eoapstone Vessels IN All stages %
Completion unearthed.

GomptGkIoN 8NG9fNuE0s
A discovery Of great scientific inter
est and value has been made In North
Wilbraham, where an ancient Indian
quarry, with all the primitive quarry
ing implements. soapstOne yessls In al
stages OF completion. and other articles,
has been unearthed The great scien-
tific value of the discovery Is nos so
much in the articles of Indian manu-
facture found in the quarry. as In the
rude tools with which the work was
carried on. which have been dlscov-
cred where their Indian owners drop
ped them when they visited the place
for the last time. The presence Of the
tools close to the places they were
used is of great Importance in definite
ly establishing the purposes for which
they were used, the manner OF use.
and other questions that have bear
ing upon the methods of the early IN
hahitants OF this region.
The quarry is located in a pasture on
a tributary of Twelve Mile Brook, and
embraces a tract about six acres In
extent. Here there are hundreds or
soapstone boulders embedded In the
earth, few~of them extending many
feet above ground. 1t was at first be-
Iieved that this was an out-cropping
OF a ledge, but the excavation devei-
oped the fact that 1t was a collection
of boulders evidently Of glacial origin.
These being of soft material, offered
the Indians an opportunity for securing
rude vessels by cutting them from the
rock. The method they employed was
to select a spot on the face OF bould-
er and with a rude implement, usually
of trap rock, pick, and cut away at the
surface until they shaped the vessel
desired They battered away ring
of material from around a piece from
which the vessel was to be made,
bringing 1t to the desired size and out.
ode shape. and then broke 1t from the
rock and finished it at their leisure.
The inside was followed out. probably
with smaller implements Of the same
kind as were used in other parts or
the work. The handles were cut on
the ends, some dishes having two, and
others one, and the whole was smooth
ed and polished with sharp edged
stones.
Upon the faces of some of the bould-
ers at the quarry have been found tho
partially completed vessels, and exca-
walton about the boulders brings to
light many parts of vessels, quarrying
implements, and slivers of trap rock.
The latter are very numerous and are
supposed to have been Clipped of by
the Indian workmen from larger mass
es of trap rock from which they fash
toned their working tools There is no
trap rock nearer to Wilbraham than
the Mt. Tom range. and it is believed
that they brought masses of trap from
the talus of that mountain, or from
some other point along the range

PREVALENCE OF CATARRH
Growing Use Of HyOmei Will Soon Show a
Decreasapt this Disease.

Statistics show that at least o. out
of every 100 persons in this State are
suffering from catarrh in some form.
While the disease is one of the most
comihon with which the medical pro-
fession has to contend, it also is one
of the most dangerous. This is owing
to its tendency to affect the bronchial
tubes, causing consumption and other
diseases of the respiratory organs.
The discovery of Hyomei and its in
creased use has already reduced the
percentage of persons suffering from
catarrh. This wonderful remedy is
the simplest and most pleasant of all
treatments. Just put little Hyomei
in the pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, breathe through the in
haler for ten minutes four times a
day. Relief will be seen from the
first treatment; cure will soon follow.
It is the true treatment for diseases
of the respiratory organs.
Scientific and medical men recon-
mend it. Leading druggists have SO
much faith in it that they guarantee
a cure or they viii refund the money.
In this city Feldmeyer Brothers are
selling it upon that plan, so that any
of our readers can use Hyomei with
out its costing them cent unless 1T
cures. Can there be fairer wayT

The coldseeker.

Half a dozen Mexican cowboys rode
into Douglass yesterday having In
charge a wild man whom they had cap
tured in Sonora, twelve miles below
Cos. The mans hair was long and dis
hevelled, his eyes were set far back
in his head, and his clothes were torn
into shreds. The cowboys came upon
him in the mountains near pool OF
water. and had great difficulty in cap
turing him. When he was finally
caught with lasso, the cowboys bound
him hand and foot, tied him on q
horse and rode with him to Frontier
as. where he was given food and cloth.

to Douglas and turned him over to

LOVE-MAKING NOT LUNACY.
Cincinnati Sanitary Expert Frees Girl
Who Annoyed a Preacher.

