A great deal of Interest has been awakened
recently In a large mound that lies cast ot
Han-lion street Just Inside ot the city limits.
It has always been more or less an object
of Interest and the cause of considerable spec
ulation as to Its origin , but It Is quite re
cently that people who are able to look deeper
than the surface have had their attention
called to It. Hcccnt Investigations make It
certain that the mound Is the work ot human
hands. It lies at tlio point where two tmall
ravines Join the larger valley , through which
Upper Harrison street winds around to the
toil of tlio Mynster springs hill. It h about
equally distant from the sides of the bluffs
and baa a general level of ten or twelve feet
above tlio bottom of the little glade whore It
lies. It Is In the form ot a parallelogram ,
about 50x150 feet , and llts straight cast and
west. The cast cud Juts out beyond the
square lines and takes the form , of a broad
letter V , and at the sama distance from the
northeast corner a circular form appears , re-
bcmbllng somewhat a bay window. The
spot has been gardened and farmed for many
years , but all of tbe plowing and harrowing
and the washing away of the loose soil have
not been sufllclcnt to change Its general out
line. A number of stone arrow heads and
stone axes bavo been found on the surface
of the mound A very flno one was found
there yesterday. The top of the mound has
been recently plowed and the heavy rain a
few nights ago wasbtd away the eoll and
exposed tbu stone lellc.
That the mound Is not a natural formation
Is evidenced by the fact that the material of
which It is constructed Is soil with but llt-
tlo clay In It , and this little lying In
bunches and streaks. I\i the center still
stands the stump of an Immense walnut tree ,
hewed down more than a quarter of a cen
tury ago , and which by Its great size Is
shown to have been at least a century or two
of age.
These who have examined the mound In
telligently are confident that It Is an ex
traordinarily well presetted Indian mound ,
whoso Interior contains many of the secrets
of the red race that lived hero many years
aga.

A carload of running horses belonging to
Burns & Waterhousoof San Francisco arrived
hero yesterday and were unloaded at the
driving park for the purpose of permitting
the animals to have a little rest after their
long trip across the continent. They were
In the cars eighty-four hours and were very
weary when they reached this city. The car
contains eleven thoroughbreds , 2 and 3 ycais
old. They are en route from the stables to
Sheepshead Bay , where they have been en
tered In the races. The animals are In
charge of G. W. Tuttl& and Trainer Dan
Stone. Jockey Thorpe , who rides for the
stable , went through a few days ago and
stopped off to visit his relatives near Sioux
City. None of the horses have yet made
records , but their owners and trainers feel
pretty confident that they will be heard from
before the season Is over. Among the string
are some splendid looking animals , with
appearances and movements that indicate
great speed. In the 2-year-old lot Is bay colt
Dan , a handsome fellow , whose trainer says
knows enough to be president ; bay colt Bliss
Hucker , a well muscled and clean limbed
youngster , who looked longingly from bis
stall at the fine stretch of track before him
and seemed impatient to make a dash around
It ; San Dlmas , another bay colt and a racer
In which the owners and trainers place gicat
reliance as a future winner. The other 2-
y car-olds are bay filly Napomax , bay filly
Hccrcatlon and chestnut filly MUs Howenla.
There are four 3-year-olds that have made
training records that bavo created great
hopes for their orwners They aio Cordelia ,
Burns & Watcrhouse , Parthemax and Shasta
Water.
The horses are all very sore from their long
trip and are not In condition to receive visit
ors. They will be kept at the track stables
for several days , perhaps a week , until they
thoroughly recover from their fatigue.

the paper In which applications for liquor
llccnee must be published. This resolution
still stands and will ho enforced. Mayor
Rnsor undertook to ; veto it , in fact did send
In a veto , which received two votes to sup
port It. The tlty charter plainly defined the
duties of the chief executive. In the sec
tion devoted to the mayor thq law says that
the mayor has no right to veto a resolution
unless it carries with It an expenditure of
municipal money. The resolution In ques
tion has nothing to do with the expenditure
of city money , consequently 'Mayor ' Ensor
overstepped his powers when ho attempted
to Interpose his veto. Protests will bo flltd
today against the application of every sa-
looa keeper who Bias not advertised according
to law and In compliance with the resolu
tion of the city council.

nDATKICC , Neb , April 25. ( Special Tel
egram. ) The flood has rapidly subsided dur
ing the past twenty-four hours , It being es
timated that the Ulue river Is fufly seven feet
lower than at this time last evening. As It
becomes possible to get around over the sub
merged territory It becomes more evident that
the loss of property has been very much
heavier than was at first anticipated. Of
Iho railroads the Union Pacific suffered the
wor t , It being estimated that between Corl-
land and Manhattan over fifty miles of track
has been underwater , lletwccn lleatrlcc and
Cortland the track Is almost entirely washed
out ot line , a great deal of It being swept oft
of the right ot way. It will bo several das
before cither the Ilurllngton , Hock Island or
Union Pacific will get a train east out of here ,
as all three bridges over Dear creek are out.
The weather today has been perfect and
these delegated to look after supplies In the
way of food , clothing , etc , for the flood suf-
leicrs have put lu a busy day. The eating
house opened on the west side jcetorday lias
fed all comers slnco that time , and It Is safe
to say that tonight there Is not ono who
was made homeless by the flood but that Is
well fid , clothed and housed , llul one death
so far as can be learned has resulted from
the high waters , that one being one of the
Uurllngton bridge gang , a man named I.aw-
rcnce from Holdrcge , who was drowned today
at the Dear Creek bridge and whoeo body
has not ) et been recovered. It Is thought
by tomorrow evening all submeiKcd prop
erty will bo clear of water and occupants so
unceremoniously driven from their homes
can return to them.
TECUMSDH , Neb , April 25 ( Special
Telegram. ) Iho Hood conditions In Johnson
county have proved very grave. The county

In three different places near hero on the
north Is waehcd out fully a mile , and a good
sized bridge Is out near Smartvlllc. Wash
outs are also reported near Sterling. South
of here the roads are also badly washed and

Telegraph poles are also down. The only
railioad and telegraphic communications are
by way of Nebraska City. The town has
had no trains today , Headmaster llracken ,
with a corps of sixty men made good ad
vancement In replacing track today He

Of this number SSS , or nearly cno-half , have

actual figures made by the Hoard ot Health.
Nearly eighty thousand people lu five years
In New York City nlono ha\o died from throat

thousands who had throit and lung diseases ,
and who have reco\ercd , how terrible an ar
ray of facts docs this | > re cnt.
Doctors ha\o eald In the past that most ot
thrso troubles cro Incurable ; they are now
nmllng such Is not the rase. The best phy
sicians declare that n man or woman , oven In
advanced stages of consumption , can Iho for
joafs and ON en to old ago by a careful and
constant utc of pure whiskey , but It thoulit
bo remembered that the word pure Is always
used by plislclans. There Is but ono ab
solutely pure whiskey , end that Is Duffy's
malt. In Its purity rests its great power ,
although It has other qualities po < se sed by
no other whiskey. A child can take It with
out any e\Il effects , and for restoring par
tially consumed lungtt , building watte tissue ,
and giving health anil strength In the place
of disease ! and weakness , It elands absolutely
without a rival. Care ehoulf bo taken to
iecuro only the genuine. Do not tiust any
dealer who tries to substitute something In
the place ot Duffy's , but Insist on having what
