Searchers Find Second
Ancient City in Nevada

TONOPAH, Nebr.-Another prehis-
toric city was found recently 80 miles
east of Beatty, at the head of Forty
Mile Canyon. The discoveries, Judge
w B. Gray, X E. Bond, of Beatty,
have been investigating their find for
two months, and they say it promises
to rival in archaeological Importance
PUEBLO Grande, Nevada, the ancient
city found recently in the Valley of
Fire.
A considerable quantity of pottery
has been uncovered and it is said to
be unlike anything hitherto found on
the American continent. AS soon as
weather conditions permit, further eX-
cavations will be undertaken by W..
M. Harrington, representing the Heye
Foundation of American Indian Re
search and the Smithsonian Institu-
ton
Mr. Harm gton at present is super
intending excavation at the Pueblo
Grande, Nevada, where almost every
day he is finding evidence that con-
vinces him this city existed some
1000 years ago and was occupied for
a thousand years before it was aban-
doned for some unknown cause. He
has unearthed 10 tombs, containing
vessels decorated in turquoise and
pearl shell cut into small beads. The
length of this city of antiquity has
been established at six miles.
F. w. Hodge, curator of the Heye
Foundation, has recommended an APP
preparation ample to eXcavate the en-
tire city. 1t is estimated the work will
cost around 100000.

THE ENROLLING HAND or DEATH
(By DR.. Frank Crane)


Death is the ennObler. It's touch
raises us to royal heights.
Human nature is instinctively king
ly. There is something about every one
of us that is divine and royal. We see
too much of that which is common
place and banal 1t confuses our judg-
ment and vitiates our relations with
people.
Love is given to us as sort of
divine liquor by which to idealize our
fellows. When we are in love with a
person we see all of his virtues writ
ten large and cannot see his vices.
A mother idealiZes her child, and no
matter what he does nor how low he
may sink her love follows him and her
care enfoldS him.
But the greatest ennobler is death.
A woman whose child was sick and
whose demise was feared said: "TO
think how I scOlded her for little
things! If she gets well from this
sickness | will never complain again
of her littering the floor or dirtying
the windows or sOiling her frOck. What
do all these things amount to COM
pared with the life of my child?"
Our irritation at the actions of those
we love speedily passes away if we
let ourselves think that we are soon
to lose them. There is something in
the finality of death that makes us OV-
erlOOk faults.
1t is commonplace to say that there
is nothing but fattery carved upon
tombstones. There is nothing else to
carve. All d mans sins and weakness
in,
only remember his good qualities.
Samuel Gompers during his life had
many active enemies. He was opposed
all along the line. Many people thought
him wrong. 1t is significant that at
his death all criticism was silent and
all, including friends and enemies,
united in speaking well of him.
This idea is apparent in the pro-
verb, Speak only good of the dead"
We feel it unnecessary to attack one
who is forever beyond our reach.
1t was said of John M. Siddal that
during his life he was known as a
brisk, alert and somewhat abrupt man,
but when he was faced with certain
death he became gentle and curious
note of kindness entered into all his
correspondence. He was feeling the
ennobling influence of Oncoming death.
DR. Holmes says that the human be-
ing is sometimes like pear which
mellows and ripens as its career is
closing We have often noticed that
some old people lose their asperity and
grow kind and gentle as their end APP
proaches.
William Allen White during Mr..
Wilson'S lifetime was a vigorous OPP
ponent of the presidents policies, but
after the presidents death he wrote
very kindly biography of him.
1t will help us all in our dealings
with others if we keep in mind that
they are mortal, that they live with us
but few days and after they are dead
their shortcomings will not matter.
There is no one that has not some
faults and there is no one that has
not some good qualities. If we look
for the latter we shall find them.

Civil War Generals
Days of Pioneering
In Oregon Recalled

SPOKANE, Wash.-Little known in
cidents in the early army careers of
General Ulysses S. Grant, Phil Sheri-
| dan and George B. Mcclellan are re-
| lated in an account of a year they
spent at old Fort Vancouver, Oregon
j territory, written by Mrs. Della B.
Sheffield, who as the wife of a SER
geant in the Fourth United States In
fantry, the command to which they
were attached, shared their pioneer
ing experiences there in pre-Civil
war days.
A movement has been launched to
restore old Fort Vancouver near what
is now Vancouver, Wash, across the
Columbia river from Portland Ore.
The Fourth United States Infantry one
of the pioneer organizations of the
army, now is stationed at Fort George
Wright, Spokane.
Mrs. Sheffield's memoirs of these
days have been made public by Will
liam S. Lewis, historian of the East
ern Washington Historical Society,
who received them from Mrs. Caro-
line Hathaway Cook, Mrs. Sheffield
daughter.
General, then Captain Grant was
regimental quartermaster and was in
charge of the transportation of the
Fourth Infantry on its long journey
| from Governors Island, New York, to
Fort Vancouver in 1852. The trip was
commenced on July 5, by steamer for
Aspinwall, Panama, and thence across
the Isthmus of Panama by train, boat,
on muleback and afoot. The officers
were accompanied by their families
| and some of the women carried small
babies.
To add to the difficulties of the
journey, the California gold rush was
in full swing, and after the regiment
had boarded a steamer on the Pacific
side of the isthmus, Asiatic cholera
broke out San Francisco was reached
September l, but no shore leave was
granted for fear of assertions to seek
gold At Benicia Calf, an army post
the regiment went into camp to re-
cuperate until September IS and then
again boarded ship for Fort Vancouv-
err, which was reached some days lat
err.
Besides the army barracks there,
the town consisted of the Hudson
Bay Company's trading post and a
dozen log huts of Indian and half
breed employees of the company, which
carried on extensive trapping opera
tions with Fort Vancouver as the
base.
In order to raise the money to bring
his family from the east, Capt. Grant
with a fellow officer leased tract
of land not far from the fort, which he
planted to pOtatOeS and oats However,
Mrs Sheffield's account relates, the
river flooded out the crops.
In the spring of 1853 Captain Grant
asked Mrs. Sheffield to take into her
home as boarders himself, Lieutenant
Phil Sheridan, Captain George B. Nc
Clellan and two others. When she OBJ
jected that she would be unable to
care for so large a household, Captain
Grant replied:
ooh, that can be easily managed

