that ho liypfl in the very town

adding that he hnd come to Omaha to pur
chase a big bilVf "goods " , Which wore already
packed in thd freight cars prcpatory to ship
ping. The newly made friends 6hattcd
pleasantly , andhvhon the train drew near the
depot they wont into the cars together. At
this juucturoi d.ypung man rushed breath
lessly in and informed the false merchant
that ho had .not yet , paid the freight
on his 'goods nnd 'that ' they would *
bo held if the bill was not promptly dis
counted. Over this the old man wont into a

not have n sufllcient Bum to liquidate with.

Under some pretext the two sharpers took
their leave , and so did the train. As it
nearcd South Omaha it dawned
upon Nichols that ho had been victimized ,
and alighting ho hurried back to look for the
men that had done him up. When passing a
Tenth street saloon ho caught n glimpse of
the "freight agent , " who turned out to be no
other than Tom Flaherty , the slickest of con-
lidonco men , nnd ho was promptlv arrested

confederate in the deal is supposed to bo n
fellow by the naino of Crawford , who has
been under police surveillance for some time.

very much excited over the efforts of Dexter
Alhvood of tlutt village to secure n fortune
by raking the muddy bottom of the Cliippowa

million pounds of gold were dropped over
board l > y the British paymaster , who was
hotly pursued by the Ynnkco cutter Logand.
The story has been current. In the village for
years.J'ho money was never jccovercd , and
u few flays ago Allwood startled everybody
by bringing un experienced diver and begin
ning nn exploration of the river bed. No
money Has yet been found , bnt it
was assoitud that the magnet used yes

hopes. It is a question if ho recovers the
money whether the government will allow
him to retain possession unmolested ,

London Standard : At the last moot
ing of the Anthropological Institute ,
Prof. Fltiwor , O. B. , director of the nat
ural history museum , gave ndoserlption
of the two skeletons of AUka1 ? , lately ob
tained in the Monlmttu country , Cen
tral Africa , by Emin Pnshd. Since this
dlminntlv6 tribe \vaa discovered by
Schwoirisurth in 1870 , they have ro-
coivcd considerable attontioo from vari
ous travelers , nnd anthropologists , and
general ilosorlptions and movements of
several living individuals , have been
published , bnt no account of their
osleological characters has boon given ,
and no specimens have bcoii submitted
to Careful nfinlomlcal examination.
The two skeletons are these of fully
trrown-up people , amnlo and fomalo.
The evidence tho.V afford entirely cor
roborates the view | ) rovlously dorlvod
from external mea&reinoiit that the
Akkos are amoiig the smallest , if not
actually the smallest people upon the
earth. Thcao skeletons are both of
thorn smaller than any other normal
skeleton , Binallor certainly than the
smallest Bushman's skeleton in any
museum in this country , and smaller
than any out of the twonty-nlno skele
ton's of the dimimitivo inhabitants of
the Andaman Islands , 6f which the di
mensions have boon recorded by Prof.
Flower In n previous communication to
the Anthropological Institute.
The height Of neither of thorn exceeds
1.210metres , or 4 foot , while a living
female Akka , of whom Emin Pasha has
sent careful measurements , is only 1.101
metres , or barely 3 foot 10 inches. The
results previously obtained from the
measurements of about half a dozen liv
ing Akkas are not quite so low as these ,
varying from 1.210 to 1.420 metres , and
give an average for both sovos of 1.350 ,
or 4 foot 6 } inches. But the numbers
measured are not sufficient for establish
ing the true average of the race ,
especially as it is hot certain that they
were all pure bred examples.
According to Toplnavd's list , there
nro only two known races which have a
mean height below 1,600 metres , viz. ,
the Nogritor of the Adaman Islands
(1.478) ( ) , and the bu&hmcn of South
Africa (1.404) ( ) , Of tho' real hoiffht of
the former wo have abundant and exact
evidence , both from living individuals
and from skeletons , which clearly
proves that they considerably exceed
the Akkas in stature. That this is also
tire case with the Bushmen there is little
tlo doubt. The point of comparative
size being sottlOdlt remains to consider
to what races the Akkas are most near
ly allied.
That they belong in all thoir'essen
tial characteristics to the black or Negroid
reid branch of the hunmn species there
can bo no doubt in fact , they exhibit
all the essential characteristics of that
branch oven to exaggeration. The
form of the head is somewhat moro
rounded than usual , but it has been
shown that in Equatorial Africa , ex
tending from the west coast far into the
interior , tire scattered tribes of negroes
distinguished from a. majority of the in
habitants of the continent by this spec
ial cranialicharactor as well as by their
smaller stature , to which the mamo
"Negrillo" has been applied by Hamy.
It is to this race of the Negroid branch
that the Akkas belong , and they are not
by any means closely allied , either to
Bushmen or the Ncgritor of the Indian
ocean , except in so far as'thoy are mem
bers of the same great'branch , distin
guished among the general character
by their closely curled or frizly hair.
It is possible that the Negrillo people
gave origin to the stories of'pygmies so
common in the writings of the 'Greek '
poets and historians , and Whose habita
tions were often placed near the sources
of the Nile. The name Akka , by
which Schwoinfurth says the tribe now
call themselves , has , singularly enough ,
been read by Marietta Pasha by the
side of the portrait of a dwarf in a mon
ument of the ancient Egyptian empire.

