PLATTEVILLE

This is good time to call the roll
of the county board on permanent
road improvements between Lancaster
and Platteville. The roads between
the two towns are almost beyond use.
On account of the bad condition of
the roads the bus line to Dubuque has
been discontinued this week. This is
the first time since Mr. Oyitz has been
making trips to Dubuque that he has
not run on schedule The roads must
be in frightful condition.
Will Davis, treasurer of the town of
Platteville reports that he has collec-
ted $34,612 taxes for the town. This
is the full amount assessed, which
does not leave one cent of delinquent
taxes. Mr. Davis hopes to make his
report to county treasurer Hounsell
this week.
Recent word comes from Miss Dan
forth, who is teaching in a mountain
school in Tennessee thtat an epidemic
of typhoid fever in the place is not
under control. There were six recent
deaths. To give an idea of the great
amount of bedding and other material
needed she told that over 800 sheets
were in the laundry every day, and
other articles in like numbers. 1t is
thought that the fever has been
brought in the district by human car
riers as water and sewerage have
been thoroughly examined with no
cause found for the origin of the
eDidemic-NeWS.

Egyptians Exploited
Britain, Says Expert

LONDON-That the ancient Egyp-
tians visited England and that certain
prehistoric remains are the tombs of
Egyptian mobiles is the theory adj
vanced by A. j. Perry, reader in Gull
tural anthropology in London univer-
sity.
These DEDUCTIONS, ne says, are borne
out by znass of evidence which al
though not as yet wholly accepted by
anthropologists, has received support
from number of research experts.
The presence of Egyptians in Eng
land, Mr.. Perry explains, was due to
the fact that they used great quantities
of metal and came in large boats to
exploit the stores of gold, copper and
tin in which Cornwall and Devon
abounded.
