MINNEAPOLIS WOMAN
ESCAPES OPERATION

Mrs. Sinclair Finds Wonderful Rem
edy in Time to Avoid Knife.
. Mrs. Sadie E. Sinclair of 418 East
Lake St., Minneapolis, suffered from
stomach arrangements for more than
six years. She became respondent
and hopeless. She feared she would
have to undergo an operation. Her
complexion suffered along with her
general health.
Then she discovered Mayr's Won
derful Remedy and took e course of
treatment. The first dose brought re-
suits. She wrote:
"Only n dose and I slept like a
log. And l felt relieved right away.
If I should need any more medicine
you may be u I Will send for it.
1t is a wonder n can be rid of such
conditions without pain. And my
complexion is clearing; they all speak
of it was so yellow and brown be-
fore"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as much
and whatever you like. No more dis

on the northeasterly side about 20
feet up from the base, and after hav-
ing gone horizontally for a distance
of about 20 feet, to his establishment
he came to a walled room, walled-up
all around with boulders neatly sized
up and laid, that Enthusiastically
showed that the individual who did
the work was a mason of no small
ability.
This room measured ten and one
half feet by fourteen feet and five
and one-half feet in height. On the
south wall was inlaid a polished stone
dissimilar from all others and this
contained characters and hierogly-
phics, doubtless in representation Of
some language that no one in that
locality has been able to understand
nor to decipher. The characters are
neatly carved in this peculiar COL
ored stone, which is about two feet
square. A fashlight of these in
scriptions has been made by Mr..
Stemp, a photographer of Velva, who
is quite interested in such scientific
discoveries, and anyone who by gift
or education in such seemingly in
decipherable hieroglyphics can lend
a key to this solution he will be glad
to communicate with anyone to this
end, mail him a photo which shows in
bold relief the inscriptions as they
appear.
Directly beneath this inscribed
stone an ~improvised stone slab table
was found, about eighteen iches wide,
three in thickness and six and one
half feet in length, supported at
either end by two large boulders, and
and upon this table in a rather pro-
miscuous manner were strewn about
various curios that were incident to
an age of long ago, such as stone ar
row heads, spears, stone knives, a
large battleax, beads, bracelets and
among the most curious is a we'll
linked together endless chain about
three feet in circumference, all CHS
eled out of a solid piece of stone, the
work of which must have taken
months to complete.
A legal question may now arise as
to who is the owner of this valuable
treasurer, the me of the land or
the discoverer, if the matter is not
amicably settled. It is presumed that
the owner of the land owns all that
is within it unless a reservation on
the part of the government is
claimed.
1t is quite probable that the inves-
tigator would be allowed a reasonable
compensation on quantum meriut i'm
piled contract, as the find of the I'M
earthed treasures is priceless, and
would adorn any museum in this or
foreign countries, and would interest
the foremost scientists of the world.

Miss Mary Eltun, about .18 miles

great deal of comment and c%onjec-

The Milwaukee railroad is playing
"Safety First" on the Cannon Ball
river near Mott, where a crew of
men dynamited the river to protect
the railroad bridges from the onrush
of ice.
DR.. Andrews, the government ply
sician at Cannonball, who has been at
the Agency hospital since about
Christmas with frozen feet, resigned
from the Indian service last week and
returned to his home in Virginia.
Friends in Mandan have received
word that Cliff Brodger, who was at
one time in the automobile business
in that city, has been appointed final
inspector Of seaplanes and flying ma
chimes by the British: government.
At the burning of a barn in Steele
recently the county superintendent of
schools displayed some nerve and
pluck. Miss Human did not wait
for the men to get there, but
fastened to the barn without STOP
ping to dress, and in bare feet un-
tied the horses before they had be-
come unmanageable, thus saving
them with little trouble.
Herman Christensen, the Wolford
harness maker, took an involuntary
bath in his oil tank the other day.
Herman was standing on a box while
fixing a pulley above the harness oil
ing tank when his feet skidded and
he went into the tank kersplash. He
received a thorough oiliEg from the
soles Of his shoes to the waistband
Of his trousers.
An exchange tells of an Indian who
went into the Ashland, Okla, Clip
per office to renew his subscription
and when he paid the editor, insisted
on taking a receipt. The editor gave
it to him and then asked why he in
sisted on getting a receipt. The In
dian replied: "Indian die sometime,

Earl Byers of Billings, Mont, a
brakeman, was crushed and killed
while riding the pilot of a locomotive
in the Larimore yards late Saturday
night. Byers failed to give a slow
down signal to the engineer, with the
result that the locomotive crashed
into a string of cars, a collapse of
the couplings sending the freight car
onto the pilot and crushing the
brakeman. While being taken to
Grand Forks in the caboose, Dyer
died. He leaves a wife and one child.
