Cklcsgo. August 7.—A opeclal to th« Tribune from San Francisco Bays: Bartlett Tripp and Baron Sternberg, the America a and Oerman members of the Samoan eo*mn:*»loo. who arrived in this dty Sunday on the United States steamer Badger. wtU leave for Washington tonight, Oft board the Badger are 3,600 rifles which the commissioners took' from the followers of Mataafa and Malletoa Tanus. la speaking about these arms. Mr. Tripp said: •'The commissioners, on their arrival at Apia, May 13 last, saw at once that the natives would have to be disarmed. If peace was to be restored and the commission placed in a position to accomplish anything definite. All the while people on the Islands, Including the naval officials and the missionaries, thought disarmament was impossible The commissioners made up their minda to have It done. Mataafa and his chiefs were sounded on the subject. They were told that the MaUeto Tanus people would be compelled to give up their arms, if they did so. Negotiations were carried on quietly, but in a determined manner. ‘ The Mataafa people wanted to know If they would receive pay for their guns. We had no power to reimburse them. We promised, however, that, after peace was established, and we returned home, that they should be compensa ted for their arms or the latter would be restored to them. "On May «l last the Mataafa.people surrendered to us two hundred guns. General surprise was expressed at their action. The Mslletoa Tanus faction a day later surrendered their arms, the Ir.ttor Including seven hundred rifles from the English man-of-war at Apia. The Mataafa people soon came in with the remainder of their weapons. The commissioners wOI recommend that the natives be paid for the guns. "Now as to the form of Toveniment the commissioners have decided upon lor the Bamoan Islands, we think we have accomplished something definite. I can not talk about what we have agreed uiwi Only throe copies of the proposed form of government are In existence. These are In the posseasion of the three commie sioners and are Intended for the respective governments. While In a general *vey some of the features of this proposed form of government are known, it is not true that the document has been given out for publication here or anywhere else. The Proposed Government. "The proposed government provides for a white man aa administrator of the Island—the governor-general. In other words. He will take the place of a Bamoan king. Much of the trouble In the lalanda has been due to the fact that the nkttves have always had an elective Instead of a hereditary king. The natives realise that fact themselves. Malletoa having resigned as king, that troublesome proposition Is now at nn end. By naving a white administrator in supreme control. It is the hope of the commission that peace will be permanent In the Islands. Thera will also bo consular representatives. but their authority will be more curtailed than at present. The natives will have local self-government. The Idea of the commissioners is to let the natives govern themselves as far as pos-

sible.

"We believe that the government we have recommended meets with general approval or: tg* ;)art of the natives. The three drafts or coplea we have are signed by thirteen Mataafa chiefs and a like number of Malletoa head men. Before drafting the scheme we visited every district and island save Manna. Borne Chiefs from the latter island were seen. In all the districts meetings were held,

tained In this way. Finally a big council! was held. On that occasion 4&» chiefs met us. There was an equal number from the Mataafa and Malletoa factions It was a unique and picturesque gathering. "Lautl, a Mataafa chief, read a long statement, embodying his views as to a form of government. It contained many points we had already decided upon. This coincidence was not strange, because of the fact that we had previously exchanged views with the natives as to what was beet for them. It was the day following this meeting that twenty-six chiefs, thhteen from each faction, signed our three drafts of the proposed government. Tk* plan will have to be ratified by the three governments before it Is en*°^Ch!ef Lautl is a fine orator. He would rank as aa orator In any country. Chief Fail, of the Malletoa following is also an able speaker. Chiefs Letnanu and H ou Can also can he placed in the same category.

"When Chief Lemanu bade us good-by he remarked: ‘You are not going back home to make fools of yourselves.* He explained |h!i somewhat singular remark >, y saytb*: *Iou will tell your people that you made peace at Samoa. We do not want to disappoint you. We will keep-our word with you. We sill keep peace.* Chief Lemanu belongs to the Mataafa follow-

ing."

Mr. Tripp admitted thht Chief Juatico Chambers had returned to this country with lbs Intention of mignlng. He denied that there had been any friction between Justice Chambers and the commission, and insisted that all along there has been the utmost good feeling. He did not know at what ttroe Chambers would resign, nor did he know what effect the resignation would

have.

