SPOILS OF ANCIENT EGYPT
The Oldest Piece of Sculpture in the
World Recently Brought
to Light.

Among the spoils Of the last seasons
campaign by Prof. w. M Flinders Petrie
and his assistants of the Egypt explora-
ton fund is a remarkable sculpture,
probably the oldest in the world. 1t was
found at Wady Maghara, Sinai, where
hitherto the difficulties of maintaining
a camp in the desert five days camel
journey from Suez had prevented any
serious excavation.
The sculpture, which would probably
not be accepted by the committee of the
Royal academy if sent in for exhibition,
represents King Semerkhet of the first
dynasty shifting down a Bedawi sheik,
after the manner of kings about 1900
B. c. Above that is figure of the gen.
eral who commanded the expedition.
This is by no means the most remote Of
the discoveries. There is, for instance,
a collection of f1ints used for working
turquoises out of the sandstone, prob
ably by the Bedouin in period about
10000 B. C. They show several types of
which the hammers, the larger scoring
flakes and the small flakes with point
are the most distinct.
Among the most interesting relics are
the Roman objects found at Oxyrnkhos
by Drs. Grenfell and Hunt. They in
clude some specimens of the most beau
tiful colored glass, the arm of the Aphro-
dite grasping Cupid, a limestone female
head of remarkable type and a large col
lection of bone and ivory dice. Wher-
ever the Roman soldier went there are
always found these primitive gaming
instruments and they are precisely the
same as those in use to-day.
A sphinx, bearing inscriptions in an
unknown script, excites curiosity, and
the presence of good hierOglyphic in
scription as we'll as the sphinx shows
that these were not done as ignorant i'm
itations of hieroglyphics, but that it is
a definite system of writing.

SOCIALISTS ARE SPLIT
MIDROADERS AND 'tOPPORTUN-
ISTS'' DIVIDE LOCAL STRENGTH
OF THE PARTY.

Small as the public ownership, or
socialist, party is in this city, it is large
enough for a factional fight. 1t is SO
serious that the national committee is
taking a mail vote on the proposition to
send an envoy to this city to see if the
differences cannot be adjusted amicably.
At the head of one faction is the So
cialist club, or lodge, which meets at As
Fourth street s. Its leaders are Thomas
ernor on the socialist:labor ticket,
Thomas H. Lucas, Martin Hanson, w.
L.. Beeman and others. This club is
the only one in the city having q
charter. In recent referendum the
socialists of the state sustained the po-
sition of this faction by an over
| whelming vote, something like 10 to l.
It stands for the socialist doctrine to
the letter, and is opposed to fusion with
other political parties. For this rea-
son the members are dubbed 'impos-
ship of about 400.
Opposed to them are the so-called
opportunists, who have no objection
to fusion if there is anything to be
gained. It was by such an alliance that
H. E. Boen was elected alderman in
Fergus Falls last spring. This faction
has headquarters at Robbinsdale, the
home of J. E. Nash, who was the party 7
candidate for governor last fall. s. M
Holman, the national committeeman, NJ
N. Rogers and others are identified will
dale organization has about one hun
dred members.
It appears that the trouble is NOR
than local, for the question Of main
tanning independent political action ha
caused friction all over the country.

that his name has never been used in
any Of the "blood and thunder" dime

brisk as any you can read about, but
I like to tell the truth about those old

cared for the show business, and I'd
rather tell in my own simple way about
the things I've seen. -
The poet scout arrived i'm Minneapo-
lis yesterday, and this morning he made
a brief address before the pupils of the
Adams school, speaking of some of the
interesting scenes of his life on the
plains. Tall, active and vigorous, in
spite Of his SO years, with the eye and
complexion of a youth of FL, Captain
Jack is an interesting figure, with his
broad sombrero, beneath which his long
hair is concealed. He lectures at the

WESLEY CHURCH
MAKES APPEAL
BIG CONGREGATION SENDS REso.
LUTON TO THE COUNCIL
Protests Against Passage Of Rand crai-
nance, or Amy Modification of Clark
Ordinance That Will Remove Penalty
for Violating the Liquor Laws
Much Enthusiasm Displayed.

Wesley church added unique fea-
ture to its regular service yesterday
morning. Previous to the sermon DR..
Guild. who has frequently discussed To-
cal conditions before his congregation
recently, spoke concerning the Rand
in the council Sept. 20. He showed
that the only effective penalty for vio-
lation of the laws which regulate the
liquor business is the forfeiture Of the
license fee as the present ordinance
provides. Said DR.. Guild:
:. This is customary penalty in
license states. The proposed Rand ordi-
vides for the return Of the balance left
from the fee for that year. Then when
the saloonist is convicted the second
time, he gets his money back and takes
out another license in the name of his
wife or barkeeper, and continues to
run whatever kind of a dive he chooses.
(" The excellent mayor Of this city
want the Rand proposition. It is time
to show the brewery corporations,
which own the greater number Of these
saloons, that they can't run Mime
Here the audience applauded heart,
every well,' said DR.. Guild, "you
| may uOW nave Gue opportunity "
crystalize the enthusiasm you have
1 heretofore and now once more ex
pressed. Let your councilmen know
that your eyes are on them. Demand
of them that they represent your wishes
and if they do not, meet them in the
primaries and at the polls.'
The big congregation took the sug
gestion with enthusiasm, and the fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted and will be presented to the
council: 80 .. ~- ..
| Whereas, There is now pending be
fore the city council the ''Rand' ordi
nance, which will, if enacted, repeal tn
penalty Of forfeiture of the license fee TO
a second conviction Of violating the ex
else laws Of, the city and state; and
Whereas, If this is passed, and tn
Clark ordinance Is repealed, the enforce
ment of the laws regulating the sale Q
alcoholic liquors becomes almost impos
sible; therefore be it
Resolved, BY Wesley church of the cit
of Minneapolis, with a membership i
every ward, that we hereby petition tn
city council not to repeal the Clark ordi
nance, and not to alter it,
Resolved, That so far as opportunit
offers we shall hold every councilma
: responsible for his vote upon this ques
ton.
Resolved, Tht this petition and thes
resolutions be presented to Councilme
: Holmes and Hertig Of the fifth ware
: with the request that they present tt
same in the council.

HELD AT Fl. SMELLING

The worlds record for collective fire
so Der cent on the Fort Smelling range
today. The firing squad scored SO. z per
cent Of clean hits on row of silhou-

company Of the enemy. The firing was
done at 600, 800 and 1000 yards. The
score is remarkable not only for its

fact that all hits were clean, as the
ground in front Of the targets was
DOGGY and it was impossible to fire Low
and take advantages of the ricochet.

is a charming singer who has won a
place for herself in the world of light

contralto roles in the American lighter
operas, as they were produced in
England.
