PURE MILK ORDINANCE.

Inspector McIviily Requests City solicitor
Rsinhardt to Draft u l;iiI.
Milk Inspector Waiter A. McEvilIy
had called upon City solicitor David
j. Reinhardt and requested him 10 draft
an ordinances for presentation to City
Council imposing a heavy fine upon
milk dealers who put formaidehy de in
the milk. Mr.. McEvilly has been en-.
gagged in an effort to suppress its use for
some time and his tests and those of the
State meteorological and Pathological
Laboratory have convinced him that 1t
is being used even more extensively
than ever. He finds that the only way
to call halls Is to do SO by law, and as
the present law is not strong enough
wants one that will enable him to cope
with the situation. He is of the opin-
ion that City Council will pass such an
ordinance. as he believes he will have
no trouble 10 convincing the members
that it will be in the interests of the
health of the city. The matter will
profanity come up at the meeting of
Council next week.
Some local dealers say that some Of
the aamries of milk examined by the
chemists at the State laboratory showed
lar different results than would have
been the case under different circum-
stances. They explain 1t ia this way /:
When the work of collecting samples
Was begun the dealers did not know
that the milk taken was samples and
frequently gave SKINNED milk, think
ing it might be to feed to a cat or for
some similar purpose. But 1T 10 known
that many Of the samples were actual
samples of the milk regularly handled.

BARELY ESCAPED DROWNING.

Miss Maud Lyman Heroically Rescued at
Christiana by Fletcher Bioclssom.
Miss Maud Lyman of No. S34 West
Sixth street had a narrow escape from
being drowned while visiting at the
town of Christians Tuesday. Sh
accompanied party of young friends
to the Christana River, and as they
we're about TO step into boat to go
rowing she slipped and fell overheard.
The water was very deep at that point
and her friends were very much alarmed.
Efforts were made to save, her, and
just as she was about to go down for
the third time Fletcher Bloogsom of
this city, son of Capt Blocksom, dived
into the water and brought her to shore
just in time to save her life.
Although pretty badly frightened,
Miss Lyman, after changing her cloth
ing, joined her friends and entered into
the amusements participated ia by her
companions. She is at home suf-
fering from cold, but has apparently
recovered from the shock.

Indian Axes.

With reference to the axes found on
and near this Roca site, one which is
simply large silver or corner of
glacial boulder with notch Clipped for
withe to surround it was used doubt
less to obtain water in winter, by cutting
through the ice. One very fine speci-
men has no notch cut around it and is
the kind called "skinner" It is said
that the Indians could take the skin off
buffalo with one of these skinners very
dexterously. 1t is six inches long and
almost round, being slightly fattened on
each side while the end is ground to an
edge more or less sharp; this end has a
blade two and a half inches long and the
other end is Clipped so that it may be
easily grasped by the hand. The sub
stance is materially the same as that
used in Ohio for the same purpose, of a
blush black color and very hard. am
not sure that the material even is found
here, but there are specimens which
very much resemble it.
The typical ak, those with grooves cut
around them, are quite common; they
are made of a greenish black substance

MINIS AND MONEY.
Roca, Neb.

the Omaha Commercial Club in an
interview in reference to the proposed
mint in Omaha says: ''In addition to
it's proximity to the mines, Omaha is the
centre of rich agricultural country
which every year requires millions of
dollars for the handling of it's crops.
The location of the mint at Omaha
would enable the farmers and mer-
chants to reach the source of supply of
money easier than at present and they
would then be using the metal mined in
the territory contiguous to Omaha"
No wonder we have populists, fusion
lists, greenbackers, silver-republicans
and sixteen-to-one democrats when the
active manager of a great commercial
body puts forward such curious theory
as is contained in the foregoing extract.
When did it happen in the last thirty
years that farmers or merchants suffered
for the lack of coined money or legal
tender money of some other kind? Can
the secretary or any other man in this
community recall or specify single
case in thirty years where any man had
anything for sale and could not sell it
because of a scarcity of coined money or
other legal tender currency. Merchants
and farmers have often been without
merchandise and without farm products
and could not get money for that reason;
or on the other hand the people who
would like to buy may have been with
out capital or credit, and consequently
could not buy; but neither of these
parties could say that their troubles were
due to a lack of coin or legal tender
money. 1t is careless and inaccurate
statements of this kind that give rise to
so much agitation and to so many false
theories among our people. The average
man is not expected to be an economic
expert and it is not strange that he is
led astray by such statements, but we
expect better things from people whose
position should be a guarantee of correct
thinking in matters Of finance. The
establishment of mint here will not
make money easier to be obtained by
any class-except perhaps burglars.
The benefit to Omaha of mint is like
the benefit that comes from the estab-
lishment of any large manufacturing
plant The benefit is in proportion to
the amount Of capital invested and the
amount Of money spent for wages. 1t is
not even benefit to that extent as we
would get no benefit from the expendi-
ture of profits. Curious theories of
finance are passing away. Don't let us
revive or encourage them by such state
ments as the above.

deep. 1t must have taken many hours
of diligent application to make one Of
these axes. I am not settled in my
opinion with regard to these specimens;
they may have been made here but am
inclined to think they were brought
from the east.
Mills in various forms are quite
numerous but on account of the length
of this article must leave this branch
of the subject for future article.
Crude Implements.
The implement which is distinctively
a home product is found scattered
throughout the Nebraska field. This is
the stone which they used to dress skins.
have many Of these rubbing stones"
made flat and smooth on one side and
sometimes on either side. One which I
have shows the marks of the fingers
deeply worn in the upper part and the
edges while the underside is dattened by
constant wearing. The stones are
selected from the drift deposit and are
of convenient size to hold in the hand.
One may know that these stones are
found on the ground and are probably
not carried from place to place but are
abandoned when the village site is
deserted. These stones are usually the
first evidences one discovers near an
ancient village site, and are found only
near the village site.
The skins are stretched on the ground
and while they are drying and curing
the squaws rubbed the flesh side with
these stones until the stones themselves
are worn flat by constant usage.
Now, to briefly recapitulate, the flints
of the Roca site show that they came
from nearly every direction, either
brought here for barter or were made
here and the different forms show that
probably different tribes made them and
the appearance shows greatly differing
ages for these flints. In fact one can
but conjecture how many different tribes
of people wandered over these beautiful,
rolling prairies before the white man
came with his burden. From a study
of the conditions I would say that at
least three widely differing tribes have
roamed these hills in the halcyon days
when naught but fresh air and blue sky
contended with the buffalo and plumed
songster for supremacy. This subject is
still in it's infancy and one can but
imagine what wonders will be revealed
ere the close of this century.
How many such ancient Indian village
sites there are in the state is matter of
conjecture. have rumors of many and
hope to use the spade to some effect
before this year closes. Anyone know
ing of archaeological fields will do the
state of Nebraska favor by writing a
deScrintiOn of them and some time
