Remains of Camel and Horse
Found Along Yukon Region
Strengthens Theory.
EARLY HISTORY IS FOLLOWED
North American Species Thought
to Have Been Derived From
Old World.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2 —At th->
time of the discovery of America,
horses and cAmels were entirely un
known In the Western Hemisphere
The Indians had never peen a horse,
and the nearest living American rep
resentative of the camel was the
llama.
It ha^ long; been known to zool
ogists, however, that both horses and
camels existed In North America In a
geological age not very remote.
Within a year discoveries have been
made which indicate that camels
once inhabltated the Yukon region of
Canada, and a skull of an Alaskan
horse has also been found.
In the summer of It* 12, along the
Yukon-Alaskan boundary, Copley
Amory. Jr., obtained a small collection
of fossil bones of the Pleistocene Age,
or that Immediately preceding the age
of man. These bones Include several
parts of a mammoth, horse, bison nnd
camel. Camel bones had never before
been found in this region.
Caeis Once Abundant.
It is known that several large spe
cies of camels were very abundant
on this continent during both the Pli
ocene and the Pleistocene periods, and
the discovery of their remains in the
Pleistocene deposits of the Alaskan
peninsula was not altogether unlooked
for, although their occurrence so far
within the Arctic Circle was scarcely
expected.
It tends to support the supposition
that milder climatic conditions pre
vailed in Alaska during probably the
greater part of the Pleistocene period.
It also tends to support the theory
of the existence of a wide Astatic-
Alaskan land connection of compara
tively recent date which for a great
length of time served as a highway
for the migration of mammals from
the Old World to America.
A not less interesting acquisition
of the National Museum is the fossil
skull of a horse found by C. P. Sny
der during mining operations near
Tofty, Alaska It is remarkably well
preserved and retains its original
structure.
Its importance is enhanced by the
fact that hitherto our knowledge of
Alaskan horses has been based on
very scant remains, such as single
teeth, or a very few teeth associated
together, and a few bones or frag
ments of them. Meager as they were,
however, they allowed that at some
time in the past horses had been
widely distributed in this apparently
barren region.
It is understood that the horses
which lived in North America during
the Pleistocene Age were probably
derived from stock which crossed
over from Asia Into Alaska and then
made their way over nearly the
whole of both North and South Amer
ica.