"Yes,” Commissioner Tripp went on.

Considerable damage resulted from the bombardment, and claims aggregating *500.000 are being prepared. The commissioners had no author-

O. and the Hon. S. E. Nicholson, of Kokomo. The outline embraces the following suggestions, which will be forwarded to the several Yearly Meetings for approval: "New Yearly Meetings—The General Conference shall have the power to establish new Yearly Meetings when advUable so to do. A committee of ten. appointed by the conference far this purpose. shall have this duty to perform. “Philanthropy — A committee of one, from each Yearly Meeting shall aid Friends anywhere, who. from exceptional cause*, need special assistance, and shall partldpat* with other Christians in relieving distress resulting from unusual

When the needs of these fields are greater than the Yearly Meeting can attend to, the general committee may give assistance with funds collected or donated for that purpose- When the erection of public buildings In such fields has become advisable, the general committee shall solicit funds for such purpose, and give direction relative to the erection of such buildings.

The secretary of the board shall collect information about the needs of the mission fields; learn the best means of supplying them; obtain information about mission work being done by the Yearly Meetings; ascertain the qualifications and preferences of those offering themselves as missionaries; collect and publish statistics concerning all foreign mission work of Friends, and impart such ihfjrmatlon as may aid mission work.” Centralixatton Ike Idea. Thirteen Yearly Meeting* are embraced within the Jurisdiction of the General Cenference, each with a membership of nearly 25,000, and not dependent rn the General Conference save In a limited sense, as each Yearly Meeting legislates for itself, and enforces its own discipline. The failure of concerted action, as a consequence, has Impressed Itself upon the meetings, and It has been a great hindrance to growth, ns compared with other denominations who work through a common center. The object of the committee, as expressed in the outline, Is to bring about a closer compact, and thus Increase the effectiveneas jf the dencmInatlon through centralization, and so It Is that at the next meeting of the General Conference the new arrangement will be set firmly on its feet. It means very much to the denomination of Friends, and in some respects It is a radical, departure from old-established customs. The committee has also prepared changes of discipline, which will be distributed for approval. These changes will be first considered by the coming assembly of the Indiana Yearly Meetlng.and its action will be forwarded to the other Yearly Meetings. until It has made the circuit.

A Mother Aaxioan to Reach Her Dying Child Stop* a Train.

Chicago, August 7.—The anguish of the mother of a dying child on the one hand and the prospect of the loss of thousands of dollars, the inconveniencing of hundreds of passengers, and the delaying of the United States mails was the dilemma which confronted officials of the Chicago & Northwestern railway yesterday. Cold-hearted commercialism, however, was placed before the heart-broken appeals of the woman, but the mother's desperation finally triumphed, and, after risking her life, she was enabled to reach the bedside of her child. Shortly after 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon Station Agent Lang, who has charge of the Northwestern depot at Evanston, noticed a man and a woman, persons of apparent refinement, pacing nervously up and down the long platform and occasionally turning tearful faces In the direction of the city. Finally the man approached Lang and Inquired the time of the arrival of the fast mall train from Chicago. Upon being Informed that the train never stopped under any circumstances, at Evanston, the look of agony on the man’s face Increased, and his companion -Tung her hands. The station agent was beaeeched to flag the train. In humanity's name, as the man and woman, who said they were Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Allen, of Kenosha, had been called to the bedside of their child, who was dying at home. Upon being Informed that it was out of the question to flag the train; that It had been tried before on several occasions without avail, fer the reason that It mounted a grade upon Its approach to Evanston, and it* stoppage meant a loss of a quarter of an hour and thousands of dollars to the railroad on account of missing connections In the north, the woman became frantic. The next train by which they could hope to reach Kenosha passed through four hours later. With bowed head Allen stood leaning against the station. He failed to notice the movements of his wife, but was brought from his dazed condition in a few moment by ti rumble and roar and the deafening screech of a-whlstle,mingled with the hurried clung of an engine bell. Looking toward the north end of the platform, Allen was horrified to see his wife standing In the path of the engine, waving above her disheveled head her red-Uned golf cab®. Allen turned away his face In horror. The brakes under the heavy train of coaches rasped, and when he looked again. Instead of seeing his wife’s mangled form beside the roadbed, he saw her, still olutchlng her cape, fainting In the arms of a blue-jacketed and grimy engineer. The work of sympathetic women soon brought Mrs. Allen to her senses. In reply to Engineer Mernard’s hurried question as to why she had stopped the train, she gasped: "My child is dying in Kenosha. I must get on the train, rWell, ^et aboard,” said the big «n-

