VERDICT A SIGNIFICANT ONE;
GROWS AS DAYS PASS BY US

OhOWS As DA1S PASS BY US
The CENSOR last week but partially
told the magnitude of the general cleo
ton held on the third instant. The YER
diet was known to be pronounced but
states have been counted till now Taft
has added to his electoral vote 327,
Missouri following the procession for
the second time in succession. Nothing
but fear of Niger domination" has
kept the solid south in almost phalanx.
In many of the southern states the vote
for Taft is formidable. Elsewhere
throughout the country the republican
strength has been enlarged as the Of
fetal canvass progresses. AS was well
said by prominent Methodist divine
in Milwaukee in his stkSunday morn
ing discourse:
''W. H. Taft has won a notable vic
tory. His splendid personality counted
immeasurably. His hard common 81 use
grasp of things, with his utter practical
spirit and record Of noble achievement
drew multitudes to his standard. Not
in many years has any party victory
been so significant He well deserves
the plaudits of his fellow men, nor will
the nation'look to him in vain to lead
them in integrity and righteousness. I"

The right kind of assurance! There
has been so much of detraction and I'M
certainty in the air for months that a
plain statement from the President
elect clears the atmosphere for indus
trial people. In brief statement Mr..
Taft declares.
Every business manIwho is obeying
the law may go ahead with all the
energy in his possession, every enter
prise which is within the statutes may
proceed without fear Of interference
from the administration, when acting
legally, but all interests within the
jurisdiction of the federal government
may expect rigid enforcement of the
laws agains dishonest methods, was
the keynote of what Judge Taft said.

Princeton, N. j., May 2O.-That Ber-

death, and a possible motive in jeal-

Local Surgeon Believes Head That of
Indian Woman Who Was Killed
by Gunshot Wound and by Crush
ing of Skull With Some Heavy
Club or Tomahawk.

The diggers on the trench for the
new water main on Grand avenue late
yesterday afternoon uncovered a hui
man skull in the road. not far from
the Richardson home, this side of the
spring, and the skull is now in the
possession of DR.. II. l.. Stevens, hay
ing been given him by Marshal Sig
man, who took possession of it at
the invitation of the men making the
discovery. Some of the other bones
of the skeleton were also unearthed.
May Be Indian Woman.
The skull, according to DR.. Stevens,
is that of a woman about 35 years of
age, presumably an Indian, judged
from the appearance of the high
cheek bones and the formation of the
bones of the nose. Three of the
teeth are yet in the upper jaw, the
cavities of the others showing that
they were filed with teeth at the
time of death. The teeth remaining
are in excellent condition, showing the
absence of disease, but that they had
been worn by chewing. None of the
teeth were missing at the time of
death, and are perhaps lying some
where near where the skull was
found, buried in the dirt.
Met Violent Death.
DIR. Stevens believes the skull is of
a person killed, as there is indication
that a bullet entered the left side of
the head. near the base of the brain,
and back of the ear, passing out
through the front, above the right
eye. The edge of the bone would in
dictate both the entrance and exit Of
the bullet. On the left temple there
is sign of a heavy blow, as though a
tomahawk or club had been used to
crush the skull.
Stained With Soil.
1t is the theory of those who have
the skull that the woman was
killed and buried in the spot where
found. There is no way of determin-
ing the time, the bone being covered
with red clay and stained a bright
red from this cause. 1t is not certain
that it was an Indian woman, but
this is the belief. The skull was
found two or three feet below the sur
face, the body having evidently been
buried in a shallow grave.
