where stood a great Spanish city of
160,000 people, three hundred years
ago. This city with its palaces and
Its forty-nine great churches went
down in ruins In 1773. when an
earthquake rocked the mountain val
ley. While Cornell and I were taking
pictures among the ruins, Schramm
and Kay went to the top of an ex
tinct volcano. 13,000 feet high, and
slept Tuesday night in the crater.
They nearly froze at night, and in
the morning suffered a great deal
from nausea, but they got a wonder
ful view of a good part of Guatema
la from the top of that old moun
tain. We went over to Antigua in a sort
of carriage drawn by five mules. It
was a long and rocky rond for five
hours uphill, and a quick and rocky
hour down the othr side. On the
way back, the same condition ap
plied. Coming up Mil Schramm held
the lines, while our "cochero" ran
alongside and pelted the lead mules
with pebbles to make them pull.
This side of the range we stum
bled onto the site of an ancient Az
tec city. For many miles square the
ground is covered with broken pot
tery and obsidian Implements. In
places where a ravine had cut thru
the soil these fragments were seen
to extend below the surface two or
three feet.
This was an Important discovery.
This greatest of all Aztec cities has
passed away, and Its very site has
been unnoticed until yesterday.
The obsidian for the Implements
had been brought from where the
chunks are imbedded In lava, about
thirty miles away. This obsidian
supply one of the few in the world
1 noted nine years ago while cross
ing over to this place on mule-back.
There Is indication that our new
ly discovered city was the place
where obsidian knives were manu
factured for all the Indians of Cen
tral America and Mexico. Schramm
la taking home to the university mu
seum the best collection of obsidian
implements known anywhere. It is
a great find worth all money and
seasickness and work the trip has
cost us. FRANK A. HAIIKISON.

"The Merchants' Journal of Tone-

tient endeavor on the part of the
Kansas Retailers' Association with
freight officials of railroads operat

ifying success. It Is in the matter
of box car peddling. In the future,
railroads will not allow box car deal

This kind of peddling has been

The latter has been almost eliminat

"President Shellman of the Hum

that the Santa Fe and the Katy

was held at the state farm at Lin
coln, last Thursday.
Lieutenant Governor Pearson was
one of the speakers, and was elected
vice president of the association, in
recognition of his Interest In, and
good work in behalf of agriculture
in Nebraska. The election came to
him without being solicited and with
out his presence at the time officers
were elected.
The morning session was taken up
with addresses by Prof. R. C. Jen
sen, E. 1 Redfern, Prof. E. G. Wood
ward and Prof. L. W. Chase. Tak
ing for his subject, "The Care of
Cream on the Farm," Professor Jen
sen enumerated some of the causes
of poor butter and told how td rem
edy unsatisfactory conditions. His
talk was given over largely to In
structors as to the care of milk, par
ticularly In regard to cooling. He
said cleanliness Is a prime essential
to success and the matter of keeping
the cream cool is also exceedingly
Important. Extreme care he thought
must be taken at all tln:es.
A motion was passed to commend
Professor FrandBen for his activity
in promoting cream grading in Ne
braska. Mr. Frandsen reported that "Katy
Gerben", the world's record long
distance cow, now has a granddaugh
ter. The calf was born at the state
farm Wednesday night. Her weight
of 118 pounds at birth is said to be
greater than that of any other calf
born at the farm In many years.
The election of officers resulted as
follows: J. S. Clark of Ravenna,
president; Lieutenant Governor
James Pearson of Moorefield, vice
president, and R. W. McGlnnis of
Lincoln, secretary-treasurer was the
result of the annual election of of
ficers of the Nebraska dairymen's as
sociation at the state university farm

Mr. McGlnnis succeeds himself,
Mr. Clark succeeds E. M. Little of

man of the board of directors. The
other members of the board are:

Party of Exploit r from Lincoln
Find Itetnains of Ancient Span
lah City In Guatemala
During the last few years, Frank
A. Harrison, ex-editor of Lincoln,
has made a number of trips of ex
ploration to Central America. On a
trip which he is now making he is
accompanied by a photographer and
representatives of the Nebraska
fttate University. Writing to the
Lincoln Journal the first of this
month, Mr. Harrison tells about the
finding of the ruins of an ancient
Spanish city. So interesting is the
story contained in his communica
tion that it is reprinted below.
By way of explanation, it should
pe stated for the information of read
era that obsidian, which is mention
ed. Is a glass-like substance some
times emitted from volcanos with la
va. When broken it separates into
lake-like pieces, having sharp edg-
s, hence was much used by the ab
. rigines and early Spanish settlers
in the manufacture of knives and
ether instruments for cutting.

Many children at an earlv act

constantly watched, and a gentle

The form and flavor of any medi

who is to take it. The taste and
appearance are especially important
when children are concerned. All
parents know hw hird it is to give
the average child 'medicine," even
though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Miles Lax

culty is overcome. The shape of

absence of other taste, make Dr.
