penditure in money and labor by the
roads this year will be at least IS per
cent greater than II was in 1906, which
broke all previous records in exploita

Basing their estimates on the work
Ia this line performed in recent years,
the five big roads figure that they will

covers South Dakota, Nebraska, Mime

UNIQUE AzTALAN.
The Only Brick Walled Town Site
Found In This Country.

In many respects AZtalan, in Wiscon-
sin, is among the most remarkable pre-
historic monuments in the northwest.
1t is the only brick walled town site
found in this country. 1t is on the bot
tom land of the Crayfish river, about
two miles from Lake Mills. The inclos-
ing walls of the town site are about
100 feet on It's TANKS and about 1900
feet long. The river served to COM
plete the Enclosure of seventeen acres
Of land
Within and without the Enclosure
there are round, truncated and oblong
mounds. Just beyond the inclosing
walls the land rises abruptly over
twenty feet to the rolling table lands
OF the surrounding country. From the
bank above a stone could be tossed in
to the town site within tie inclosure,
which would seem to be a good reason
why this Enclosure, which has been
called fort, could not have been in
tended for defense against any hui
man enemy.
Along the brow of the higher land
Is a row of more than thirteen round
pyramidal mounds ranging from three
to twelve feet In height. From. the top
OF these mounds or standing on the
table land an enemy could command
the whole town site. 1t has always
been conceded that Aztalan was not
inclosed for purposes of defense. It
has been supposed that it was walled
for protection from wild animals,
though the Enclosure has never been
high or abrupt enough since its dis
covery to keep out the panther, wild
cat, wolf, bear, moose and buffalo, which
We're the only dangerous animals Of
the woods hereabout.
The purpose Of its Inhabitants In
constructing this Enclosure over half
mile long still remains mystery. The
most remarkable art Of Aztalan is It's
brick walls and walks In this it IS
singular and alone, the only example
Of bricklaying among all the monu-
ments Of the mound builders These
bricks or bricklets are not rectangu-

the modern brick. They are simply
balls of plastic clay welded by the
hand into small bricklets of irregular
form about the average size Of a snow.

glacial yellowish red clay of the vi
entity, and the color Of the bricks is
red or light yellow. Under the glass

MRS. BRADLEY'S TRIAL
NEXT MONDAY

WASHINGTON d. c., Nov. s.
(Special-A trial that will be watch
ed with interest all over the country
will begin next Monday before JUS
tice Stafford, in the criminal court of
the District of Columbia. On that day
Mrs. Annie M. Bradley will be placed
on trial on a charge of murder, in
connection with the death of former
Senator Arthur M. Brown of Utah,
last December.
The shooting of Senator Brown oc-
Cured on the afternoon of December
last at the Raleigh hotel, where
both the Senator and Mrs. Bradley
had registered. The victim died two
days later at the emergency hospital.
When take into custody Mrs. Bradley
declared: "All Utah knows the reas-
on for the shooting"
Strong evidence will be introduced
to show that Mrs Bradley was suffer-
ing from hereditary insanity. 1t is
said that Mrs. Bradley aunt on her
mothers side, a Mrs. Shrewsbury,
was insane when she died. Her hus-
band will testify that she had hon.
cidal insanity very strongly. 1t will
be further stated that another aunt is
mentally affected and that it is nee
essary to keep close watch on her.

PEACE
CENTRAL AMERICA

WASHINGTON D. c., Nov. s.
(SpeciaD to secure a perma-
nent peace in Central America will
be considered by distinguished dele
gates from the five republics inter
ested at the conference to be held in
Washington during the next few
days. The invitation to hold the con-
vention was extended by the govern
ments of the United States and Mex
leo, and it is hoped the result will
be to put a stop to the revolutions
and wars which for many years
have disrupted the Central American
republics, enabling them to settle by
arbitration any disputes which may
arise.
TIL protocol providing for the
meeting was signed by the Washing
ton ministers of the five countries,
including Senior Corea, for Nicarau-
qua; Senior Calvo, for Costa RIGA;
Senior Mejia, for Salvador; Senior Toll
edo, for Guatemala, and Senior Ugar-
tie, representing the provisional gov
eminent of Honduras. Although each
republic will have several representa-
tives, only one vote will be allowed,
this plan being the same as was fol-
lowed at The Hague. 1t is hoped
that the outcome of the deliberations
will be to refer all disputes to arbi-
tration, and, in this case, the United
States and Mexico will probably be
selected as referees.
Although Mexico and the United
States are responsible for bringing
about the conference, neither Of the
greater American republics will in
terfere with the conduct of the con-
ference, and will offer advice only
when asked Acting Secretary Adee
and Senior Godoy, the charge of the
Mexican embassy, who conducted the
preliminary diplomatic maneuvering,
believe that their work is ended with
the bringing of the delegates together
and providing them with means of
agreeing upon a treaty.

FATE OF FOURTH
in BALANCES
Regiment May be Wiped
Out Under The Dick Bill

Will the Fourth Regiment be abol-
ished and the companies comprising
its amalgamated with some other regi-
ment?
That is the question that is stir
ring local military circles at this
time.
In the Fourth Regiment there are
but eight companies, OF which the
Americas Light Infantry is one. I'm
der the Dick Bill there must be twelve
companies to a regiment. This
would seem to. mean that the Fourth
must either have four additional COM
panies or go out of existence and
its present commands be joined to
some other regiment or regiments.
1t is generally conceded that the
Third regiment, which has it's head
quarters in Augusta, will go by
the board, and that it's companies
will be united to the First, at Saw
annah, and the Fifth, at Atlanta.
What will be done with the Fourth
is the question. The Americas mill
tary men hope that it will continue
ulSClllCL ISSuAISuI' buI eHOlO - q
well defined fear that such will not
be the case.
1t is possible that the Fourth may
be divided into two detached batal-
lions of four companies each, with a
major at the head of each battalion
until such time as four other compan-
les are organized in a sufficiently close
territory to permit of regimental or
ganization again.
Whether this will be done, or the
regiment merged into other regiments
will be determined, in all probability
between now and January.
