received by the Seattle Post-Intelli-
gencer from Dawson. Y. T. II was

The hair and skin Of the beast are in
a perfect state Of preservation. al
though the flesh is somewhat decom-
posed and the big tusks which remain
fastened to the skull. are in good con-
dition. Il Is estimated that the skele-
ton Is worth $50 600. as there are but
one or two o. them in existence in as
good condition as this. The masto-
don was discovered buried in an old

Manhattan. Kans-. March l4.-one
Of the straugest cases that has ever
been heard of in Riley Co. Is that Of
the three-year-old daughter Of Mr..
Jonas Brubaker Of this place,
Some time ago the little girl took
whooping cough which was followed
by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her. she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
Of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles. but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest Of the story:
We began TO give her Dodd's Kid
ney pills and after she had taken
about three and half boxes. she was
entirely cured. Now she is well as
any child. running and playing as IL
nothing had ever been the matter
with her The doctors said she was
beyond the reach OF medicine. Dodd's
Kidney Pills certainly saved our lit
tie girls life. when she was so far
into the chronic stage of Brights
Disease that we thought nothing could

at least. spared any anxiety as to the
future. and were not destined 10 suf-
fer those pecuniary trials which often
add so much to the sorrows of a be.

A reward had been offered by the
police authorities for any information
that might lead to the discovery of

and presented themselves prominent
