ROYCE SELLS PAPER.
PhiIIipsburg Dispatch Will Be Con
soIidated With News.

John Q. Royce, ex-State bank COM
missioner, has sold his newspaper, the
Phillipsburg Dispatch, to Warren White
of Phillipsburg, who is the owner and
editor of the Phillipsburg News. Mr.
White will consolidate the two papers
under the name of the Phillipsburg
News Dispatch, and will have one OF
the finest newspaper properties in the
Kansas weekly field.
Mr.. White not only buys the Dispatch
but also buys the new building which
Mr.. Royce erected for the building re-
Gently. 1t is understood that the deal
involves a consideration of about Sc, 000
The Dispatch was burned out about a
year ago, and Mr.. Royce was Obliged
not only to build a new building but to
buy complete new outfit for his print
shop, from the newspaper press down
to every ounce of type Mr. White will
office over to the Dispatch office and
publish the consolidated paper from
that office.
The sale of the Dispatch marks the
retirement from Sixth district newspa-
per work and Sixth district politics of
one of the men who has been for many
years most prominent in that section
of the state. John @. Royce was chair
man of the Sixth district congressional
committee for about 20 years, and there
was nothing doing in Sixth district poll
tics in which Royce did not have an
important part. Mr.. Royce was
brought to Topeka when Governor Hoch
gave him the job of state bank COM
missioner. While holding the job of
bank commissioner he retained his resi-
dence atPhillipsburg, though his family
has lived with him in Topeka most of
the time. He resigned the Office of
bank commissioner recently to accept
a position as secretary of the Aetna
Building and Loan association. He is
also treasurer of the Bank Savings Ma
tionaI Life Insurance company, a new
life insurance concern which will have
headquarters in Topeka. He is also
president of the Kansas Voting Ma
chine company. which has established
a factory in Topeka, and will begin
business by supplying the city of To-
peka with the first voting machines to
be used in the state.
While Royce was most active in Sixth
district politics. his chief opponent in
the Republican factional fight was J. r.
Rurrow, formerly secretary of state,
" no at that time lived at Smith Center.
1t is rather a remarkable thing that
Mr. Burrow is also a resident of To-
peka now, and president of the Central
National bank. Burrow beat Royce to
Topeka by only about a year.

MILL GIRL TO WED RICH MAN
Once Worker at SO Per Week, She
Gets Fortune Now.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. s.-Living
at one of the exclusive hotels in New
York City and making preparations for
her marriage this summer to a wealthy
young man in that city, whose name
has yet to be disclosed, is Jennie Clau-
sen, young woman formerly employed
in silk mill here at wage of s. a
week.
A mansion in Fifth avenue and $780,
900 in money for her own private ae-
count were the gifts from the young
millionaire to the factory girl to Gu
able her to carry out her plan of eduea-
ton ard experimenting TO find whether
sh could be happy in her new surround
ings as the wife of a millionaire with
an unlimited income.
Now word has come to her friends in
this city that the experiments have
proved successful, and Jennie Clausen
has agreed to an early marriage to her
sutton.
The meeting of the mill girl and
the millionaire was the result of a chain
of accidents. The young man was de-
layed at Allentown on his way to q
polo game by a train wreck, and wh'le
strolling about the town to kill time
made a misstep and fell into the Lehigt
river. Miss Clausen, who was nearby
with some of her chums, helped the
young man out of the river, and he be
came frequent visitor at her home anC
finally proposed marriage.

.CUR|OS FROM
THE CONGO
EVERY. PHASE OF NATIVE LIFE
SHOWN IN NEW COLLECTION
Mementos Are Being Arranged in Per
feet Order in New York Museum
Africans Are Shown to Have Used
Iron in Early History.

NEW YORK, Aug. s.--rhe eollee-
ton from the Congo Free State which
Doctor LOWE is now arranging in the
American Museum of Natural History
will form, when installed in the new
wing of the building, the only one of
its kind in America and one of the
finest of its kind in the world. 1t was
collected by Belgian officials and was
secured by Director II. l.. Bumpus when
in Belgium last summer. Its unique
ness consists in the fact that while
curios have been coming out of Agriea
ever since Stanley went in, this is the
first collection that ever reached this
country illustrating fully and systemat-
ically every phase of native life along
the Congo river.
The most remarkable thing about it is
the ,ironwork; splendid axes, hoes and
hatehets, intricate and elaborate taree'
bladed throwing knives and all manner
of savage weapons and utensils.
An interesting controversy plays
about the use of iron by the native
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-08-09

African tribes. So general, long stand
ing and widespread j. it that scientists
have believed in the past that Africa
had no stone age. Although evidence
has been discovered that such an age
did exist in Africa as elsewhere, the
native African tribes were undoubtedly
using iron when the ancestors of Euro
peans and Americans were using stone.
And it is now held by a considerable
school of Investigators, led by Won
Luschan, the German anthropologist,
that the negro race taught the use of
iron to the rest of the world, Won Lus-
chan Is reason for this theory is that
on every Egyptian monument wherein
iron objects are depicted they are in
variably shown held by negroes. There
is no exception to this. A second fact
is that there are no readily fusible iron
ores in Egypt, while there are many
such deposits in the interior of the con
tinent. 1t is argued thence that in
stead of the Egyptians having taught
the negroes the use of iron, the negroes
taught it to the Egyptians, though it
was impaired to Asia and Greece.
The technique displayed in the wood
carving is surprising to the layman who
never has thought of the native Afri-
cans as doing this sort of thing. There
are great numbers of carved wooden
drinking cups, some of them shaped like
dice boxes except for little bulge in
] 81 all OF
and broad, shallow, faring bowls, like
certain wine glasses. All are richly COW
cred with and beautiful carvings in
geometrical design. This pine work
comes from the Babuka tribes, who are
the best wood earvers
1t comes as a surprise to those famil-
lar with the Indian basketry and pot
terry to find the native African tribes
making both, as fine, substantial and
handsome as any that ever came out
of the American forests. The deeora-
tions are in geometveal designs, remark.
able for precision and perfection, and
the pottery vases often of artistic, even
classic, shape. Good, substantial grass
mating, with coored stripes, is there
in rolls, and handicraft enthusiasts will
rejoice in 1.-THE presence of two native
looms. The Africans do not seem to
utilize dyestuffs as much as the Indians
There are almost none of the bright col
ors which the Indians use so plentifully
The number and variety of musical
instruments seem to indicate that the
well known negro love and talent fol
music dates back to the Dark Continent
A dumbbell rattle, with pebbles in the
two wickerwork balls, differs from any
other primitive rattle ever found. A
wooden tomtom is something like Q
small trough, with one side thicker thar
the other, so that when beaten with &
stick they give out different notes; anC
when many of these are beaten with or
der and precision the result is wild
and primitive sort of music.
The marinba may be called the Afr

that a concert in the African forest

most interesting because Of their near
