GLACIAL MAN PROOF.
Kansas University Has Buffalo
Skeleton of Ages Past.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 30.-The Uni
versity of Kansas has another proof to
offer that America was inhabited In
glacial times. Prof Williston, who de-
clares that the Lansing skull'' once be-
longed to the body of prehistoric man,
now comes forward with this statement,
backing up the university curator, H.
F. Martin. Here is the proof:
There rest in the museum of the Uni
versity of Kansas at Lawrence the
bones of buffalo that were discovered
by Mr.. Martin in western Kansas sew
eral years ago. They were taken from
the place where they have been imbed-
ded in the rock This stratum of the
earth was pronounced as of the glacial
period. The bones of the buffalo were
of the same substance as the rock In
the skeleton of this was found imbed-
ded an arrow head. 1t was made of
flint and was so skilfully and delicately
fashioned that it could not be mistaken
tor other than it was
When he made the discovery in 1885,
Mr.. Martin asserted that he had brought
to light sufficient evidence to prove the
hab1tation of man in North America
thousands of years ago. but his story
was received with incredulity by emf
nent scientists of the east. Prof. Willis
ton, an authority in paleontology, how
ever, credited the proof of Mr.. Martin
and now boldly declares his belief.
In the summer of 1895, Mr. Martin
found the fossils perfectly and orderly
preserved, of two buffalo bulls. three
COWS and two calves under 80 feet of
the fine soil known as plains loess by
the Smoky hill river The skeletons
were lying they had fallen and posi-
lively showed no disturbance of the for
nation around them They had been
quickly covered by the sediment of the
river when it was 40 or so feet higher
than it now flows. The specimens are
of long extinct species and are the
only ones in existence except a frag-
mentary fossil found in Alaska. and
now in the National museum. No
archaeo1ogist can deny that the species
lived during the pleistocene age or the
time Immediately following the glacial
age. 1t was contemporary of the
hairy mammoth, also a resident in Kan
sas in that ancient and mysterious time,
specimens of which were found in the
same kind of material near where Mr..
Martin found his buffalo.
This extinct animal has since been
named the Bison occidentales1 Prof
W1ll1Ston, talking about Martins find
emphatically approved of it, and gave
the following statement: Martin is one
OF the most careful and reliable collect
ors 1 ever knew. He has had twenty
years experience and is absolutely re-
liable. l am sure his statements are
true. And for the contemooraneit,
OF man with the bison occidentales
there is no longer the slightest doubt
in my mind, inasmuch as the arrow
head proves it,
AS to the probable time of this ancient
man, DR.. Williston would not commi;
himself further than that it was thou.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

If the James gang had ridden in on a
presentation of the PLAY, THE James
Boys in Missouri" as it has been given
in Topeka. they probably would have
felt tempted to give up their avocation
for something which could not be pre-
sented on the stage in a manner SO far
from the real business of robbing banks,
holding up trains, burning and killing,
and in general getting even with

it is not the fault of the company that
the production doesn't have more sat

to produce anywhere near the same

perience would give: but admitting
that, George Klimt and those with him

who was always appearing with his
band of horse thieves trying to get rid
of the Jameses and at the end of every
act the whole Bentley gang putting up
their hands like pump-handles in an
swer to demands from Jesse and Frank
James, is rather funny. The most thrill
ing event is that of the burning of the
James nome ana the rescue OF Jennie
Summers, Jesse's sweetheart. from the
flames. Frank comes In just in time to
turn his two six-shooters on the amazed
Bentley gang. The holdup of the Chi

of Kansas City is not what it might be
made. There is so much smoke from
