The total amount of taxable property

Craohlo Description at How the Work le
Carried on tn Chicaao.
A Chicago special says: At the Union
Stock Yards in this city the business of
killiog aud preparing meat for market has
certainly been reduced to a science, and at
no other place 1a slaughtering carried on
with snch rapidity and skill. Theordinary
methods of ilaughtering cattle and hog, by
farmers and small butchers is familiar to
every one who knows anything of country
or village life. In New England in the
olden time when the farmer had a “beef
critter” or a few bogi to kill, it wu consid
ered ttre best part of a day’s work, even
with the neighbors to help. Here it te
very different. From the commencement
of the day's business until its close an
endlers stream of hogs te kept pomfng np
an inclined plane to the door of the pack-
lug-house where they are wanted. As
they enter, men itand lu their midst with
ebaioe having spring clasps at their ends.
Tlu.ee are sprang upon one of tbe animal's
hind legs in a jiffy and belorethe hog
knows it a small stationery engine has
lifted him in the air and ha ta squealing
vigorously. Tbe upper end of the chain ia
attached to a pally which runs
overhead on an iron railway, and
carries the animal along towards the
scalding rat. On tbe way he puses
tbe sticker, who, with one lunge of a long,
sharp knife, ends bis life. Almost Instant
ly he 1a droppod from the chein directly
Into the •caldfog vat, whirled over a few
times, and then lifted by bidden meeh'n-
eoy at tbe bottom of the vat op to a mov
ing belt, which carries him toward the
scraping machine The principle and
mechanism ot this machine are almost
Identical with that of a corn aheller. Re
volving wheels with flexible scrapers are so
placed and buoobed as to hit the surface
of tbe bog on all sides at the eatne time
Ibe animal enters snout first and emeriti
as cleanly soraped of bristles u be could
be if the work were done slowly by band.
He te then attached to another pulley
and passed along to a skilled workman,
who with three ttokea of the knife, dliem-
bowels the animal. A stream of water
plays upon him for a few seconds and then
an elevated railway carries him oil toward
the cooling room. The time of thcwhole
process te considsrabiy less than four
minutes on an average each day and week
and month. The two men who are most
skilled and who receive tbe highest wages
for their Important bnt disagreeable work
are the sticker end else in bowel er.
Very rarely do either of these workmen
miss i heir aim or stroke. But It requires
a cool head aud a steady hand to do the
work quickly and well at the same
time. A steady procession of
twinging hogs, dead cr dying, te kept pus-
ing throagh Ibe room from morn till night
and no blockada ol freight is allowable.
Not a moment te lost, not a particle of
atrength wasted. There te no hoary lift-
ing of dead circuses from tbe beginning
to tha end of tbe process. Machinery
takes the place of human labor wherever
UUpostibie, and the work of nimble fin
gers and eharp knives rapidly complete the
job. It te a process which inflicts the leut
amount of pain aud suffering upon tbe
animal to be ilaughtered. and one which
never fallt to Impress the beholder with
so enduring sense of utonlshmenL

