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.

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.
Snake Sees Sights
Detroit, Mich.—A snake, five fee.
long, crawled from behind a wall at
the corner of Woodward and Kenil-
worth avenues and made its way calm-
ly across the sidewalk. The few who
saw it either bolted hurriedly or stayed
at a safe distance to gaze In wonder.
Finally, a student from Northern high
school killed the snake, carrying it
back to the school.

FOOD SPECIALIST WARNS
AGAINST SOUR PICKLES.
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. Most medi-
cines act only on lower bowel but Ad-
lerika acts on BOTH upper and lower
bowel, and removes all gasses and
poisons.

The Election
} E HAVE NEVER FOUND that the difference be-
tween the two great political parties was marked
ene
f[{enough to seriously effect business.
We have seen severe
#¥ panics and good and bad times under both administrations.
This year a third party presented new and radical
issues.
Socialism, government ownership and operation,
changes in the fundamental law ultimately leading to the
destruction of accumulated wealth and of credit, and the
loss of individual liberty—results that have always attended
such experiments.
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.
The result has justified our confidence.
