Skeleton Found.

While excavating a basement for a
new residence on the Whelan nursery
farm, the workmen came across the
skeleton of a human being The eX-
cavation was being made through a
gravel bed and the bones and skull
were found in a condition which de
noted that the body was buried in a
sitting position with the face turned
to the east. 1t was probably the
skeleton of an Indian as that was
their usual method of interment, and
the prominent cheek bones are pecu-
liar to the Indian race. Soon after
being exposed to the air the bones
crumbled to dust, but the teeth were
in almost perfect condition. What
was left of the bones was given a
burial in another place.

ed the event most pleasant. The di-
versions were social converse, games
and instrumental music A most
dainty luncheon was served. The eff
forts of Morpheus with his dripping
branches of Lethean dew to dissolve
the merry band proved futile until

respective home with pleasant mem
cries.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
State Good Roads Association to
Hold Its Annual Convention in
Milwaukee, Tuesday, Sept. 8.

Hold Its Annual Convention in
Milwaukee. Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Preparations are being made for
one of the biggest Good Roads Con
ventions ever held in the country.
The first State Convention, held last
year, had nearly two thousand mem
bers present, and permanent organ
ization was formed with Elk Governor
Hoard as President
This State Convention was consid-
erably larger than any of the National
Good Road gatherings that have been
held tor many years, and from Tire
interest already manife=ted il seems
probable that there will be more dele
gates present this year than last.
Every town chairman in the state
has been asked to suggest TIE name of
prominent farmers in his locality who
will be appointed as delegates.
The State Good Roads Association
is very much interested in the amend
met to the State constitution which
must be passed by the people in our
November elections before our state
can give state money to aid the farm
esr to pay for building good roads.
This amendent will doubtless be very
thoroughly discussed.
The committee aims to make the
cow ention better than the one held
last year. 1t planned, in So far as
time will permit, to give each dele
gate who desires it an Opportunity tn
discuss any of the questions under dis
cussion. The meeting will nut be held
ON the State Fair grounds as last
year, but in some large hall down
town. The place will be announced
later.