Bryan Kseps Silent.
Secretary Bryan was not disposed
to-day to discuss the report that Am
bassador Wilson has demanded ac
ceptance of his immediate resignation
or accept his policies as to Mexico.
The report was brought to Secre
tary Bryan’s attention when It was
stated that owing to the activity of
Representative Smith of Texas and
certain Mexican railway officials, the
Administration is about to decapitate
Consul Edwards at Juarez.
It Is alleged he has been sending out
inaccurate information. ha« been too
friendly with the rebels and has out
lived his usefulness.
Powers Amazed by
U. S. Mexican Policy.
By FREDERICK UPHAM ADAMS.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.—The policy of
the United States toward Mexico in
recent years ha« earned for us the
deserved contempt of all Latin-Amer
ica. Our succession of administra
tive and diplomatic blunders has been
watched with amazed interest by
Great Brita’n, Germany and other
great world powers.
A considerable portion of the press
and the public gasped with indignant
surprise when it was semi-officially
announced that certain of these pow
ers had reminded the United States
of its obligation to enforce the Mon
roe Doctrine or to abandon it.
It is a lamentable fact that the
United States has not progressed far
enough on its path as a world power
to realize the propriety and Justice of
anticipating the inevitable results of
well-known conditions. We do not
act because it is logical and right that
we should act, but, on the contrary,
because our indecision and diplomatic
cowardice eventually comers us into
a position where we are forced to act.
Spain Forced Nation’s Hand.
Why did we go to war with Spain?
Was it because Spain was oppressing
and slaughtering the Cubans? Was
it because of our instincts of hu
manity? Was it because of a feeling
of sympathy for “the under dog?”
Was it because the lives and proper
ty of thousands of Americans were
imperiled in the semi-savage war
fare between the relentless Weyler
and the Cuban revolutionists? No.
Any one of these considerations
should have b^en enough to interfere
by force of arms and stop a strug
gle which was a disgrace to civiliza
tion. But we closed our eyes and
stopped our ears and let the sickening
carnage go on for years, most at our
doors.
Why did we finally “Interfere” In
Cuba? Because of the blowing up of
the Maine. That aroused our flaming
anger and we proceeded to rescue Cu
ba from anarchy, not because it was
our duty, not because it was the Just
and logical step to take, but because
we were mad.
We did not know who destroyed the
Maine and sacrificed the lives of its
officers and men, and we do not know
now, but that the tragedy that shock
ed the American public into a realiza
tion of the fact that something was
wrong in Cuba and a wave of frenzy
forced the Government to take just
the step which it should have taken
long before.
In the last two years more Ameri
cans have been foully murdered in
Mexico than gave up their lives on
the Maine They have been killed
singly or in small groups in sections
remote from communication. They
were not participants in any of the
numberless "revolutions". which have
been waged for plunder from one end
of Mexico to the other.
They were ranchmen, cowboys,
miners, engineers, railroad men and
of other honest occupations. Most of
them were killed while trying to de
fend their lives and their property.
Consuls Report Outrages.
Day by day in all the awful months
which have passed in Mexico the va
rious consular representatives of the
United States have forwarded to Am
bassador Wilson the reports of out
rages against our citizens and have
furnished him with the names of the
dead as far as known.
Day by day Ambassador Wilson has
forwarded to Washington cabled ot
written reports of the loss of Ameri
can life and the destruction of Amer
ican property. Week after week Am
bassador Wilson presented to Presi
dent M.idero, and later to Huerta,
claims fc r the redress of these out
rages. They did nothing. Washing
ton did practically nothing to enforce
Mexican attention to these just
claims.
Madero was President of Mexico,
nnd the usual crop of murder and pil
lage prevailed from the Rio Grande to
Guatemala.
It was given out at the White House
when President Taft ordered thou
sands of United States troops massed
along the borders of the Rio Grande
that this disposal of troops had no
connection with Mexican affairs, but
wus peaceful army maneuvers.
This statement was a conventional
diplomatic twisting of the facts. There
was a brief subsidence of outrages
against Americans in Mexico, but it
soon became apparent to all of the
* airing factions that the United
States was bluffing, and they pro
ceeded with their work of pillage and
murder, regardless of the American
troops massed along the border.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2.—''‘No
child need ever again grow up hunch
back.”
This statement was made to-night
by Dr. J. Torrance Rugh, of this city,
who has saved two babies from be
ing crippled for life. Another child,
two-year-old Joseph Kelley, is under
going in his tenement home the first
part of the Rugh treatment, with the
promise to his mother tl^it his back
will be made straight and strong for
the rest of his life by October.
Little Trouble in Treatment.
The new r treatment can be given at
home, with no more trouble to the
mother than the ordinary care of a
helpless baby would mean.
Long and costly hospital treatment
and months of agony for the littl;
victims strapped to the neck in hot
and expensive plaster casts are done
away with.
The apparatus used by Dr. Rugh is
nothing but an oblong frame of four
pieces of lead pipe. After the spinal
column has straightened, a bone
grafting operation to supplant dis
eased bones with healthy structures,
is performed If necessary.
Back Gradually Straighten#.
The secret of the treatment is that
the leaden sides of the frame bend
as the back straightens, so that the
baby takes a natural position and
the back is kept perfectly straight.
The pressure against the tendency to
"hunch” is gradually increased.
This fall at the Methodist Epis
copal Hospital, where Dr. Rugh has
carried on his work, some bits of bone
will be taken from legs of the Kelley
youngster and put in his hack in
place of the tubercular vertebrae that
threatened to cripple him for life, so
he will be made as strong as he was
at birth.

NEW YORK. August 2.—‘Yes,”
said Mme. Gerville-Reache, the cel
ebrated contralto, in an interview
ith an American reporter, "I be
lieve absolutely in marriage meaning
maternity. Already I am the mother
of a sturdy boy* of three years, and
soon expect to be a mother for the
second time. You see,” she went on,
smiling. “I am helping to perpetuate
the tradition of married contraltos."
"What tradition is that?” asked
ihe reporter.
“Why, the rearing of large fam
ilies. Look at Mme. 'Schumann-
Heink, the proud parent of eight tall
sons. Mme. Homer counts five beau
tiful children In her home. Where
can you find a parallel in the house
holds of the soprano prlma donna?”
The reporter was silent.
"Mme. Gadski is the mother of a
daughter—her only child; Mme. Mel
ba has a lone son; Fremstad, Tetraz-
zin, Sembrich—I could name a dozen
other high-voiced singers, all of
whom are childless. It is a curious
fact and one to cause considerable
wonder and comment. In my own
case I can truthfully say that iny
voice has never been in better con
dition than it is at present; my ca
reer has neither suffered nor has it
been interfered with.”
She stopped to call her little son
to her, and patting his dark curls
went on: "Just imagine, when my
Paul was but four weeks old I sang
one of my most difficult, most trying
roles.”
“Do you expect to sing during the
coming autumn?” asked the reporter.
“To be sure I do,” she replied. "I
have been specially engaged by
Maestro Campanini for a limited
number of appearances with* the Chi
cago Opera Company. After that I
may have another long concert tour
similar to the one I recently finished.
That took me all the way to Califor

