Workmen, In grading a lot at 609 Stuts.
man street, the property of John T. Hen
derson, unearthed a headless skeleton, ap
parently that of a child 13 or 14 years of
ace. The skeleton stood In the ground
head downward and had evidently been
there for a long period, as the bones were
stained brown. The surrounding earth
was light clay, but directly around the
skeleton was black earth, taken to Indi
cate that the body had been placed in. a
hole of some sort and the hole tilled up.
As far aa Is known the place where the
skeleton was found was never used as a
burying ground. It Is thought possible that
the skeleton Is the remains of some body
buried by the Mormons when they so-
' Journed on their way to Utah.

PIRE HAS ITS CHRISTENING
Large Crowd Assembled to Witness TJniqus
Ceremonies.
STREETS AND STORES ARE ILLUMINATED
People Called la Such Urse Humbert
that Street Cars Have a Drfflcalt
Time GettlaK Through that
Section.
A stranger visiting Council Bluffs last
night could readily have Imagined that
street fair was In progress on Broadway,
Judging from the enormous crowd which
practically blockaded the portion of this
main business street between Main and
Bryant streets. No street fair, carnival
or circus ever attracted such a crowd as
gathered last evening to take In the festlvl
tics attendant on the formal- christening
of "The Pike," the name by which the
north side of Broadway between Main and
Bryant streets Is henceforth to be known.
The crowd reached from curb to curb.
alongside of which hundreds of vehicles
of all kinds were to be seen with their
occupants fully enjoying the various feat
ures. So denso was the crowd that the
street cars had the greatest difficulty In
making their way through It.
"The Pike" was brilliantly Illuminated
with hundreds of varl-colored electric
lights and Japanese lanterns, while every
store was elaborately decorated with flags,
bunting and colored lights. A band par
aded the street the entire evening render
ing a number of novel pieces, specially
arranged for the occasion.
The ceremonies' opened with Charles
Haverstock singing from the balcony of
the Odd Fellows' building a song entitled
"The Pike," written for the occasion by
George Fitch, a local newspaper man. In
the absence of Mayor Macrae, John Jay
Fralney delivered a' short address of dedi
cation, which was followed by the floral
christening, performed by little Miss Verna
Maurer, daughter of C. F. Maurer, of the
firm of Swalne & Maurer. The Are de
partment then gave ail exhibition run and
coupling.
From that on the crowd made merry as
if at a carnival. Quantities of fireworks
were exploded and the street was aglow
with red Are. All of the merchants on
The Pike" distributed souvenirs In honor
of the occasion and the rush for these
articles In the different stores was' a sight
to behold and one not soon to be for
gotten. The crowd kept possession of the
street until past 10 o'clock. The merchants
Interested were much pleased with the suc
cess of the undertaking.

FOOTPADS MAKE BRUTAL ASSAULT
Mr.
d Mrs. II. O. Fcad Beaten vrlth
Sandbags.
Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Fead of 213 Washing
ton avenue were last night the' victims of a
lirutul assault at the hands of footpads.
The assault was committed immediately In
front of their home, the place being quite
dark on account of the trees. They had
been downtown attending the opening ex
ercises of the Pike and were returning
home shortly after 10 o'clock. On ap
proaching their home they saw two men
standing in front of their residences, but
paid no attention to them. As Mr, Fead
and his wife came up one of the men,
without any preliminaries, struck him on
the head with a sandbag, felling him to the
ground. Mr Fead arose only to receive
another blow In the face. Mrs. Fead at
this time started to go to the aaslstance of
her husband and she received a vicious
blow In the face with a sandbag.
The cries for assistance had started the
neighbors toward the scene and the two
men who committed the assault fled and
the police have as yet been unable to se
cure any trace of them. Mr. and Mrs.
Fead say both of their assailants were
young men and are able to give a fairly
good descrlpion of their general appear
ance, but on account cf the darkneas could
not diatlngulshe the features. -
It Is supposed the motives of the assail
ants was robbery.
Mr. and Mrs. Fead are suffering consider
ably from the blows received, but their In-'
Juries are not considered dangerous.

