"Walk off on your ear" has been
greatly misunderstood. Jack White
defines It to be a military order, and
should read thus: "Walk off Oh your
rear!" Or, In nautical phrase, n stern
movement.
A German prospector has sent speci.

Dr.. E.. x. willard writes to the

The Chiv. Democracy and the Cau-
casian, or Plaza Democracy, were ours
ing each other In unmeasured terms
yesterday wing accusing the
other Of throwing off on the "nnterrl-
fed" and bringing about the defeat.
There Is q sublime harmony In the con-
hicting elements of the Democracy In
one respect, and that Is In elimination
and recrimination the day after cleo
ton. Ye poweas, but they're mighty
bitter Just now!
A respectable number Of the resi-
dents of1Treasure City bad determined
to eschew party politics In the NUM-
cipal election, and run q ticket with q
view Of obtaining an expression OF

There was q stratum Of eighty straight
Citizens tickets In the vicinity Of The

hardly be true, II the registry and vote
tally agreed; and that they did not
nstagr6e seems probable from the fact
that one of the Judges, G. Patchen, re-
fused to certify to the returns. There
will doubtless be more stir about this
before 1t all blows over.
