many 1t was a disappointment. While

diplomat in China, he! Is, however.
not o public speaker. Instead of tell
ing in an Informal talk "a lot OF inter-
estng things about China as was ex-
pected Of him by many who attended
the banquet, he read an address,
which, While 1t gave as much attention
to Chinese affairs as to anything
else gave very little new information
on China. He expressed pleasure at
being back to his native state and of
being member of the same state and
party that had produced So many dis
tinguished men In public life. He paid
n tribute to Hull and the governor and
then continued his tributes along the
line through Dolliver, Shaw. Secretary
Wilson. Allison and Roosevelt. There
was some applause for the tributes to
Hull and the governor and then the
applause stopped more from lack OF
enthusiasm stirred by the address than
anything else.
Politicians are gradually familiar
izlng themselves with the fact that
Major Conger is not after any political
office. 1t Is learned through one of his
close friends that he really proposes
to rest In Des Moines for a time and
has little idea now of what line of
work he will take up. Whether he
goes Into business Or some other line
OF work the public knows as much as
Major Conger He Is In fact waiting
for something to turn up. Were he a
better speaker 1t Is conceded that his
knowledge of Chinese affairs and publ
city in which he was brought by the
Boxer movement and subsequent CHI
nese affairs would make him a plost
attractive feature on any lecture
course platform.

+ About week ago, in the excavation

the plow ripped up some boards under
several feet of ground. When these
were pulled out, a hole was disclosed
about four feet wide.
It could be seen that d short dis
tance down this widened into large
chamber. Ladders were procured and
the chamber when cautiously entered,
proved to be bricked-up underground
room, curving to a point at either end,
about rs feet long by Is feet wide in
the center, and Is feet high. Tho
arched roof was supported by several
pilasters. On the wall an old candle
stick and candle, on the floor rubbish
of various kinds, testified to the form
er occupancy Of the dungeon, but there
were no skeletons.
Inquiry as to this underground room
was made Of number of old settlers,
but none car account for It.. One old
soldier of the Camp Mcclellan days
said he remembered that guard was
stationed at the clump of trees behind
which this was discovered, but what
was back there he never knew.
A robbers den, a powder magazine
Of war times, a guardhouse of those
days, are among the guesses that a
few interested old inhabitants have
made, but no one has read the riddle.
