Benefit Of Proper Exercise.

II one wishes health and long life
ne should not force himself to work
after ne is fatigued by exercise, and
ne should never attempt anything that

that grinding is wearing, it is in

afternoons digging, and If more were
needed, the background of flaming
red and yellow of the frosted leaves
was enough to satisfy the most
critical.
The excavations will be continued
until the whole mound is cleared off
down to the surface, as it has been
decided that this is the only way to
find all there Is to be found. 1t is
remembered that after the work of
digging the trench last week, it was
thought that the mound had been
thoroughly explored. whereas there is
even now a possibility Of making
more finds. The further excavations
under the direction Of the academy
will be watched with interest, not only
by those locally interested, but by
others all over the country. Reports
of the find" have already found eager
readers thru the metropolitan news
papers, and it has been thought pos
sible that there will be other expedi-
tons sent from other museums and
universities. This, however, is nor
probable on account Of the agreement
made by the property owners of the
vicinity, which gives the society the
exclusive right to open the mounds.

Piles Of Arrow Heads, Bears Teeth
and Broken Crockery

Clinton. Oct 26.--The Davenport ex-
petition sent to Albany to make exca-
walton in the so-called Indian
mounds" below that Whiteside county
town, took back three skeletons, a
quantity of beads, arrow heads, pot
terry and implements, and map OF a
very remarkable underground arrange
ment of the mound, which Is, SO far as
known. unique in this country.
This consists in q number of walls,
enclosing a rectangular space, in
which the skeletons and other relics
were found, and having ramitications
which extend still further into the ui-
explored portion Of the mound, and
promise still further revelations.
These walls are not built up from the
surface, but it is evident that the
skeletons were first covered with from
IS to "a inches Of earth, and the large
stones Of soft yellow limestone super
imposed on this to outline the burial
space. These walls vary in height,
being in some places only one stone
high above the earth, and In others
raised above it for a foot and half
1t is now known that the reason the
first trench dug thru the middle

Washington, Oct. 26.-Under rul-

for advertising space in their news

A protest against this ruling has

ferman's communication, he says that
the association unanimously voted to
"enter It's protest against the re-

rates in advertising shall be treated
on any other basis than that Of trans

In a letter to Secretary Hefferman.
in response to the protest, Chairman
Knapp of the commission says in part,
after quoting the section of the law
which prohibits the issuance Of free
transportation or transportation paid

Catarrh Of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

S00t y wv ~ - 49,
Catarrh Of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in-
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied some Zines with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases.
causing pressure| on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness and
Z general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, and II the inter-
Tor of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inflamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before 1t has time
to ferment and irritnte the delicate
mucous surfaces Of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
IS the one necessary thing to do, and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to Dr. Harlanson, the SAT-
est and best treatment is to use after
each meal tablet, composed Of Dias-
tase, Aseptic Pepsin. little Nux,
Golden Seal3and fruit acids. These tab
lets can now be found at all drug stores
under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, and not being patent medi-
cine, can b. used with perfect safety
and assurance that healthy appetite
and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. 81 Workman, Chicago, ILL.,,

resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane Of
the nose becomes itlfiamed and the

