THE SPHINX.
Nothing by Which W. Can Accurately
Toll Its Aqo.

The great sphinx of Gizeh bears no
Inscription by which we can tell its
tate. In 1916 Cavlglia, who In mod
ern times was the first to clear away
the sand, found between Its paws q
stella of the reign of Thothmes ",
and therefore 1t was believed that the
sphinx was carved by that monarch.
But in 1858 the excavations of Mari
cite uncovered stella bearing the
name of Cheops, on which is Il refer
ence to the sphinx. The inscription Is
evidently <f late period. but is sup
posed to be an exact copy Of an an
Client carving. and the translation seem
ed to place the sphinx earlier than the
pyramids and consequently to prove 1t
the most ancient piece of work In the
world. Still there remained four lines
carved on the base which could not
be read, but NJ. Deressy deciphered
them, and it appears that the inscrip-
ton Is In two parts. In the earlier
lines there is no mention Of the sphinx,
but the lines which, date from the Per-
sian occupation mention the repair OF
the sphinx. There, is, therefore. moth
ing by which We can. tell the date of

we have is the headdfsaS. OF the Colos-

two smaller bands. Now, this Is a
fashion. which only existed toward the
end Of the twelfth dynasty in the
reipns Of Usurtesen III. and Amenem-
het III. .,As this family showed much
Zeal for the god Harmaklin whose por-
trait the sphinx is, 1t is probable that

often go for weeks without food. If
they are sick, no one knows it but
themselves. They are the stoics Of the

alley club. The fee is so cents per
month. The rule prohibit swearing,
smoking and rough talking and allow
no games under the rule that the los
er Is to pay. the alley is for mem
bers only and their friends.
The experiment with the church
bowling alley is being watched with
unusual interest over the state, and
many pastors are discussing the mat
ter from their pulpits. II the alley
is a success, as DR.. Jordan expects
ii to be, it is said that billiard and
pool tables will be added.

FREE RIDES FOR ALL.
Rail Road Fare to Be Refunded To
0skaloosa Shoppers.

If present plans are carried out
successfully, everybody who trades in
Oskaloosa will soon be riding free.
The rebate system Is expected to be
in operation here by the first of next
week.
This is simply plan for paying
the car fare of all nonresident SHOP
pers who spend their money in Oska-
loosa. Rebates are usually paid by a
bank. The bank then collects from
the merchants in the rebate plan their
proportion of the fares paid. The
maximum cost in any case is per
cent. The average cost to each mer-
chant is about 2 per cent on the new
cash trade actually drawn by this
method. me gentleman who is here
to do this work for the Merchants
Association says the reason all of the
sociations in the United States have
been successful Is due to the abso-
lutte fairness of the plan as between
the merchants. The only man who
pays anything is the one who gets the
trade, and he pays in the exact pro
portion Of the cash trade he actually
gets. No trade, no pay, is the rule OF
tho game.
In this state the reOate system is
in operation at Ottumwa, Cedar Rap
ids. Muscatine, Burlington and Keo-
kuk. 1t has perhaps attained its
highest development and greatest
efficiency at indianapolis, Dayton, de.
troit, Buffalo, Omaha and st. Joseph.
1t is said that under normal condi.
tons an average big town gets rom
five to seven per cent of the trade of
small towns within twenty-five miles.
Under the rebate system from thirty
to thirty-five per cent of this trade is
centralized in the larger town.
The matter, it mas been decided,
will be presented to all members of
the Retail Merchants Association in
diyidually, so that each member shall
exercise his individual Judgment as
to the value of the system to him as
a merchant and act accordingly, with,
out reference to his membership in
the Merchants Association.
Secretary Lyman has been in cor.
respondence with Mr.. ]. s.. Creswen,

the rebate systems in the United

ANOTHER HORSE THIEF
0skaloosa Officers Get Second One
o.. Wanted In Ottumwa.

The local police officers with the
assistance of Captain Gray Of The
Milwaukee corps of detectives and
DR.. Wilson of Ottumwa made a sec
ond capture of Ottumwa horse
thieves last evening.
The fellow give his name as Viii
liam Blake and confessed to the
stealing of morse belonging to DR..
]. B. Wilson, about three weeks ago.
The horse was located near New
Sharon and Officers Glass and Cap
tain Gray. Vim. Blake, the thief,
and DR.. Wilson, the owner of the
stolen property went to New Sharon
last evening on passenger No. 5,driv-
ing from town about six miles north
west, where the horse was found and
identified by the owner. The man
who purchased the horse from the
thief identified Blake as the man VINO
sold him the horse, thea only differ
ence being that Blake had shaved HIS
heavy beard. ......
The party returned this morning
and Captain Gray and his prisoner
went on to 0ttumwa
the stolen animal was a thorough.
bred driver and the owner is consider.
ably elated over its recovery.
A gang of fellows, it seems, has
been operating In Ottumwa for some
time past, and many horses have been
stolen from that place and vicinity.
The arrest of Blake. it is thought, will
effectually break up the gang that
has been more tnan troublesome dur
ing several months past. Sheriff
Johnson of Wapello county went to
Montezuma yesterday where he had
located two more animals that mad
been stolen by Blake or his associ-
ates. The officers have now recover.
ed all but two OF the horses that have
been stolen.
A claim is made that Blake is in
sane over trouble with former wife
and that he has been dsmented for
some time. He was to have been
married today to another woman at
Ottumwa.
