tombs were usually found by opening the
walls three or four feet above the ground.
Sometimes they contained the bones of as
many as eight people. Other tombs were
discovered-at the foot of shelving rocks

MISTAKES ARE FEW.
Result Of Careful Work in the Redemp-

There is no more interesting and impor-
tant work in the Treasury Department than
that performed in the redemption agency

Of the national banks are received for re-

Of this division. and visitors who pass
through the corridors Of the first floor Of

millions of dollars in notes. During the
last fiscal year the division under Mr.. Rog

notes.
do we ever make mistakes?" quered Mr..
Rogers in reply to the query directed to
him whether errors did not occur in the
enormous work In his division. "Why, yes,
mistakes are made. but during the last
twelve years We have not had to collect
dollar from q single eTnploye on account
of overs or shorts There was a time
many years ago when one employe got
away with $1,000 before suspicion was di-

shortages that were made good, but in the
last twelve years there has been no case of
this kind This fiscal year we will proba-

there will be mistakes in the frequent

these mistakes will balance and 1t will not

ITALY's POPULAR POET.
Young Daughter of Factory Opera.
tive Has Risen to High Fame,

Rome Corr. Chicago Record Herald.
The favorite poet Of the Italians is Ada
Negri, a young woman who has suddenly
sprung into fame by the passionate fire Of
her verses and their simple, strong, true
democratic sentiment. Although she was
first heard Of in 1892. her works now have
larger sale than those of any other au-
thor In Italy, and she is better known to
the common people than any other. She
has published two volumes. The first
which included 25O pages OF lyrics, passed
through six editions very rapidly, and
every line Of It's contents has again and
again been copied in the newspapers. The
second volume appeared in 1896. and had
even larger sale. appealing to a higher
class of readers because it's contents were
more mature and showed higher literary
polish without detriment to their quality.
Miss Negri has third volume in press
which Will appear shortly and 1t Is await
ed with great curiosity. because since the
second volume was published her circum-
stances and surroundings have been entire
ly changed and she has been translated
from poverty to wealth and from the pri-
Vatfons of garret to the luxuries of
palace at Milan.
Ada Negri was born February 8, 1870,
in q little village near Milan, where her
father and mother were factory operatives
Her father died when she was mere ch. Id
and her mother led a miserable life Of la
Dor and sacrifices in order to secure an
education for her child. In 1888. when she
was eighteen, the girl obtained situation
as teacher In the village school. and took
her mother out Of the factory. They lived

entitled THE Working Mother" which has
appeared again and again in every news
paper In Italy, most frequently in those
which are read by the working classes and
thus has become as familiar to the Italian
people as Longfellow's Psalm Of Life is
to us. is supposed to be an epitome OF her
a woman In her circumstances. 1t describ-
ed the struggles Of a mother who is work
ing to educate a son, and everybody who
knows the story Of Ada Negri's life recog-
nizes the personal quality.
In 1892 the girl went to Milan for q brief
visit to arrange for the publication OF her
poems In book form, leaving her native VIII
lage for the first time, and there saw lux

ton beyond her dreams. The few books
she had found in the village library had not
prepared her for the splendor of the cathe-
dral. the buildings of the business section
and the shaded palaces Of the outer streets,
and. although she did not cross a thres-
hold. her imagination was excited and her
ambition received a new impulse, when
after two days of delight she returned to
her garret and wooden shoes. From this
moment her poems took on q new color.
They became brighter and more vivacious,
with less melancholy, as If few rays Of
sunshine had been admitted to her soul.

A FAMOUS OLD MILL.
Expensive Dream Of a Russian Inven-
tor Wrecked in South Dakota,

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The wrecking of an old mill at Hurley
the other day In order that the material
might be used for other purposes was Of
unusual interest to the people of that To-
cality, for the reason that the structure
had no counterpart on the earth's surface
and was erected under the personal SUPER
vision OF an amateur inventor who believed
he had solved the problem of utilizing the
high winds Of this part Of the country for
the operation of machinery in lieu of steam
or other power
Wind power was the hobby of Cor
nelfus Wedel. a member Of the colony Of
Russian Mennonites living in the western
part OK Turner county. and the mill was
erected to test his theory. Wedel was a
man OF some ingenuity who claimed to
have discovered a new style of wheel and
attachment which would completely rev.
oiutionize % the modern systems Of motive
fall Of 1893 by himself and another Rus
sian named William Semur.
Wedel was very anxious to put his
theory to test He invested all the money
he had In the mill and induced Semur to
sell his valuable farm and invest the pro-
ceeds therefrom In the mill. Then Wedel
still not having enough money to carry
the project through. borrowed all he could
and finally got the mill finished and in
running order. But it did not work Just as
expected, and the first high winds took
the fans off his wheel. He was not wholly
discouraged, however. and proceeded to
repair it and put it in running order once
more. But the wind took the fans Off
again. He could get no more funds to re-
pair the mill, and the disappointed inventor
was forced to abandon the structure to
his numerous creditors.
The mill was four stories high. It was
octagonal in shape, having diameter of
about twenty eight feet at the bottom. It
was a very odd looking. picturesque land
mark, and for years had been a pop
ular target for amateur photographers. a
wonderful play house for boys and a rem
devious for thousands Of birds.