Croat Works Ereote.1 In Indiana by a
Vanished Race.
Indtscepolia News.
The more one Undies the works of Ibe
andeat mound builders the more he ie lost
in wonder the a race of people eo numer
ous and powerful, and appronchlng to near
to oivUlsstlou, could to completely havo
pused from the esrth that even the period
of their existence is the merest conjecture.
It te vs if they had existence before the
flood,and that the mighty etorm lmd swept
them suddenlv from tbe face of the esrth
in the midst of their power and glory. It
If eo, from whence came that other race
in number! and power great enough to
wotk this mighty devastation? A visit lo
these mnnnds and wailedenclosaresgtvea
one new fdeu of the age of this world of
ours and a deeper comprehension of what
la embraced in the word “Eternity."
Near tho town of Wlncheater te found
the remslna of a unique and beautifnl
work. This te In fact the largest walled
luiny scree, id snspe it is a tiorsllelo-
grani with curved angle.-. The sides have
a length of 1,380 and tne ends ot 1,200 feet.
There is an entrance at each end. That
•t the western end 1s defended by a
half-circle embankment which overlaps
the gateway. The wails In some places are
still nine feet high. The ditch, so prom
inent In all tbe other works, is absent
here. In all tbe other works the esrth
taken from the ditch made the embank
ment, bnt here the vut amount ot mate,
rial had to be carried from some other
place, thus greatly enlarging tbe labor of
construction. And when we remember
that the race had no beasts of burden or
of traction, we esn appreciate tho labor of
carrying earth to erect an embankment
nearly a mile in length and from ten to
twelve feet high and thirty feet broad at
the bate. This earth had to be curled in
buketa on the heads or ehontdera ot hu
man beings. On the north and east the
works ere protected by the blnfle ol White
river and Bugsr creek.
In tha centre 1s a mound 100 feet In di
ameter and ten feet high. This indosnre
lire In one of the oldest settled parts of the
State, and np to a comparatively ricect
period it wu Civered with heavy timber.
The eonn'-y fair ground now takes in a
greater portion or It, the mound being the
favorite reeort ol those who desire to wit
ness tbe speeding of horses. This work
shows a high order of military skill in Its
projectors, and itls lo be regretted that it
Is so rapidly being obliterated after having
survived eo many centuries. But few rel
ict have been found, and they of little Im
portance in solving tha hlstorr of this
u-yeterious race. In|sll the fortifications
examined the strongest points are the
north, tbns showing that the enemy
looked for wu expected to come from that
direction. This and tbe works near An
derson are the farthest north of any in the
State. Tbe upper portion of the State Is
dotted here and there by burial mounds,
bnt no fortifications exist. I believe the
one at Winch* ater in the most extensive
of any in the United States. That these
extensive works were atone time defended
by a large garrison can hardly be
doubted, yet little or no evidence ot such
- fact has been found. Around other
jorta tho remains of kitchen refuse and
bones of animals have been found, but
little of such material has ever been dis
covered here. 8ome few specimens of pot*
tery and urow heads hava boen turned up
by tbe plow, and one ortwofinespedmens
.1 plpev. Onr present American Indiana
are lovers of the pine, and in this they bnt
followed the letd of tha Mound Builders,
for everywhere in their works have been
found pipes, some of them plain, somo
rudely carved and some very highly orna
mented. This Is the beat work in this
State on the line before mentioned, bnt
there ue severel other works, the most
important of which Is the one known as
Fort Axatlen. This fortification has
oftener been deecritcd than any of
those In the State, yet it te worthy of an
other notice. It le situated on a plateau
on the east bank ot Wabash river, In SnUl-
van county. The plateau Is 170 feet above
the level of the river. The river beak 1s
of sandstone and very steep. l>n the eest,
and alto along the southwestern part ot
tha plateau, are deep and precipltonv
ravines. This plateau la a natural fortifi
cation. Its extreme length is abont 1,200
feet. At tbs northern end It te only abont
fifty feet wide, but it etretebee out to tbe
width of about 400 feet, when ft gradually
narrows again anti), at tbe lontLern end,
ft to only about 123 feet wide. The weak
places id this naturally strong position
have been etrengthened by uttfictal walla.
On tha eastern side, end about three hun
dred and fifty feet from the southern
end tba ravine makes an inden
ture of nearly one hundred feet. At this
point tea magnificent lining, aud the line
(• protected bye double wall. Several
othe r springe exist In this ravine, and tha
(Uritoo would have been abundantly eup-
plied with water. The entrance 1a at tho
senthem end, end te ten feet wide, snd the
walls are here about thirty feet wide. The

wldlb from ten to twenfy-five feet. Large
trees are now growing in some of these
pits. Several have been examined, and at

raised over the ordinary dead. Except la
one or two cases the monads contain but
two or three skeletons. From the poelUon
of tbe ekeletocs when fonnd, end exam
ination of tbe crania, ft Is evident that
ont was a ru tr and tha others hte alavae.
