ABOUT ARIZONA CURIOS
Local Residents As Well As Tourists
 Responsible for Vandalism.

| The following from an exchange is partly right and partly wrong, but. ! anyhow, it is good subject to keep be-
 fore the people. The clipping says: There is not a curio trust yet, but l there are fears that before long there
 will be. The fear in Arizona is making , itself manifest, says the Journal Democrat, in the efforts Of the Phoenix 1 board of trade to prevent the shipping
 from the territory of large collections of curios and Indian goods. The board 1 of trade feels that if every tourist who visits the ruins and mounds around the l territory sends a bunch of baskets. stone axes or skulls back to their 1 friends in less favored regions, before i long there will not be enough curios i left to draw any more tourists. There | is a serious side to the situation, for it 1 is claimed that curio firms all over the United States are sending agents into the southwest to collect everything col l lectable, from cacti up. and the curio 1 trust bids fair to become reality The 1 collection of the late Dr. J. Miller, for years president of the Arizona Anti | quarian society. is said to be in the market. It is one of the largest and
 most valuable collections of Indian and
 
 | movement on foot to secure it for the l University of Arizona"
 ! It is not a fear of the supply of curios giving out that prompts Arizonians to
 make a fight for the protection of those l things. It is rather the number that
 are destroyed in the securing of the few. There is no objection to the buy l ing of baskets, pottery, etc, for those things, while legitimately curios, are articles of present manufacture and 1 will never be gone till the Indians pass away or become civilized. But the
 thing that Arizonians object to, and
 that should be protested against by all those who have any interest or desire
 for the final revelation of the ancient history of this region, is the vandalism l that is carried on in the rifling and | thoughtless excavation of old mounds, cliff dwellings, etc. Tourists with a
 desire, more or less laudable, to dig uI l something themselves, and with nc
 knowledge of what or where they are digging, destroy the walls of old buiid- | ings and, of course, carry off what they
 find, though it is against certain orders of the interior department. They stir up old bones and mix things generally
 so the real scientist has little chance l for accurate and methodical inveStiga- | ton.
 It is true that the finest specimens ever found in Arizona have most oi them been carried away and it is only te be hoped the university will come into possession of Dr. Millers valuable collection. But mere than all else the ruins should be protected for in theil architecture and the materials of whicl
 they are constructed are buried nc
 doubt more secrets than can be told by

an occasional stone aX or human skeleton. The axes and bones have all ready been given plenty of time and opportunity to talk. These ruins are good for the tourist to look at but their study is fruitful only to men who have devoted life study to such things Their paving over ruins their value both to scientist and tourist. But the tourist is not alone to blame. Ther" are many home people who take alto gether too little interest in such things. Were it not so the Arizona Antiquarian society would receive a more hearty support and the old mound east Of PhoeriX, the most valuable curiosity in these parts. would long ago have been eXcavated and put in a condition so it would be a real attraction to tourists The tourists are not to blame fer look ing at the curious. And when they find it Arizona can not blame them for talk ing it home. unless Arizona does some thing herself for its protection.

HUGH JOSEPH CHISHOLM.

Scotch by ancestry, Canadian by birth, true American by choice is the record of Hugh Joseph Chisholm, the head of the International Paper com pany. He was born on May ?, 1S47. on the Canadian side of the Niagara river and was educated in local schools and afterward in a business college at To- ronto. Then, at the age of Is years, he entered practical business life. His first engagement was in the railway news and publishing line, his business covering four thousand miles of road time he had reached his first quarter century he began to turn his attention to the great enterprises with which he is now identified.
 About the year 1882 MT Chisholm observed the splendid natural advan- tages offered by the upper reaches of Androscoggin river in Maine for man ufacturing purposes. in the form of an inexhaustible supply of pure water and practically unlimited water power. For years he planned to secure there a suitable tract of land for the establish ment of an industrial town. He was then in business at Portland and made many a trip up the Androscoggin. not merely for hunting and fishing, but with great industrial enterprises in his minds eye. In the late eighties he got control of the land that he wanted and also of the then moribund Rum- ford Falls and Buckfield railroad. The latter he promptly developed into the Portland and Rumford Falls railroad

Hugh j. McGOwan's Brother Receivers
His Health in This City.

There is at least one man in this city

came to Indianapolis several weeks ago to
visit his brother and to try, if possible.
to recuperate from an unusually severe
siege of illness. When he was first taken
sick Mr.. MCGOWAN was a man Of goody
size, but when he arrived in indianapolis
he had shrunken so that his clothes hung
about him like garments made by real
London tailor He had not been in this
city long, however, until he noticed Il de-

SEVENTEEN-YEAR L0CUSTS.


