RELICS OF PAST AGES.
1owans Interest Scientists by Their
Discovery of Skeleton ON the
Iowa River Banks.

The discovery in Hardin county .
short time ago by Joseph Booda and
Elliott Charles Gaynes of innumerable
mound builders relics, and the subse-
quent finding, by other parties, of the
remains of man of the prehistoric
period, have greatly interested scien-
lists i'll various parts of the country,
the chief among these being Curator
Charles Aldrich, of the State Horticul-
tural society.
Assuring himself of the truthful
ness of the various newspaper ac-
counts, Mr.. Aldrich has arranged to
be in Eldora next month and begin
careful and systematic exploration
of some of the mounds in the vicinity,
the legal permission having been OBJ
tanned. In a large show window in
Eldora for several days has been eN-
hibited the skeleton of the man which
was found in mound on the banks
of the Iowa river, near Eagle City, six
miles north. 1t has caused much in
terest and wonderment. Although
well preserved, it is estimated that
the skeleton is centuries old. The
skull is very large and thick, fully
quarter of an inch. A set of almost
round double teeth are remarkably
well preserved. They are yellow with
age, are perfect in shape and appear
to have been double, both above and
below. The femurs are very long,
showing giant in stature. DR.. n. c..
Morse, prominent physician, who
examined the skeleton, pronounced
it that of a person who had evidently
been trained for athletics, as the ex-
tremities were SO well developed.
Joseph Booda, who has taken much
interest in mound explorations, has a
rare collection of implements of the
stone age. all found near Eldora.
Among these are pottery, axes, ar
rows, bead work, pestles, mallets. and,
although he has had offers for the
collection, will not part with it, un-
less he may be induced by Curator
| Aldrich to loan the collection to the
| state, to be placed in the historical
building at Des Moines when com.
