FLOWERS BY CUBIC FOOT.
Fossil Posies Found in Immense
Masses of Iowa Rock.

Erln Scrlbnsr
Al Burlington, Iowa immense masses
Of rocks have been found which are
wholly composed Of fossil flowers. One
may dig them out by the cubic foot. II
should be explained, however. that they
are not real flowers. but ancient animals
which. li6e the modern sea lilies" had
vhea they were alive, the appearance of
many colOred blossoms. making beautiful
the sea floor with their variegated par
lsrres
Il was ever SC long ago that these AMI
mai flowers bloomed. Of course-awav
back in the epoch called paieozoic- {. .zinr
upon them one is overcome by a certain
sense Il awe. considering their enormous
antiquity. They were dead and fossil
lied long before the first mammals an
peared en- the earth-a period which geol-
ogists pat dowa at about 100000 years
ago. In advance Of the mammals came
the great reptiles OF the mesoz1ic-an
epoch that is supposed to have lasted
somewhat over 100000 Il years But the
sea flowers preserved in the rocks Of Bur
Hngton lived and died long before the
very earliest reptiles.
Before the mes 5zoic came the paleozoic
or age Of ancient life, to which the sea
flowers IN Questt-n belonged It must have
been queer w1Tld in lhcse days-m1stIv
water, with comparatively little drv land
no mammals or reptiles in existe 1ce, ncr
birds. nor even insects. But there were
plenty Of queer cruS .aceans. such as the
trilobites. which were the forerunaers Of
modern holsters ard crabs. q ID muI.I-
tu6e OF other marine creatures. including
a number Of species OF oysters, long ag5
extiact, which were doubtless excellent. If
enc had been on hard to eat them \
large part of the State Of Texas was
covered by a great oyster bed. which is
drawn upo7 to-day for lime.
Prof. Walcott estimates that the pal
eozoic covered about I7,5000O0 years. Thus

I'VE N''fF''S
Ollie Pender and Lum West, the
two young men who are charged with
assault and battery on Mrs. Harriet
Roburn, have been returned by the
grand jury at Srartanburg, who found
true bills against them on the charge
ON which they were committed by
the magistrate.
Mrs. Hoburn was severely whipped
one night several months ago, being
called out Of her house on Linder
Carriers farm, near the Union-Spar-
tanhurg line. The whipping was the
topic of much talk anu comment at
that time, and when the officers and
Solicitor Sease took up the inyestiga-
ticn every move was followed within
terest. The arrest of the two alleged
wnippers resulted about month ago
and the trial will renew the public
interest in the case.
Mrs. Hoburn disappeared soon af-
ter the affair became known and
though she was traced to several
towns the officers have been unable
to find her for the trial, in which
case she will be the principal witness.
It now seems that the case will pro-
ceed without her.

acuaintances who wer eawaiting his
arrival. He and Mrs. Roosevelt en-.
tered their carriage and were driven
to the white house.
The president and his party occu-
pied a special car, which had been
attached to the regular Pennsylvania

ALL LICENSES REVOKED
Atlanta Saloons Are Put Out Of Busl.
ness Temporarily and Strict Pro-
hibitior is in Effect.

BY a unanimous vote the city coun.
ell Of Atlanta Wednesday, revoked
the license Of every saloon in Atlanta
until the first CT October, and until
that time the city is practically under
prohibition.
This action was taken on report
from the police committee, which had
been requested to investigate the sa-
looms and ascertain what places could
be classed as dives and unfit to e2.
gage in the liquor trade. The commit
lee, after striking out fifty-seven sa-
looms, decided that sucn arbitrary
action might be unjust to many sa-
loon men, and when conference was
Eeld with the citizens committee OF
ten, it. was decided to recommend TO
council the revokilg Of all saloon H.
censes for tie purpose Of wedding out
the dives.
A fight was made by representatives
If the whiskey dealers, while citi-
zens spoke in the interest Of the re-
rort of the police committee. The de-
bate became at times very animated,
and on several occasions the audience
indulged in applause, which was kept
ur until the mayor pro TEN called
rpcn the city ,1arshal to put a stop
to it.
Citizens and members Of council put
.be saloon men or notice that they
had better submit t. the action pro-
bosed, or they would precinitate pro-
hiibtion election within thirty days.
On October Q there will he an open
meeting OF the police committee. when
MI persons desiring saloon licenses
will have to appear and sho" that
they will run decent saloons.
All applicants must publish three
times in a laily pa1er their inten-
tion to make such anplications. All t'e
rev licenses granted will expire next
June.
Mayor Woodward made talk
,eainst the renert o1 the police co2l-
ndttee. saving that he did not believe
in s,,cn a drastic measure.
In the neartime all saloons VIII

r;oting first began in the city.
