his tomb they have remained safe and
undsturbed until our day. Together with
the mummies previously discovered. they
form a practically complete collection Of
the Pharaobs who ruled between the
dates mentioned.
Each mummy bore an inscription CIV

its original resting place to save it from
robbers. The inscriptions were written
in indelible ink.
Sir CASTOR Maspero and his assistants
were intensely interested to find an in

1225 to 1215 B. c., or over 3,125 years ago.
He belonged to the nineteenth Egyptian
dynasty. which lasted from 1850 to 1905 B.

Here was the great man. looking very
much like he must have looked on his
deathbed at the end Of his wicked and
stormy life. His head was bald, except
for a narrow fringe Of black hair mixed
with gray on the temples. There were
traces of hair on the chin and upper lip.
A deep scar marked his right cheek bone,
which was not surprising, as a large part
of his life had been spent in battle.
He bore a striking resemblance to his
grandfather, Seti /. and a minor one to
his father Rameses ii, two monarchs

The body Of Merneptah had been care

An enterprising J ale undergraduates, de-
sirous of winning that much-coveted un-
dergraduate honor, an editorship on the
Yale News, the daily paper conducted by
students of the famed New Haven seat

news the other day when he happened to
remember the Yale bureau Of appoint

of men. too poor to go through college
without earning money, are helped to
get employment of the most varied kinds.

A few minutes later he had interviewed

they were copied all over the country.

At Columbia and elsewhere.
Helps Graduates, Too.
But Yale claims that its bureau Of ap-
pointments is not only the oldest. but the
most thoroughly organized of all. 1t is
an integral part of the university's or
ganizatton. So great is the interest felt
at Yale in helping along poor students
that President Hadley recently induced

Now he has commodous office in
Phelps Hall. one Of the univers!ty's most

bureau has so extended itself since its
inception that now it not only secures
employment for undergraduates and men
in the Yale graduate school. but also for
those who have actually left New Haven
and are desirous of getting to work in
earnest.
A circular was sent out by the bureau
to all the students in Yale who were
known to be earning money to defray
either wholly or In part the expenses of
their college course, both during term

the cruel ruler who oppressed the Israel
ties, who drew upon Egypt the plague of
the first born as a punishment for his
cruelty. who sought to turn back the
lsraelites into bondage, and whose army
was miraculously overwhelmed in the
Red Sea, as described in the Bible.
The discovery. of his body puts 1t be-
yond dispute that he was not drowned in
the Red Sea with his ill-fated army.
All these Pharaohs except Amenophis,

From papyrus found In the tomb II has
been learned that Egyptian robbers were
responsible for this strange collection of
illustrious rulers. Originally they were
buried with great splendor in tombs of
their own elsewhere. their bodies being
accompanied by masses of jewelry. royal
insignia, necklaces, bra celets. rings arms
and armor. the latter adorned with
enamels and precious stones.
Such enormous wealth of treasure nat
urally attracted the bandits who prowled
about the Theban royal graveyards. In
the earliest times special armed guards
were kept at the tombs day and night.
Later Gordon of military posts was es-
tablished round the valley.
These precautions never protected the
tombs completely. Robbers were flayed
alive and tortured to death in various
ways, but chis did Lot discourage the
others. Whenever the professional BAN
dts failed to plunder the tombs tn, paid
guardians did so.

Very often the robbers went into a
tomb and lived there for days until they
had perfected their arrangements for
taking away their plunder. They un-
rolled the mummy at leisure and removed
from 1t all the rings, bracelets. and jewels.
To complete their work they usually
smashed in the chest, as if they expect
ed to find hidden treasure there.
Many of the oh Pharaohs remained
thus desecrated in their rified tombs un-
til the tenth century before the Chris
tian era. Then the high priests of Anon
decided TO placa them in a retreat so Sc
cret that no one could find them. They
divided them into two groups, one of
which was placed in the vault at Amen

from everybody not understanding the
secret of its location.
II was about 800 B. c. that the high
priests removed the bodies OF the nine

were elementary students and seven
ty-f1ve in the college section. Twenty
three counties of the state were rep

REGULAR SERVICE IS
INSTALLED OVER
Street Cars Ready for the
Game on Sunday and State
Fair