Mme. Gerville-Reache was one of

was appearing there as the principal
contralto that the music world was

GRAND JUNCTION, COLO.,* Aug.
2.—Miss Mary Middaugh, aged 23,
once the belle of Rico and the daugh
ter of Rico’s wealthiest citizen* died
in a hovel on the outskirts * of the
city in which she and her mother had
been making their residence for th®
last few -weeks, a home to which they
had been forced by the loss of their
wealth.
The only mourner at the. young
woman's bedside was Charles Was
son, a blind playmate of the girl when
she ruled the social world of. Rico aa
the daughter of a banker and electric
light plant owner. Wasson remained
true when all friends had deseretd
her. Unable to see for himsetf, he
refused to believe that his $rgt love
was not the sweet-voiced maiden who
was kind to him in her opulent days. /
History a Tragedy.
The history of the Middaugh family
for the last three or four years is
filled with disaster.
Frank Middaugh, until his death
in 1908, was the leading .citizen of
Rico. He was wealthy and provided
a luxurious home fro his wife and
only daughter. The girl was educated
It. a fashionable academy .qeqr Den- *
ver, and through her interest in the
case of Charles Wasson, the poor
blind boy, who, as the story books
say. always live in the little houso
back of the rich man’s estate, she
took up the study of optics, but she
was never able to cure her friend.
At the death of her father the fam
ily fortunes wavered and bad invest
ments ate up their wealth. They
moved to Grand Junction, w.here they
opened a fashionable home, and dived
in luxury for many months before
the crash came.
Became Addicted to Drugs.
Mary Middaugh's last days is a
story of drugs, whisky .and dissipa
tion.
Charles Wasson, who followed his
benefactress to Grand Junction from
Rico two years ago. has been making
a living as dishwasher in a local res
taurant. He has been guided back and
forth to work by a large shepherd
dog until yesterday, when someone
fed the animal poison. This loss,
coupled with the death of the girl,
prostrated him.
If the elder Middaugh ivoman will
consent, Charles Wasson will endeav
or to support her, even though she
cared little for him when she'was the
social leader of Rico.
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 2.—William

rel.
When the jury came in and an
nounced to Judge Latshaw that a
verdict had been reached, Foreman
Arthur Brown asked permission to
speak to the prisoner.
"McNeil,” said Brown, "we are all
satisfied you are guilty, but we are
going to give you another chance.
We want you to go home and make
a man of yourself. Your mother is
getting old and needs you. You are
to cut out parties. Don’t you think
you can make a man of yourself?”
“Yes, sir,” McNeil said weakly.

WOMAN IN BLACK DRESS
CHARMS 14-FOOT SNAKE
BELLBFONTAINE, OHIO, Aug. 2.
A fourteen-foot anaconda snake,
weighing 100 pounds, crawled lazily
along fashionable Chillicothe avenue
and crossing a lawn took refuge in a
barn.
Somebody recalled that Mrs. Nina
Bowman, living near, had experience
in handling snakes. She was found
bemoaning the loss of her pet when
sent for.
Dressing in a satin gown, a black
creation that the snake most fancied,
she went to the barn, made a bed for
his snakeship on a piece of canvas
and gathered the canvas about him,
called a dray and had the big reptile
hauled back to her home.
LEAVE THEIR WEDDING RINGS.
MOLINE, ILL., Aug. 2.—Four rub
bers, grateful for the grace with
which th© household of E. H. Sleight
submitted to being robbed of jewelry
and silverware valued at $1,0QjQ. al
lowed Mrs. Sleight and her- daughter,
recently the bride of Jay U. Barnard,
to retain their wedding rings.
(From The Family Physician.)
It would be much better for the
skin if little cream, powdfer or rouge
were used during the heated term
Mixed with*perspiration,, dust and
grime, these things are anything but
beautifying. Ordinary mercolized
wax will do more for the complexion,
and without giving an oily, shiny,
streaked, spotted or pasty appearance.
It is the ideal application for the sea
son, as it not only keeps the pores
clean, but daily removes particles of
scarf skin which have been soiled by
dirt or weathe-. By oonstantlv keep
ing the complexion clear, white and
satiny, it does more toward perpetu
ating a youthful countenance than
any of the arts or artifices common
ly employed. One ounce of mercol-
lzed wax. obtainable at any drug
store, will completely renovate the
worst complexion. It is applied at
night like cold cream and washed off
in the morning.
To keep the skin from sagging or
wrinkling, or to overcome such con
dition, there’s nothing better than a
face bath made by dissolving 1 ounce
powdered saxolite in % pint witch
hazel.
DANGER IN EATING MEAT
Statistics Show That People
Who Eat Meat Are Suscep
tible to Typhoid Fever.
The death rate of Typhoid has been
10 per cent for many years. Even if
the patient recovers, there is danger-
weakened constitution, languidness, loss
of energv, and other after effects.
In a majority of cases typhoid fever
is directly traceable to an inactive liver
which has left masses of meat particles
undigested in the alimentary canai. This
mass putrefies and sends out death deal
ing poisons, to result in typhoid fever.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is tne greatest
known liver stimulant. Its action is gen
tle, yet effective. It draws water to the
alimentary tract, flushes stomach and
bowels, washes away the undigested
meat particles and removes the danger
of fermentation. The blood is purified
through the renewed activity or the
liver.
JACOBS’ LEVER SALT does not cause
nausea and vomiting; no dangerous aft
er-effects as with calomel. Ddn’t take
an inferior substitute; many Imitate
the name but cannot produce the same
natural, flushing action of the genuine
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT. At all drug
gists. 25c. If your druggist can not sup
ply you upon receipt of price, full
size jar mailed, postage free. Made and
