past, causing little comment, as they
were thought to be those Of Indians.
Cultivation of the land on the
benches near the river bank, followed
by heavy rains, caused washouts to
occur frequently, when human re-
mains were brought to view in several
localities, widely apart. Investiga.
tion shows that this burial ground
runs for two miles along the banks Of
the river, parallel with the river,
the graves being in regular order,
about four feet apart, and CORES
ponding with the points Of the com.
pass. All Of these people were
buried facing the east. With each
was found an earthen bowl, inside OF
which was . mussel shell, the bowl
in every instance being in the curve
Of the right arm, which embodied the
same, which was no doubt religious
rite.
In most cases the bones and bowl
crumDle 10 dust when exposed TO the
air, but some were in fair state Of
preservation. In one instance only
was a war implement found, and that
was q spearhead about nine inches
long, in the grave Of what appeared
to have been giant, while the others
appeared to be below the average man
of today. The skulls are unusually
thick, some Of them a half inch or
more in thickness, with receding
foreheads and heavy back heads,
being very wide in proportion.
A report Of these discoveries has
been sent to Washington. 1t is be-
lieved that this is burial ground for
prehistoric race.

MANAWA HAS A BIG CROWD

One OF the largest crowds that has at
tended Lake Manawa this season visited
the beautiful resort Sunday. Manhattan
beach did it's accustomed business, every
available bath room in the Kursaal being
occupied and 1t was often dificult to get
an opportunity to get to the toboggan
slide, Neptune wheel and other water toys.
The free shows, as is their wont, attracted
much attention. The balloon ascension by
Prof. Andrew was one OF the highest that
has Seen made at this resort. Another
thriller was the slide for life by Dare
Devil" Fackler. Two programs by Co
valt's concert band were much appreciated
as evidenced by the numerous encores.
G. L. Heffner, the baritone sang "Just
Plain Folks" and mid the Orange Trees
and Blossoms She's Waiting" both OF
which songs were illustrated by colored
slides. The horizontal bar stunt Of the
Eugene trio elected applause. At the
ball park the Neumayers won the game

"The Flaming Arrow" Mt the KruE.
What Lincoln ]. Carter didn't know, and
doesn't know. about border warfare, In
dians, and the like, doesn't matter; he
knows how to please his clientele, and that
is what he Is after. Therefore, THE Flam-
ing Arrow" with all its incongruities and
imperfections, continues to blaze nightly
before packed and enthusiastic houses,
whose delight is manifest in laughter and
cheers, and. whose unquestioned pleasure
at the discontinue OF the Mexican and the
triumph of the noble son of the equally
noble chieftain is unfeigned and real. This
piece opened yesterday at the Krug, and
was played twice before audiences OF the
Krug standard Sunday size. 1t will be con-
tinued until after Wednesday night with a
matinee on Wednesday afternoon. The
company is quite competent, and the
scenery is realistic in the extreme. Some of
the incidental specialties are very good,
especially the singing and dancing of Ed.

GREAT PROSPERITY IN CUBA
sonOr Quessds Says the Most Optimistic
Are Surprised by Existing Conditions,
LARGE INCREASE IN THE REVENUES
All Sections of the Island Have RE-
ceived Great Impetus Com
merciRlIy and In
dustriRlIy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9o-In statement
furnished to the press today regarding "the
prosperity OF Cuba" Senior Quesada, the
minister from that island, declared that Its
prosperity was such that even the most
optimistic are surprised. There was no Sec
tion of the island, the minister said, which
had not received a great impetus CONNER
cially and industrially, and with the con-
tinuance Of the excellent sanitary condi-
tions, the increasing production and invest
ments, 1t Is said, are to be expected in a
few years the wealth of the country will be
doubled.
Continuing the>statement says, In part:
The greatest proof Of the DEVELOPMENT OF
Cuba during the administration OF Presi-
dent Palma can be found in the study Of
the last figures of the official report of tho
CUBAN treasury, showing the results of con-
servative wise and progressive government

three years.

tatlons $6l,3TI664 leaving a trade balance in
favor OF Cuba Of about $4O,0O0OOO.
During the year payments were made to
the amount Of tH5l0,s73 OF which S17, ,2S6 400
was for the regular budget and $23, ,OG6, ,6SS for
paying the army claims.
The total receipts for the year were S6l, =
l6l, ,095 which plus S7,O99, 5s4 the balance
from the previous year, gives grand total
OF NS,9S4, IA Deducting expenditures there
was a balance Of SA. $40. .3O7 in the Cuban
treasury on the first of July last, which.
after making some allowances for outstand-
ing credits, leaves about S22,OOO,000 of sur
plus.
Part of this will be devoted to public
works and part to serve the basis for
mOneN Gnpliad balance
due to the army
The government OF Cuba which so far has
been very careful of contracting financial
obligations, will deal with this matter in
the same conservative and commendable
manner in which IL has heretofore handled
the questions which have arisen and al
ways inspired by the best interests of the
country and mindful of its laws and Inter-
national obligations.

IMPROVEMENT LEAGUES WORK
BODY IL Making Good Citizens as We'll
as n Good City in
Omaha.

Judge w w. Slabaugh spoke on the
subject, "Beautifying Omaha" at the sixth
of the series of Sunday evening lay sermons
at the Hanscom Park Methodist church.
and he was listened to with interest by
large congregation.
Judge Slabaugh is perhaps the most in
terested man in the city on the subject Of
beautifying Omaha, owing to his connec-
ton with the Omaha Improvement league,
and it was for this reason that his talk
was of more than ordinary interest He
brought to light the fact that it was not
only the beautifying of the streets and
lawns of the city that the league is inter-
ested in, but the beautifying Of the morals
Of the people as well. He spoke at length
of the work done by the Improvement
league in bettering the conditions of vari-
GUS parts of the city, and told of the work
that will be accomplished in the future in
bettering the town in other ways.
He said that men as rule are too keen
in their effort to secure the almighty dollar
to take an active interest in the upbuildng
of Omaha, and that it is the duty of every
citizen to better the conditions whether
in a moral or in any other way.
God made the country and man made
the city; God builds up, but too frequently
man tears down." said Mr. Slabaugh ITO
improve Is to make better and more beau
tiful and the ideal that the Improvement
clubs have set for themselves is to up
build and to make the city a beautiful
place to live in; beautiful not only in ap-
pearances but in morals as we'll"
Mr. Slahaugh then dwelt upon the beau
tifying Of the character as one means of
hetteTing the conditions OF city, and
cited a number Of instances which proved
his assertions. He said that 1t was the
duty OF all classes OF men, women and
children to get together and do their share
in the work which the various improve
ment clubs have started, and said that he
thought that in the near future this would
be accomplished.