ried back to their seats, assisting Mrs. Allen to a comfortable place in the chair car. The engine bell clanged, the fireman bent his back to his task of shoveling double quantities of coal under the boilers. Engineer Mernard gave a few extra twists to nls apparatus, and the 3 o'clock Green Bay express sped northward at a rate of speed seldom equaled on that run. THEIR TAILS GONE.

Forty Horses Mntllateii by a Night Watchman.

Chicago, August 7.—Forty horses belonging to W. M. Matshall, liveryman, at 1142 Emerald avenue, were practically ruined Friday night by sonr e peroan who entered the stalls after midnight .tod lct>polled each horae of its tall. The hairs wore pulled out by the roots and each animal was left with a mere stub. Thirtyeight of the horses were purchased for the Government, and were intended for the use of United States cavalrymen In the Philippines. Two of the animals were coach horses belonging to Mr. Marshall, and before they were despoiled were valued at $1.4uo. Now they would not sell for • nyihing approaching that price If placed

on the market.

The police arrested John Miller, a watchman employed by Marshall to take care of the premises at night. Miller made a full etatemept, and said he had pulled out the animals' tails. He claimed he sold the hair for 30 cents a pound aa-*

that he disposed of thirty-two pounds to 'lose. When asked why he had done l,*00 worth of damage In order to ge

BATTERIES FOR WARSB1PS

PLANS TO PLACE HEAVY GINS 031 NEW VESSELS.

Saggeslloaa of Admiral O’Neil for the Gans and Armor of the New Battleship* Georgia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

