QUEER THINGS ON MT. LYELL
Signs of Returning Activity in a
Seemingly Extinct Volcano.


Homer Index.
Thomas Albright, the well known
Prescott prOspectOr. informs the Index
that ''grand sights have been seen"
around Mt. Lyell during the past two
weeks. All through the present season
it has been noticed that the glacial
streams flowing from beneath the great
ice feld-which have been trickllng IT
measured volumes for thousands on
years-have increased so as 10 become
respectable creeks in many instances.
This could not be accounted for. as the
heat of the sun is probably no more in
tense than it has been many times be-
fore.
Possibly the phenomenon may be ex-
planned by recent occurrences. Within
the past month recent lights and glews
have been noticed along the up
per edge of the ice, the towering bare
cones cleaning phosphorescently amid
the gloom of night. Each morning fol-
lowing display of this kind, smoke is
seen issuing from under the ice in inter
mlttent streams. aS-i elected by some
force acting beneath. AT times the
WhiffS are sharp and sudden from
dozen or mere places at the same time,
accompanied by red dust hich settles
on the glacier and diScOlOTs it i'll blotch-
eS of many acres.
1t is believed, as Mr.. Albright says.
that the mountain is "alivs and work
ing. and that the pent-up forces within
are struggling to make vent. The
glacier is about two miles in length and
a mile in width. Its depth in places.
judging from the profile of the noun
tain, which is $1,000 feet in height,
must be enormous. Perhaps old Pluto
has resumed operations in his labora-
tory and is endeayOring to- throw out
the great mass of ice which plugs his
chimney. Lyell has been dead, to all
appearances, for countless ages ever
since the time, in the forgotten past.
when, by some cataclysm. the Whole
continent was covered by an ice cap
several thousand feet in thickness.
Maybe the old hill is trying to reasSert
itself and demonstrate &c the world that
it still has latent life.

the flames rushed through the door,

dropped out of a window and the par

entire family is bereft of all clothing,
excepting the nIght-clOthes in which
they escaped, and not an article in the
house was saved. NeighbOrS and others
will be appealed to aid the destitute

kilograms from Olympia several days
ago announced that 1t was thought by
many there that Mr.. Robert u. Bryan,
the republican nominee for state super
intcndcnt of public instruction, was in
eligible 10 that office, The reason given
was that section 1 of the school law of
lsS5.s6 provides that no person shall be
eligible TO the Office OF superintendent of
public instruction unless such person
shall be the holder of first grade terri
tOrial certificate or territorial diploma.
1t was stated that Mr.. Bryan did not
possess either, and as no law could be
passed previous to October l which
would rectify this matter, the central
committee was advised to make another
nomination for that important Office, as
otherwise "A contest would in
cvi,ably arise in the event of
Mr.. Bryan's election. The central COM
mnittcc proceeded to investigate the
matter and found that there was no
foundation for the statement, as the fol-
lowing telegram, received Thursday
night, indicates:
OIYMrIA, SEPT. 10.--EDlron REVIEW /:
You are authorized TO state that there
are no grounds whatever for the charge
that Robert II. Bryan, nominee for
superintendent Of public instruction, is
ineligible. JOHN II. CONVEY.
Mr.. Convey is chairman of the rcpub-
llcan state central committee, and the
information is therefore reliable. Mr.,
Bryan's name will accordingly remain
on the ticket, and he will bo elected with
the other republican nominees.

THE NATIONS CAPITAL.
A Batch of Very Interesting Items
From the Seat of Government.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Sept. 19-SeCrc-
tary Window has decided that in the
purchase of silver for coinage into stand
ard silver dollars. he will hereafter nc
cept the lowest offers for the amount re-
quired, provided the price is within the
market rate, as required by law. This
revcrses the practice of the department
under the last administration of making
counter offers, and is return to the
practice which prevailed prior to 1885.
The change In the practice Is said to be
due to the representation by bankers and
others that the practice OF making
counter offers was, in effect, an attempt
by the government to bear the silver
market by forcing down the market
rate. Secretary Window, In speaking of
the matter this afternoon, said his action
meant nothing more than what appeared
on the surface and was not to be under

the daughters of Dclaware's statesman
handle the prancing stecds is envied by
their legions of friends. So adept are
they that generally the family coach-
man Is compelled to literally take back
scat and surrender the rnins to one OF the
young ladies. Tho ex.sccrctary rarely
thinks Of holding the reins when out for
q driye, with his girls; To say that the

Miss Florence Bayard Is the champion

Miss Florence is also the champion lady

members OF the Delaware Field
have Miss Florence Bayard repro.
sent their organization at almost any Of
the national tournaments. Her sister,

WELD the racquet with the proficiency
that has been acquired by the lady

Ex-secretary Bayard has three sons
James, Thomas T., Jr., and Philip.
They are also athletically inclined, es-

Thomas T., Jr., Is Yalo student and
