FIND SKELETON IN MOUND
Another Murder Mystery or Eariy
Kansas Days Believed to Have
Been Unearthed.
Another murder mystery of the
arly days of Kansas Is believed to
aave been uncovered when workmen
leveling what wsb supposed to be a
aatural mound on the farm of John
S'oland, near Junction City, uncovered
tomb 30 feet In diameter which
;ontalned portions of three skeletons
believed to be those of white people.
The skulls do not resemble those of
tndluiiB, and In one skull a small hole
inch as could be made by a bullet
was found. The forehead bone of
each Is prominent, like that of the
white race. One man was of un
usual stature, as Is shown by the
bones found In a corner of the room.
There la a tradition among the old
er residents of Junction City that a
family of whites disappeared myste
riously years ago and was thought to
bave been murdered, but this cannot
be verified.
When the first white settler came to
this section the mound was there.
Recently John Nolan decided to level
It and uho the land. The workmen
struck what appeared to be a stone
wall. They dug deeper and around
It and soon uncovered a tomb 30 feet
In diameter with stone walls 10 feet
thick. The top, which had been
arched over at one time, had caved in.
It was 4 feet high.
Entrance was gained to the tomb
by a passageway 3 feet .wide and a
chamber 10 feet long. The tomb had
been constructed of natural surface
rock.
The tomb contained no trinkets,
guns or other articles by which Iden
tification could be made possible. The
authorities who have taken charge of
the find have not yet been able to tell
whether any one of the three skele
tons Is that of a female.
MASTER OF MISSISSIPPI BOAT
Woman Makes Men Rivals Hustle to
Retain Their Trade Husband Has
Subordinate Position.
St. Louis. Mrs. Wyllla Hulett. mas
ter and pilot of the good ship Mary, is
off up the Illinois river after anothar
cargo of apples after unloading at
Alton a thousand barrels for the New
Orleans market Old steamboat men
who are eager to haul the same ap
ples are crowding on extra steam to
prevent Captain Hulett from getting
her share of the business and part of
theirs, for Captain Hulett Is a hustler
and she is out for apples. The only
way to keep her from getting them Is
to beat her to them.
Mrs. Hulett is master and pilot of
the Mary because she can tell one
color from another and her husband
cannot. Incidentally, she is her hus
band's boss, for he, being color blind,
has to be content with the subordinate
position of engineer. Besides her hus
band, Mrs. Hulett Is boss of eight
other men.
Before she became a steamboat mas
ter she was a school teacher In Cal
houn county.
Three years ago the elder Hulett re
tired and leased the Mary to his son.
When Hulett applied for a master's
and pilot's license it was found that
he could not distinguish colors, la
river navigation safety hangs upon the
ability to distinguish the colored sig
nal lights.
Mrs. Hulett took the examination
and passed with a high percentage.
The next time the Mary started on a
cruise Mrs. Hulett was at the wheel
and hers was the voice that command
ed the engineer and crew. Sho has
been running the boat ever since.

Financial Smash-Up of Prospective
Father-in-Law Did Not Cause
Him to Worry.
Col. Alexander S. Itacon, president
of the Men's Kqual Suffrage League
of Brooklyn, said the other day to
a reporter:
"Yes, It's true that you won't find
many American peeresses enrolled
under the suffrage banner. The girl
who lets a foreigner marry her for
money Is, anyways, a rather poor
specimen."
Colonel Uucon frowned.
"There's a New York man," he said,
"whose daughter, during a winter in
Nice, got engaged to a certain Cqunt
Beau de Heaumnnt. The New York
man was rich at that time, but a few
wtoks before the date set for the wed
ding he went to smash.
"'My dear Count Iteau de Beau
mont,' he groaned that night, Tin
very sorry for you. You are to marry
my daughter you were to havo had
135,000 a year but the crash has
come. I'm mined now. How Bofry 1
am, count!'
"But Count Beau de Beaumont gave
the New York man a reassuring slap
on tho back.
'"Oh, don't you worry about me,
i i , . I... .

'With a title like mine, you know, 1

Montrrartre Police Discover Counter
feits of Unusual Quality Are
Spread by Anarchists.
Paris A new terror has been
added to the ninny in Ftore for the
unwary American tourint who patron
izes the estaWiphments of Montmar
tre. The police have Just discovered
that a band of anarchist coiners hns
put In circulation over 30.000 francs'
worth of bad five-franc pieces.
The lender of the syndicate is an
anarchist, Maria Llopis, who was con
demned to death ror her complicity
In the revolt In Barcelona which pre
ceded the execution of Ferrer. The
proceeds are probably for the an
nrchlst cause.
The coins are of unusually subt'e
manufacture, composed of practically
the same alloy as the genuine ones
and such slight defects that only an
pxnort could have detected them:
hence the facility with which they
were put Into circulation.
They were made In Barcelona, two
of tho company going there every
Friday, returning to Paris on Tues
day with a fresh supply, which they
delivered to the other four, who
hnstened to change them by making
small purchases.
These four are now safely under
lock and key. but the two who
brought the goods from Bpnln either
received warning or stopped behind
to participate In the recent outbreak,
they holding anarchistic opinion like
their chief.
Is Very Plainly St en lo De a (iasoline Kngine.
No matter what the work is that you have, whether it be pump-,
ing water, sawing wood, grinding feed, making electric lights, etc., ihe
gasoline engine is very rapidly taking the place of any other power
for I tiis class of work.
W e don't believe II ere v.- ,i person in Ibis community that would
send awry fcr an engine, ii' be didn't think he could save money. You
will certainly have no (.oiibh- in finding a cheap engine if price it
what you are looking for, am! il you will look them over carefully,
take note of Ihe lew pieces that they put on I hem to operale the me
chanism, (iu can very plainly see why they are cheaper. The fact is,
if I hey put more parts '. I heir engine they certainly would have to
gel more money, j in re i no pr.lent on uie device oi simplicity tas
il is so called'i ,' on cheap engines, it is just simply making an engine
just i cheap as possible in order to undersell his competitor. If
.miii ever have a;i opportunity just take a look at, the machine shops,
railroads, large power plants, etc., and see if you can lind any cheap
grades of engines in llieir use. They certainly ought, to be good
judges of engines.
We are agents in this part of the county for Fairbans-Morae
engines ami would only be loo glad lo show you Ihe dill'erence be

and show you where I hey make Ihe dill'erence in price.
This engine can be bail in any horse-power from I H. P. to 500

the captain and said, with a salute:
"It Is twelve o'clock, sir." "Make It
so," responded the captain, and eight
bolls were struck. The army officers;
