FINDS OLD INDIAN VILLAGE
Former Home of the Omakas Explored by
E. II. Blackmail.
REAL RELICS OF THE FIRST SETTLERS
Cnrlonn Two-Storr CocIips on the
Villas SHuSMf Gllmore, Sarpy
County Other Indian
Itnlna SoaftUt.
E. li. Hlackman of fae Nebraska State
Historical society, has explored the Indian
village site slitiaU'd on the farm of Amos
Gates, a mllo west of Gllmorc, Neb.
This village came under the observation
cf early settlers in Surpv county. About
May 1, IS", about 850 Omaha Indians de
serted this village site and moved to the
Omaha nervation In Thurston county.
The firBt night out they camped on the Fa
pllllon creek, five or' six miles north of the
village, and some of the band returned and
burned the remnant of the huts left.
Mr. Gates, who bought the claim about
h time the Indians moved, says that
when he came there, about May 15, 185S,
there was nothing to be seen except the
charred ruins of the huts and numerous
caches" or cellars.
Mr. Gates says there were certainly sev
enty-flve of these caches. They were about
seven feet deep, small at top and arched
like a cistern. One may now be seen In
cross section on the edge of a cut where
the Rock Island railroad passes through
the village site. The original bank is of a
light yellow color, while the soil which has
washed Into the excavation Is black surface-
soil. The bottom of the cache shows
a line of ashes ml broken pottery about
in Inch thick. The bottom Is level and
nearly seven feet across. The line of the
bottom rests certainly seven feet below
the level, but the opeulng is not well de
Oaed. but two feet from the level the
black earth which. Is filled In can be dis
tinguished readily from the original bank
and shows the cache at this point to have
been three feet across.
An Interesting Find.
This Is one of the most Interesting finds
In the stuto and It will be photographed.
The banks of the railroad cut are quit
firm and there Is no reason why thla shall
not remain to be studied for years to come.
One hundred feet width of this railroad
cut was a large cache, which Mr. Gates
observed when he tlrst moved on the claim.
It had every appearance of tho numerous
graves nearby and he supposed It to be
such, until one day a band of Indians
camped near and began taking off the
earth and sticks which covered it. From
this cache they took a quantity of corn
and some blankets. After they were gono
Mr. Gates examined the hole and found it
to be a double cache. Another cache was
dug below the tlrst. A small opening into
the lower grew larger until at a depth of
a number ot feet It became nearly as large
as the first.
These caches are all tilled up now and
the land Is farmed. How many of these
second-story caches may exist can only be
determined by digging. There may be very
interesting things found In the under
caches which are still covered and securely
sealed.
Poverty of the Omaha.
In lf&5 traders had been among the
Omahas so long that few of the Stone Age
Implements still existed. This site Is bar
ren of stone age material. There Is oc
casionally a flint chip and one perfect
scraper was found. A very few potsherds
were Intermingled with broken crockery
and Iron scraps. When the Omahas moved
fiom this village they were very poor.
For a number of years the government had
been trying to have them farm and lnped
to make them soif-suFtalniiig. The buf
falo was gone from the hl!!s to the far
western plains and the best meat the poor
Omahas had was government salt pork. He
I did not know how to farm and he was very
I poor. They had but little of Interest to a
relic hunter and they took with them every
article that could be used or iraaea.
On top of a grave which naa reen
plowed over for years was found a brace
let of Iron, rusted but still strong. The
graves are on the high points of hills sur
rounding the site of the village. One grave,
which the Indians came to visit eivery year
for twenty or thirty years Is still marked
on the edge of a high bluff.
It Is not known how long the Omahas
lived here, but It was probably not many
years. They were allurrd to this place by
its proximity to Belleview. which was the
site of the Indian agency for a number of
years (probably during the and a few
years later). The sue is an mrai one,
and commanding, while the Papllllon creek
runs at the very base of the hill, only a
am rrnm the village: the valley of the
TaplUlon afforded pasture In abundance and
there was timber for fuel and building In
fact the situation was so Ideal that they
were loath to leave It and the government
had not a little trouble. They had about
:o acres under the plow and farmed it with
hoes, after the government had broken the
land for them.
Potsherds of original Indian earthenware
are scarce at this time, although a few are
to be found, but the flint arrow tip and
scraper could not have been used very com
monly as they are not abundant.
This is the forty-second Indian village
site explored in this state, and still there
are many more that are as yet unknown.
Persons knowing of any Indian ruin In
their vicinity are asked to write to E. E.
Blackman, Station A. Lincoln. Neb., to the
end that the state may be thoroughly
charted. UncoJn Journal.

SOME FACTS ABOUT CANCER
Increase, Cause and Cure Discussed by an
Eastern Physioian.
LITTLE KNOWN ABOUT ITS REAL NATURE
Rapid Increase In Half a Century
Causes that Develop Cancers
Cares Kffected in Some
Cases.
Some facts as to the Increase of cancer
during the last forty years, its cure, and
Its alleviation when cure is not possible.
were staled at a recent clinical lecture at
the Nw York Skin and Cancer hospital.
Dr. Bainbridge said that In IK) there were
nine cases of canoer to each lOO.uOo of popu
lation; that during each siuceedlng ten years
there was a steady Increase, and that In
1890 there were something more than thirty
three cases of cancer to each 100,000 persons.
From 1850 to 1800 the Increase was only two
and a fraction cases to each 100,000 of popu
lation, while from 1880 to 1S90 there was an
increase of more than seven cases to each
100,000.