AMES. Ia.. Aug. 13.-r(SpeclaL William
Vasey, a farmer residing at Collins, has
brought suit against the Chicago A Mil
waukee raliroad for $238.60. The case grows
out of a delay In the shipment of a carload
of cattle to the Chicago market last Jan
uary. Vasey claims that the car of stock
left Collins at 9 o'clock January 20 and by
delay did not reach its destination until
noon 'the following day, when the market
was off 10 cents. The decline in price and
the expense of keeping the stock over
caused him a loss equal .to the amount
asked for.
A similar case has been filed by Stark
Atwood, In which he aaks JS6.60 damages
for loss on a car of cattle and hogs, giving
the same causes fof loss aa In the above

Opinions secured from leading democrats
of Iowa today In reference to the way they
accept the speech of Judge Alton B. Parker,
Indicate that the address In reply to the

democrats as an excellent production. This
Is especially true of the old line democrats
who have been out of line with the party
In this state for several years, but the
newer free ""stiver leaders are also coming
Into camp and accepting his views. That
which Is most pleasing to them Is the ex
pressions In the speech of acceptance in
regard to the trusts and monpolles and
they, believe that he has stated the demo
cratic position more strongly than the
party platform.

CORK FOR LIFE PRESERVERS
Competition Keen In the Sale of Ma
terial to Keep Heads Above
Water. ,
NEW TORK, Aug. 13. Inquiries by your
correspondent among ship chandlers and
dealers In steamship supplies reveals the
fact that life preservers and life belts filled
with granulated cork have been withdrawn
from the market. , The dealers frankly
state that they have not sold them since
the Slocuin dlssster, In which more than
,000 lives were lost.
Kapoc, the fibrous floss substitute for
cork, waa at first regarded as superior to
cork In Its qualities of buoyancy and It was
approved by the Board of Supervising In
spectors of the steamboat aervlce In W02.
Later tests have shown, however, that
nly a superior quality of paper Is as good
as cork. The floss Is obtained rrom a tree
Indigenous to the East Indies, and th
quality of the fibre vsrles. It bears a cloae
resemblance to cotton, or to so-called wild
cotton, and dealers complain that the latter
Is sometimes substituted In life belts.
Representatives of the cork trade told
me that block cork, or a form of com
pressed cork, waa the only safe material
to be used In life preservers.
Kopac and granulated cork life preservers
are 10 per cent cheaper than solid cork. In
fitting out a ateamer ship owners can save
several hundred dollars by using th sub
stitute which Is approved by the govern
ment Inspectors, and many of them have
been taking advantage of this fact.
"W haven't been selling granulated cork
life bella since the Slocum disaster," said
several dealers In Chambers street. "Good
cork Is all right, even If It Is granulated.
But lit the course of lime the canvas cover
ing of a life preserver decays. If there Is
a rent In ths cover and the belt Is plunged
Into the water the granulated cork Irimadl-
ately swells and forces Itself through the
aperture.
"Competition Is keen In the cork Jacket
business, and not Infrequently a muslin
covering Is used In place of canvas,
muslin deteriorates all the sooner."
The
TYPOGRAPHERSAT ST. LOUIS
International laloa Rcsnmcs Consid
eration of Laws ipon Last Day
of Convention and Adjooraa.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. lJ.-The work of the
fiftieth annual convention of the Interna
tional Typographical union, which ad
journed sine die today, resulted In the com
plete revision of many of the general laws
embodied In the constitution that will have
far-rea!hlng effect on the printers' trade.
The section favoring the eight hour day
stands pre-eminently. If the referendum
before which this proposition has been
placed for final decision concurs with the
convention, as the delegates believe It will, j
48.000 union printers throughout Canada and
the I'lilted States will be affected. It Is
provided that the law shall go Into effect
January 1, 194, and a fund Is' to be raised
by assessment to stand the expenses of
a strike If It should be found necessary to
resort to such a measure.
At the sixth and last day's session of the
International Typographical union the con
sideration of the committee on laws was
resumed. Favorable action was taken by
the convention on the proposition to pro
vide for the administering of obligations by
certificate to new members outside the Jur
isdiction of subordinate unions, making
more stringent the present law relative to
abuse and vituperative language against
any member, providing a standard of meas
urement for linotype matrices and provid
ing that provisional members may use the
union label.
After a lengthy discussion. In which the
Internal affairs of printing offices figured as
a prominent factor, the convention sus
tained the decision of the executive council
which upheld the action of a New Orleans
foreman In discharging a certain printer on
the ground of alleged incompetency. The
delegates who opposed the decision asserted
that tho printer In question had been dis
