San Francisco, Nov. III The body
of Benjamin Goodman, jewelry
salesman of this city, who has been
missing since Saturday evening, was
found this morning on pile of POM
ace. The spot chosen for. the dlspo-
sition of the body is a deep gutter,
where the corpse was dumped and
covered by many pounds of crushed
grape skins. The action OF the wind
and the heavy traffic at the crossing,
one OF the outlets of the wholesale
district, Is thought to have worked

truding through the Shiny mass act
ed as a signal to Milton Gale, en-

Gale, passing the spot, was about

the hills lies the great cemetery of the founders of Egyptian history, the kings of the first dynasty
 The key that unlocks the mys- teries of Abydos. a metropolis vast in extent. where Egyptians liked tO be burned or to have tombs. from the earliest times down to the Roman emperors, is the one word. Osiris. All the evidence goes tO prove that osiris was a man-god who was m1Ir- dered, whose body was mutilGted and the various members of his body re- assembled. We know from a very interesting text at Denderah that dur ing the full month of KolaCll. num- her of festivals were celebrated at all the chief sanctuaries Of Osiris in Egypt, and that elaborate ceremonies were performed commemoTatinge every event which took place in the life, death and resurrection of the god.
 These observations required the full month. We know that of all the sanctuaries Ahydos was the most sacred. for here, according to tradi- ton. was buried the head of osiris. osiris after his resurrection had de- parted from Ab-d0s tO the under world, SO an ancient and widespread belief compelled all souls to leave the Nile by a fixed road to the west of Abydos To Abydos. then. from the twenty-third dynasty of Roman times came conversations of pilgrims an nually from the borders of Nubia and from the shore of the Mediterranean. to do homage to the great judge of the dead in the under world"

THE PEOPLE KNOW
 WHAT THEY WANT
That Accounts for the Ostrich Feather
 Demand At Balke's Big Curio Store.

The people of this community are not only judges of ostrich feathers but also of prices. That accounts for the heavy run on the ostrich plume stock of the Bake Big Curio Store Only one kind of feathers Is kept there. the genuine Arizona ostrich plume which experts of the govern ment have pronounced the best in the world. The stock of them is larger than any other one store in the territory carries
 Many customers who have called within the last two or three days did so after obeying the suggestion of the store management to go every where else first. Most of the GUS toners said that they had done so but might have saved time by going to the Big Curio Store first Others merely bought without saying any thing.
 But big as the ostrich feather stock of the Big Curio Store is, it has never been regarded by the management as one of the depart ments of the store. IL has not been regarded even as a sideline but rather as an advertising department. The plumes have been sold at low prices for the purpose of attracting the at tention of the customers to the reg ular stock.
 But low as the prices have been they have been cut still lower in the closing out sale which must be con- cluded before Mir Bake leaves on his European trip.

PEER INTO EGYPT'S MYSTERY.
Under the Sand Explorers Seek the
 Secret of Osiris.

To set forth the ancient wisdom of the Egyptians by revealing the secrets of the inner rites of the dead and mysteries of the Egyptian priest hood of thirty or more centuries ago is among the chief objects of the Egyptian exploration fund work at Abydos. where the entire American branch of the fund is now represent ed by. Professor Thomas Whittemorc of Tufts college. says the Boston Post
 Added interest is given to the pro- Gress of the excavation work by the fact that Professor Whittemore. who left Boston in January. has now ar rived on the scene as an assistant and has cabled his first report on the continued clearing out of the great Oseirion. or temples where the mys- teriOus rites of the worship of the judge of the dead were celebrated.
 That this underground temple was reserved for the priests and that the average worshiper were not admitted and perhaps were generally unaware of it's existence, are reflections sug- gested by the present opening up of the strange place near the Temple of Seti. which is SD frequently visited by tourists. Professor WhittemOre's report on the resumption of eXcava- tiOns has been received by Marie N. Buchanan, the funds secretary for the United States, who has an office in Fremont Temple. In speaking of the work, she says:
 By it's situation, Abydos is one of the most remarkable sites of Egpyt. The Temple of Seti lies some six or seven miles west of the Nile The camp of the Egyptian exploration fund lies some two miles west and north of that, where the cliffs of Abydos. about 800 feet high, come forward and form a bay some four miles across. This bay is nowhere more than a couple of miles from the cultivated ground. Along the edges stand the temples and cemeteries of Abydos, while back in the circle of

SERVICE
 OF NATIONAL GUARD
Great Assistance to the Police In
 Preserving Order Yesterday.

Working hand in hand. the city police and local National Guardsmen controlled the great crowd which con- gregated on the city hall square to hear Theodore Roosevelt yesterday, in admirable manner.
 Several days ago Marshal Moore had a conference with Captain NJ. A. Drane of Company A and Captain Earl W. Hill of Company B. A gen eral plan was agreed upon and it was carried out with excellent results.
 Members of the two companies. un- der the command of their officers, were strung around the entire block. detachment was also about the speakers stand merely as a safeguard and to prevent the crowd pushing in and overwhelming the Confederate Veterans and c. A. R. members, who had seats directly in front The boys were in uniform with guns and bayonets but no ammunition.
 No horse vehicles were permitted on Washington street in front of the city hall between First and Second streets. Marshal Moore. however, de- cided to allow automobiles to line up
 
 occupied by machines. This arrange ment worked very we'll and no com pIaints were heard. Had horses been permitted in this block some of them might easily have become friglfened and caused a miNup during the speechmaking.
 'I am very grateful to the National Guard boys for the efficient service they rendered today" said Marshal Moore. The police force is far too small to handle such a crowd as We had here today While it IS unlikely that anything serious would have happened, there would have been end less confusion had not the militiamen been on hand to keep things straight ened out They deserve the thanks of everyone for they were serving voluntarily. without pay. It was very inconvenient for many of them to turn out and in addition, many were stationed so far away from the stand that they could not hear a word

A petition asking that a receiver
be appointed to take charge of the
property of the Peoples Mercantile
Company was filed in the Faulkner
chancery court by Mode & Clayton to-
day. The plaintiffs allege that they
secured judgment against the COM
pany for 5000, an execution on
which was returned "nulla bona"
They state that while the company
abs sold its mercantile stocy, it
has not surrendered it's charter, and
they ask the appointment of receiv-
er for the concern. The Peoples Mcl-

LAUNDRY TO USE

The Conway Steam Laundry, re-
Gently established here, has contract

with both steam and electricity from
the municipal plant, discarding their
steam boiler and engine. Pipes laid
underground in concrete will be used
to convey the steam from the light
plant boilers, distance Of about $50
feet. The steam will only be used for
washing and drying purposes, and The
laundry has ordered a three-horse
power electric motor to drive theii
machinery. After making a careful
estimate, Superintendent f. V. Lev
erett of the light plant recommended
that this service be furnished at $50
per month, and the proposition was ac-
cepted by the laundry. This, Mr.. Lev
erett states, will give a nice profit to
the light plant, and at the same time
be economical to the laundry, as 1t
will enable the laundry to dispense
with at least one laborer, while the
fuel cost to either plant would be
about the same.
