Indian Relics Unearthed.

ALI. Sloggett exhibited to us
Monday gold band ring and
the foot of china doll that Ed.
Rapp unearthed from five feet
below the top of the ground, near
DR.. II. G. Talbots house, near
Berwyn, recently while grading a
road.
AS there has been no house in
that locality since the land has
been occupied by white people it
is thought the relics must have
been buried by Indians when they
inhabited this country.
The articles had evidently been
taken from some white famil y
while crossing the plains to Cali
fornia or Pixies Peak. 1t is more
than probable that the scalps of
the rightful owners were taken
at the same time.

The cannon act is a thrilling
exhibition. A huge cannon is
taken up with the balloon. This
cannon contains the aernonaut
and his parachute. When at a
great height the man touches an
electric spring which fires the
cannon and shoots the man and
parachute into the air. 1t is
positively the most thrilling, as
well as dangerous, of all balloon
feats and there are only a few
aeronauts who will attempt it.
These balloon ascensions will
positively take place. The con-
tract reads: mo ascension, NO
pay" and the immense crowds
that will surely be in attendance
will surely not be disappointed.

PANIC ON SINKING STEAMER.
Cabin Doors Are Locked While Doom
ed Vessel Is Run to Shallow Water.

Evansville, Ind, April 1.-THE big
side wheel excursion steamer Louis
lana, carrying 400 passengers from
here on her first trip of the season,
struck a snag in the Ohio river at
Newburg Sunday night at o'clock
and was run ashore by the pilot before
she sank in shallow water.
Two hundred of the passengers we're
women, most of whom were in the
dancing cabin at the time the boat
struck. The big steamer tilted to such
an angle that the women became
panic stricken. Men held the cabin
doors and kept them from jumping
overheard.
Captain Morgan realized the grave
danger and had the engine reversed.
The steamer was then backed off the
for the shore, 80 yards away. The
boat was sent into the bank at full
speed and buried herself in a mass of
willows.
The frightened people were kept
from jumping out into the shallow wa
ter by the boat crew until a gang.plank
could be let down. All got off safely.
The eXcursionists returned to the city
by traction line. All complimented
the officers of the boat for their pres
ence of mind. The action of the cap
tain in backing off the snag and head
ing full speed for shore was all that
prevented catastrophe.
The steamer cannot be saved and
will prove total loss. 1t was valued
at $4,000 and was owned by Captain
Morgan. This steamer was in ex-
cursion business at the st. Louis
worlds fair.
