When the pictures of the Cabinet Daugh-

Miss Wanamaker is one of the prettiest

Mrs. Marguerite Sepulveda, who died at

The Chicago News Record says: Oak

farm in the country outside of Califor-

exhibit has thirty-five of the great be-
plumed bipeds strutting around under
the watchful eye of f. J. Johnson, who
brought his long-necked pets all the
way from the Pacific coast in a furniture
car. The birds arrived in Chicago
Thursday at midnight, and were taken
to Oakwood the next day, marched
down runway into the inclosure, and
all Oakwood climbed the fence to look.
The ostriches, seventeen hens and thir.
teen cocks, are to form part Of

efforts Of +. O. Lanphere, the real estate

BY the Associated Press.
OHIcAao, June 21.-It is learned at an
early hour this (Tuesday) morning that
DR.. Henry Scudder, who is confined in
the county Jail awaiting trial on the
charge OF numbering his mother-in-law
Mrs. Danton, took heavy dose of NOR
phine tonight and died ct IL 80 a. m.
The officials at the jail are of the
opinion that the morphine was taken
with suicidal intent. The doctor spent
Monday as usual, reading and talking
with the attendants, and seeming very
cheerful in manner. In the evening he
ordered hearty supper, ate it with
relish, and from then till bed time
laughed and chatted with two of the
night keepers.
About 9:3O, night-keeper, while
patrolling the ward, heard q moan COM
ing from the doctors cell. His bed was
Immediately pulled into the corridor
and medical aid summoned. DR.. Pyn-
chon worked for three hours, but his
efforts were futile, and at IL 80 Scudder
died without regaining consciousness.
A condemned murderer who occupies
cell next to Scudder said that the lat
ter had been given morphine frequently
In small quantities by the attending
physician. From remarks made by
Scudder, this man thinks the doctor
saved up the morphine, having suicide
in view.

The "Cyclone Burglar" George Glib

ing. Gibson received sentence of five
years. imprisonment in San Quentin
prison.
When brought to the bar he quickly
entered plea of guilty of the charge
of robbing the safe of M. Silver at San
Pedro. Gibson had nothing to say when
the customary questions were asked, and
in fact, ever since his apprehension he
has been as close. mouthed as clam.
1t was mere question of the location
of the prison with him, for in addition
to the. numerous safe breakings here in
California which have been traced to
his account by Sheriff Gibson and
the attaches of his office, there are sew
eral indictments lying against Gibson
in Iowa and Nebraska, which will prob
ably come into play when Gibson's term

Nearly all Of the birds were Matched ir
an incubator, and are considered an
unusually we'll selected lot, all strong
hearty, fine specimens. They come from
the Fall Brook ostrich farm in San Diego
county, California, and are the offspring
of the twenty-three birds brought from
Africa by Manager johnson in 1883.
There are over 100 left behind in Cali
fornia. ahd what was an experiment q
few years ago Is now regarded as an as
sured success.
The older birds at the Oakwood farm
have plumes of a beautiful glossy black,
but the hens and chicks--one of those
same chicks can look over ten-foot
fence without strainipg muscle--are a
mixture of drab and brown. The cocks
mature at years of age, the hens at 4.
years, they have been known to live
are valued at $500 each, and are good for
$50 to $50 worth OF plumes each year.
They are plucked every eight months.
Manager johnson has named his
giant turkeys after the celebrities of the
day. Gail Hamilton, ten foot maiden
with Delsartean balance to her walk
and flirtatious twinkle in her eye, is
far from being as sweet-tempered and
amiable as the name would suggest. Ben
jamin Harrison is plumed knight, not
very large, but stout, sturdy and pug
nacious. James G.. Blaine was sold to
a Denver admirer lust before the con-
vention, and John L. Sullivan has gone
to Honolulu. Grover Cleveland is huge
fellow, black and brown. with an ex-
pansive spread to his bill and soft
spot in his heart for Gail Hamilton.
II believe an ostrich farm could be
operated here as permanent thing"
said Mr.. johnson, yesterday. "Os.
triches can stand deal of cold, and I
am going to test this lot of birds this
year. think they'll breed here all
right. In few days will have Peta-
luna incubator all set up, ready
for Matching. feed the ostriches
on feed, grain. vegetables and grass.
Yes; they will eat nails, but I'd
rather they take something not quite so
long-glass, for instance. They swallow
such things to help themselves prepare
their food for digestion. It doesn't hurt
them," and he threw large California
onion to Gail Hamilton, who swallowed
it at gulp, and another and another,
until her distended neck looked like a
section of bamboo fishing rod with
the knobs six inches apart.

The Ice Invasion.

On both sides of the Atlantic equally,
the INTERPOLATION of fossilized forests
bears authentic witness to the sweeping
over the land Of two great waves of ice
invasion. The trees manifestly grew
where the glaciers had been; again the
glaciers crept forward to constitute
themselves the sepulchers Of the trees.
The second advance, however, fell short
of the first. and succeeded it at an un-
known interval of time. Opinions are
much divided as to its true significance.
DR.. Wright inclines to connect the ''forest
beds" with merely partial oscillations of
the ice front. Edinburgh Review.

The Salt Lake Road /.

The Salt Lake Road.
EDITORS HERALD: I have noted with
much pleasure the articles recently pub
lished in your paper in regard to the
building of the railroad from this city
to Salt Lake. am quite we'll acquainted
with large portion of the country such
a road would traverse, and can assure
you the statements made recently by Mr..
Barton are not at all overdrawn or ex-
aggerated. The mineral resources Of
that country are simply beyond compu-
tation, while the agricultural resources,
along the many fertile valleys through
which the road will naturally pass, are
unsurpassed in richness of soil, and
yield of product whenever cultivated.
The lead and silver ore Of Resting
springs, Groom, Oasis, Charleston
mountain and other districts ane very
extensive, and once q road is built
through that country, they could each
ship out millions worth OF ore annually
to any central point, where it could be
utilized by proper reduction works,
and Los Angeles is generally
conceded to be the coming place on
accound of it's railroad connections
and facilities for cheap fuel. There are
a number of we'll known men in your
own city who can corroborate all that
has been said in regard to the great
mineral wealth of that section ofcountry,
now lying idle. Among some of the
prominent mining men who are thor
oughly conversant with the resources OF
that country, could mention j. B. Os.
borne of Daggett, Charles N. Hossen,
Jim Ward, John Haley, ]. B. Slauson
and others of your own city; men well
known, and whose integrity is beyond
question.
We all hope the road will be built in
the near future, as it will surely open
up to settlement and development al
industrial field that will surpass in min.
eral wealth any other portion Of Califor'
mia or Nevada. Respectfully,
MINER,
