Found Indian Sk idolcm
A tragedy ronturlps old was un
.arthed hprt- Tuemlay when h pan
of men while exoavallnR on the ranal
at the Cornell dam uncovered the
skeleton of nn Indian warrior who no
1bt roamed the plains hundred of
joars before Coluinbua made his de
tt tn America. The bones were
foand ten feet beneath the surface of
the ground and were covered with
reral stratas of dirt, sand, gravel,
morale and rock. Indicating that the
mo had been dead for centuries.
Tta find would have been overlooked
-1d not the chief engineer, George
W. Stelnmeyer, been present to Iden
tify the bones as that of a man.
The Indian's teeth were In perfect
condition, as were also a few of the
larger bones. The supposition Is that
th Indian while being on the bank
of the Pilobrarn was killed by his ad
emary,' r flint arrow head was
Xoand among the chest bones. Be
neath the skull n string of hund
made a tone beads were found which
were thrown into the river by a
Floux Indian, Peter Lone Hear, who
wm working on the dam, with the
remark that "they were not pretty."
The action of Lone Hear bears out
the old Indian superstition as regards
ancestral relics. The material cov
ering the skeleton through the entire
namber of stratas was not disturbed,
which proves him to be one of the
oldest finds ever unearthed in this
country Of the early Indian. Valen

Governor John II. Morehead issued

of thlr. city for their arduous labors
in beautifying the park, they said

Human II y
A "human fly" fared rather badly
Saturday afternoon when he attempt

section of Third and Locust streets,
during the height of the afternoon
rush. His "spell" to the crowd
sounded well, and it was only a few
moments until he had a large audi
ence. He made ibe start in excellent
shape, but when near the top, made a
mist-step, lost his large grip, crashed
into one of the awnings and from
thence fell to the sidewalk. He was
un'nvred, ppv ti fen't"Tt", nv

A Iteouiem
Breathes there a man with soul so
dead,
Who never to himself hath said:
"My trade of late is getting bad,
I'll try another eight-inch ad."
If such there be, go mark bim well
For him no bank account shall swell
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks for trade
By local line or ad displayed,
Cares more for rest than worldly
gain,
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly friends: let no rude
sound
Disturb his solitude profound.
Here let him live In calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes,
ncl when he dies, go plant hint deep.
That naught may hreaqk his dream
less sleep:
Where no rude clamor may dispel
The quiet that he loved so well.
And that the world may know its
loss.
Place on his grave a wreath of moss,
And on the stone above, "Here lies
A man who would not advertise."

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body, and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat Hi
cause by enriching your blood with tn
oil-food in Scott's Kmulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, frrc
from alcohol or any hrmfuldrug. Try it

t'hadnin Normal Notes.
The registration had reached two
hundred thirty-seven on Tuesday
evening of this week. This does not
Include model school pupils nor pi
ano students. The latter added quite
a number to the enrollment last sum
mer. The students In attendance are
remarkably earnest and enthusiastic,
many of them returning to us from
previous summer's attendance. A
number of graduate students are
registered for advance courses. One
promising feature of the registration
of the young teachers is that most
of them who are preparing for exam
inations for state certificates make
opportunities to register In courses
which give f em advanced credit to
ward normal graduation. New sub
jects thus add new life and interest
to their work and will be sure to
benefit the schools in which the stu
dent teachers will work the coming
year. Many good reports of methods
and subject matter acquired are
brought back to Instructors, and we
are assured by the many evidences of
promotion and appreciation that our
students have had from their patrons
that the strenuous work of the facul
ty of the normal is bringing its re
ward. Hy way of making the students ac
quainted and arousing enthusiasm, a
aerle.i of "hikes" has been arranged
by Prof. Phllpott and Mrs. McLane.
One of them took place last week
and another was scheduled for this
week. Others will occur from time
to time. They give students an od-
portunity to enjoy some of the pretty
scenery near Chadron, as well as to
have a good time.
