Aid to Expositions
A reasonable amount of a
good thing ought to satisfy the
public spendthrift s and place-
hunter as it does the common
people. It is now proposed
that congress gives $1,000,0001 thirty-three persons had die
and then an additiontl $ 1,000; that there was not grave clothes
for each state and territory as Jind coffins enough iu tin
neighborhood to bi
the awful scourge. From Poor
Fork, I crossed the Cumber
land mountains into Wise and
Isle counties. Virginia, en
countering ivi the former such
a condition of horror that my
heart fi.lls when I begin to
write. At one place in Harlan
county I learned of an instance
where* live out of a family of
seven, the C'larks, living on
Poor Fork, succumbed to the
scourge; in another, where the
only living member of a family
of five was a babe not yet able
to prattle; iu another, where
the father and three children
had left a bereaved wife and
mother to mourn her sorrow
alone, and still inunother where
not one of a household of four
remained to prepetuate the
name. At Letcher, the county
cemetery has thirty-seven new
made mounds. In one neigh
borhood, not live miles square,
in that section, almost whole
families were swept away, and
iu many more death had taken
a majority. The deaths in
Letcher had been far above the
average of those in any other
county, save Wise county, Va.,
in which the disease had made
a wider swath than in any 1
have visited. They number as
nearly as the best authorities
could estimate, 200, and the
number of casaes have exceeded
that fully three-fold. It was
not until 1 crossed into Virginia
that the most pitiful stories
reached my ears. Here, I was
told, near the little town of Im-
boden, in a graveyard of sixty
three new graves', twenty-nine
out of the Baker family had
died. I was told that in one day
ied;
state and territory as
aid to another exposition to be
hide at Louisville. We say
let this thing stop. We are
called on to provide means for
expositions in Europe, and all J ,'l^n ('an. . . .

from yevcral streams on which
the plague has raged, and his
researches will doubtless result .

ment Chemist says:
Skeleton Unearthed,
While out hunting yesterday
on Turtle creek, some four
miles north of the city, Mr. Jno.
W. Delaney discovered a hu-
man skeleton, evidently that of
a person who had died in the
Srime of life, judging from the
ssures of the skull which were
not well knit. He shot a quail,
which fell in a lot of under-
brush. The dog, after retriev-
i ing the game, began scratching,
land unearthed the skull
I bones ot the skeleton. The
: place where if was found was
j in a secluded spot, where no
'one who had (tied a natural
1 death would likely be buried,
t He brought the skull home with
i him.—Dallas Herald.

Omaha, Neb., Nov.2b.-Kdi
tor Smith of the Aiusworth Neb.,
News arrived here yesterday,
bringing with him interesting
specimens of petrified prairie
does, snakes and owls to be
added to the Nebraska exhibit
at New Orleans. The petrifac-
tions have the appearance of be
ing made of heavy yellowish
clay, but are undeniably genu
inc. The country about A ins
worth has long been noted I'or
curious fossils and petrifae
tions. It borders on tlie "bad
lands" of Dakota, and while not
so much of n desert, has many of
the same features. Mr. Smith's j
story about the finding of his j
specimens reads like a I airy
tale, lie says thai some weeks
ago a party of hunters struck a
hitherto unexplored canyon
near Plum creek, about twelve
miles northwest of .\i:i>woith.
As tin*) rode into it they saw a j
prairie dog village, at the |
mouth of each of tli** mounds j
was one of the little auiuiais sit 1
ting on its hauuehea, with paws
folded ticrofs the breast, in a j
perfectU natural manner. Con-j
trnry to the usual tutsKun, tin-
dogs did not dive into their,
houses at the approach of the
strange visitors. To tin- great
surprise of the latter they re
luauied motionless, luvestiga
lion showed that every one ol ,
them was "stone" dead. The;
whole village of (logs hill I been 1
killed ai 1 lie same moment bs
some unknown power, evident
ly ag'-s igo. ami then petritied. 1
Stranger si ill, the hunters found
scattered among the dogs ami
iu the same condition the owls
and snakes which are known to
share their homes. Were it
not for the specimens brought
in by Mr. Smith and the fact
that In* is known to be a relia-
ble man, the story would be
put down as a Munchausen like
lie. There are mail} theories
as to the entire destruction of