excavators with its strange resem-
blance to human figure and was re-
moved with the hope of finding skele-
tons beneath, formed the west wall OF
the chamber. Close to this wall and
parallel with it lay the two skeletons
which were first found. They were
close together, and when buried must
have been side by side. The one
nearest the wall was strikingly tail
and measured feet 10 inches. This
skeleton lay on its back, mouth wide
open and arms at it's sides. From the
beads which were found among the
bones, and which were originally huh2
about the neck, wrists and ankles, II
is supposed by some that this is the
skeleton of a woman. On the breast
of this skeleton lay d small ornament
in the shape OF a double-pointeo
arrow head. and curious arrange
ment of wood and copper. Arouna
the wood, Of which only the fibres re-
main, has been wrapped thin shee'
of copper 1t. is so shaped as to re-
semble three cylindrical tubes the
size Of fingers.
On the other and shorter skeleton
which was lying on Its side, facing to-
ward the first skeleton, were found
mo ornaments Of any kind. This skel-
eton was not so we'll preserved as the
other and when unearthed the peiVlc
bones were found laying at Its feet.
From the absence of ornamentation I
was surmised that this was man.
Seven Piles Of Relics.
Near the head of this latter skele-
ton, and extending in row parallel
to the south wall, were seven piles OF
relics which 1t is supposed belonged to
the second skeleton. The first pile
consisted of three perfect arrow heads
The second was Of broken pottery, on
which design can be traced on the
rim edge. This pot will be recon-
structed If possible at the academy,
and the design compared with that OF
the others taken from mounds and on
exhibition there The third pile lay on
an irregular sheet of mica about SxS
inches. On this lay two small pieces
of some dark metal three arrow heads
less perfect in finish than the first
three, and lastly what is considered one
OF the most important finds OF all.

a handle has ever been found by work.
ers Of the academy in mound.
Next came pile Of sixty-one small
unfinished arrow heads, or perhaps
scrapers. all of exactly the same color
size and shape. Near these lay half
a dozen teeth, probably bears teeth.
Another sheet of mica. about 6x7 in
ches long. thought to be needle, and
a thin implement of white stone. shap-
ed like celt. but blunt and pierced

A Third sksleton.

The line made by the piles Of relics
which extended from the head of the
second skeleton terminated at the feet
of third lying at right angles to the
others. The east wall was built di-
rectly across it. On this one no orna-
ments were found.
The west wall of the enclosure was
about 10 feet long. The south wall
measures liz feet Both the north
and east walls are shorter, leaving the
corner incomplete. From somewhere
in this gap was taken the pile of
stones and the heap Of bones which
were the only results Of the expedition
of last week. This evidently occupied
the same relative position in the en-
closure as the other skeleton found
under the wall.
Beyond this gap the east wall COM
mences again, and extends to dis
lance OF rs feet beyond the southeast
corner. 1t may extend further, but
excavations were carried on only to
this point. East OF this were found
traces of another wall at four separ-
ate points. One Of these is the other
"cairn' discovered Friday. The
mound is being RACED by men with
teams today, and the discovery Of any
further ramifications of these walls,
Curator Paarmann will be notified. A
circumstance Of great interest. the sig
nif1cance Of which has not been agreed
upon, is the presence OF ashes and
vitrified clay all thru the mound.
Remarkable Teeth.
One thing which was noticed and
r. nj nv al ~ b1, ri
was the remarkable state Of preserva-
ton Of the teeth Of these ancient
Americans. This was accounted for
by some as special dispensation Of
Providence. as they had no dentists
and had to have good teeth. This
was in the days before cream choco-
lates and other delicious but danger

of the teeth are worn down almost to

IOWA FARMERS TO
SETTLE NORTHWEST

Webster City, March 12.-During
the past thirty days more than 300
emigrant cars have passed through
this city over the Northwestern line
alone on their way to the north. p.
]. Cunningham at the interlocking
switch has kept a careful record, and
has actually counted this number of
cars loaded with emigrant outfits on
their way northward. The move
ment is indicative of a general north
ward tendency of emigration, and
doubtless explains in part at least the
decrease in the population of the
state Of Iowa. According to Mr.. Cum
ningham's report, the banner day of
the past thirty saw forty-eight of
these cars pass through the city.
On one of the days of the past month
one whole train was given over to
emigrant cars.
Inquiry reveals the fact that the
larger majority Of the people moving
away come from the southern part Of
the state and the western portion in
and about the Onawa branch of the
Northwestern line. A goodly number,
however, have come from in and
about Story county and Eldora. For
the most part all the emigrants have
been OF German nationality. The
Dakotas, Minnesota and Canada are
the fayorite objective points.
