Francis H. Clergue, the great wonder
worker of the t'Soos,'' has already accom-
plished SO much that when he recently
predicted that within ten years there
would be city of 100000 people at the
500 there were few who did not believe,
that it would come to pass.
One on the American side, one on the
Canadian side, the two vigorous young
cities, spurred on by similar ambitions,
having the foundations Of their prosperity

Ste. Marie river, with the breadth and
depth of Lake, Superior back of 1t as an
inexhaustible mill pond, are now realizing

The Canadian 500 had only 1900 people
when MIR. Clergue first set foot in it in
1894. It now has 10000 people. In the
two cities the Lake Superior Consolidated
Water Power company is developing $780,
600 horse power and is applying it to
numerous Industries, the walls of whose
factories are rising on every side or are
already enclosing scenes of industrial ac-
ftivity.

Already since .Clergue took hold. of the
500 opportunity $16,OO0,000 have been
withdrawn from bank vaults in old Phi1a-
delphia and paid out for the work he has
done up to the present time.
At least $4,000, 900 more of hard cash
will be required for the completion Of the
works Mr.. Clergue has in hand. And
whenever he wants the money he has it,
All of the great work has been carried on
without begging for support or without
publicly selling stock.
Already Mr.. Clergue's Industries and
his preparations for them employ 5000
men. This number will soon be increased
to 10, 900.
The company's payroll is now $3.50, 900

SKELETON FOUND

Workmen Dig Up One on
Eleventh Street
BURIED MANY YEARS
Bones Crumbled to White Dirt
When Touched

While digging a sewer trench in the
alley between Waco and Jackson avenues
and about fifty feet south OF Eleventh
street workmen unearthed the skeleton

buried about two feet beneath the surface.
The body had been buried many years.

found as they were on the day of his
death. Not one was missing Most OF
tho limb bones were found, although some
were broken. The lower limbs were in
cased IN leather, as the vorkrnen found
this covering, but partially decayed 1t
was like rotten cloth All would hang
together, yet could be easily pulled apart
By this means the Korknen and the
CT roHer decided Yesterday that the bones
were those Of either cowboy or an IN
dian. 1t is impossible TO tell whether they
are the bones Of an Indian or not as
the most distinguishing characteristic of
the Indian. the high cheek bones, are
missing.
Coroner McCollister was Immediately
called to the scene and helped the men
dig up The skeleton, and yesterday after
noon put all that could BE procured into a
small box and buried them in Maple
Grove cemetery.

earthed by workman named Friend, and
after the first investigation and learning
what it was, the work was declared of on

Several persons who have lived in
Wichita many years were questioned
about the skeleton Yesterday. but none

today. and it is possible that he may find
some one who viii throw some light on
who this person was.

Don't stir up a beehive unless you
know it is rich one" said an apiarist
to visitor at his bee farm.

alone altogether" was the reply,
They have too angry a buzz about
them to win my confidence"
You are not used to them, that's
ALL" said the beeman. For example.
these hives are full OF honey, and If

as to sort OF suffcate the sentries,
can topple hive over. handle the bees
like SO many beans, clean the honey
combs and carry them of. The bees

words the speaker performer his ex-

Of honey.
IF those hives had been nearly emp

been lucky to have escaped with my
life. The tenants OF a poor hive sting

That's strange" said the visitor. Il
should think that they would defend
their boards with especial jealousy,
and the more they have the hotter
they would fight"

LAST WORDS OF WEBSTER.
Neighbor Explains Significance OF
Phrase, 81 Still Live"

Concerning last words" A. H. Nc
Rae Of New York has this to say OF
Webster: Il knew an old lady who
was neighbor and intimate friend
of the Websters in Washington. She
explained to me tn meaning Of his
last words-I still live Webster, as
all the world knows, was a hard drink
er. Liquor caused his death. In his
last days he was kept alive by brandy.
which he constantly craved. The day
he died his physician called on him
early in the morning and found him
very low and, as he thought, uncon-
scious. Turning to the nurse, he said:
If he is alive at o'clock give him an
other drink of brandy The family
gathered at the bedside to see him
breathe his last. A clock in the room
struck 8. For a moment he remained
silent; then, as no one offered to help
him, he said, rousng up and opening
his OK eyes, I still live The nurse,
recOllecting the doctors instructions,
hastened to give him another drink.
which proved to be his last, as he re-
lapsed into a quiet stupor and died
within an hour. The old lady did not
have very high opinion of Webster
from moral standpoint, knowing that
the immortal words, I still live, were
uttered for the purpose of getting q
final drink"

Two well-known officials, one OF the
