Mans Antiquity.

An interesting find which VIII attract
much attention from students of archa-
eology has been made by miners in Il
new shaft sunk by the Weir junction
Coal Company, near Pittsburg, Kan.
The miners found imbedded in the fire
clay below the second vein of coal a a
depth OF 80 feet, box made of bark
in rude mannes 1t was imbeddel
solidly In the fire clay and was fos-
silized.
When the box was, broken open three
arrow heads ci'udely made Of flint rock
were found in ii. The comparative close
proximity to the surface might lead TO
the belief that an ancient well or shaft
might have been sunk on the prairie
years ago and the box with its arrow
heads might have been dropped down
by the savage proprietor. But the
miners say the coal veins had not been
disturbed and such well could not
have been sunk and filled up without
being shown in the two coal veins
which were above the tireclay.
On, this theory the finding of the box
below undisturbed coal' veins indicates
tfat man antedates the carboniferuus
period.

kush of Infuriated Bulls.

hush OF infuriated BulIs.
There was an accident shortly after
the close Of noyillada at the Plaza
Mexico that came near resulting In the
death Of few young hopefuls who
took 1t into their heads that they would
ike to Join In the national sport.
Shortly after the crowd left the ring
half dozen young boys of ages rang
Ing from II to 10 years got down into
the bull ring to play bull fight. One
OF the number thought the game was
too slow, so while the ring attendants
were busy about other work he entered
the pen where the bulls were confined
and slyly let one of them into the
ring.
With mad rush the big black bull
entered the ring. One OF the little
boys had been using his plush linen
cape for capa In his plays with the
other boys and he was near the door
when the bull entered Although one
OF the opposite gates was open the bull
made no effort to get away. but rushed
at the boy with the cape.
Iuere WAS Dul one tnlnS IOr tne boy
to do, and he did it. With all the
knowledge which he had gained by
watching the matadors In the ring he
let the bull charge the cape. But his
arms were too short and the bull
struck him hard blow, knocking the
little fellow fully fifty feet and tearing
his shoulder with his horn. The angry
bull then turned his attention to the
red cape.
When the other boys saw the bull
charging them they fed for the fence
and climbed to safety where they
watched the bull tearing the cape.
Finally 1t occurred to one of the older
boys that by all charging for the bull
he might possibly be scared away
from the PROSTATE body of the injured
lad. So with clubs and boards they
drove the bull from the ring. They
gave their attention to the bull none
too quickly, for he had tired of paving
the cape and was making for the boy.
When the doctors got In their work
on the little fellow, whose name Is
Angel Morelos, they found that the
wound was the only thing of conse-
quence, and that although the boy was
senseless from the blow there was
nothing of a really dangerous nature to
fear from the accident. as the hurt
was a flesh wound.-Mexican Herald.

"My information at the time from
Colonel Bankhead was that he had

by Mr.. Whitney, who was as we all re-
member, Mr.. Cleveland's right hand
man. That was at the beginning OF
the national campaign. On Colonel
Bankhead's return from New York he
asked for a conference with me to

friends. 1t was during this conference
that Captain Bankhead informed me
that he was authorized to give me
twenty-five thousand dollars If | would

in the state. In addition to this he
SAID if | would do so be was further

One of the sensational revelations
that has been made during the heated
campaign in Ala bama for the Office OF
president of the state railway commls-
sion is that when the democratic cleo
toral ticket in Alabama in 1897 was
threatened with defeat by that faction
of the party known as the Jefferson
ians (nopulists), of whom Captain
r. F. Kolb, now candidate for railway
commissioner, was the leader, mes
seuger was sent to Captain Holo from
Washington, direct from the national
committee, with an offer. of $4,000 IN
cash and any foreign appointment he
MIGHT ask, salary not to be less than
S.. OOO, if Cleveland should be elected,
il he would put in Alabama a CleVe'
land electoral ticket. The money was
offered him by close friend and the
Office was promised him by one in a
position to promise it, but he spurned
the offer. He refused to betray his
party or his friends, even when offered
gold to do SO and offered donors OF Of
fee.
The story is told to illustrate Cap
tain Kolb's personal honesty and pc
Iitical Loyalty at time when he was
in desperately Strengthened circum
stances. 1t seems that the truth or
the story is vouched for by Congress
man Bankhead who is now opposed
for reelection by Hobson. 1t is stat
ed that Congressman Bankhead is not
a political friend of Captain Kolb. The
Montgomery Journal quotes Congress
man Bankhead as follows: Captain
Reuben Kolb is an honest man in pol
itics. I happen TO know this. He has
been thoroughly tried and did not
waver in lis honest purpose. He was
once sorely tempted, but resisted the
temptation" Then followed the story
as related above.
CAPTAIN KOLB CONFIRMS THE REPORT
When he was asked for confirm
alton Of the story by a representative
of the Montgomery Journal Captain
Kolb said