Chicago In tor-Ocean : Captain John
Cashner , of tbo Black Hills , of Dakota ,
is at present visiting friends in Chicago ,
In tlio course of a pleasant cbat with a
rcpoitor for tbo Inter-Ocean about tbat
far region of nature's richest treasure's ,
ho related many interesting episodes of
hie early life there , but perhaps tlio
most interesting of all was bis story of
thobtono fount ! at Spoarflsb , near Deadwood -
wood , upon whicb is inscribed tbo his
tory of tbn earliest penetration of white
men into tlio bills , written in a band
trembling with the weakness of death
itself , by the last survivor of that faiod
expedition.
This stone , irregular in shape , nnd
about ton inches by eight in size , was
found March 15,1B77 , by Lewis Thorno ,
a stonemason of Spoarlish. It was found
accidentally , carefully concealed under
a larger stone , and so placed as to bo
protected from the elements.
Upon ono side , traced in trembling
lines , but still legible , are the words :
"Camo to these hills in 1833 seVen of
vs Do Lacompt Ezra Kind G W Wood
T Brown R Kent Wm King Indian
crow all ded but mo Era Kind Killed
by Inds beyond the high hill got our
gold Juno I'm. "
On the other side is written : ,
"Got all of the gold wo could carry
our pony all got by the Indians I have
lost my gun and nothing to oat and
Indians hunting mo. "
"Tho traditions of the Indians , " said
Captain Cashnor , "bear out the story
of this stone. William Gay , an old
scout and hunter in the hills , has got
the same stary fronvthe Indians. They
toll of a band from their tribe who were
out hunting ono day and found the
waters of tno "Whitowood , muddled ns
they supposon by beavers. They
followed up the stream to find the game ,
and came upon this party of gold hunt
ers. According to the traditions of the
Indians , a largo party were on tholr
way west across tbo plains , whorf some
of them became dissatisfied and
branched off into the Black Hills. The
rest of the party bus never , that I know
of , been hoard from , The Indians , find
ing this little band at worlr , swdpt down
on thorn and took their gold and their
llvoc , Kind being the only ono who
escaped. "
"So much for the hlbtory , " said Cap
tain Cashner. "Since this information
came into my possession I have en
deavored to find Bomo trnco of the his
tory of these early explorers , and I have
received iv letter from a man in Troy ,
Mo , , who elates that his uncle , Thomas
Brown , accompanied by n man named
Richard Kent , joined a largo party of
gold hunters in 133 and went west , but
that nothing has over been heard of
thorn since. There in also n family of
Do Laeomptes living in Nebraska , with
whom I shall cQihmupicato. But this , "
added Captain Cashner , "is'undoubtod ! v
the first gold taken out of the Black
Hills , and as there is reliable evidence
of its having boon sold bold by the In-
( Rans to the agents of tlio Hudson Bay
company for $1,600 , it must have been a

Chicago Inter-Ocean : Up In the Nee
Ban building , 210 State street , Is a little
second-hand shop , opened ycst6rday nnd
placed in charge of ft swodl younp
woman with bipr , dark eyes , palo cheeks
and thick , black hair. _ ' On racks and
skeletons hang1 empty 'dr'ossos dresses
for shopping , for the matinee , the
promenade , the drawing - room ,
church , tlio lounge and the fireside ;
gowiu of satin and lace hang limp across
table tops and chair backs ; wrappers of
fapaneso orapo , shot with tiny bees ,
butterflies , and hirdsmnko little clothes
piles about the iloOr , and oh a long table
are tiny slippers , rich furs , bright
flowers , fluffy plumes , filmy scarfs , and
bonnets that cost not a penny less then
$50 when new , making in all u mournful
mass of finery.
The goods were once the pride of Mrs.
Emory Storrs , who now resides on the
North Side in a quiet little homo with
hot1 great grief for a companion , and a
heart full of anxiety for her future.
The trossoau is made up of odds and
ends , but the material is of excellent
quality , and besides getting good value
for the money invested , the buyer will
bo benefiting the relict of ono of
Chicago's most distinguished lawyers.
The prettiest bits in the lot are two
tea jackets , made of silk bolting cloth" ,
with flowers embroidered in chenilles ;
these can be worn over a satin tea gown
or sillc skirt with oxqxisifo effect , A
very handsome Japanese droBSJng robe
of facarlot lined quilted pongee is offered
for $30 , and the same value is put on a
short suit of terra-cotta silk lace ilounc-
cd. A tea coat of dark blue silk crepe
is offered for $1C , and if the buyer does
not care to wear it she can line it with
quilted satin and have an artist's idea
of a pluno or easel scarf , for the stuff is
light and silky'and hero and there are
dainty birds and things in still life con
ventionalized , nnd hand wrought.
A long reception dress of
palo yellow satin , gored with
blue , might bo reconstructed at small
cost , and there is an opera coat of while
satin , brocaded with morning glories
and fur-trimmedthat , needs not a thread
of alteration. Ono handsome gown for
street wear is a cloth of ilch ruby rod ,
with Jackotand bonnet to match , nnd
will sell for $3 and wear through two
seasons. The bonnets are really lovely
little snug affairs made on gold or
silver not , lace trimmed , plumed with
tips and pierced lioro and there with
tiny gold pins. Ahig1x > x plum full of
satin poppies , linen tulips , silicon roses ,
wavy plumes , and clusters of spring and
autumn blossoms are to ho had fbr a

longer than a load pencil , with block
heels and pretty toes , beaded , bowed , or
embroidered , made in yellow , maroon ,
wliito and black satin , made in Paris ,
too , and as good as now.
Yesterday more than 150 ladles
climbed up to the little salesroom ,
mauled the gowns and flowers , 'got the
prices , satisfied their curiosity , and
climbed down ugain only two making
purchases both being actresses.
