Antiquities at Ephesus.

One Of the most valuable pockets Of
antiquarian treasures discovered in
recent years has been unearthed by d.
G.. Hogarth of the British museum,
who is engayed in archaeological ex-
plorations at Ephesus. Some of the
coins among the 1000 objects taken
out at the artemislum are attributed
to dates between 700 and COG years
before Christ, antedating the time OF
Croesus. Some of them are Of still
remoter periods, and are believed to
be older than any other coins known
to be In existence. Among the most
interesting discoveries are rude terra
Gotta figures of the goddess Artemis,
while some of the objects-jewels and
crystals, amber and beads, bone,
ivory, bronzes and articles made of
gold, silver and electrum, were prob
ably devoted by devout worshipers to
the personal use of Artemis.

Mrs. Sims, who lives at 1868 Twenty

beef trust had control of the Chicago

Greff viii now be brought to trial.
Greif says he is the victim of the de-

market, where he lost heavily. In 1902
he was prosperous Plymouth county

He entered the cattle business and be-
came a heavy shipper to the chicago

shipped It to his farm to feed.
He prospered, but when the combine
put one buyer on the market in Chica-
go. he began losing. Greff, believing
better times were coming, appealed to
the German American Savings Bank
for loan In 1904 He secured enough
money to swing his DEALS but found
the business improbable and he was
unable to pay the face of his note. 1t
was estimated that he lost about SIS
for every head of cattle he fattened
and shipped.
In January last year he went into
voluntary bankruptcy. He had lost his
valuable farm and the note at the bank
was still unpaid. The bank charged
that he was insolvent when he made

money by misrepresenting the amount