New York, August 7.--A special to the Herald from Washington says; Ine heaviest batteries yet placed on any naval velsel in the world will be carried by the Georgia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the new battleships authorized by the last Congress, If the suggestions of Rear-Admiral O’Neil, chief of tho bureau of ordnance, are adopted. These ships are to have gn approximate displacement of 13,500 tons each, and speed and coal capacity entitling them to be classed almost as armored cruisers. By lightening the armor belt, made possible by the greatly Increased resistance power of the latest armor. Rear-Admiral O'Neil is enabled to plan much heavier batteries. He has prepared five separate plans for the new ships. Each provides for the same number of guns of each caliber in the secondary batteries and the same general arrangement, but modified by differences In the main batteries. In the secondary battery each vessel is to carry sixteen 3-lnch guns, thirty caliber in length, sixteen three-pounders, four automatic orie-pounders. six single-shot one-pounders, ten machine guns and two field guns. The Main Batteries. In the main batteries one plan contemplates four 12-inch guns of forty caliber. four 8-lnch guns of forty-five ca.iber and twelve 6-inch guns of fifty caliber. The 12-lnch guns are to be mounted In barbette turrets fore and aft of the superstructure, two 8-inch guns in a barbette turret on each beam, and the 6-lnch guns in broadside, so as to give the largest possible arc of fire. This arrangement would give each ship a broadside battery on each side of four 12- inch guns, two 8-inch and six 6inch guns, in addition to the large number of secondary battery- guns that would be brought to bear on each side. The guns of the main battery that could be brought to bear directly fore or aft would be two 13- inch. four 8-inch and two 6inch, in addition to numerous secondarybattery guns. The second plan differs from the first in that it provides for eight 8-inch guns, arranged in four barbette turrets, two on each side. There are two other plans identical with this, except that one proposes to substitute four 10-inch guns for the 12lnch, and the other proposes to substitute two 10-inch and two 12-inch for the four 12-lnch guns. In these plans the fore and aft fire is the same as in the first P 1 ** 1 - but the b.-oadslde fire is increased by two 8-inch guns. „ , , Another plan differs in having no 8-Inch guns and Increasing the number of 6-inch to sixteen, eight firing on each broadside, four directdly forward and two directly m f j The plan that will probably meet with most favor if It is found to be practicable to carry it within the limit of weights ultimately asslgped to the battery, is that, of the four 12-inch guns and eight 8-inch. The 8-lnch gun is, of course, greatly favored by navy men, and proved Its value In the Spanish war. It can be fired with rapidity and accuracy, and Is very destructive against light or even medium weight armor. If It comes to a question of reducing a number of 8-inch guns or reducing the heaviest guns from 12-inch to 10-inch, many officers would advocate the reduction In the size of part or all Che heaviest guns. This plan Is the more likely to be adopted because the new 10-lncb guns, forty calibers or length, will have as great, penetrating power as the 12-inch guns of the type now in service on the Iowa. The saving in weight of guns and ammunition is very great if the 30-inch guns are used, and the dimensions of the turrets being less for the 10-inch guns, there is also a material saving In the weight of armor. The Armor. Admiral O'Neil’s suggestions contemplate the use of armor aa ligat as Is consistent with good practice. The water-line belt, to extend the entire length of the ship, is to bo nine inches thick along the vital portions, and will taper to four inches fore and aft of the main barbettes. Diagonal armor nine Inches thick is to run from the side armor to the main barbettes. The armor Is to be much more generally distributed, and the smaller guns of both the main and secondary batteries are to have much better protection than In any battleships previously designed. A novel feature for the American navy is a proposition to Isolate the six -inca guns In separate casements, so that a burning shell might not put several guns ou: of action. Admiral O’Neil’s suggestions aro accompanied by tables, comparing the efficiency of each of the proposed battery plans with the batteries of the battlesnlps alreaoy built and in course of cons.-uction for the American navy. The companion Is in favor of the proposed plan In every Instance. In addition to their guns it Is planned to give each vessel two under-water torpedotubes. ANTI EXPANSION ADDRESS

If Too Want the Beat la* 1st on Stosm*' Electric i’a*t# It kills rsts, reacbca, bug*. Druggim*. grocer*. Jic.

Chicago, August 7.—At a largely attended meeting of the Anti-Imperialistic League In this dty Saturday night Prof. H. Laurence Laughiln. of Chicago University, waa the principal speaker. Addresses were made by Profs. A. H. Tolman and Paul Shorey, of Chicago University ; Frank H. Scott and Sigmund Zeisler. Professor Laughiln said, In part: "Let us discuss. In brief, the proposition to annex the Philippines and give them a territorial government like that of Alaska. If we refuse Independence to the Filipino, to give a tcrrltiria! government is then, in truth, the only and the inevitable policy consistent with our republican forms of government. But what does that mean? Folly-blind, ur.illumlr.ed folly. When we added the negroes to our electorate, we created a grave problem which we have not yet solved. But to go on. In addition, to give a territorial government to Porto Ricans and to 10,000,OOU of Malays and other races (In all stages of civilization) and put them in line for statehood, is a proposition too appalling for any lover of his country to contemplate lor a moment. Think of our splendid country Inextricably tangled In the politics of island* 7,000 mile* away! Multiply the difficulties of Ireland and England a thousand times over and you will then but faintly picture the situation created by the possession of Malay states and territories. The imagination of man Is not able to conceive It all. Then why not. In all common sense, remember that God has intrusted to us, as a light to be kept burning for the oppressed throughout the world, the greatest experiment of free government known to the human race, and let us not cast away this sacred trust for a mess of pottage In the Philippine islands. ■•Then we come to the alternative of imperialism, pure and simple. But they tell ua we have not adopted imperialism; that Congress has not yet acted on that problem. But since conquest is in actual progress, why has not Congress been called to decide upon our policy? Tho present policy of the United States to-day in Us acts and words could not be more clearly imperialistic than it Is. Let us strip ail disguises aside. What is the crux of the present situation in the Philippines? Why do we not grant Independence to the Filipinos under our protection (as we have to the Cubans)? The moment that is done, the war will end. The country will be extricated from all its embarrassments and our brave army will be saved from decimating disease in a deadly climate. Now 1 wish, in ail kindness of heart and with successful persuasion. we might preach that policy to the White House and ask In the name of a Christian nation for Us adoption. • • •

