shall have been passed by the Imperial
Parliament of Great Britain, of the Pro
vincial Parliament of Colonies and the

Prehistoric Discovery in Wisconsin.
Kaukauna, Wis., Sept. 26.— Workmen
engaged in excavating a sewer came upon
the ruins of a stone building at a depth of
eight feet. The stone first found bore
traces of fine workmanship and polish.
Further digging developed a quantity
of ashes, about twenty-five bushels of
which were removed, when another wall
was struck. The stones were finely
faced, some being blackened as if by fire
and smoke. Others must have been sub
subjected to great artificial heat, as they
had crumbled into lime. The work was
found but a foot or two above bed rock,
and shows evidences of workmanship that
could have been performed only by a
highly civilized race. It must have been
done centuries ago, as a large elm tree bad
grown over the ruins. The discovery has
led to the advancement of many theories.

A LAKE OF LAGEIL
Tho Amount of Beer Drank in
Germany Last Year.
A Consul Solves the Problem of Temper
ance in Germany and Drunkenness in
America.
Washington, Sept. 27,—Consul Tanner,
of Chemnitz, reports to the Secretary of
State that the beer production of Germany
in 1885 was 1,000,000,000 gallons, enough “to
form a lake more than one mile square and
six and a half feet deep, or it would make
a running stream as large as some of our
rivers.” He says the consumption of in
toxicants in Germany per head is four
times as great as in the United States, yet
there are 1,000 hopeless drunkards in the
United States to 10 in Germany. The dif
ference arises largely, he says, if not en
tirely, front the manner of drinking in
vogue in the countries. “This science of
drinking,” he writes, “consists simply in
the tardiness of drinking. All drinks are
taken sip by sip, a half or three-quarters
of an hour being consumed for a glass of
beer. This is so simple that one is liable
to ridicule for laying stress upon it, and
yet on this one point hinges, in my opin
ion, a question of vast importance to
Americans. By this manner of drinking
the blood is aroused to greater activity in
so gradual a manner that there is no vio
lent derangement of the animal economy.
By slow drinking the German accomplishes
the object of drinking, and gives his animal
economy a chance to say ‘hold, enough,’
which only slow drinking will do.” Mr.
Tanner says that since his arrival in Ger
many he has his “first glass of water to see
drunk.”
TWO POLLEYS KILLED.
How John Got His Gun Out and Defended
His Home.
Bratnerd, Minn., Sept. 27.—A cabin on
a Government claim near this city, was
yesterday the scene of a double murder,
committed by the claim owner, named
John Davenport, whose story, however,

here and surrendered himself to the au
thorities. He says lhat two men named
Polley, father and son, came to his cabin
after church yesterday to drive him from
his claim, that a fight ensued, and in it his
wife was struck *hy on' 1 of the Pol leys,
whereupon he mounted cabin ioft, go'J
his rifle, and shot both Polleys dead. Dav
enport is in jail here awaiting the officers
of the adjoining county, in which the crime
was committed.
Stamping Out Pleuro-pneumonia.
Washington, Sept. 27. —Commissioner
Colman, of the Government Bureau of
Agriculture, writes his efforts
to stamp out pleuro-pneumonia among
cattle; “We did not get through Congress
the bill we expected to pass on this subject,
so we can only second the efforts of the
State authorities, and assist in carrying
out the State laws. Under existing law we
can only stamp out the disease in a State
with the permission of the local authorities.
Sometimes the Governor of the State will
not consent- to Federal interference, so we
can only second their efforts.”
Another Shock at Charleston.
Charleston, S. C., Sept. 27—A slight
