A PREHISTORIC BATTLEFIELD‘ IN
INDIAN TERRITORY.
Two Thousand Men of the Stone Agi
Buried Together, and a Great Battll
‘ .Inferred. Skulls Bear Arrowheads and
Weapons Are Numerous. '
Recent discoveries made in Indian
Territory are of considerable archaeo
logical interest, says the Chicago
Times-Herald. Men employed in thi
construction of the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf Railway, opened a
graveyard whose tenants were men oi
the stone ago. More than one hundred
skeletons have been uncovered already.
and hundreds of specimens of quartz
and flint arrow and spear heads, stem
hammers and axes, bowls and water
bottles havebeen collected. The loca-
tion of the ancient burying ground is
V'—
» near a small town known as Redland,
situated where the Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf right of way crosses the
the Arkansas River. Redland is mere
ly a construction camp.
Some distance from the roadbed ,2
large field of sand of the quality know:
as “molding sand” was found. Super-
intendent Winn sent a band of men
and teams to get the sand to level the
tracks, and almost the first shovelfu]
thrown out’ disclosed part of a skeleton.
A careful prospect ’ of the entire sand
plain shows that the field was a burial
place, and that no part of it was un-
used. The excavations thus far take in
but a small part of the ground, with
the result as given. A Mr. Lewis says,
in a recent letter to a friend in Chicago,
that there was at least 2,000 buried in
the field, and concludes that they were
persons killed in some battle of prehis
torio days. .
“As nearly as I can judge, the place
was not a regularly laid out and estab-
lished necropolis. The skeletons we
have already uncovered lay at a depth
of eighteen inches to four feet, and
were without regularity as to position.
Some lay on one side, some on another,
and the heads lay in any direction, as if
the bodies had been thrown hastily into .
trenches. From this fact, in connec-
tion with unmistakable evidences that
nearly all the skeletons were of men
who had met death by violence, I con-
clude that a great battle was fought in
the vicinity.
“The flint and stone weapons found
are numberless. Many of the skulls
had arrows and spearheads in them.
Others were crushed as if by a maul.
One of the skeletons ,we uncovered was
evidently that of a war chief. The
framework as it lay measured six feet
two inches from crown to heel, and the
arms and leg bones were of extraordi-
nary size, although nearly all we found
were rather larger than those of the
ordinary white man. This particular
man had evidently been a mark for the
warriors of the opposing army. His
skull was crushed and carried besides
eight large arrowheads. In one of' the
vertebrae was a large Spearhead, and in
the front side of his thigh bone was an-
other; He had received at least eleven
mortal wounds.
“Other skulls were found containing
three or four arrowheads each, and in
one the flint had penetrated clear
through the bone and was loose in the
cavity formerly occupied by the brain.
The early settlers of this region were
evidently men who were strong of arm
and good shots. ,
“Compared with the number of spear
and arrow-points, we found very few
hammers or axes.
ans of the dead were not buried with
them. They took, to the grave only
such weapons as were fastened into
their anatomy. Near each. skull was
found a bowl or a water bottle. The
oowls were of a crude sort of pottery
and unglazed, breaking easily. The
water bottles, however, were vitrified,
and consequently are more durable.
KIOSKS FOR BICYCLISTS.
Temperance Experiment to be Tried in
New York.
Those bicyclists who visited River-
side drive last year and complained of
:heir inability to get refreshments on
not summer days, will be relieved of a
repetition of their experiences this year,
for the Kiosk idea, suggested some time
ego by the Church Temperance Society,
will be put into effect this spring by
shat organization.
The kiosk, which is a small but neat
frame house, is known in some of the
:arger foreign cities as coffee stands.
The Church Society thought the idea
of erecting these houses around the
public parks of the city, in place of the ‘
wagons, would prove a benefit to hu-
manity, and they at Once began an
Investigation of the opportunities
offered.
Many bicyclists have written to the
society asking that a kiosk be built on
the Coney Island road, while riders have
petitioned the Board of Park Commis-
sioners from time to time about such a
thing for Riverside Park.
, T. E. Buckley, of Wooster, Mass,
went abroad last year in the interest of
The society and returned recently.
On his trip he studied the coffee
stands in many of the large cities, and
finally decided that the Belfast idea of
stands would be best for New York,
and the Society has decided to adopt
Mr. ”Buckley’s recommendation.
“Our intention,” said Mrs. Graham,
who is connected with the Temperance
Church Society, "is to build only one of
' these kiosks as an experiment. We have
been petitioned by many bicycle riders
to place it near Riverside Drive, and as
the Park Board has granted us a per:
mit we will do so. Should the experi-
ment prove successful in the course of
a short time the booths will be placed
near every park in the city.”