into full palgn. It is trying to escape the real issue, as Lincoln expressed It, 'by fixing the public gage upon the exceeding brightness of military glory—that attractive rainbow that rises In showers of blood '. If our deliberate purpose is expansion, why should we have selected the

deadliest climate In the world, why have selected a race of T&gala, why have we selected a group of Wands 7.000 miles away, certain to involve us in the intrigues of a devious diplomacy, parceling out the remains of China? We all recognise that this great Philippine war. costing untold lives and treasure, is the result of accident, and not of far-seeing statesmanship. We are there, even when every one knows It Is a mistake: when every one. from the top down, would be only too glad to find a way out. solely because false pride and unmanly stupidity keeps up the sacrifice of our soldiers. Applies to Mexico and Canada. “If we really desire expansion, then every argument in favor of taking the Philippines applies with much more strength to taking Canada and Mexico. But to take Canada would mean war with Great Britain. So ho! Then we took the Philippines, because they were the easiest to get, the weakest in defense. In other words, we have returned to the predatory policy of the middle ages, which we used in taking territory in the Mexican war, and which history has recorded to our everlasting shame and disgrace. Look at it In any way wc please, we are in the Philippines for the lowest arid basest of motives. Grant that under international law of monarchical nations we have a legal right to be there. Is that any reason for our violation of every maxim of common sense and morals? Why sink forever hundreds of millions of dollars in the Philippines, when we know that the people can. never in centuries be assimilated into an Anglo-Saxon state; that the land can never be colonized by the white race successfully? • • • “The expansion policy is but another and immoral expression of the spoils system. It provides a district so far away that, as Secretary Gage said in substance of Alaska, it is too remote to be able to apply civil service rules there. It provides new positions for politicians and their retainers. So many more lieutenants, so many more commissions to dangle before the workers on the eve of another election. The ’backward’ step In civil service reform was only a part of the same work, yielding of the principles of a great party to the wolf and the hawk ir« politics. I object to expansion, because It appeals to the lowest motives of conquest and commercial gain, as against our duty to liberty and free government; I object to it, because it assumes that our people have no principles as against the base gains of trade and office, and that Americans are really cruel, despotic and indifferent to a race fighting for liberty. When, in truth, no nation was ever more ready to help a struggling people against a despotic conqueror. Although we have the same international rights In the Philippines which Russia or Germany might exercise If they were in our place, we could not as a republic do what would be permitted to imperial Russia or Germany. • • * “If the war were stopped because we are in error, would it affect the political prospects of certain persons? Let eacn one draw his own conclusions as to why the war is continued. If the policy !n the Philippines U being settled largely by its Influences on the political fortunes of any set of politicians, then they shoo'd have no mercy. Let us apply a simple test. If the war were stopped, "would it in any way weaken the force of the great principles of Washington and Lincoln? Of course not. We are here to-night to strive for great principles, not for any personal fortune: to protect the free institutions of our beiovea country. Irrespective of the effect of our words on the future of any polltMaxis or of any aspirant for office. It is in this spirit wo demand ‘unconditional surrender’ to tho forces of liberty and justice.” Referring to the censorship, the speaker said: "We object to the attempts at suppression of free speech and free discussion. The essence of all this censorship of news to aid from Manila, this organized effort of the parties in quest to abuse those who /It giVfstlniF TWViiF’V thft

_ involved in this war. they would not give hearty support to this policy of conquest. For we may talk about sovereignty and carrving civilization to the East until we are red in the face, but the horrid fact confronts us that we are shooUng down men whose only crime is that they are fighting for their Uberty. We can not doubt that fact.” I BONES OF A MASTODON. A Valuable Find In a Muelc Bed by an Arcbaelogiat.

