A MASTADON
TUSK FOUND
A RELIC OF PREHISTORIC
TIMES DISCOVERED
Jump-Off-Joe's Summit was the
Scene of the Discovery-ls
now on Exhibition at This
Office.

Don cresswell brought to this
office today curiosity he unearth-
ed near the top Of Jump-Off-Joe.
1t is supposed to be the tusk of a
mastadon. 1t is about five feet
long and six inches in diameter at
the largest part. Mr.. Cresswell
noticed what he thought to be a
bone sticking out of the side of the
hill where the wheels had cut the
soil away, and being interested in
such matters he dug it up and
brought it to town. 1t is badly
decayed but enough of it remains
to show the general shape and size.
1t is on exhibition at this office and
those who desire to see it are in
vited to come up.

New Town Pump.

We are at last to have town well
that will be accessible to every one
and supply the demands for a plenti-
full water supply. Through the efforts
of q. E. Finley, funds have been raised
to purchase pump and put it into the
well on the commons north of First
street. This well, which has in the
past been supplied with bucket and
rope, whick were out of repair most OF
the time, has large supply of fine
water and will answer all the pur-
poses of town well, where the citi-
zens may get water for various pur-
poses, and where farmers who come to
town may water their horses. The
well is the property of the railroad
company and Supt. Beemer has kind
" allowed the town to take it for the
uses above mentioned.

VALUE OF THE INTERuRRAN.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The Keokuk-
Warsaw interurban line carried 25,-
900 passengers during the month Of
July. The interurban has been a
trifie backward in Iowa, but the re-
suits everywhere argue most strongly
in its favor. 1t is feared and argued
here and there that the interurban
will antagonize the old steam road,
and will in turn be antagonized by 1t.
The same argument might apply to
the good road, to the permanent i'm
provement of the country road. In
fact, the interurban proves a valua'
BILE feeder for the steam road, and no
matter how many roads there be in
a given territory there always is room
for more. The argument against the
interurban, if argument it can be call
ed, will scarcely hold good beside the
fact that the interurban as a rule
proves a money-maker from the start,
where it often takes much time to put
steam railway into the list of paying
properties. The steam road in the
west had to create country and had
to create business. The interurban
finds the business and the country
waiting for it.

the rider would throw an involuntary
somersault and probably injure his
tack or kill himself. Volo overcomes
this by perfect mastery Of his wheel.
There is a certain point in the flight
when the momentum of the wheel
seems to overcome the resistance of
the air. At this moment Volo dexter
ousIy throws his wheel down and the
bicycle drops to the platform, strikA
ing fairly on both wheels. This en-
ables the rider to descend safely and
with great speed.
Volo's real name is Charles B.
Clarke. He is man of rather small
stature, and, with his close-trimmed
beard, is the perfect type of a young
physician. In fact, he is 'Doc"Clarke

\ entum would make him fall in the
open space. The whole thing, there
fore, had to be worked out with math-
ematical precision.
Ancilotti, who performs this great
feat, is an Italian. He was born in
Turin, Italy, about hirty-four years
ago. His father was a famous per-
former on the wheel and was, in fact.
the first European artist to give a
public exhibition on bicycle. That
was forty years ago. Young Anci-
lotti began his career as a performer
at the age of four years. He was n
member of his fathers troupe and
performed series of tricks on tiny
wheel. The gap" which he exploits
at the Barnum & Bailey circus is mis-
own invention.

HOW THREE THRILLING
TRICKS ARE PERFORMED
Feats Of Bcyclsts Bafnsm & BaHeys Circss Involve
Some Interesting Problems In Mathematics
and Requirc Remarkable Nerve.

"Thrillers" is the only word that
aptly describes the sensational fea-
lures of the big Barnum G. Bailey cir.
Gus this year. There is an unusually
large number of these "thrillers, "but
three of them stand out with promi-
nence. In the language of the circus
bill, "Volo, the Volitant," cycles the
aerial arch; Solo descends a ladder
on single wheel while carrying 2
companion on his shoulders and An
cilotti turns somersault on a BIZ
cycle while looping the gap" This,
however, gives no adequate idea OF
the character of the acts nor the SEN
Stations they produce when seen for
the first time.
Perhaps the most interesting OF
these three acts is the whirlwind de-
scent and flight Of the daring Volo,
Starting from a platform elevated fif.
ty feet in the air, volo wheels down
runway ninety-three feet in length,
secures sufficient momentum to fly
| fifty feet through space, lands on a
second incline, and descends to the
ground WITH the speed of an express
train.
The act displays great cleverness
as we'll as remarkable nerve. The in
cline is less than three feet in width
and the slightest swerving of the
wheel would cause the rider to dart
over the edge and be dashed to the
ground. The cleverness of the rider
is also shown in bringing tae wheel
down to the second incline. Should
the bicycle strike on the back wheel

-Harlan has gotten into a squabble

Harlan has gotten into squabble
on account of tax for free public
library. The proposition was submit
ted to vote and carried by a hand
some majority. But the city council
refuses to levy the tax. The conten.
ton is that the election is illegal, as
a number of women were permitted
to vote. The matter will be submit
ted to the courts. perhaps the way
the women voted ought to be taken
into account" comments the Burling-
ton Hawk-Eye. while no informa-
ton on this point is at hand it is dol
lars to doughnuts that they all voted
for the library and hence the vote,
even if it should be pronounced tech
nically illegal is more reasonable,
sensible and just than many things
that may conform with the code OF

wHERE is IT?

An Iowa man has discovered, he says,
And strange it is to relate.
That the garden of Eden Of ancient
renown
Was located right in his state;
He says he can tell where the apple
tree grew,
And says he doesn't doubt it at ALL
That he's found out where Eve got
the pippin Of fate
That caused Father Adam to fall
He says he has found the tracks in
the grass
That were made by the willy old
snake,
And found the four rivers that water.
ed the place,
And he swears that it isn't fake.
Bue he doesn't say where in the state
of his choice
This beautiful garden was laid,
The place where that Iowa woman
named Eve
From a rib of old Adam was mada
Sioux City might strive for the honor
at stake,
1t has rivers enough and to spare,
Or Des MONIES or Dubuque might en-.
ter the race,
And Keokuk's chances are fair;
And poor oskaloosa and Burlington,
too,
Might claim to cinch on the site,
And brave Council Bluffs might strug-
gle with Boone,
And add to the zest of the fight.
All, who will decide where that apple
tree grew
That plunged our poor race into
woe,
What part of old Iowa furnished the
snake
That fooled the first Iowans so?
For the towns are all jealous and
waiting to hear
Which is entitled to claim
The honor Of finding the first human
pair,
And the apple, the snake and the
blame
Pray tell us which town was the spot
of renown,
And where did, old Adam get mail
And where did they rent their steam
heated fiat, a.....
And where was poor Cain locked in
Jail?
Let someone get busy and settle this
thing,
For the world has its eye on the
state,
And the spot that can claim the birth
place of Eve
Is place that all men will cal
great.