Then prohibition came and caused
lot of us to so live as to be able to

On Sundays as you walk to church
remember there is one good thing
about a bunion-the doctor and your
friends don't urge you to have all
your teeth pulled out. There's always
a bright side.
And after many days it came to
pass that Vice President Dawes didn't
do a thing but jump to his feet and
express himself to the senate. Had
he not, posterity would have suffered
like the dickens.
Young man, make it a point to
graduate from the public school and
be in on the commencement exercises
Then go to college-a college educa-
ton is a fine thing. The athletic train
ing hardens you and in just little
while you can learn to be plasterer
There's money in it.

IN MEMORIAM
In MemOriam-Mrs. VIM. Ziegler
June %. 1926 March 3. 1925


1.-THE one thing in the world that is
constant, the one peak that rises above
the clouds, the one window in which
the light forever burns, the one star
that darkness cannot quench, is
Mothers love-"
Nellie Frances was the eldest child
of VIM. E. and Louisa Frances Rog-
ers, pioneers of Beetown. Under the
shelter of those rugged hills she was
born, was educated in the old schools
of that historic town, and was there
married at the home of her parents,
February 16, 1882, by Rev. S. w. Eat
on, to William NJ. Ziegler, son of one
of Lancaster's early pioneers, and I'M
til his demise, Feb. II, 1919, associate
of one of the city's oldest business
firms.
Three daughters were born to the
happy union: Bessie, Mrs. James Hay
den; Jessie, and Bertha, Mrs Ned Will
lis, all of this city Mrs. Ziegler was
a continuous resident of Lancaster ev-
er since her marriage. She was an eX-
emplary wife and mother in one of the
city's well ordered and beautiful
homes She was essentially a house
mother and a hOme-maker, and one
of her greatest enjOyments was to en-
terrain her friends in her capaciOus
home, which was always open to re-
ceive them. BY her upright life, she
enjoyed the esteem of many, and by
her passing a congenial companion in
the community will be missed.
The strange malady that ended ia
tally, came upon her shortly after her
husbands death. Up to that time she
had always enjoyed excellent health.
During the last seven months, her
cross of suffering was unspeakably
great All that love and tender nurs-
ing could bring to bear was done for
the tortured nerves, yet unavailing.
There came a time when love could
do nothing but wait The mystery of
the cross-how great it is! And we
question why, oh why? But in the
darkness the Redeeming Love is near
est.
There is no pain that does not end God
willing
However horrible that pain may be-
There is tortured soul that God in Mercy,
WIN not, in His good time, set wholly free.
There is no time of hoping and of watching,
That God, in His great kindness, has not
blest,
There is no anguish that we may not ban
If we find strength to murmur, He knows
best J"

of an invisible virulent poison which
causes the disease.
Be that as it may, an advance in
the right direction seems to have
been made to combat this so evasive
and yet so pernicious malady. The
part played by the parasitic germs in
the origin and spread of the disease
has now been established and can
no longer be ignored.
When asked why he had demon
strated only 16 cases, Prof. Blumen-
thai smiled indulgently and replied
that these Investigations represented
considerable labor, each case requir-
ing at least six months for its con-
summation.

sOAPsUDs A DISINFECTANT

Soap and water are splendid d1sin-
fectants. Recent investigations show
that some of the most deadly disease
germs can survive but very short
time in soapsuds. Dish washing is
raised to the dignity of an art as a
disease preventative, says Dr.. Isaac
D. Rawlins, Illinois health director.
Disease germs left upon eating uten-
sis by infected people cannot sur
vive a hot soapy bath followed by a
good scalding. Washing the hands be-
fore dining and before handling food
is a cardinal principle in disease pre-
ventiOn.

After 10 years in the jewelry and

Folsom is this week closing out his
stock Of jewelry at auction and will
retire from that line Of endeavor.
III health for the past two years has
