Bellefonte, Pa., November 14, 1924. GIVIL WAR RAID RELIGY ARE DUG UP IN KANSAS Workmen Uncover Cellar of Lawrence ville Saloon Looted by Bushwhackers. Lawrence, Kans.—Relics of the Quantrell raid in Lawrence on August 21, 1863, when 150 men of the town were massacred and the city pillaged and burned, were unearthed when ex- cayations were made recently for the new building of the Lawrence Journal World. Workmen removed from their dig- gings an assortment of liquor bottles, metal bar fixtures and glassware, some of the wreckage bearing the imprint of a Leavenworth distiller of 57 years ago. Investigation showed that the exca- vation had invaded the filled-in cellar of a saloon, run by Joseph Brechtel bauer at the time of the raid. Brechtelbauer fled from the saloon when the guerrilla band dashed into town, but he was caught with four other Lawrence citizens, and Quan- trell’s men shot them all to death. As Brechtelbauer took flight, he tossed a bag of money into a rain bar- rel, whence members of his family ls ter retrieved it, . The Quantrell raid at Lawrence was the most audacious and the most dis- astrous of a series of expeditions the southern chief headed. Riding Into the sleeping town at day- break, the invading band took the citi- zen: completely by surprise, and al- most before the defenders could re- cover from their daze more than 100 men were lying, dead or wounded and mangled, in the streets. Shops were pillaged amd then burned. When Quantrell and his followers finally disappeared, about 9 a. m., they ranished as quickly as they had come. Paradise for Bears Found in Lost Valley Etna Mills, Calif.—Reports crediting strange things to a “lost valley” in the Siskiyou mountains led Dr. Paul Cdd- man, Dr. Warner Hoyt and Harvey Miller of Berkeley, to explore the re- glon. They found the valley a beautiful little plain, almost impenetrable, but there was nothing more startling than the number and size of the bear tracks. The three men went by motor as far as they could, then took horses into the wild and rugged Caribou and Sawtooth ranges. The hidden valley lies be- tween the headwaters of the Trinity and Salmon rivers. Some distance be- fore reaching it they had to leave their horses and make thelr way on foot. There was no trail into the valley, which is protected by sheer peaks at the head of Thompson's creek. The explorers found a clear gemlike glacial lake at the upper end of the chasm, with a lush green meadow at the lower end. There was a multitude of the mud wallows sometimes called “bears’ bathtubs.” Snooks, Noted Horse, Bears 13th General Camp MeClellan, Ala.—Gen. Hugh A. Drum, deputy chief of staff of the War department at Washington, is the thirteenth general in the United States army to ride Snooks, noted Sixth cavalry horse, while on a tour of inspection of Camp McClellan. Its owner is Capt. Van Dyke Ochs. Snooks is twelve years of age and jays claim to a place in America’s Who's Whe for other achievements than that of bearing 13 generals. In his whole life history Snooks has never entered a horse show without bringing out a tangible distinction of some kind. He has won 49 ribbons and 13 cups. The following generals have had the honor of riding old Snooks: Persh- ing, Scott, Shanks, Holbrook, Harris, Hanbrook, Heimick, Erwin, Parker, King, Wells, Winans and Drum. Cologne Demolishes Old Walls for Sport Fields Cologne, Germany.—Some of the an- cient walls of Cologne, which date back to the days of the Romans, are to give way to modern sport fields which are provided for in the city's plans for expansion, as announced rve- cently by Dr. Marx Adenauer, chief burgomaster. A great sports stadium, built chiefly py men classed as among the “unem- ployed,” has already been completed, and B50 football fields, golf links and space for other games have been pro- vided for in the rearrangement of the districts en the edge of this ancient city, Preliminary steps have been taken é0 encircle Cologne with a great green strip some twenty-five miles in length and averaging flve-eighths of a mile in width. It is within this strip that space will be left for sports grounds of various kinds. Must Be Husky One .

