Bill Williams is the name of the
funny man in the University Of
Michigan Glee and Mandolin clubs,
which are scheduled to appear ut
Stones new auditorium in the city
on April IA. Possessing a face which
is said to be an continual fun-pro-
Queer, Williams is also highly talented
and has frequently kept a college
audience in a virtual siege Of laugh
ter during the entire time allotted to
his stunts.
On the occasion of the annual con-
cert given by the Michigan musical
clubs in connection with the recent
junior hop at Ann Arbor Williams
presented a burlesque monologue
which resulted in his being called
back for fifteen encores. One Of his
most popular stunts is a travesty in
which he portrays a blind man being
led by a dog. In this act he plays
popular airs with the guitar and
mouth organ at the same time, and
some Of his take-offs are described as
being the rarest kind of comedy. q.
Williams is a third-year engineering
student and his home is in Ann Ar
Dor. He is president of his class and
a member of the Triangles, junior en-
cheering honorary society, and of the
S. A, E. fraternity.

was ageing, and now the immense hat
with it's halo is seen no more in re-

creations for the head were not well
coined when they appeared last
autumn, for people found them insig-

OLD LANDMARK
At WATERFOWL Moved to Make
Room for Business

W%atertown, June 14.-The first res
dence that was built in Watertown is
being made ready to move TO west
Watertown, to make room for the bust
ness block being erected by the Dakota
Securities company for the John Noodle
Dry Goods company.
This is a one-story brick building,
built in 1879 or 80, by S. A. Briggs,
who had come to the city to BALD up
an insurance and loan business. AT
the time of it's erection ID was con
sidered to be the finest home in the
city. Only one structure, used for 8
home, was erected prior to the Briggs
house. This was the building on the
north side of town erected by Mr..
Carpenter, but it would hardly be
counted as the first residence since ii
was used as a hotel.
AT that time all the people who
came to Watertown-nothing more
than a village then-built business
houses and either lived in the upper
story or back apartment. and when
Mr.. Briggs built the first home, it
was an event of great importance.

PREHISTORIC FIND
In Nebraska-Stone Cairn I'm
earthed in a Large
Mound

Howe, Neb June 14.-William
Haw xby and Silas Allgood, NO well
known farmers living five miles east
of this place, discovered what may be
a stone Grain in a large mound. The
mound has been known for many
years and is one of the largest So
called Indian mounds in this part of
the state.
MIR. Hawxby, Hughes and Allgood
made an effort to discover the object
of its builders. It was found that a
large stone shaft had been placed in
an upright position and several tons
of large slab rocks placed in a reclin-
ing position around the marker. The
rocks had been placed in regular order
and the seams had been covered with
larger slabs. their research revealed
the fact that the mound was evidently
the burial place of some prehistoric In.
dian chief and his prominence is attest
ed by the stone Grain placed above
the remains.
A few fragmentary human bones
were encountered at a depth of about
six feet, and the burnt earth and dis
colored stones all bear evidence to the
fact that they had been subjected to
intense heat at the time of interment.
The upright slat, around which the
stones are grouped, bears a number of
irdescribable pictogra phs and one of
the larger slabs has a large turkey
foot pecked into its face.
A few Of the larger slabs of the
cairn are of native limestone that
outcrops a mile to the north, but by
far the larger part of the stone are of
a ~creataceous formation foreign to this
locality.
Some weeks ago Mr.. Hughes dis
covered the remains of a large nomadic
village site nearly two miles to the
north of the large mound, and it may
be this burial is the resting place OF
one of it's chiefs.
s. p. Hughes of this place, who is
we'll acquainted with the archaeological
field in this part of the state, reports
that this is the first stone burial dis.
covered in Nebraska. The engraved
headstone and slabs bearing the picto.
graphs will be preserved in one OF
the museums of the state.

AGAINST DANCING
In State Schools - Res solutions
Adopted by the United
Lutherans

Sioux Falls, June 14.-DanCing in
the schools and colleges supported by
tie state is objected to by the mem.
bers of the Canton district of the
United Lutheran church and the dis,
trict has voiced its objections by pass.
ing formal resolutions of protest at a
recent meeting held at Inwood, la,
and sending them to the state board
of regents.
Permitting dancing in the normal
schools was the feature which was es.
pecially Objectionable. The resolu-
tions of protest are as follows:
TO the Honorable Board Of Regents
of Education of the State Of South Da-
kota:
THE Canton district of the United
Lutheran church. comprising 40 con-
%gregations in South Dakota, has been
informed of the fact that dancing is
not only allowed but even encouraged
in some of the higher institutions of
learning in u state. A considerable
number of the students at these in
situations come from Lutheran homes
where dancing is looked upon with
strong disapproval. If dancing never,
theIess is permitted in these schools
it is evident that these young people
will be tempted tc participate in a
form Of amusement regarded by the
parents, as not only improper bat
even sinful. 1t would seem that the
omission of the dance from the list of
amusements allowed in our state
schools would be an injustice to nc
one. and we cannot see that a request
on our part that dancing be excluded
from the institutions of learning in
our state is in any way unreasonable or
unfair.
Therefore the Canton district of
the United Lutheran church of Ameri-
Ca, in convention assembled, at In.
wood, Iowa, respectfully petition your
honorable body to take the necessary
steps to abolish dancing in the institu.
tions Of learning under your control
