A Prehistoric People.

Some very interesting relics have
been discovered by Professor
Henry Montgomery, OF Toronto
University, in excavations which
he has been making in Manitoba
He has been engaged for weeks
in digging for historical remains,
and has met with marked success
inasmuch as he believes his dis
coveries denote a race OF people
who lived in Manitoba 1900 years
ago.
Judging from the ornaments OF
copper and sea-shell which have
been found, this tribe must have
been in communication With the
mound.dwellers who inhabited the
Mississippi Valley from the Gulf
northward. No traces OF boats
were evident, but Professor Mont
gomery believes that the Miss
issippi River was nsvigated by
these people.
Specimens OF pottery which re-
main OF excellent construction, and
the bone spear-heads, which were
doubtless used for fish, display
remarkable workmanship. A.
Pilot Mound was discovered what
resembles a painters palette made
Of a species OF granite. 1t has a
shallow groove which Ats the LETT
hand, and on the reverse side is a
clever facsimile OF human hand.
Earthen banks a7oo teet in
length were brought to view, and
are supposed to have been used as
a stadium from which TO witness
cremation ceremonies, since EVIL
dences OF such funeral rites were
discovered. Professor Mont
gomery has not yet been able to
connect this newly discovered pre-
historic tribe with any other known
race, though it is probable that
they will be classed among the
mound.builders.

as an innoc superstition,

MORE PAY FOR CLERKS
MR.. BACON WILL TRY TO AMEND
LEGISLATIVE, BILL.

During the consideration of the legls-
lative. executive and judicial appropri-
alton bill late yesterday afternoon Sen
ator Bacon of Georgia made plea for an
increase of salary for government clerks.
Mr. Bacon gave notice that he would
offer an amendment at the proper time to
increase the pay of the clerks 20 per
cent
|, Replying to an inquiry by Senator
Bacon, Senator Cullom. in charge of the
bill. said the pay of the higher officials
of the departments had been raised by
the bill because efficient employees were
being lost to the service.
Senator Bacon inquired 'hy lower
grade clerks should not have their sala-
ries increased.
Mr.. Cullom said that what the commit
tee had done would provide higher grades
to which clerks could hope to be pro-
NOTED.
Directing his remarks to Senator " ar
rem, chairman of the committee on mill
tary and a member of the committee on
appropriations. Mr.. Bacon said there had
been uniform increase In the pay or
officers and enlisted men OF the army.
and asked why that principle should not
be applied to the civil service in view OF
the increased cost of livr
Mr.. Warren replied that by raising
some of the higher grades in the depart
nents there could be many promotions
all along the line of the grades.
Mr. NewlandS expressed the BELIEF that
there should be substantial increase in
the pay for the clerks. He thought an
increase of about % per cent would be
fair. and asked the committee II 1t had
considered any general scheme of per-
centages Mr. Culom said nothing of
that sort had been considered.
Mr.. Bacon will offer his amendment to-
morrow.

Mr.. Vending who is concert master and