MARRIAGE MAKES THE CHAPERONE.
She May Be Young, But if Wedded She
can Chaperone.
A- group of charming girls were loud-
ly denouncing the selfishness of Mr.
Adams, a young married man of their
acquaintance. A newcomer inquired
the cause of complaint. .
“Why, you see,” said one, “he won’t
go to the Brown’s party, and if Mr.
Adams doesn’t go Mrs. Adams won’t
go, and as Mrs. Adams was to chape-
rone us all we shall all have to stay at
home.” .
Among the girls two were at least 25
and one over 30. The last had been a
high-minded, sensible young girl, and it
seemed as if she might now be an ade-
quate chaperone for her cOmpanions,
but to have asserted herself in such a
capacity would have involved one of
'two results—either she would have
been looked upon as altogether passe
or-as extremely eccentric. .
She was not ready to accept either
judgment. When the lamented Mrs.
Adams—a frivolous young woman of 20
—appeared she joined her voice to the
earnest appeal made to her. For pro-
priety of conduct or force of character
she could not be compared to the older
woman, and yet the latter felt that she
could not go to the party except under
the shadow of her wing. .
No doubt the canon :of society which
decrees that a married woman, however
young, may serve as a guardian for
girls, has a sensible basis, since mar-
riage is in itself an education, and
many an older single woman, through
sheer innocence, might permit liberties
which her married sister would be too
wise to allow. But there is a. limit to
such rigidity of rule which good sense
should be permitted to transcend——

THE HON. THOMAS E. REED.
Personal Characteristics of the Speaker
of the House.
A writer for Leslie’s Weekly thus de-
scribes Thomas. B. Reed, of Maine,
whose position as Speaker of the House
of Representatives and a candidate for
the Presidency gives him especial prom-
inence as a public man:
Mr. Reed is a man of liberal educa-
tion, and among other things is a lin-
guist. He speaks and reads French
fluently, though whether his speech is
tinctured with that twang for which
his English tongue is famous, I do not
know. He knows some Italian and
Spanish also among modern tongues.
He is well informed in general litera-
ture, and he is especially well versed in
the political history of Englaad and the
United States. He is not above reading
novels, and he finds especial relaxation
in the French novel.
Mr. Reed writes when he is in the
mood. He sets himself no task. When
he,has magazine work to do he often
postpones it till the last minute be-
cause he is not “i’ the mood.” When
his inspiration comes he writes often
far into the'night. His thoughts flow
freely, and he makes few corrections in
manuscript. . '
Mr. Reed keeps an office in Portland,
but he does not practice law. His Con-
gressional duties make so great a de-
mand upon his time that he feels he can-
THOMAS B. REED.
cOt serve another master; so the law
practice waits on that time when he
shall be retired to private life.
It is not unusual for the keen-tongued
man to be sensitive. Mr. Reed is a
good deal of a philosopher, but he is not
thick-skinned. He has character enough
to conceal his hurt to most men, but
his cuticle has been painfully rasped at
times when he has seemed most calm
and self- contained. This was especially
true during his experience as Speaker of
the House. One of the political tradi-
tions of that period represents Mr. Reed
pounding a pillow vigorously at night,
under the impression that it was the
head of Springer of Illinois, or Rogers
of Arkansas.
Mr. Reed’s personal tastes are simple.
He believes in comfort without regard
to more than the decent conventionali-
ties of life. No man of Mr. Reed’s pe-
culiar build would have put on a. col-
ored shirt anda sash if he had had a
sensitive regard for public opinion. Mr.
Reed has a mild contempt for what is
known as “society,” - yet social inter-
course with bright people is, one of his
most valued recreations. A “function" ,
he despises, but a small gathering of
congenial men and women or: a jolly
card party he thoroughly enjoys. i
. Where the Mountains Sing.
Darwin was one of the first to call at
tention to the mountain in El Bramat
dor, in Chile, which emits a. peculiar
sound at times; and in the midst of Py-
ramid Lake, Nevada, there [is another
whichutters a musical note, which, in
certain states of the wind, ' begins like
the jingling of countless silver. bells,
and ends with aloud strain," resembling
the low notes of a pedal organ. These
sounds are attributed to the friction of
the wind and the movements of sands,
as in the case of the “singing sands” of
'Lob-nor, in China, the island Eigg, ix:

and of a charming personality. The

THUNDER ‘CLOUD’S WHITE BRIDE.
The Sioux Brave Weds Miss Hashazen.
an Artist of New York.
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—Mr. and Mrs.
Dominique Plants, the former better
known as Thunder Cloud, have returned
to town from their honeymoon trip, most
of which was spent in Sullivan county.
Thunder Cloud is a handsome redskln,
whose jet black hair falls below his shoul-
ders. Mrs. Thunder Cloud, or Plants, was
before her marriage Miss Harriet Hash-
agen, who paints in oils, miniatures, ivory
and china, and who has a studio .at 11
East Fifty-ninth street. Thunder Cloud
was born in the Caughnawaga country, in
Canada, something over 40 years ago, and
a few years later was carried as a papoose
to the north of Minnesota. His mother
was a full blood Sioux and his father was
a half breed Chippewa. He came to New
York 22 years ago. .
He sells Indian curiosities and also poses
as a model for artists. It was while Thun-
der Cloud was posing for Miss Hashagen
that she fell in love with him. On Sept.
1 Miss Hashagen called a few of her inti-
mate friends into her dainty studio and in
their presence was married to the Indian
by the Rev. Henry St. George Young of
Bellevue hospital.
The Trouble at Leadvllle.
LEADVILLE, 0010., Sept. 29.-—The situ-
ation is practically unchanged. There
was some firing during the night and
early this morning, but it was merely the
firing of guards demanding the halting of
strangers. It is now understood that the
conference of the miners’ committee of five
resulted in, a decision to continue the
strike. The vote is said to have been
three for a continuance and two for an
effort looking to a compromise.
