ANCIENT QUARRY IN NEsRAskA.
Was Worked by a Race Of People Un-
known to the scientiafa.

Was Worked by a Race Of Pesp1s Un.
known to the scientists.
In the great fint quarries near Ne
hawka, Neb., covering more than a
township, party Of well-known scien-
lists has found what they think is evil
dence Of the existence Of lost race.
hitherto unknown. It Ia thought that
this prehistoric people belonged to
neither the red men nor the mound
builders. But who they were and at
what remote age they inhabited the
Missouri valley cannot now be ascer-
tanned.
They were race Of patient plodders
whose knowledge and handiwork had
not been developed beyond the primi-
tive ideas of the stone age. By their
industry 1t Is shown that they were
not of the nomadic, indolent Indian
race; by their ignorance and crude
handiwork that they were not of the
refined, almost civilized mound build
ers, the first American aborigines,
whose existence Is definitely known.
Then who were they, whence did
they come and by whom were they OBJ
liberated? Aside from the mound build
ers and the latter-day Indians no
American aborigines are known to
scientists, and in these quarries Is evil
dence of a strange race.
There are no doubt the quarries are
of great age. The entire series of
mines has been buried beneath an av-
erage of ten feet of soil. The accumu-
latlon of this must have taken GEN.
turies. 1t Is known positively the con-
dition has not changed at all in 100
years. Then how many centuries did
it take for this ten feet of soil to cover
the whole of the mines?
To settle the mooted question wheth-
er these quarries, situated on the Ne
hawka fruit farm owned by Isaac M.
Pollard, were the work of some arti1-
cial agency or of nature, an unusually
large party of prominent scientists was
induced by State Archeologist E. e.
Blackman to visit the quarries. OF the
ologist Blackman gave out the follow
ing statement:
Mr.. Pollard, when he arranged the
visit to this spot a year ago, caused a
cross section to be cut in the brow of
the hill and laid bare the face Of the
quarry. This excavation is eighty feet
in length, six feet wide and averages
ten feet in depth. It shows that the
artisans removed two layers of solid
limestone and one Of decayed rock Be

scattered on the surface and In the de-

rocks showing where the flint nodules
were taken out. On the large pieces
Of limestone in the quarry pit one may
see fractures, as If they had been

tion is perpendicular wall twelve

Plea in Favor of Sports In the Large
Institutions.
The day is past when the whole mis-
sion Of our colleges was to turn out
young men of over-developed brains
in under developed bodies. In 1880 the
founders of Andover Academy includ-

Of the givers, ITO instruct youth, not
only in English and Latin grammar,
writing, arithmetic and those sciences
wherein they are commonly taught; but
more especially to learn them the great
and real business of living"
Except for the small proportion Of
college graduates who equip themselves
for the business of teaching other
youths the curricula of their student
years, the aim of the undergraduate
life cannot be better expressed than
in the words of the founders Of An
dover, written a century and quarter
ago, 1.-The great end and real business
of living" And in general 1t cannot
be disproved that the modern interest
in bodily betterment in the develop
has. done more to make young men
manly, healthy and self-relfant, with
clean ideals and wholesome lives, than
the dead languages and higher math-
ematics.
Every autumn graduate football
players flock back to the universities
by the dozens to help coach the
elevens. Looking these men over, it
is fair to remark that they are as fine
and representative body of Ameri-
can citizens as can be grouped, and
that if their capacity for attention has
been ravaged and degraded" their lives
do not show resultant disaster. If the

capacity for attention is unquestion-

Citizens union, in which are embodied
three letters to him signed by Thomas
A.. Fulton, secretary of the Citizens
union.
The first two of Mr.. Fulton's letters
to Mr. Jerome speak discouragingly of
the situation and seek an interview of
the district attorney. In the second of
his letters; dated September Is, Mr.,
Fulton says.
There is much inside friction in the
Citizens union about the nominations.
Had the executive committee called the
district chairmen together and had a
candid with them, they would not so
persistently and blfthely have urged
the nomination of Mr.. Low, and one
person in particular (not Mr.. Cutting)
is being sharply criticised for the pres
ent situation.
Some of the most determined oppo-
nents of Lows nomination are of our
best district chairmen, generally anti
machine republicans in Tammany dis
tricts, but men who accomplished splen-
did results in 1901, men who know their
districts and who contantly return with
the reports that the people will not take
