THE COUNTY SEAT.


From the Sun Republic
The second annual school board con-
vention, held in the assembly room of
the new high school building in this
city last Saturday, was attended by lS5
members Of school boards and over 200
teachers and patrons. Nearly all the
high school principals of the county
were in attendance. More interest was
shown in this meeting than last year.
as was evidenced by the large number
OF discussions and questions, and by a
much larger attendance.
In common with practically every
city IN the state, Dodgeville is expert
encing milk and butter famine. Local
milk dealers are unable to furnish a
sufficient supply to meet the demand,
and customers are obliged to do with
out it unless kindly heighbor who is
KIND enough to own COW comes to
their rescue. AS substitute to take
the place Of butter, many have resort
ed to the use of oleomargarine, which
is on sale at local groceries. One store
received about so pounds of butter Sat-
urday from one farmer, every pound of
which was sold in half an hour.
The headquarters of the Mckinley
Mining company have been transferred
from Dodgeville to Milwaukee.
City Treasurer Bartle reports that
over $4,000, or one-fifth of 500, 24O, the
total amount of the tax roll, is still
outstanding. The town treasurer has
received much larger proportion of
the amount to be raised, he having to
collect only $1,000 more. The tax
roll of the town was $13, 900.
A meeting of the members of the
Plymouth Congregational church was
held last evening for the purpose of
taking steps toward the reconsideration
of the action recently taken in accept

called in the near future, at which
meeting it is likely that new site will
be chosen.

always worn and a great many black
evening gowns have been seen at re-
cent festivities. This sombre color
Is however usually relieved nv
low or Il Is made with a lace or
chiffon guimpe and sleeves. A fas-
cinating frock OF this style was Of
black Chantilly lace with the body
Iof the waist and the mikado sleeves
cut In one and finished with a square
neck edged with a band OF Jet. A
transparent yoke OF white allover
lace filled in this aperture, while
short puffed sleeves OF the same lace
extended Just a little below the
mlkado sleeves OF the Chantilly.
The skirt was one of the new Ave
gored models with pleated front and
back and circular sides.
New Ornaments for the Neck.
The old-fashioned black velvet
band has been revived for evening
wear and is at the present moment,
the very height of fashion. This Is
worn up on the throat under the
chin thus hiding the least attractive
part OF the neck and revealing the
curves at the base Of the throat.
These bands are seldom more than
of an inch or an inch
wide and are often decorated with
slides and ornaments of diamonds,
pagte or rhinestOnes. often, how
ever, the velvet band Is left perfect
ly plain and fastened at the back
with a handsome brooch. For the
woman who cannot afford costly
Jewels this fashion will prove most
acceptable and she can rest assured
that II Is the very latest mode.

FOSSILS IN EGYPT.
A Natural Wonder Unusual for That
Country.

Some rare fossils have been dis
covered in northern Egypt by an ex-
ploring party under the direction of
Professor II. +. Osborn, vice presi-
dent of the American Museum OF
Natural History, and Walter Granger
and George Olsen, members of the
museum staff.
The fossils were discovered in the
Fayun desert, situated few miles
from the Nile valley. The collection
made was put into q large packing
cases and shipped on a freight steam
er which has already arrived in New
York.
The main object of the expedition
was to seek the ancestor of the ele.
phant. A very important find was
that Of the ancestral elephant known
as the palacomastodon. The skele-
ton is not complete, but the skull.
the lower jaw, leg and foot bones and
several vertebrae were found. A
thorough search was made for the
missing bones, but with no success.
According to Mr.. Grange the animal
dates back more than 10000
years.
Another important fossil found
was that of an arisnoltherium, which
takes its name from Queen Arisnoe,
who relgned 316 b. C. The skull,
which Is very rare, Is the only one
in this country, and there are only
two in the world. The bones of the
body and legs of this animal have
never been found.
Among other fossils in the col
lection are the bones of ungulates
and rodents. II Is the first time thai
the fossil rodent was ever found in
Egypt but many have been found in
other parts of Africa. Several
skulls of the ancient crocodile were
found, their heads being from three
to four feet long Judging from
the size of the skulls, the bodies
must have been from twenty TO
twenty-five feet long.
In some OF the excavations skele-
tons OF the ancient and aberant
whales were fonnd, which existed
ago. They have become
extinct Ivory teeth that be-
onged 20 animals that existed so far

This way OF reasoning appealed to
the economical Dane. Campaigns
we're undertaken in other places
with similar satisfactory results, and
so much had Zuschlag's scheme inn
pressed the public mind with its prac-
ticability that in the following year
first the Farmers Union, then the
Property Owners society, and then
all the borongh councils presented
petitions to the government and
Riksdag asking that Zuschlag's pro-
posals should be embodied in law
without delay. Several bills were
consequently brought in and drop
ped, but last year the home secre-
tary introduced a measure which
was passed unanimously by both
houses of parliament and became
law last March,
This rat law is now in full swing.
Under the act the state undertakes
to spend $1,000 annually for three
years, and compels the county and
borough councils to spend Ss Sd a
year for each 100 inhabitants, on the
society having given the nndertak-
ing that they will spent at least $500
each year. In return for this ex-
penditure the society is intrusted
with the entire working of the act.