In speaking of the cause of cancer. Dr.
Bainbridge said that little that Is In any
way satisfactory Is known, adding:
"With the reports from the Gratwick
Pathological laboratory In Buffalo, tending
to prove that cancer is of parasitic origin
and that It Is contagious, and the conclu
sion, about to be made public, of the Har
vard cancer commiwlon, after two years
spent in exhaustive investigation, that It is
found that cancer Is not t.t paraslttc origin,
and Is neither hereditary nor contagious,
we realise that we know about as much
about the rual cause of the dlHeaxe as did
Hippocrates'."
Still, data are being collected which may
be expected to give definite results later.
For example. It has been ascertained that
there are certain regions known aj cancer
belts, where the disease Is much more prev
alent than elsewhere, and why this is so
will undoubtdly be determined.
Also It Is known that constant Irritation
at any point Is liable to cause a cancerous
growth and that persons using tobacco and
alcoholic stimulants are much more liable
to cancer of the throat and mouth than
those who do not. Statistics show that of
1,000 women suffering from cancer only thir
teen had cancer of the mouth and throat,
while of the same number of men 111 had
cancer In this region. Of these, Beventy-.
Ave used alcoholic stimulants and tobacco.
Irrltutlon Dangerous.
Dr. Bainbridge emphasized the fact that
constant Irritation of any portion of the
body Is dangerous, as a cancerous condition
Is likely to develop. Illustrating this he
spoke of one of his patients who had ex
tensive cancer develop from the bruising or
a wart on the back of his hand which was
neglected and In the end made amputation
necessary. He also said that teeth not
properly cared for frequently caused cancer
of the mouth.
It was stated that cancerous growths were
not confined to human beings; that horsee
suffering from cancer may be found In al
most any veterinary hospital and that dogs,
and, in fact, all domestic animals have can
cer. Fowls and birds, both wild and do
mestic, are subject to cancerous growths,
and fishes of almost all kinds have been
taken with well defined cancer in different
stages of development.
The assertion of Alexander Dowle of Zlon
that those 'Who do not eat pork or Its prod
ucts do not have cancer was disproved at
this clinic, as there was present an ortho
dox Jew who had never tasted pork In any
form, but who had cancer of the stomach.
Though the cancer from which this man is
suffering Is so located that It cannot be
cured. Dr. Bainbridge has, by repeats op
erations, for several years kept him able to
continue to support his family by working
ss a tailor. In fact, It was demonstrated
that the dangers and Inconveniences of a
surgical operation are now scarcely more
than attend a slight Illness.
The unqualified statement was made that
all cancer begins as a benign growth; that
while In that stage It Is absolutely local,
and If fully extirpated a cure should result.
When not removed while still benign, ex
tension may take place by direct Infection
of surrounding tissue, though usually It
Is through the lymphatics or blood chan
nels. Cancerous growths are of varying de
grees of malignancy.
Borne tend to return more readily than
others.
Speaking of the cure of cancer, Dr. Bain
bridge stated that the Roentgen rays,
Flnnen light, Piffnrd lamp and radium may
cure superficial cancer in selected cases,
and aro of distinct vulue in relieving In
operative cases, though a marked increase
of the growth usually follows their
use. Scrum-therapy for cancer has not
passed beyond the experimental stage,
and no very definite results nave as yet
been obtained, but work in this line is
going forward.
When cure is not possible palliative ope
rations are performed which, even In the
most aggravated cases, make the putiont
comfortable. One of these Is tho cutting
of the nerves which convey the sensations
of pain to the brain from the affected
tract, after which there Is no more con
scious suffering.
Among the Interesting Illustrations of
complete surgical cure of cancers shown
at the clinic was the case of a woman 73
years of age. The operation In her casj
Involved the removal ot a large proportion
of the pectoral muscles and the glands of
the uxllla on the right side, and yet the use
of the right arm is in no way Impaired
and tho woman Is perfectly strong and well.
A Rotable Cure,
Another case Illustrating the comr'ete
cure of a cancer so located that the epila
tion. In connection with -the results, Is
unique In the annals of surgery, was that
of Thomas McGwire, whose tongue, lonulli
and the Inferior third of the pillars of tho
fauces on the left side and part of the an
terior pillar of the fauces on the right side
were removed. It was stated that for
twenty y-ara Mr. McGuire had smoked
twenty cigars a day. It was his habit to
hold the cigar In the left side of the mouth
resting agalist the tongue, and an lrrlU-
Ihe, operation Involved the removal of
the organs usually known as those of
,hr VKJl W"8 80 Bk""y Performed
that Mr. McGuire can masticate, taste,
talk and also sing. A physician present
who had heard of Mr. McGuire's vocal
feats asked him if ho ,.n,,ii u
Ages - " ol
"Why, damn It, of course I can'" Mr
McGuire replied.
He then proceeded to ping the old hymn
with excellent enunciation.
Although In performing this operation
the skin of Mr. McGuire s throat was liter,
ally cut from ear to ear there are no dis
figuring scarH. This was also true In other
cases where extenHlve operations had been
performed, showing that by the clever tech
nique now practiced by the best surgeons
disfigurement Is iilmost wholly avoided.
In a littlo more than three weeks after
this operation Mr. McGuire was discharged
from the hospital cured, having gained ten
pounds during his stay. He Is now in per
fect health and has since the removal of
his tongue courted and married a wife.
