VENUS DE- MEDICI.
Tho Finding and the Restoration OF
the Famous Statue.

the Famous Statue.
You have smiled at the story of the
recently rich lady who objected to a
statue of the Venus Of Milo because
the dealer had sent her broken statue
instead of good new one. Do you
happen to know in what state Of di-
lapidation the other famous Venus was
found when her remains were unearth-
ed in Rome in the sixteenth century
The Venus de- Medici was discovered
along with several important pieces of
antique art when the excavation had
reached the depth Of Hadrian's villa.
1t is claimed by some authorities that
the marble goddess had been an adorn.
ment of the original home Of the Cae-
sars. But it made no stir in the art
world until it had been restored and
taken to Florence by Cosimo de- Medict
The restoration was almost as impor,
tant as the work of the artist who
modelled and chiseled the lovely figure
in the high noon Of art before the
Christian era.
The statue has been credited 10
Cleomenes by some scholars, Will"
others insist that it was done by an
obscure Greek sculptor as late as the
time of Augustus. The work Of resto'
ration was given over to the father of
Bernini. that Neapolitan genius who
was at once architect. painter and
sculptor and who served two such
patrons as Pope Urban VIII. and
Louis XIV. of France The elder Ber.
mini. whose talents reflected so advan'
tageously on the court Of that Medici
who was both Duke Of Florence and
Duke Of Tuscany, Is scarcely known tC
fame. Yet he took the thirteen frag
ments of marble and restored by
means of them the most beautiful Wo'
man in the world-St. Louis Globe

their own bread, the last thing before
putting 'kneading,' as the finished

ALL APPROVE Of
BOARD ACTION

Friday ended the October special
session of the board of county com
missioners. The current business was
all disposed of, and a great portion
of the day was devoted to receiving
the commentator of citizens, many
wishing to voice their approval of
the boards action in the fair ground
matter, the Importance of which is so
apparent to many of the leading ag-
riculturists and business men.
Besides hearing the people who ap-
peared before the board they found
time to appoint number of road
viewers. The clerk was also directed
to notify certain enginemen of the
Flatwillow section to discontinue the
practice of running traction engines
across county bridges without first
laying planks on the bridges. If
they do not refrain from this prac.
tice prosecutions will follow.
| No protests being filed the board
re-issued the liquor licenses of Sis

CHARLES ANDERSON, RANCHER
DIES OF CANCER OF STOMACH

Charles Anderson who formerly re-
sided on ranch near the south Moo
casin mountain, died of cOncer of the
stomach at a local hospital Thursday
morning.
The deceased was a native of Swc,
den and about As years of age and
until selling his ranch last spring, had
resided there. Immediately after sci,
ling his ranch he came to Lewistown
and was told by local physicians that
his case was hopeless and nothing
could be done for him. He was not
satisfied with their diagnosis, how
ever, and went to the Mayo hospital
at Rochester where he was informed
his case was too far advanced for
them to undertake an operation. He
then returned to Lewistown and short.
ly after went to the hospital, death
finally overtaking him yesterday.
Mr.. Anderson is survived by sis.
ter, who resides in Sweden, but so far
as can be ascertained he has no rela.
tives in this country. The funeral
was held Saturday afternoon at 2
O'Clock from the Creel chapel.

PORTION OF CANADA.
TREPP HAS BIG THING IN LEAD NINE

r. G. WINS of the Democrat News
returned Sunday night from vacation
of some weeks. He spent consider
able time at Goldfield, New, and vi
cinity, visiting his associate in the
newspaper business, David Trepp, who
has been located at GOldfield since
last May, looking after some mining
interests he and his associates have
acquired. The gold property, 81 miles
from Goldfield. to which Mr.. Trepp
devoted his energies at first, is a
problematical proposition and will re,
quire a lot of development in any
event, but Mr. WINS thinks very high
ly of Il lead property in the Palmetto
mountains, across from Blair. the near.
est railway point. which looks like a
sure winner. This is not prospect,
but a mine that has been worked off
and on since 1868. The remarkable
advance in the price Of lead makes II
valuable, Mr.. Trepp was figuring.
when Mr.. lvins left upon the best
method Of concentrating, but eventual
ly he is sure to put in the flotation
process, which is being employed with
great success at many Nevada lead
properties.
With prices as they arc at present,
mining men all over the state are
opening up old lead properties or look.
ing for new ones. The mining men
in the Goldfield country who are fa-
miliar with the mine owned by Mr..
Trepp and his associates are unani-
nous in the belief that they have a
big thing.
Conditions all over the coast from
California to Washington, are excel
lent Mr.. WINS went up into Canada
for short trip and found the condi.
tions there improved, due to the fair
harvest and high prices for grain.
The campaign in California is being
waged with great energy by both sides,
but the general impression seems to
be that Wilson will carry the state
easily, as the terrific fight started by
General Harrison Gray Otis in his
Los Angeles Times, on Hiram John.
son, the former progressive leader and
republican candidate for governor, has
had the effect Of splitting the republi,