(Special to The Indianapolis News.] Winamac, Ind., August 7.—The fossil remains of a mastodon, suposed to be from the palaezoic age—the epoch of first animal life—were uncovered on a farm near Bass lake, near, here, last week, under the direction of Major S. f L. McFadtn, of Logansport, historian, soldier and archaeologist. The measurements of the chief parts show the following results: Skull. 2 feet 6 Inches In hlght; length o< upper Jaw, 3 feet 9 Inches; width of upper Jaw, 2 feet 4 Inches; between the eyes, 2 feet; depth of forehead, 1 foot 6 inches; eye holes, 7 inches In diameter; ear holes, 18 inches. There are eight teeth in the skull, ail in the best condition. The back teeth of the lower jaw measures 7 inches in length on the surface and 4 inches in width. The lower Jaw was placed In position and found to measure correspondingly large with the upper Jaw,' making a perfect skull. The skull weighs 600 pounds. One of the fore legs, including the thigh bone, measures 7 feet 1 inch, and weighs, it Is judged, 150 pounds. Twenty-six riba have been discovered, the largest measuring 3 feet/ 10 inches in length and 2 inches wide In center. Sections of the spine have been unearthed, the largest measuring 10 inches in width and 16 inches in length. Other bones and fragments, numbering a score and more, are Included in the collection. Among them is a toe bone measuring 6% Inches by 4V4. From the deep black vein of muck from which the bones were exhumed It is conjectured that It was once the bed of a lake into which the animal waded beyond Its depth and failed to extricate himself. It required five men to lift the upper Jaw of the skull out of the trench. The lower Jaw was 5% feet below the top of the ground, and some three feet distant from the upper jaw. Major McFadin is overjoyed because of his valuable "find,” and he will have the bores placed on exhibition at Logansport. The discovery is a valuable one, and it will excite the attention of scientists the world over. ... a Electricity (or the Mind. London, August 7.—Dr. Remond, the French scientist, announces a discovery by which the mental process of youth can be quickened and accelerated by an application of electricity. Remond asserts that the cultivation of the mental powers can be pushed to a far higher point by the application of an electric current than by any art of the crammer. The cerebellum which has been prepared bv a course of electric shocks snows, he asserts, an immense superiority in the assimilation of learning to one in a natural state. — o-- ■ For Jewish Colonisation. London, August 7.—According to a dispatch to the Dally Mail from Herjin, at a meeting of prominent Hebref^-held there yesterday to discuss the plan proposed by American Hebrews to buy the Island of Cyprus, in the Mediterranean, for Jewish colonization, it was decided to collect further Information before proceeding In the matter.