The first street car to make the trip
across the DeNIers avenue bridge
completed the trip about O'Clock
Friday afternoon. This was merely
work car for the purpose of testing
the track and especially the bridge.
But this morning regular half hour
service was installed between Fourth
street, East Grand Forks, and the
fair grounds in Grand Forks.
The work on the track is now prac-
tically completed. The ties and rails
have been laid and poles and wires
put up. The main track extends one
mile from the center of the bridge.
1t runs east on DeMers avenue to
Fifth street, then along Fifth street
to Minnesota avenue, thence along
Minnesota avenue and Washington
street to the Great Northern tracks.
There is also a spur running to the
Pickett ball park.
Regular service will be started on
the entire track within a couple of
days. Cars will be run to the ball

ficulty in going to the ball games was

minute service will be installed on
the main track in East Grand Forks.
Carried 10000 Pounds.
The work train which was sent
across the bridge yesterday was load
ed with 10000 pounds. The bridge
stood the strain perfectly and there
was no sign Of it giving way. The
only difficulty that will be experienced
in crossing the bridge will be on ac-
count of its narrowness, which will
prevent the passage of hay racks or
other wide objects while the car is
crossing.
Orders have been placed for two
new cars. One will arrive in a few
days and the other later. The COM
pletion of this line will be great
help to the people of both cities. 1t
will facilitate shopping very greatly
and will be of value to baseball fans.
1t is especially fortunate that the
track was completed in time for the
state fair.

EXHIBITS POURING INTO FAIR GROUNDS
FROM EVERY DIRECTION DURING DAY
Vast Multitude Of Things That Will Be Seen Next Week
Make Roads Leading to Park Fairly Alive Cattle
Show Displays Already Arriving

Pouring ints the grounds from ev-
cry direction exhibits that will be
seen at the state fair In Grand Forks
next week are today finding their
places. Never before has the scene
Of activity been so pronounced as it
is today and that is due only to the
fact that the exhibits that will be
found at the fair this year are great
er than, ever before.
To gain any conception Of the mag
nitude Of the fair that will take place
In Grand Forks next week, demands
thorough knowledge Of the inner
workings Of so tremendous an or
'ganization. The details that must be
cared for are mountain high, and to
the department superintendent, de-
ipartment clerks and other employees,
fall the task Of caring for these. It
demands day and night work for the
hast few days preceding the opening
Iof the exhibition.
Today saw the arrival Of several of
the large herds of cattle that will be
on display next week, as we'll as a
large number of the horses, swine,
sheep and other exhibits. Machinery
companies began placing their ex-
,hibits in the ground and all day long
there has been a terrific din raised
by the operation of this or that ma
chine, while the roads leading to the
grounds have fairly been alive with
these Displays hill headed towards
the grounds.
The arrival of stock exhibits ovel
the railroads called for special ar.
arrangements from the Great Northern
today and that company placed a spe.
ctal switch engine on the task Of NOV
ing the big carloads Of entries to the
grounds. Then came the unloading
process and the big stock barns be.

Donnelly Enthusiastic
'That sure looks tlne," declared
John Donnelly Of Grafton, superin-
tendent Of the cattle department,
when he looked over the entry list on
his arrival last night. Mr.. Donnelly
is himself :, successful raiser of
cattle as we'll as being one Of the
best grain raisers Of Walsh county.
He will have complete charge Of the
cattle exhibits.
Horse Outlook Good
In the horse department there ia
an equally fine display. and the shet-
land pony entry list is especially
large. Among the exhibitors coming
here with good sized entry lists are
Jerry Smith Of Crookston; Frank
Fitzmaurice Of Pekin; T. D. Tice OF
Pella, Ia; Donald Campbell of Han
naford, N. d.; the Johnston Stock and
Farming company of Marion; T. H

entry list is also very large.
Pickup In Swinery and Sheep
One of the departments that will
come in especially strong this year II
that Of the swine and the sheep. Botf
of these have very large list Of en-
tries and the number that will be dis
played will be far greater than evel
before.
Some Of the exhibits in these de
partments have already arrived on thu
grounds.
Poultry Lists Excel
From the poultry department, too
come assurances today that no for