MERE MALE’ IS NO JOKE IN SUMATRA “Weaker Sex” Not Even Form of Speech on Is- land, Says Professor. Chicago.—The Menengkabaus, a peo- ple who held off the Dutch colonizers for 200 years, who abstain from in- toxicating liquor, and whose women are more important than the men; and the Bataks, who have just emerged from cannibalism and who adhere to the death cult, were de- scribed as living on the same island by Prof. Fay-Cooper Cole of the Uni- versity of Chicago department of an thropolegy in a lecture on Sumatra. Living on an island a little smaller than California—Sumatra—the Me- ngngkabaus have a highly developed maternal form of government, Profes- sor Cole said. Under such a system the husband has no rights over his children who inherit through their mothers. All weddings are manipu- lated by the bride or the bride's fam- ily and the dowry is only $2.40, all that the husband is considered worth Equal Suffrage. Men and women have equal suffrage rights. To such an extent is the gov- ernment based on equality that for 200 years the Menengkabaus refused to recognize the Dutch as overlords in the East Indies. In another part of the island are the Bataks who still retain vestiges of cannibalism. “Although cannibalism was declared extinct 15 years ago by the Dutch,” Professor Cole stated, “there are still certain Bataks who admit that a Chi- naman tastes much better than a Batak. In one place a tablet has been erected to some missionaries who were eaten about a half century ago Worship Dead Chiefs. “The Bataks worship the dead chiefs by means of the death cult. They have built stone coffins with images carved upon them, and in which are placed the bodies of the most promi- nent chiefs. In smaller urns the skulls of ‘the lesser lights are depos- ited. These are kept until the annual festivities when the bones are re- moved, washed and buried; this is a sign that the spirits have passed inte the Batak heaven.” Professor Cole said that he thought Sumatra, located south of Singapore, was an island of the future, and that it would some day rival Java, which is at present open to tourists and considered to have some of the most beautiful country in the world. Ac- cording to Doctor Cole the scenery of Sumatra is even more beautiful than that of Java. Sioux Indians May Read Bible History Cincinnati—An innovation in the printing of biblical history in the lan- | guage of Indians, from the Teton Sioux tribe of the Pine Ridge reserva- tion of South Dakota, has made its ap- pearance in Cincinnati. The work, which is the fruit oi much painstaking and self-denying work on the part of its author, Rev. Eugene Buechel, 8. J., who is stationed at St. Francis, S. D., came from the presses here with the distinction of being the first time that a history of the Bible has been translated into an Indian language. “Wowapl Wakan,” is the name or the new book and this turned into the English language means “Bible His- tory.” Latin characters constitute the words, forming phonetically the lan- guage of the Teton Sioux. About 3,000 copies of the work have been printed and are ready for distri- bution among the Sioux. Veteran Has Rare Coin Crofton, Neb.—All who are contend ing in the coin contest in northeast Nebraska have been eliminated to date by Lloyd West of this place, who has an old English coin dating back to the time of Queen Elizabeth. Mr. West obtained the coin, dated 1569, during the World war when he served as a telephone lineman with the headquar- | ters department of the Second Field Artillery brigade in the famous Sec ond American division.

Sour pickles and the many modern food inventions are playing havoc with the average American stomach, said Paul O. Sansom, a food specialist of Los Angeles, who addressed the Kiwanis club, Philadelphia, in the Bellevue-Stratford, recently. He ad- ded that at least 65 per cent. of the American people were suffering from some form of stomach trouble. . Quoting statistics from medical journals, he said that cancer would exact a toll of more thaan 200,000 this year and that the disease was increas- ing at the rate of 2% per cent. yearly. “Americans of today,” he said, “do not know what and how to eat. They fill their stomach with modern food inventions that are not suitable for cats and dogs and yet they take the greatest pains with their motor cars in order to get the highest amount of efficiency from them. “Sour pickles are nothing but spoil- ed cucumbers, while many other food combinations are little short of slow poison. Virtually every person par- takes of some form of fruit as the opening course at breakfast and then follows with starchy foods. That is not right. The fruit should come last, because it has been demonstrated that starch poured on top of acid will not mix. “Certain food combinations can be readily likened to the fresh made mash of the bootlegger. The result is a form of intoxication, but the person i965 ok realize that it is intoxica- ion. Makes Him Homesick. “Shut the door,” yelled the rough man. “Where were you raised—in a barn?” The man addressed complied but the ' speaker, looking at him a moment lat- er observed that he was in tears. Going over to the victim he apologiz- ed. “Oh, come,” he said soothingly, “you shouldn’t take it to heart be- cause I asked if you were raised in a barn.” “That’s it, that’s it, sobbed the oth- er man. “I was raised in a barn and it makes me homesick every time I hear an ass bray.” Why Women Use Glycerine Mixture Women appreciate the quick action of simple glycerine, buckthorn bark, etc., as mixed in Adlerika.

We were glad to have the issue squarely presented. We counted on the intelligence and patriotism of millions of voters who, in time of danger, cease to be partisans.
