supply house has closed its doors and
not another mum will be shipped
from our shores, unless there are other unknown
establishments carrying this fake business
II is history that we like to be fooled, but it
grieves us to know that we have been taken IN
for over quarter of century by one OF our
own countrymen.
For twenty-seven years the manager and own
er Of the only known mummy factory on this
or the other side of the water, has been turn
ing out fake antiquities at the rate of several
hundred dollars worth day. From fifteen to
eighteen genuine Egyptian mummies" have been
manufactured in this factory weekly and sold to
collectors or shipped direct to Egypt or to other
foreign museums.
When this enterprsing dealer in antiquities who
for obvious reasons desires to withhold his
name opened his shop in Los Angeles, CAL,
where he sold Indian war relics, foreign curios
and genuine antiquities in the front room, which
he manufactured in secret in the rear, ne made
a solemn vow that as he had amassed
enough money to allow him to live comfortably
in honesty, he would close his fake shop and
expose the business
True to this made twenty seven years age
on the 18th of last july he now tells how his
fellow countrymen travelled hundreds OF miles
and spent thousands of dollars to view awe in

manufactured within a stones throw of Their
own homes.
THE FIRST FAKE"
This manufacturer came to America when but
lad of 10 and he had hard struggle for exist
ence While wandering around New York city
in search of job he strayed into an art mu
scum, Just as one of the attendants was busting
one of the mummy cases. The two got into
an animated conversation regarding the genuine
ness Of the carefully guarded mummy and the
skeptca visitor declared that he could make
"stf" which would fool even those who were
up in "mummyology." Hot words ensued and
the attendant stalked away to other duties ir

point finger of doubt at his precious charge.

world authority on the subjects of books
and parchments is M. Voynich, who describes
himself as a book-hunter rather than book
collector. Asked if his business was not rather
prosy and if any romance whatever was ever en-
countered in his labor of digging out volumes
from musty corners and closets, he said with
great emphasis and enthusiasm; ''Romance It
is full of it, and excitement too, as much as the
most ardent hunter can desire Not single ex-

Visitors were encouraged to make themselves
at home in that front room. They were per

dusty antiquities and to remain undisturbed as

The packages in reality materials for the

equipped containing small book shelf upon
which stood well thumbed volumes relating to
all kinds of antiquities. On the walls were
pinned photographs and prints of mummes,
pottery and Indian relics and in the centre of
the room there stood long deal table, with
tool box containing tunnels, sieves, fine saws

or two.
Boxes containing various kinds of woods clay
sand and yellowish powder stood about. Bun

gauze, layers of tissue paper and some cotton
material, the of which the maker still
keeps secret, were neatly placed upon another
table, and close at hand were bits of cows

rHE REPUBLIoAN DcoTRINE.

An effort is being made by Democratic orators and
newspapers to make it appear that the Republican party
fayos mixed schools all and social intercourse
between the whites and negroes This Of course is alb
solutey false.
The Republican party established separate schools IN
oklahoma and both whites and negroes are in favor of
continuing the policy thus naugurated as 1t has been
found much the best for both races The Republican
party recognizes and would observe the social difference
between the two races
The Republican party does however insist most
emphatcaly that there be distinctions between the
races In their civil and political rights The honest ne
gro has just the same right cast honest ballot as
has the honest white the honest Indian, and the
Republican party as long it Is in power will protect
him in that right There will be no grandfathers