Cincinnati. Aug. 24.-'I will never
make love to Mr. Bigelow again, but 1
will continue to love him just the same"
Such was the declaration made by
Miss Eva st. Clair Metcalf aged %
years, dressmaker. to DR.. Walter l..
Davis, sanitary expert of the probate
court, today.
Miss Metcalf was presented in probate
court on a lunacy warrant. Her weak
letters to Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow, pas
tor of the Vine Street Institutional
church, and politician at large of the
Tom J. Johnson branch of the Demo-
ratic-Socialistic party. Mr.. Bigelow
was the candidate for secretary of state
on the Democratic ticket and during the
last presidential campaign stunped the
west for Bryan.
Miss Metcalf pleaded guilty to the soft
Impeachment of love and not guilty to
the harsh impeachment of lunacy. The
court held that, while there might be
improperly in a young woman making
uncalled-for love to a married popular
preacher, there was not necessarily in
sanity.
During the examination Miss Metcalf
remarked: You can place me in a sani-
tarium if you like, but 1 will always
love Rev. Mr.. Bigelow. l knew he was
married, but he preached sermons which
l thought INDICATED his unhappiness, and
1 answered his appeals. which I believ-
ed were directed to me. 1 might have
been mistaken. However. I Will never
make love to him again. s-- 4ssl-lf

FRENCH MINISTER WEEDS.
Camille Pelletan Shocks His Friends
by Falling in Love.

Paris, Aug. 24.-The fact that there
was no religious ceremony at the mar
riage of Camille Pelletan, the French
minister of marine is commented upon.
The civil ceremony was at the Marie
of the First reimbursement, Premier
Combes being the minister's first wit
ness.
The newspapers comment adversely
on the fact that Minister Pelletan is go
ing to take his honeymoon trip on
government cruiser, under the pretense
that he wishes to inspect it. An OPP
position payer suggests that it would
be the best thing for France If the
minister took a submarine boat, as 1t
would have to go down, and might
never come up. Mr.. Pelletan is %
and his bride is 33.
The brides father, a sheriff, served
papers on Mr.. Pelletan when the latter
was in financial difficulties. They be
came friends and later the sheriff ask
ed the minister to use his influence TO
have the daughter transferred from her
position as teacher in a government
school in the country to a Paris school.
Mr.. Pelletan acquiesced and the first
thing the new Paris teacher did was to
give Mr. Pelletan lessons in love

English Farmers for the veldt.

A committee of the Imperial South
African association has been formed for
the purpose of establishing small an
ty colonies on the veldt The different
county organizations throughout the
realm will make a selection of farmers
suitable for the enterprise, and each
settlement will be named after the
British county which supplies the emf
grants Certainly it is desirable to
Strengthen the white element in South
Africa, especially when an invasion of
Indians and Chinese appears to be at
hand And the best form of that
strengthening is British emigrants used
to country life and work. But is the
farming class well adapted for the pur-
pose? In the first place one might have
thought that it was wanted at home
Among the gentlemen named as taking
part in the scheme are the Duke of
Westminster and other great land own
ers. They may find no difficulty ten
ants. but small squires are not so for
tunate Moreover, it must be feared that
the English farmer will not easily adapt
himself to the conditions of South At
rican agriculture, as different as could
be in all respects to those in which he
has been reared The more successful
he has been at home the less inclined he
will be to go to school again.-London

Four cowboys start over the arena al
break-neck speed and while going al
this gait, lean over the sides of their
horses and pick up these potatoes from
the ground. Then the race between the
horse and the man. Then comes the
cowboy duel and drag for life, mar
velous performance, and for the finale
the cowboys wild ride, in which the
entire company participate. when some
twenty bucking horses are brought into
the arena and started to buck, rare and
mitch. This is the most thrilling THING
that can be imagined and one OF the
most dangerous scenes ever presented
to the American public. This great at
traction will be here for wednesday
