DR. R. NEWMAN, Licensed Phyilclan State of New York 286 Fifth' Av nim. New York V. THE SCRAXTOX REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1916 6 EISELE FINDS KRAMER BROS.

KRAMER BROS. SKULL OF AZTEC Real Boys Long For Thirteenth Regiment Sergeant Sends Prehistoric Relic for Everhart Museum. FOUND IN NEW MEXICO Soldier Write? Interestingly of Historic Spots Along the Mexican Border. The skull of an Aztec Indian, who judging from the size of his head and the conformation of his lower jaw, must have been a powerful giant 'in the days when the Aztecs were lords of Mexico, has been sent to The Republican by Herbert E. Elsele, supply sergeant of Headquarters Company, N.

G. TJ. S. and stationed at El Paso. Sergeant Eisel Is the man who, won fame while a motorman on the Laurel Line, by killing foxes with his car, his expert ness.

in that line winning him the sobriquet, "The Laurel Line Fox Killer." Sergeant Elsele has asked that the skull be turned over to the Everhart museum for preservation and exhibition, and his wish will be granted. Packed in a box with the skull came the two bones of the Indian's forearm, 'several vetrebrae, atsd of large size and number of fragments of pottery of an early age. Two remarkable features of the skull are the wonderful preservation of the teeth and the prominence of the lower jaw. Every tooth in the lower Jaw is in place and every one of them gleams like ivory; showing no cavities of breaks. One of the front upper teeth Is missing, having evidently been knocked out in a battle or fight, and the only other miss ing tooth is the wisdom tooth in the upper right, jaw.

A great cavity marks the location of that tooth and recalls that even many years ago the wisdom teeth began to show first weakness, as a sign of Kheir tendency to disuse by nature: Characteristic of Skull. The skull and bones are of reddish tinge, except one of the vetrebrae which In part is' the regular bone colorv Tne reddish tinge likely came from the soil In which the skull was buried so long for centuries perhaps. Other characteristics of the skull are that the forehead slopes back almost from the line that marked where the eyebrows were, and that the skull bulges in the BacK aoove wnere the neck once supported it, another characteristic or men of early times. sergeant Eisele sent 'the skull from Deming, New Mexico, where he has been on a furlough visiting his father and his brother, whom he had not seen for fourteen years. "There are lots or mountains around here," he write s.

"and many of them contain ruins of pre historic people ami tneir' cities, some were tribes of the Astecs. My brother and I spent one day excavating and found two skeletons, some pottery, beads, etc. I am sending a skull and pieces of pottery to you to express and would like very much for you to see that these are placed tn the Everhart museum. In a box that I am sending to Mrs Eisele theer are other specimens that I would be pleased to have placed with the same collection. Will send' some small pieces of glass which have been colored, by exposure to the sun and weather.

We find in this section of the country perfectly clear glass will become highly colored when exposed to the sun and weather tor some time. If I had more time I won In secure a very valuable collection for our museum at home such as copper and brass work." Telling of the nlentifulness of crame In New Mexico Sergeant Eisele says rabbits are so numerous that no one bothers to shoot them. He killed a quail a half mile from town, he says. and while in the mountains tracked for two miles' a mountain lion. The sergeant has visited the little Jail In Deming where the Villa raiders caught at Columbus were executed.

"Conditions are very bad in Old Mexico," he writes. "A large percentage of the population throughout this state end this part of the country is Mexican and in sympathy, more or less, with the different factions In Historic Boenes. "While coming down the mountains" his letter continues, "we crossed the famous Butterfield trail that extends from New Orleans to California and that was used by the 'forty In front of my father's home is what is known. as the old Mormon Grade. It was Intended to he a railroad extending from Utah, to Chihuahua and at the present time makes an excellent automobile road from Deming to the border.

A tew miles north of here is the Massecre Mountain, near which the men, women and children of an Immigrant train were massacred by the Indians in the early days and the remains of the wagons and ox yokes are still to be found there. "My father is one of the old pioneers having travelled with the ox trains over the old Sante Fe trail in the 60's. He made two trips to Montana with muls and oxen. He was the second white child born in Kansas and the place of his birth Is the old Shawnee Indian mission He helped make the crackers and hardtack used by Fremont on his expedition of California. There are very few men of his type living today.

The Kansas State Historical society is at the present time writing his blograpsy which will soon be published in book form. "If I am ableto secure another fur lough later, HgXant Eisele letter con eludes, "I wiiVf to send more relics that will be of Interest to the people at hpme.

The former quarters of Goldsmith's Bazaar, which house the new store, have been transformed into one of the most perfectly laid out mercantile houses in the city. The entire front Is of glass and affords wonderful facilities for displaying the stock of the store. The floors are broad and deep and well lighted. Broad stair cases connect the floors and a roomy elevator gives quick service as well. The newest ideas in mercantile architecture are embodied in the layout of floors and mezzanine balconies and the interior woodworking finish and flooring are the most beautiful and the best to be had.

Throngs at Yesterday's inspection was an informal opening and welcoming of friends. From 2 until 5 in the afternoon and again from 7 until 10 at night the doors were thrown open to the public. Bauer's orchestra played afternoon and night, and in the afternoon there we i souvenirs for children and souvenirs for grownups at night. The big sales force and members of the company were on hand to welcome visitors and one of the most pleased men In the store during the opening was J.

The big store gives ample room for display and sale of furniture. On the floors and mezzanines there are more than 30,000 square feet of selling space or floor space. In addition to this great space that is used solely for the sale and display of furniture the company has a warehouse in Dix court that has 20,000 square feet of floor space and that is used for the carrying of stock so that there is never a shortage of the lines sold in the main store. Beautiful Windows, The display windows on Lackawanna avenue impress the pedestrian with the beauty and completeness of the lines carried and they give an idea of the magnificence to be found These great windows are used to display complete rooms and yesterday their beauty was enhanced by a number of magnificent bouquets sent by other Seranton business men and by friends of the company as part of their wishes for success. Letters, telegrams, telephone messages and personal calls by the hundreds were other ways in which Seranton business men and friends and out of town friends expressed their good luck wishes for the new store.

The main floor is one of the most beautifully equipped business floors the city has ever seen. It gives an idea of a big beautiful home.

The rugs especially attract attention, being displayed in a flat, horizontal position, the way they look on the floors at home. It is an ideal way to show a prospective patron a rug and nearly the entire floor space is given over to this display effect that makes every rug visible the way it will look in use.

There were many compliments yesterday for R. J. Swartz, who has charge of the department. The messanine balcony on the second floor Is used for the display of home novelties, such as desks, bookcases, sectional oases, and no more complete showing of thee islnes is to be seen anywhere In this part of the state.
