Charter Oak, April 23.-The servant
girl problem has been settled definitely
in Charter Oak, so far at least as John
Lang, wealthy farmer living about
seven miles south of here, is con-
cerned. Late last February Mr.. Lang's
wife died and shortly after her de-
cease Mr.. Lang employed a young girl
about eighteen years of age, named
Lenora Regain. to work for him and
keep house. Mr. Lang is about seven
ty years of age and it was not long
until the girl struck and refused to
longer work for him. He persuaded
her however, to return and what the
inducements offered were, no one seems
to know, but a few days ago he mar
ried her before Justice Rollins of Den
ison, and shortly afterward a deed
went on record conveying a quarter
section of land worth at least SIS per
acre, to the young wife. The wedding
has caused considerable of a sensation
and several young Romeos are now Sit
ting on the fence and wondering how
it all happened.

Boone. April 23.-Acting Curator E.
r. Harlan of the state historical de-
partment, has made public his report
on the big mound west of Boone
which has just been uncovered. This
report is given publicity in full the
first time. Mr.. Harlan will send this
report to all of the scientific journals
of the country and it is thought that
many noted men will within a short
time visit this city and inspect the
mound. 1t is open to the public and
all will be given a cordial welcome by
those left in charge. The report OF
Curator Harlan is as follows:
This work is completed as was de-
sired by the lamented Mr.. Aldrich
and as planned at his request by Mr.
VanHyning, in charge of the museum
Of the historical department of Iowa.
Archaeology of Iowa was a field MIR
Aldrich highly regarded and for which
he made provision in his plans for the
future work of the institution he
founded.
by the earliest white visitors to Iowa
regions. Their inquiries of Indians
ELECTED the information that mounds
were here from their earliest tradi-
tions. Their origin and purpose are
amongst the mysteries of man, and
their exploration awakens the interest
of scientists the country over. The
quest for facts touching life amongst
the ancient peoples is made by the Un-
tied States government as we'll as by
different states thru their Archeologi-
cal bureaus and societies as also by
individuals. This exploration by the
historical department is its contribu-
ton to the general effort. These eff
forts aim, primarily. at discovering
what was done by these peoples and
secondarily to recover the objects
they left Hence the finds" are of
value expressed in their works and
not solely in their bones, implements
and utensils. With this view, the VAL
'ue of Mr. VanHyning's pursuit of Mr..
Aldrich's plans may be readily esti-
mated by the following schedule OF
finds"
First-The mound is ITO by 100 feet,
IA feet high.
Second-So- called ash heaps aver
aging a foot in diameter scattered
turnout the mound within feet of the
bottom.
Third-Absence Of stone or other i'm
plements, except in some four or five
instances
Fourth-The occurrence thruout the
mound of pottery fragments to the
number of 1000, unusually indicating
vessels of two feet diameter, and
showing an excess of thirty patterns
of ornamentation.
Fifth-The occurrence of a compact
baked-like sheet of dirt, five feet thick,

kokom0 Woman
Gives Fortune
To Help Women Who Suffer.

In the past few years Mrs. Cora 3.
Miller has spent $125,000.0O in giving
medical treatment to afflicted women.
Some time ago we announced in the
columns of this paper that she would
send free treatment to every woman
who suffered from female diseases or
piles.
More than a million women have ac-
copied this generous offer, and as Mrs
Miller is still receiving requests from
thousands of women from all parts of
the world who have not yet used the
remedy, she has decided to continue the
offer for awhile longer, at least.
This is the simple, mild and harmless
preparation that has cured so many
women in the privacy of their homes
after doctors and other remedies failed.
1t is especially prepared for the
speedy and permanent cure of leucor-

ton, displacements or falling of the
womb, profuse, scanty or painful peri

Clinton, April 23.-The arrest of
William Foley, popular young Gin
ton man, on the charge of attempted
extortion by threats, because he was
in the company of Alfred Paul, a
young Frenchman who is believed to
be the guilty party, has occasioned a
great deal of talk thruout the city. If
Foley is innocent of the crime, as many
believe him to be, he is a victim of
peculiar circumstances, having entered
Clinton alley with Paul the other
night, when the latter picked up a de-
coy bundle after Banker A. G. Smith.
of Clinton, had received a letter de-
manding $500 or his life. The fact
that Foley was on the scene, resulted
in his arrest, and he was held to the
grand jury. Paul declares he never saw
Foley before, and many are of the
belief that he tells the truth.