[Special Correspondence Indianapolis Neva.] Freezeout Mountain, Wyo., August 3.— The Union Pacific fossil field geological expedition spent two days at Rock creek camp, some forty miles northwest of Laramie. While camped beside this beautiful mountain stream the surrounding hills were scoured and many excellent fossil specimens were collected. These fossils were from the Ft. ' Pierre and Fon Hills horizons, and the most interesting specimens were a Plesiosaur vertebra, which had not hitherto been discovered In these regions; palm leaves, which must have been four or five feet in diameter, fossil leaves from a new bed and hitherto undescrlbed, and ammosites, gastropods, eclimoids and many other invertebrate types completed the list. One the 28th the camp at Rock creek was broken up and after a circuitous route the famous como dinosaur beds, where Professor Marsh collected a great many of the monster vertebrate remains were reached. Several finds were made here, although the field is one of the best known and most frequently worked. Dr. Hambach and party, of St. Louis, discovered the bones of a great dinosaur which was estimated to have been at least sixty feet long. The members of the party from William Jewell College, Missouri, also found some valuable bones, and Gustavus Adolphus College, b t . Peter. Minn., will be the richer by a huge saurian fern- r six feet in length. Failed to Dig a Trench. A heavy rain-storm while at this place caused much discomfort to many of the party, who relying on the arid climate of Wyoming, had failed to dig a trench around their tents, which consequently j were flooded. To complete the discomfort of damn bedding and muddy tent floors the temperature fell to 40 degrees or lower. On leaving the Como lake region the party went via Medicine Bow, a railway station on the Union Pacific railroad, to the Freezeout mountain, where sjme of the most wonderful dinosaur beds of the West are located. In this region the American Museum, the University of Wyoming, the Field Columbian Museum and the Kansas State University have parties excavating the remains of the great saurians, which perished in the Jurassia seas end were imbedded in the muddy bottom and preserved. Some of the bones are strong, others are decayed and so fragile as to require the most careful attention while being excavated. The topography of the Freezeout mountain is exceedingly striking and beautiful, and so clearly shown to the eye because of the absence of trees and other vegetation that the whole structure may be made out from a single bird's-eye view. Origin of the Name. The peculiar name given to these mountains or hills comes no doubt from a peculiar find made by the proprietor of the great "T. B.” ranch, located in these mountains, and an interesting bit of unwritten history is connected therewith. The story is that early In the eighties the Irabing Bros., owners of the “T. E.” tanch, found ip one of the isolated rav'ne* of these meuntains some twenty-five or thirty flintlock rifles and some twenty or Store human skulls. Whether the skulls were of Indians or white men seems not to have been made out. The explanation seems to be the snowing in and freezing of a party of explorers, trappers or Indians, hence the name Freezeout mountains. \t Is In this district that the great dinsaur, estimated at one hundred or more feet in length and twenty or twenty-tivj feet In hlght, is being excavated. The gigantic tones of th!s great animal are wonderful, and It surpasses the powers of the Imagination to conceive the original animal in life. The difficult work of mountain-climbing and ft asil-digglng Is varied In many ways. Some members of the party find pleasure In shooting at the coyote; others In attempting shots at tne numerous antelope now and then, seen quietly grazing or swiftly fleeing over the plains. The taxidermists of the party find many birds and some rattlesnakes upon which to exercise their art, while the numerous and exquisite flowers of the high mountain valleys attract the botaniats and plcnt cc-Hec tcrs. Hill Visit Other Beds. Borne members of the expedition left at the er:d of ten days while others remain fifteen, others twenty, and those who complete the whole round mapped out by director W. C. Knight will remain the full forty days. From the Freezeout mountains the scientists will visit various Interesting fossil beds, and will finally reach the canyon of the Platte, where a week or more will be spent in examining the Interesting formations of that region, which cover much of the paleozoic and mesozoic eras. Side trips will be made to the soda lakes, and many other points of special Interest. From the canyon of tho Platte the return trio will begin, and the expedition will

The woman who its her head in lion’s mouth, •eems the type of reckless women. But she isn’t. The

really reckless woman is the one who braves Nature day after day, by neglect of the health of the delicate womanly organs. “Crime and punishment blossom on one stem ” says Emerson. When the cycle of self-neglect is complete it includes the pains and sufferings which are the inevitable penalties inflicted by outraged Nature. The drain which today is counted an inconvenience, becomes in succeeding days a horrible and offensive stigma. The passing depression of an hour grows into a permanent melancholy. The timely use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will save young women from suffering, as it will cure those who through neglect have become martyrs after marriage. No woman who suffers with backache, pain in the side, bearing down pains, debilitating drains, ulceration or inflammation, sliould delay another day the use of “ Favorite Prescription.” Its use helps every woman and heals ninety-eight per cent, of all who give it a fair trial. It contains no opium, cocaine or other narcotic. “I was tempted to try your medicines after seeing the effect upon my mother," writes Mm. Flora Arn, of Dallas, Jacksoc Co., Mo. “At an early stage of married life I was greatly bothered with painful periods, also a troublesome drain which rendered me very weak and unfit for work of any kind. I became so thin there was nothing left of me but skin and bone. My husband became alarmed and got me a bottle of' Favorite Prescription.’ After he saw the wonderful effects of that one he got me two more, and after I used those up there was no more pain, and I began to gain in flesh very rapidly. I believe I weigh twice as much as I did then, and can do all of my work. I think I owe all praise to Dr. Pierce and his wonderful curative medicines.’’ Doctor Pierce’s Pellets are specially adapted to the needs of delicate women.