If seventeen-year locusts are as numer-
Gus elsewhere in Marion county as they
are on a piece of property that John r.
Pearson owns at Forty-frst and Meridian
streets they will soon develop into YER
liable plague of the kind that annoyed one
of the Pharaohs and the children of Israel.
Mr.. Pearson went out to look at his prop
erty yesterday, and while tramping around
over the grass noticed that the place was
alive with locusts in every stage of growth
and development. Fat, insolent locusts
puffed up with good eating were laZily
promenading around thin, hungry locusts
just out of their shells were nosing about
for food locusts in the half-and-half stage,
just coming from their armor plate protec-
tive covering, were beginning operations,
and under the sod, as Mr.. Pearson soon
found by a little digging. there were hordes
of the pests still incased in their shells.
The trees and grass bore witness that the
carnival the lOcusts were holding was not
particularly beneficial to arboreal develop
ment.
Securing a small paper box and lining ii
with grass to make the locusts feel COM
Portable and homelike, Mr.. Pearson brought
a boxful of his unlimited tenants to town
and exhibited them to his friends as
proof that the seventeen-year locust is al
ready here in large numbers. He scooped
up about two hundred without the least
difficulty and made little visible inroad
on the supply in sight. Farmers coming
in from the country report that the locusts
are appearing in great numbers and that
they are beginning to be a nuisance.

BODY FOUND AT TRACK SIDE.


Sebastian G. Dollries, a stonemason, living
at 1913 Sheldon street, was instantly killed
last night by Big Four passenger train
at the crossing al South State street. 1t is
supposed that the train from Cincinnati
due in this city at II o'clock struck Doll
ries.
Shortly after IL o'clock the son of E.
Nancy, a night Waterman at the Tucker
& Dorsey factory, was walking on State
street. The boy was accompanied by a
young man, and they were returning from
an entertainment. When they approached
the railroad they were met by a strange
man. The latter walked across the rail-
road tracks and asked the boys to follow
him. He told them that man was lying
on the other side of the tracks. stabbed and
probably fatally wounded. The boys fol-
lowed the man about sixty feet east, where
they saw a black object lying alongside the
tracks. The boys said they could barely
distinguish the features of a human be-
ing. Young Nancy ran over to the fac
tory and told his father. While he was
away the strange man disappeared.
The elder Nancy came out with Ian
tern and viewed the body. He then went
back to the factory and notified the police
station that a man had been stabbed. BIZ
clcle Policemen Griffin and Hull and the
City Dispensary ambulance. with DR..
Goodwin, went out. An examination of
the body by DIR. Goodwin disclosed the fact
that the man had been instantly killed
The mans features were unrecogniZable
A search Of his clothes produced card
from the Stone Masons' International
Union, No. 1, with the name of s. G. Doll
ries. The dues had been paid up this
month.
The police made an examination of the
neighbOrhoody in the hope of finding some
thing that would lead TO a knowledge of
how Rollries met his death. About sixty
feet from where the body lay Dollries's
hat was found. 1t was ground to pieces.
On the plank pavement at State street a
large spot of blood was found. showing
that Dollries had fallen against it. A large
hole was found over the left eye. 1t is
thought this caused when Dollries fell
against the pavement. From the pavement
to where the body was found the ground
was torn up. showing that he was dragged
by the train. 1t is the supposition of the
mangled By humping against the numerous
switches at this point. The body was taken
10 the city mOrgue.
Bicycle Policemen Griffin and Hull went
10 Dollries's home after the body was placed
in the morgue. They aroused Mrs. DOLL
ries. Griffin told the woman of her hus-
bands death and she tainted. Hull then
went to several of the neighborS and
brought them in TO care for her. When
she had revived sufficiently she said the
family had moved from Cincinnati a year
ago. She said her husband left home about
o'clock last night 10 go to the Stone
band drank a great deal. Dollries had
three children, the oldest of whom is nine
years of age. The youngest is baby two
months old.

INCREMENT IN SCHOOL.
shortridge Students Have Fun with
Instructor Eugene Mueller.

instructor Eugene mueIier'
a good deal OF merriment was caused at
the Shortridge High School yesterday morn
ing, and the fun centered in Room F,
whose teacher. Eugene Mueller. was lately
married TO Miss Ottillie E. Sondermann.
Mr.. Mueller is one of the most popular
members of the Shortridge faculty, being
instructor of German. He tried hard TO
keep the fact OF his marriage a secret, but
one of the girls in the room discovered the
announcement in the paper and was not
slow in apprising her schoolmates.
One of the girls informed Mr.. Mueller
that she had secured a musical programme,
and he unsuspectingly told her to bring in
the persons who were going to play This
was done, but instead of the customary
rag time, which is always played during
the first fifteen minutes, the soft strains
of wedding march were waited through
the corridors As the students became more
and more enthusiastic the newly married
teacher became redder and redder. At the
end of the first number another was an
nounced, which also proved to be wedding
march. This caused the pupils in other
rooms to have an idea that there was
something doing and soon Room F was
filled with visitors.
The programme" however, was at last
finished, and Mr.. Mueller gave sigh of
relief, thinking his troubles were over.
However, the students had more stunts
10 spring as later events of the morning
proved. During the period between reci-
tations girl walked up to the desk and
presented the teacher with a petition from
the pupils of that room in which they
wished him many happy returns and a
long and peaceful statE of blissful matri-
mony." To further embasrass the instructor
one boy asked what the paper meant, and
said he had Just come in The late arrival,
however, had to receive his information
from another source, as Mr.. Mueller only
blushed and murmured that cit happened
yesterday"
The students at last took pity on the new
fiedged husband. However. rumors of more
pranks to-day were afioat through the
halls, and it is said that the pupils are not
yet through bestowing their congratula-
tions.
