for the body of John Paul Jones has been crowned with success by the discovery of the body and its identification by the highest French medical experts as unquestionably that of the famous American admiral who founded the American navy Ambassador Porter cabled to Wash ington announcing the successful re sults of his long and difficult search The body is in a good state of preser vation considering that the inter ment took place over 100 years ago The circumstances leading to the final discovery of the body are par ticularly interesting General Porter has conducted the search for the last five years and when congress recently took no action upon the presidents recommendation for the expenses in cident to the search the ambassador continued the extensive labors at his own expense A large force of work men has been engaged night and day tunneling and cross tunneling the old St Louis cemetery This constituted a huge operation embracing nearly a block covered with buildings and re quiring a system of subterranean min ing -hundreds of wooden caskets were found but not until Wednesday were unearthed four leaden caskets which gave promise of containing the body of the admiral Three of them bore plates designating the names of the deceased The fourth showed superior solidity of workmanship Noplatc was found on this casket and it is sup posed it was removed when another coffin was superimposed on it The leaden coffin was opened in the pres ence of Ambassador Porter Colonel Bailey Blanchard the second secre tary of the American embassy and Engineer Weis who has been direct ing the excavation The body was found to bo well preserved owing to its being immersed in alcohol It was wrapped in a sheet with a packing of straw and hay Those present were immediately struck by the resem blance of the head to that on the medallions and busts of the admiral As was anticipated no uniform de coration or sword was found as all such articles had been accounted for after the burial The coffin is shaped like a mummy coffin which coffins were common at that period widening from the feet to the shoulders with a round top fitting over the head The coffin was taken to the medical school where directors Capitan and Pilillau distinguished professors of the school of anthropology and recog nized authorities on such investiga tions were charged with making a thorough examination for the purpose of identification To facilitate this the ambassador furnished them with portraits and medallions two busts by Houdil and authentic descriptions of the color of the admirals hair and height and measurement of his body After the most minute examination j these facts were fully substantiated Length of the body five feet seven inches the admirals exact height Size and shape of the head agree with several peculiarities identical with the head of the admiral Hair dark brown the same as the admir als in places slightly gray indicat ing a person of his age 45 years The hair is long reaching below the j shoulders and is combfd back and i gathered in a clasp at the back of the neck OVER RIDES SUSAN 3 ANTHONY National Council of Women Deciarsa Divorce irvil to Be an Evil

BAD FOR ND ANS AGENT WILSON SAYS FREE WHISKY MEANS THEIR END RED MEN FORWARD A PROTEST Insitt That They Have Been Robbed of Their Lands and Money Belong ing to Them is Gobbled Up by the White Speculators WASHINGTON H G Wilson bonded school superintendent of the Winnebagoes arrived in Washington on matters before officials of the In dian bureau and expects to return home within a few days Upon his re turn he will install his successor W A McFatridge and this having been accomplished will start for Klamath 1 Ore having recently been appointed bonded school superintendent of the Klamath schools Mr Wilson in speaking of the con ditions on the Winnebago reservation respecting the sale of liquors said that during the recent months there had been much less drinking The re cent decision of the supreme court however holding there is no law to prevent the Winnebago or other In dians who hold full American citizen ship from purchasing liquor will have a disastrous effect This decision means the finish morally and physically of this tribe of Indians said Wilson If enabled to purchase whisky they will soon become extinct In fact it will be but a few years until nearly every able bodied man among them will have drank himself to death The Winnebagoes have filed a pro test with the secretary of the ulterior and commissioner of Indian affairs of the manner in which that tribe has been robbed of its lands and cast into outer darkness by the white man for the last twenty five years The Winne bagoes declare their lands which have apparently been sold by them have been taken away fraudulently Members of the tribe they assert have been forced to sign blank papers the3r know nothing about checks they have received have been taken from them by force or offset by enormous whisky bills their agents have falsi fied itemized accounts they sent to the department and during the last three months have ridden all over the reservation getting signatures from Indians to papers which enabled the speculators to get hold of their prop erly The climax they charge came when their agent himself handed to speculators direct the government checks money belonging to the In dians to pay fraudulent debts and whisky nots of Indians without in vestigation or hearing and without the knowledge and consent of the In dians The complaint is transmitted by Phillip Long a Winnebago and is signed by more than 100 of his tribesmen Some of the names attach ed are Red Legs Charles Earth George Longtail Louis Grayhair Green Rainbow Pet Snake Two Buf falohead South Wind Big Tree Walk ing Day

Association it may be proper to say that it is In fact a mutual society for savings in which every member pop ularly styled a depositor is a stock holder and entitled to share in the profits of the Company the aggregate savings being loaned to other mem bers of the Association It affords every person an opportun ity to at any time safely invest sums or 100 or more and assures him that whatever interest may be derived from loaning the aggregate sums will be divided pro rata and his share paid or credited quarter annually All money is loaned on first mort gage security or on stock of the Asso ciation to other members and is re paid in monthly installments Hence safety is as nearly absolute as possi ble and with common honesty and with the exercise of ordinary judg ment the institution cannot fail It is not intended to be as flexible as a bank since the State law renders all secu rites non negotiable There fore notice of withdrawal of money is required but this is more than off set by the higher rate of interest or dividends paid to its members Per manency in savings and investments ar3 its characteristics In additon to offering absolute safe ty for investments it also offers an
