with
the conspiracy. but the high standing of
some of the alleged victims.
It is said that a systematic scheme of
blackmal has been carried on for the past
two years, and that it was only through
the desperation of one of the victims that
the alleged offenders were exposed.

Washington, July 22.-President Nc
kinley received what purpOrts to be n
direct appeal from the Chinese imper-
ial government to use his good offices
to extricate that government from the
position in which 1t has been placed
as result of the Boxer uprising. AL
though the exact text of the appeal
made by the Emperor of China to
France as outlined in the cable dis
patches Of yesterday has not been
known here, it is believed that the dis
patch to the President is similar in
terms. In that case, the communica-
ton was made through Minister Wu
to the State Department. Thus far n
final answer has not been returned.
The French government answered at
once, but that answer will not serve
us. The United States government is
proceeding upon an entirely new line
of policy in the treatment of the case.
Unfortunately the State Department
finds itself alone in this, but neverthe-
less it is convinced its plan is the best,
and it has behind it the consoling as
surance that at present all of the Eu-
ropean governments have tacitly ad-
mitted that an error was made in the
beginning in not following the COM
mon sense advice of the United States
naval commander at Taku.
The point of difference between the
State Department and the European
governments is that the latter are pro-
ceeding on the belief that all of the
foreign ministers and missionaries and
guards at Pekin have been killed and
insist in dealing with the Chinese gov
ernment on that basis, by assuming
hostile attitude that tends to destroy
the last chance of availing of whatever
friendly sentiment may yet exist
among the powerful Chinese viceroys
and the imperial government itself.
Thus the French reply, as indicated in
the four conditions laid down by M.
Delacasse yesterday, sets an impossible
task for the imperial government in its
present straits and tends to drive 1t at
once to make terms with the Boxers
and Prince Tuan's party.
On the other hand, our government,

Mohammedans In Murderous Mood.

Peoria, ILL.,, July 2O.-George Shi-
moon, n Persian student who has been
attending college in Illinois for several
years, to-day received cablegram
from his home at Oroomiah, Persia,
stating that his brother had been mur-
dered by Mohammedans, and that n
general massacre of the 5000 Chris
tians In Qroomiah was expected. The
cablegram states that the feeling of
the MOhammedans against the native
Christians is growing, and that there
have been several hand-to-hand battles
with fatalities on both sides. Mr.. Shi-
moons father is native missionary.
and this fact adds to the wrath against
him and his family.

Bad Conditions Mt Cape Nome.

Washington. July 24-Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg received report to-
day from Surgeon II. G.. Ebert of the
army. dated Nome Harbor. Alaska,
June Goth. which gives det&ls of the
conditions existing mt that place. He
says that within two or three weeks
the population has increased from .
100 to 10000. with tents and buildings
irregularly located along the beach.
The sanitary conditions were crude in
the first place and with the influx of
the new population become worse
He describes n horrible condition en-
listing, as there Is no method of clean
ing up the town and no provision for
the destruction of nccumulations of
garbage and filth. The thirst for gold
existing among the people who have
gone to Nome City outweighs every
thing else, and no attention Is paid 10
sanitary conditions. Reports of eases
of cnteric fever vary from 1T5 Ia 100.
There have been thirteen eases of
smallpox and one death. Measles also
prevails.

Kansas Town Inun ndated.

Salina. Kan. July PA cloud burst
occurred at Solomon. fourteen miles
east OF here early this morning and
more than six inches of water fell in
an hour. The greater part of the town
was under water in Il few minutes and
people We're compelled to flee from
their homes or seek refuge in upper
stories. The Union Pacific railroad
passes through the town and the resi-
dence district lies between the railroad
and hill to the north. The railroad
is higher than the adjoining territory
and prevented the escape of the water
which came in torrents off the hill.
Half an hour after the rain ceased the
water stood several feet deep over the
residence portion of the town and
many houses were flooded.
The United Brethren church has two
feet of water in it. The handsome res
idence of II. Il. Kimmerly, cashier of
the Bank of Solomon. was flooded to
the depth of nearly three feet and
much of the furniture was destroyed.
The same thing happened in nearly
every residence in the northern portion
of the city. The water rose SO rapidly
that people had little time to remove
their belongings to higher stories as
the water poured in at the doors.
