LARGE sPEARHEAD UNEARTHED
Valuable Relic Of Former Age Found
in Nebraska.

From the Omaha world-Herald
A find of the greatest archaeological inter-
est was made some days ago few feet
back of the bungalow of Myron L. Learned.
on the very top of the high BLUM half
mile north OF the village of Florence, by
graders preparing for the foundation of an
extension OF the present building. Under
about two feet of vegetable mold and half
foot of loose deposit, of which the bluns are
formed f. Wicke. the contractor doing the
grading, plowed up what appears to De a
stone spearhead. The implement, which Is
seven and one-quarter inches long from the
extreme point of its base to its sharpened
end and three inches wide at Its widest
point, is considered to be the most symmet-
rical and the best made ever found in this
state.
Chas F. Crowley professor OF chemistry
at Creighton Medical College. who 10
practical geologist also, declares the lmpie-
ment to be made of flint. but OF kind not
native of this part of the United States.
One side of the stone is coiored lustrous
cobalt blue while the reverse is white. Held
to the light 1t Is Of beautiful translucent
rose orange. The chipping is evidently the
work of a master in the art and the owner
is greatly pleased at such handsome ana
valuable addition to the stone implements
which have been from time to time found
about his summer cottage.
The projectile point was found lying De-
side the teeth and larger bones OF bison,
the inference being that its thrust had caus-
ed the death of the animal.
An Omaha archaeologist who has exan-
ined the implement declares 1t to be an ar
rowhead and he infers that II was proba-
bly, used by one of the race of giants OF
which the legends of the Omaha tribe OF
Indians speak One of the tribal secret So
cieties which has existed far back in the
history of he nation tells of people who
preceded them in this section of the world,
the males of which were ten or twelve feet
high Some ancient mounds opened in this
vicinity have shown skeletons between eight
and ten feet long, and he makes the deduc-
ton that if the projectile be an arrowhead
its size indicates that the shaft into which
It was originally fastened was correspond !
ingly large, and with so large an arrow |
bow with which II must be thrown would
be too large for use by man of ordinary
stature These deductions are conjectural,
but the find must be regarded as valuable

BUT FEW NEW POSITIONS.
District Appropriation Bill Provides
Principally for Transfers.

Since the publication of the schedules OF
the District appropriation bill a few days
ago the Commissioners have been deluged
with applications for positions in the vari-
Gus departments of the municipal govern
ment The opinion seems to have gained
general circulation that the District bill
this year provides for many additional en-
ployes. and this, 1t is thought. has made
the rush for places heavier than at the be-
ginning of other fiscal years.
Both Commissioner mcfarland and En-
gineer Commissioner Biddle stated today
that the largest portions of the appropria-
ton bill. devoted to allowances of salaries
for different positions, were only transfers
from the per diem to the annual rolls. and
that very few new positions were created.
No new appointments have yet been made
and 1t is obvious that the great majority
of the applicants must be disappointed

AGAINST FREE HIDES
SENATOR WARREN DIsBURsEs A
FEW THOUGHTS.

The Senate met today at II o'clock. but
the attendance waa so slim that after
prayer and the reading of the journal SEN
ator Mallory suggested tho absence of a
quorum. There were then only fifteen
senators present. but others came in as
the call proceeded and after some delay the
forty-five necessary to do business were
secured
Senator Warren made a speech on his
resolution calling on the director of the
census for a statement covering the extent
of the live stock industry of the United
States and Of the foreign business in this
country In leather and raw material He
cited the recent agitation concerning this
industry as his reason for seeking the In
formation. incidentally he mentioned that
the census of 1900 had shown the live stock
business to be the leading industry In the
United States and confidently asserted that
the statement called for would show an as
tonishing increase since that date He be-
iieved 1t safe to say that the annual prod
uct is not less than 81. 900 oo0.0oo annually
more than the value of all the gold pro-
dueed by the United States in the entire
history of the country.
Stock Raisers Want Protection.
Speaking OF the demand for free raw
material Mr.. Warren expressed the opin-
ion that the comparatively recent expe-
renee with Tree wool under the Wilson
German law would have the effect of pro-
tecting that industry for some time to
come.
The farmers and live stock men want pro-
lection on their products and Mr. Warren
commended that it would be unfair to de-
rrive them of It,
He said that the duty on wool and hides
is compensating duty for the duty on
their manufactured products
suppose, suggested Senator Lodge by
way of interruption, 1.-The duty on boots
and shoes should be removed: would the
live stock men agree to the removal OF the
duty on hides?"
Mr.. Warren said the live stock people
are not seeking any such change. hence
that the question is not involved.
Mr.. Warren pronounced as unjust and
selfish the demand made by the manufac-
turers for free hides. He spoke of Gov
Guilds message to the Massachusetts, leg
islature and said that while the live stock
men do not envy Massachusetts its pros
perity they do not desire to add to it by
taking the duty off of hides and wool and
closed with an appeal for the continuance
OF the tariff. I'VE are" he said too busy
too well employed, too we'll paid for our
labor, too prosperous to think seriously of
tariff revision in the year of our Lord
1906"
