FIND HI MAX BOXES AT BLAIR
Fersaer Faeevers Ten Skells Barled
. la Circle.
BLAIR, Neb..- May . (Special.) Edwin
Hovendlck, a farmer Urine; about two
mllea south of this city, while plowing In
hla field today unearthed a lot of human
bones, and returning later with a pick and
hovel he carefully removed the earth to
the depth of about one foot and there found
ten sfculla and a lot of bones, among which
were several thigh bones and aome rll.
The moat curious part of the find waa the
position In which the skulls and twines were
found. The ten skulls were In two half
circles facing each other, with one or two
more In the north half circle. The skulls
were In an upright position and In the cen
ter between tNe half clrclea were piled the
bonea. One ot the thigh bonea waa plainly
seen to have been broken at aome time
nil borl knit tnaether. Many of the teeth
were In a well preserved condition and
most of them well worn down on the sides,
showing that they had belonged to old
people. Borne of the skulls were bo unlike
the others In shape that It would seem
they had belonged to an entirely different
race of people. The position In wtilch they
were found shows plainly that they were
not burled that way at the time of death.
One of the skulls was mashed In on one aide
as if by a heavy blow. It la aurmlsed that
some party of huntera, campera or othera
had froxen to death or been murdered and
someone later on had burled their remalna
Jn thia way. They were all within a space
of less than a yard square. Some doaen
feet away some small bonea were found
that looked aa If they were thoae of
small child. No trinkets of any kind were
found. The place where Mr. Hovendlck
plowed out theae old-time rellca la on the
high 'bluff overlooking a long, deep valley
that extenda eaatward toward the Mla
sourl river, and only mile or two from
another high bluff where old settler, say
that soma high offlclala of the Mormon
church had their camp one summer during
their stay In this part of Nebraska. Othera
recall aome storle. of bloody
along thia aid. of the river, aa told to them
years ago by atlll older settlers.

questions never before presented to th.

following:
First Lllburn Phillips is not a man of re

not such a man of respectable character
and standing.
Second Because th Issuance of a license
to self malt, spirituous and vlnoue liquors
Is contrary to a portion of section 1 of
the constitution of the state of Nebraska,
which says that 'religion and morality are
essential to good government."
Th!rd-Bncause the Issuance of a license
to sell malt, spirituous and vinous liquors
la contrary to section It of the constitution
of the state of Nebraska, which reads as
follows: "The blessings of free govern
ment can only be maintained by a firm
adherence to Justice, moderation, temper
ance, frugality and virtue and by frequent
recurrence to fundamental principles."
Fourth Your remonstrator further ob
jects to the Issuance of license to the said
Lilburn Phillips for the reason that that
part of chapter 60 of the statutes of Ne
braska entitled "Ltquors.v of which section
I provides for and authorlxea the granting
of licenses to sell malt, spirituous and
vinous liquors. Is contrary to the letter
and spirit of the constitution of the state
of Nebraska, and therefore unlawful and
unconstitutional.

Governor Sheldon today granted his first
hearing on an application for a pardon
under th. new law. The petitioner was
Dave Archer of Cherry county, sentenced
for one year for shooting Louis Bock, a
neighbor. Senator Hanna appeared for the
prisoner and County Attorney Tucker op
posed th. application. Archer said h. shot
Bock after the latter had shot at him
and b. repeated what he said was his
story told on the witness stand. He said
hla attorneys got 13 from him to hire
another lawyer to keep him from appear
ing for the prosecution and that they
wanted $30 more to "fix" the county at
torney. Mr. Tucker denied that he had
ever had any conversation- with tho pris
oner along those lines and the prisoner
admitted Tucker had made no such propo
sition. Tucker produced affidavits from the
county commissioners and othera that
Archer was a bad man and people were
afraid to attend picnics because Archer
was always on hand to start a rough
house. Ten members of the Jury signed
the petition for a pardon, but Tucker said
this was not an Indication that Archer
should be released. He said th. whole
affair was an effort to get Archer out of
the prison so he could testify to save
another man from getting in,

'I had not th. slightest Idea that eoffe.

for th. last ten years until I quit Its use
and took up Post um Food Coffee. I nevsr
had a natural movement of the bowels
during a number of years, because of
chronic constipation, and I waa continually
taking medicine.
"Very frequently Just after breakfast a
dlssiness would come on, which would
force me to lie down and remain absolutely
quiet until relief came. I was also the
victim of sever, headaches and miserable
all the time. Finally It occurred to me
that coffee was the real cause of my
trouble.
'I therefore procured a package cf Pos

place of coffee. At first I did not like It,
but I soon discovered that I had not made
It properly. When It Is boiled long enough
It has a delicious Java taste, a beautiful
deep lick kr.wa color and altogether It
makes a charming beverage.
"I soon grew very fond of it; In fact I
liked It belter than I did th. old coffee.
My health improved and this gradually In
creased. Th. bowels resumed their natural
functions and the old dixzy feeling disap

This happy change In health flxad my
mind permanently and forever never, under

that people do not realise the cause of
their troublee. They go on year after
year just as I had In drugging themselves
with something that holds them la a con
