A LOST ART
RECOVERED
GAINESVILLE Man Makes Stone Axes and
Arrow Heads.

H. L. Skaviem of Jonesville will
chip an Indian arrow head f a stone
axe for you while you wait Already
versed in the lore of botany, geology
and ornitholigy, Mr.. Skavlem turned
his attention a few years since to the
subject of Wisconsin Indian archaeo-
logy. Doubtless his interest in the
new study was quickened by the fact
that on his farm on Lake Koshkonong
is an Indian village site which for fif-
ty years has constituted a fruitful
hunting ground for the characteristic
remains of the departed race. At any
rate he has developed some very in
teresting theories, the proof of which
he IS prepared on occasion to demon
strate to the satisfaction of the most
skeptical. Mr.. Skavlem holds that the
white man Of today, using only stone
age implements, can make the stone
axes, arrow heads, and other char
acteristic utensils of the stone age pc
Rod as we'll as the primitive man him
self could do. Armed only with a
piece of bone he fashions an arrow
head in two or three minutes time, ex-
planning the while the obstacles which
the primitive artisan had to overcome.
In thirty minutes he fashions a stone
ace, again employing only the tools
of the stone age worker. More re-
markable even than the ability to make
these things is the ease and dispatch
with which they are produced.

is shown. A tubulated report of
the inspections made on hotels, res

inspectors were made during the
year to the number Of $3.50 exclu-

thousand inspections of kerosene

TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE

TO VOTE OR NOT TO VOTE
A petition asking that the license
question be not agitated this
spring, and that no petition be
signed for vote on the question was
put in circulation and was signed
by nearly every business man in
the town. AS every one is aware
the continual agitation of this
saloon question is not helpful to
business interests or to social har-
mony, and as the change from wet
to dry has only been in operation
about eight months there can be no
reasonable grounds for another
agitation and vote on the question.
Common sense and spirit Of
fairness woud seem to demand that
the wet and dry issue be passed by
this year at least, and the business
men of the city are nearly unani-
NOUS on this point.