charged by the foreman because Of personal
feeling. Information concerning the deci
sion of the executive council had been sent
to every subordinate union In the country
by the Jew Orleans union, and the action
of the convention today In sustaining the
verdict Is of Interest to every union print
ing office in the land. The convention's ac- I
tlon establishes a precedent which, it Is
said, will make it necessary for . & man
working In any department of a union
printing office to be absqlutely competent i
to perform the work required of him.
After the adoption of a unanimous vote
of thanks to the officers of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition company for their
courtesy and to the press for the Impartial
manner In which the proceedings of tha
convention were handled the convention
adjourned sine die. to meet at Toronto,
Canada, in the second week of August, 1906.
SPRINTER USES.A CRUTCH
Cripple Ontrans Heavyweight ia Race
to the Top of Washington
Monument.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Hobbllng on
one crutch, W. B. Mahnney, a one-legged
man from Athena, Pa,, raced Frank Kon
nard, a large, husky gentleman from
Easton, Pa., weighing about 236 pounds,
to the top of the Washington monument
one day late this week, and beat him by
more than five minutes. About 200 excur
sionists looked on and cheered.
The monument elevator was not running
when the crowd of excursionists arrived
and while waiting at the foot Mahaney,
who Is somewhat of a Joker, picked out
the biggest man In the crowd and chal
lenged him for a race up the great shaft.
Most everybody laughed when he offered
to throw away one crutch and beni Ken-
nard, who, though heavy, Is finely propor
tioned, and said by Ms friends to be very
light on his feet. Kennard patronizingly
accepted the challenge, tha one-legged man
threw away his crutch and the race began.
For about 200 feet the contest seemed to
be even. But the monument Is 665 feet
high, and about half way up the big man
began to get short of wind. Mahaney
gradually drew away and finally reached
the top, where he leaned out of the window
and waved his hat to the crowd below.
Then he turned to look for his friend. He
waited five minutes and then started down.
He met the big man tolling upward about
fifty feet down the shaft
FOSSIL OF PREHISTORIC BIRD
Fonnd Under Klgrhty Feet of Solid
Rock at a Brown Stone
Quarry. 1
NEW TORK, Aug. 13. Under eighty feet
of solid rock has been found in the brown
stone quarry of Frederick W. Bhrump, in
i the Pleasantdale section of West Orange,
N. J., a perfect fossil Impress of the feet
of a prehistoric creature. The footprints
are three-toed, about three Inches long,
a,nd resemble bird tracks. There Is also the
trail, left apparently by the heavy tall of
the animal, and two parollel lines, which
may have been made by the creature's
wings. v
It Is believed by many that the animal
may have been a pterodactyl. Others say
the tracks are those of a rynchosarus. As
the quarrymen delve further Into the strata
they may encounter other tracks of this
creature, and Mr. Shrump says that every
effort wlil be made to cut out Intact a
large slab which will enable accurate
measurements to be made of Its stride.
FEZIE QUEERED HIMSELF
Was All Right Inlll He Admitted
HavlasT Two Wives and Will.
Ina to Take More.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-By the steamship
Sardegna, from Italian ports, arrived a
voyager from Turkey, attired In the cos
tume of that country, flowing trousers, fes
and all, and whose name Is approximately
Fesle Dambelajloglun. For economical rea
sons he will hereafter be referred to merely
as Fexle.
Fesle was well provided with money and
aald he had come here to establish himself
In business. There were no objections ti
his doing so, and the gorgeous alien was
about to be released when one of the in
spectors addressed to him the casual In.
qulry, "Are you married?" ( ,
Fesle promptly sold that he was very
much married-had two wives, and would
have had more but for the prevailing scar-
city of women In Turkey Just now. He
said this In an apologetic way, aa If th
possession of Only two wives was a paucity
of which any genuine Turk might well be
ashamed.
The Board of Special Inquiry directed
Fetle go back to Turkey quick, and mean
while will keep him under guard on Ellis.
Island until the vessel which brought him
here returns.
GUESSING AT SAGE'S WEALTH
Corn Brokers Raise a Question Which
Wonld Probably Tussle Mil.
Ilonalrc Himself.
NEW YORK. Aug. 13 In the (licence ef
I active business to transact curh broken
amused themselves today by guessing upon
the wealth of Russell Sage. There were
estimates made ranging from I.OflO.noo to
320O.0O0.0O0.
One man, who Is credited with some
knowledge of Mr. Page's affairs, said:
I place my guess at twice Mr. Sage's
I muitipHod by 1.000,000.
Mr. Sage was 88 years old last week, and
this estimate would place the value of hla
possessions at 317(1.000,000. or an average of
$2,000,000 accumulated for every year of his
life.
No one laid claim to any definite knowl
edge. It Is probable that Mr. Sngre him
self could not ascertain within several mil
lion dollars unless he employed expert ap
praisers to work for several weeks.
