FOUND HUMAN SKELETON.
Workmen Dig UP Bones Under White
House Basement.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Workmen en-
ployed in tearing out the inside of the
white house last week unearthed. deep
q human skeleton. Strenuous efforts
have been mace to keep the discovery a
secret, pending a careful investigation.
The worllmen have been cautioned not
to discuss the subject, and most rigid
regulations have been adopted to pre-
Vent persons not actually employed in
the work from entering the building.
Even clerks and messengers belonging
to the executive force are excluded un-
der the existing order The mysterious
discovery was made while the laborers
We're eXcavating a subcellar below the
floor of the basement for the new heat
ing apparatus. After going down about
ten feet a massive stone vault was en-
countered. 1t proved to be what was
apparently the foundation walls of an
old house that had evidently stood on
the spot where the white house was af-
terward erected. 1t will be remembered
that the land upon which the white
house and adjacent public buildings
stand is made land, developed to its
present condition by filling in and
grading. In this same excavation was
found an immense oven imbedded in
the stone wall, and in close proximity
to the oven was found the bones. The
worklnen believed they had unearthed
an ancient tomb.
During the tearing process many
other interesting discoveries have been
made. In the famous east room evil
dences of the fire of 1914, when the
mansion was destroyed, We're disclosed.
Pieces of burned timbers We're found,
having been left undisturbed when the
building was reconstructed.
According to experts, the outside
walls of the white house are Of perfect
construction and are said to be more
solid and substantial than those Of
modern times. Fault is found, now
ever, with some of the interior brick
arches, which We're found to be dam
gerously weak, and In state of decay.
In few places the old foundation was
found to be in need of repair. New
retaining walls have been erected to
brace up the weak places.

Washington. Aug. 4.-Negotiations
have been opened in Washington for
the establishment of an entente cordiale
letween the government of Colombia
and Nicaragua. Ministers Concha, of
Colombia, and Corea. of Nicaragua. are
carrying on the negotiations. The move
grows out of the suspicion with which
these two countries have viewed each
other of late. Colombia has asserted
that Nicaragua is responsible for much
o. the trouble on the isthmus of Pana-
MA that expeditions have been formed
on Nicaraguan soil and that the Mica
ia guam court of Corinto is the base of
revolutionary operations against Co
lcmbia. There have been strong inti-
nations that Colombia would adopt
countersteps by the invasion of Nicara-
guam soil. Now. however. there are
good prospects that the negotiations
opened will lead to mutual explanations
and apologies, and to an agreement by
which each will rigidly respect the laws
o. neutrality and the rights of the other.

The pair corresponded for three

q delayed train and went to Sardis in
stead Schoonover, who is rich, came
to Wheeling and almost collapsed when
he found his brideto o-be was not there.
a telephone message from Sardis told
him that Miss Gibson was on the spot
ready to perform her part of the con-
tract The old man dubbed over with
joy, rushed back to Sardis as fast as
steam could carry him, met his girl with
/. smack and now they are one.
The old gentlemens children have
taken kindly to the innovation, for the
youthful bride seems to be all that
could be desired as stepmother for
grey-haired sons and daughters.

Des NIoines. Aug. 4.-The failure OF
the legislature last winter to pass biii
which was strongly urged by Secretary
Davidson. of the executive council, ana
the members of the executive council
rorpetuates Il system in state accounts
that is decidedly awkward and eSpeh-
sive i'm the matter of clerical labor The
present law treats telephone ana 'ele-
graph reports and assessments dliler-
antly from those of railroads. The
state auditor is nominally the secretary
OF The executive council when 1T comes
ia handling the telephone business. He
l.; REQUIRED to secure the reports and to
bo clerk of the council while the tele-
rhone assessment is up and he is re-
ouired to certify out the statements to
the county auditors. At the same time
the secretary of the executive co'lheii
is required to keep tab and certify an
this to the state auditor but in dit
sfercnt way The bill mentioned was to
simplify all this and place ii entirely IN
the hands of the secretary of the eXecu-
tive council. II failed of passage be
cause legislators were too thlck-"ltted
tc understand these little niceties. And
so when it came to handling the tele-
phone business this year there was
some conflict between the state auditor
and the secretary of the executive
council and they narrowly missed Sc
rlous disagreement. 1t was finally COM
promised by the assignment of clerk
in the auditors office to assist the sec
Iretary of the executive council and to-
gether they will do the work There is
a vast amount of labor in connection
with the handling of the assessment
matters and it must be done quickly.
IL fact it became necessary for some OF
the clerks to break the Sabbath yester-
DAY and do some Sunday work in order
to have everything ready to send out on
time. The certificates which so to the
county auditors on all classes of prop
seity assessed by the state board show
the assessments by assessment dis
'tficts and this involves vast amount
o. figuring.
The telephone assessment figures
have been but little considered in the
light of the more important railroad
and express figures. The four or five
telegraph companies and the nearly 700
telephone companies We're found by the
executive council to be worth about six
and half million dollars. A great
many of the companies are not quite
valuable. The Western Union Tele-
graph Company was found to have a
value of S2.32S.3O0 in Iowa, and the
Postal Telegraph Company s2S7,2 ,265
The only telephone company which
went over the million mark was the big
Iowa Telephone Company of Davenport
and other cities. The following are
some of the figures on valuation of
leading telephone companies of the
