DEEP MYSTERY UNEXPLAINED.
Skeleton of Man Found Buried Near
Button Works at Lansing.

A gruesome find was that at the
Capoli Button factory Wednesday
morning when workmen uncovered
the skeleton of man. EXcavating
near the factory for stone wall
which it was designed to build, the
men came upon the bones. Some
SAY the bones were so situated as
to indicate that body had been
thrown in there in a doubled up po-
sition. The skull was we'll preserv-
ed, except good sized hole on one
side, indicating that the man might
have met death in this manner. The
skeleton was that of a large man,
the jaws being large and square.
The skeleton was found about six
feet below the surface.
In 1868 the grist mill, now used
as button factory, was built. About
two years later heavy fill was
made to allow teams to drive up to
the mill doors.
The greatest mystery surrounds
the finding of the bones. Was a
murder committed there and the
body buried in the spot where
found? No one has any recollection
of an accident happening there by
which the man might have fallen
during the building of the mill and
received fatal injuries. And it is
beyond the remotest possibility that
had an accident happened the body
would have remained there and
have been covered up.
1t looks like a murder mystery
and one which will never be explain
ed.-Lansing Mirror.

'ATAL AUTO ACCIDENT.
MOfimer Kimball and VIM. Mott of
Clear Lake the Victims.

Last night between the hours of
seven and eight o'clock while driv-
ing in an auto an accident occurred
that cost Mortimer Kimball his life
and VIM. Mott may die. But little
can be learned as to the cause of the
accident. 1t occurred near the out
let. Just before the accident Frank
Miles in his auto, drove past them,
and the supposition is that they in
creased their speed in trailing Mr..
Miles and lost control of the wheel.
Mr.. Kimball was driving his Hud-
son. They passed j. K. Hill in his
auto and John Cobb in a buggy, and
a short distance from them the fatal
accident occurred. None of these
saw the car turn over, but from the
position 1t was in, it must have
turned over twice, the car being
badly smashed. Mr.. Cobb picked up
Mr.. Mott, who was not so badly in
jured. Arthur Hines who was driv-
ing in their rear rushed to the res
cue of Mr.. Klmball, both victims be-
ing several feet from the car. They
brought them to the hospital. Mr..
Kimball said to Mr.. Hines, handle
me carefully, as / am pretty well
smashed up" When the hospital
was reached, Kimball was pulseless
but rallied a little, but in few
minutes sank into an unconscious
condition, breathing his last at H.
80 o'clock.
His wife and FIVE children were
hurriedly summoned, but he did
not recognize them. His ribs were
completely broken off the spinal col
umn and the entire side of his body
paralyzed. He resided on farm
close to Clear Lake and was about
80 years of age. leaving wife and
five children, four boys and one girl.
The body was taken from the hos
pital to the home of his brother in
this city.
VIM. Mott lies in a critical condi-
ton, his chest being smashed, but
no bones broken and is suffering
great pain. At this hour the physi-
clans are unable to state what his
chances are.-Clear Lake Mirror.

Weight of Trains.

The extreme weight and speed of
modern railway trains is train
weighing 400 tons moving at velo-
city OF 70 miles an hour. Many
people are amazed at the destruc-
ton effected by railway trains when
they strike an object at rest, such as
a delayed train. A train moving at
the rate of 3 miles an hour passes
over 10 feet per second. A mass
of 400 tons propelled at that rate of
speed contains energy nearly twice
as great as that of a 2,000-pound
shot fired from a 100-ton Armstrong
gun. No wonder that such a train
proves a terribly destructive projec-
tile,-Railway and Locomotive En-

Anamosa merchants entered into
a novel contest on a recent Satur-

Der to town. The result was as

dozens or 1850 eggs were mark

DEAD MAN DISCOVERED.
Body Found Along Rock Island
Right-of-way BY Section Crew.

Rockford, June 16-The dead
body of an unknown man was dis
covered just north of this place on
the Rock Island railway by the sec
ion crew which had just gone out
to work.
The unfortunate man bore no
marks of violence and was not run
over by the cars. 1t is apparent that
he either fell off or was pushed off
of rapidly moving train and that
the fall caused instant death.

Lady Dies Suddenly.

Mrs. II. Loftsgard, lady some
seventy years of age who lived alone
at Gunder was found dead Tuesday
morning. Neighbors who lived near
noticed that there was no smoke
coming from the chimney of the
house and that no one had been
about the house. Thinking that Mrs.
Loftsgaard might be sick couple
of neighbor ladies went to her home
and after forcing an entrance found
the body of the aged lady in bed.
Life was extinct but all indications
pointed to the fact that death had
come only a short time before the
body was discovered.-Elg Echo.

unknown man was killed and two
enginemen injured Slightly when a
time freight, southbound, collided
headon with a local freight on the
Chicago Great Western railroad at
Twelfth avenue, this city late yes

avoided a terrible accident. AS it
was seven cars of merchandise were
demolished and twenty-five hogs in

Laid ee Times her Weight of Eggs

Professor James E. Rice of the
poultry department of the State
College of Agriculture at Cornell
University is justly proud of his
prize hen, Cornell Supreme, which
laid So eggs in three years, the
highest sustained yield he knows.
The $50 weighed S6.l9 pounds, or
1852 times the weight of the hen.
Cornell Surprise, another crack lay
er, produced 562 eggs in three years.
The remarkable thing about this hen
is that she laid more eggs each sue
cessive year, laying 1So the first,
1s6 the next, and 1S6 the third.
This proves, Professor Rice says,
that hen can sustain a high pro-
ductiveness for three years, and he
thinks that race of longer-lived
hens can be raised to the great ad-
vantage of the poultry industry of
the country.-Christian Herald.

A WOMAN LOST HER HAIR AND
GOT IT BACK WITH HERPIC|DE


While there are no thrills in the r
ration of Mrs. P. T. Nichols, e2s
Broad ST.. Beloit, Wis, her story is
nevertheless one Of amazing interest.
Stricken with neuralgia and erysipe-
las and lost all my hair. My doctor rec
commended Newbro's Herpicide. I used
six or eight bottles and. now have q
fine head Of slightly curly light brown
hair. Mo- a gray hair in my head.
This is the more remarkable as I am
middle-aged." .
While the results which follow the
use of Newbro's Herpicide are always
more or less astonishing, they are al
ways natural. Herpicide destroys the
to he hair follicles and keeps the
scalp perfectly healthy. 1t makes pos
