Covered With Jewels, Her Body Lay
Buried Near Ancient GAIA
in Palestine.

The chance discovery near ancient
GAIA, in Palestine. of a tomb contain
Ing the embalmed body of woman

is like an Arabian Nights tale.
The discovery was made by man
named Musa-el-Burtu while digging on
his land, and this is translation Of
by Prof. Macalister to the Palestine
exploration fund:
when Musa went to his land and
was working and digging in it he
found little door He entered by it
into cave divided into two chambers,
and entering through the second door
he found coffin of hardwood
And he opened it, and in the coffin
was another of crystal. And he broke
this and inside 1t he found one Of the
old queens ernbalmed. and on her
head crown adorned with precious
pearls and three chains beside on her
breast, and above her head was a
candlestick of gold and another at her
foot"
Another account from Mr.. knese-
vich of GAIA says that the sarcop-
hagus was of pure white marble and
was strongly protected by sort OF
vault of huge stones built over it. The
| lid of sarcophagus was artistically
carved in the exact form of the mum
my, which was in excellent preserya
ton.
The hair was loose and the head
bound with filet the form Of which
suggested that the mummy was Ro
man, but the shoes were Egyptian. NJ
Inscription was on the sarcophagus
but book is said to have been foun'
in it.-New York Sun.

IT'S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Don't Mistake the Cause Of Your
Troubles. A keokuk Citizen Shows
How to Cure Them.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness;
when urinary trouble sets in they
think it will soon correct itself. And
SO it is with all the other symptoms
of kidney disorders. That is just
where the danger lies. You must cure
these troubles or they may lead to
diabetes or Bright's disease. The best
remedy to use is Doan's Kidney pills
It cures all ills which are caused by
weak or diseased kidneys. Keokuk
people testify to permanent cures.
! William Bland, $40 Main Street
! Keokuk, Iowa, says: my back was
/ extremely lame and when / heard

Central Association Masnates Won
derins Whether That City Will
Come Back in Fold or be
Without Ball.
JOURNAL SAYS COME
In Lengthy Editorial it is Pointed Out
That City Should by all
Means Have League Ball
Next Season.

The question which is puzzlins all
Central Association magnates and
fans is whether Quincy will ..ome back
into the fold for another year, or re-
main without league baseball
In column editorial the Journal
takes stand that is TO De COM
mended. The paper points gu that
the sane thing for The city to do is
TO continue as member or the Cen
trail Association for another year. In
part the paper says:
1t is perfectly apparent now to all
as it has been apparent to many from
the start that the directors Of the
Central Association do not propose
to release Quincy. 1t is therefore left
for our baseball people to decide
whether they will or will -.ot have
league baseball this year. If Quincy
decides to stay out it will be IN easy
matter for the directors of the asso-
citation to put Muscatine in cnis year
and let Quincy go without league base
ball. we don't believe that this will
suit the large majority OF the Quincy
fans.
1t should be well understood that
so long as the Central Association
controls this field, Quincy can not
have league baseball outside of the
Central Association. 1t is folly to talk
about getting into the 'inree-Eye
league or any other league until Quin-
cy is released from the Central Asso-
citation. This fact should be thor
oughly understood BY our baseball
people.
There has never been minute
when the directors of the Central
would consider the releasing of Quin-
cy. This was clearly demonstrated III
Galesburg yesterday. 1t will not
particularly hurt the other towns to
leave Quincy out. for the league c1n
70 on with Muscatine-And Quincy car
sit to one side and look on. But this
will not satisfy our fans. So long as
Quincy is in Central Association ter
ritory. it is Central Association bal
or no league ball at all.
The Journal believes that ii voices
the sentiment of a large majority o
the baseball fans in Quincy when i
says, go on in the Central Association
and have league baseball in Quinc,
for another year. As matter Of fact
il is this or nothing in sn- line o
league baseball next year.
