Re WARD FOR TITUS
President Mckinley to Make
Him West Pointer.
GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON
That This Honor viii Go to
the Wichita Boy.
GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON

The news from Washington is that the
president VIII appoint Calvin Pearl Ii
tus. the Wichita boy to a cadetship to
West Point.
President Mckinley has at his disposal
five cadetships, which he can bestow
upon an yone independent Of the usual
Endorsement Of congressman and sena-
tors
And it is gossip in the capital that the
president has decided to give one CT these
five appointments to young Titus.
So far as is known the action on the
part of the 2 president viii be purely Of his
own Initiative, no outside parties having
been pushing Titus claims.
The selection Of the young man by the
chief executive win settle the matter Of
his reward What promotion he could
secure from the ranks would be made
quate compared with his daring service
to the country. Congress did not vote
him a medal
So President Mckinley determined to
do something himself for the young hero.
Titus relatives are not Republicans
Young Titus since his exciting scaling
of The walls of Pekin has been with
Chamee's troops which are now returning
TO Manila Titus term soon expires.
and he is eager to return home, not
only to see mis- relatives, but a sweet
heart in New Hampshire with whom he
has been in constant correspondence
since he left America
The probabilities that the honor to be
conferred on hlm by .Ae president is en-
tiroly unexpected.

LEAD INFANT FOUND
Strange Discovery Made Yes
terday by Fred Nichols.
is 1T PREHISTORIC ID0L2
Representation of a Dead In
fant-DetaiIs of II.

Frank Nichols yesterday at noon ran
his spade into the strangest find ever
made in Wichita.
This is apparently lead casting of a
day-old infant Whether it is a mound
builders idol, or the crazy freak Of some
latter-day crank is yet to be decided. It
is not petrifaction and those who IN
derstand casting can not figure out how
it could have been cast, but cast it IN
doubtedly was. and cast apparently from
a mould made from the body Of a very
small, young dead infant.
If it could be authenticated as an idol
Of any aborigine of this continent it
would prove immensely valuable as
showing to what a high state metallurgy
had come in prehistoric days in America.
II some crank of late days took a dead
infant and made a lead casting Of it, his
reason will always remain a mystery and
the object found yesterday will be merely
a rather grewsome relic forever unex-
planned.
Yesterday at the home of his father.
B. F. Nichols at No. 10l2 South Wash
ington avenue, Frank Nichols was spad-
ing up the vineyard when his spade
struck repeatedly an object which ne
could not cut through and he finally
spaded around it and brought up the
curious object mentioned above. He had
merely cut into one Of the hands of the
find and had not otherwise injured the
object.
The object is solid lead and must weigh
close to thirty pounds. It is fourteen
inches in length and is the perfect rep
resentation of a dead infant, very young.
It is not a sculpture, being by far too
true to nature for any rude artist or
aborigine. The forehead is high and the
line between it AMI the hair is perfectly
marked. The eyes are sunken and the
lids closed down. the expression about
the eyes and mouth exactly that OF
dead infant The ears are life like The
rib show plainly through the trunk and
the tendons Of the arms are plain The
legs are slightly bowed and stretched out
the heels together and the feet extending
in straight line.
If this should be a work Of art the fin
est part would be the hands. Their
position on the body would aid in the
ideal theory as they are placed on the
! body just as those in the Aztec fetiches.
The hands are crossed over the stomach,
each finger being clearly lined and even
! so small a detail as the finer nails being
present with exactitude.
/ The whole presents an uncanny appear
ance, and the first impression is revolt
ing. but when the observer finds that the
object is lead his curiosity is aroused at
once.
Mr.. Nichols doesn't know what to make
of the find but he is hunting for expla-
nations, and he will lexhibit it at his
! offices under the Kansas National bank
in the hopes that some one may explain

call it, and seemed to catch the favor Of
the audience from the start Some very
clever sDecialties were introduced be-
tween acts, among which was that Of
Elmo Stran in a very entertaining tramp
turn. His make up was splendid and
he presented a perfect representation Of
the hobo in a manner that delighted the
audience. He did not overdo the tramp
act as so many actors are inclined and
liable to do Another pleasing act was
that Of Mr.. T. II. stansheld. who made
quite a hit with a farmer boy spec
ialty. His limitations were very clever
