All in the stomach Of an Ostrich.

An ostrich which recently died full
of years mad an extraordinary collec-
ton OF articles in its stomach. Some
of these were more suitable for gun

tough and adapted 70 the digestion Of
obdprats food. But the strangest Of
all, tossing about in the gastric juices,
was prayer book. Tho scoffing may
say it was a very orthodox bird. and q

period affords hope to careless people

however, is not the usual way in which
pocket money goes. There are msuy

SIR GEORGE TYRON.
The Farons Admiral Who Went Down
With the Victoria.

Vice Admiral Sir George Tyron, who
went down in the wreck of the British
battleship Victoria, was one of the best
known men in the British navy. He
had vast experience, his service begin
ming in the days before steam was a
prominent feature in naval architec-
ture and running through all of the
various phases of development that
were marked by the substitution of
steam for sail power, of iron for
wooden hulls, of steel for iron, of tur-
rets for broadsides and of arlnor for
thin sheathing. He was a man who
had earned the highest honors within
the gift of the British nation. His
name appears on the naval list away
back in the days of the Crimean war,
where he served in the naval brigade
before Sebastopol during the winter Of
2s5354 in the trenches, where he was

EVERYONE who pays rent fixed
by the terms of a lease, under the
operations of the gold standard or
of the falling prices that result
from its adoption, is bearing an OBJ
legation whose extent increases
yearly. The amount is fixed, it is
true, but the landlord is able to
buy or invest more with it to the
extent of from 10 to 20 per cent.
per year. That's the single stand

IT WILL cost in the neighborhood

IT WILL cost in the neighborhood
of $112,000,00O to recoin the silver
money as will have to be done if a
change of ratio is made between
gold and silver. This would be a
useless expenditure. You could
not buy a cents worth more of
goods with a larger dollar. There
is enough silver in the present dol
lar-16 to 1 being about the ratio
at which gold and silver are pro-
duced-the only trouble being that
there are not enough dollars. If
the government can make a piece
of paper worth only fraction of a
cent, worth dollar, it can certain
ly make 4124 grains of silver,
which it costs from 81 to $3.50 to
produce, worth dollar. The ratio
of 16 to l should not be disturbed.

SENATOR HILL made his first bid

SENATOR HILL made his first bid
for southern support in 1896 when
he introduced bill in the Senate
this week for the repeal OF the Fed
eral election laws. He had previ-
ously introduced a resolution to
confine the legislation of the extra
session to matters relating directly
to the finances of the country.

GOLD BUGS tell US that the Sher-
man law is the cause of the hard
times and financial distress, but
they have never told us how it has
wrought all the evil, nor can they.
The crime of 1873 is what is caus.
ing the trouble, just as banker Seyde
of London said it would when he
was working for its passage. Not
one sound argument has been ad'
vanced to show that the repeal Of
the Sherman law will benefit the
country one bit.

THERE should be no change In
the coinage ratio. The people OF
the east are beginning to find out
that they must have more money
to transact business with, but they
are still SO hoggish that they do
not want anybody but themselves
to be benefited, and are therefore
advocating a ratio anywhere from
20 to so to ! with free coinage at
those figures. Free coinage at 20
to l would give the country consid-
cradle more money, and would help
out all industries in the south and
east, but what about the silver
miner? 1t would put silver at
$1.03 when at par, and only the
best mines could be operated at
such a price for bullion. With the
ratio fixed at 20 to / there would
be but little chance in the future Of
again reducing it to 16 to l as the
fasteners would then say that any
attempt to change the ratio would
come from selfish motives of the
silver mine owners. They would
have what they wanted and the
devil might take the miners.

NEwLANDs has made the most
convincing argument for free coin

him, since hearing his speech, that
they had learned something. As
soon as possible Newlands was shut
off in his speech, for fear he might
rout the gold bug forces complete

DAN voorhees, read letter this
week giving the loss that will be
sustained by a change of ratio al
$112,766,321. Jack, the financial
ripper, is right on this proposition
and the first time he has been right
since he abandoned his country fol-
Cleveland and Wall street. But he
fails to figure out the loss the peo'
pie will sustain by the destruction
of all ratio, for which he is now
working.-Silver State.

Our representatives in Congress
were all elected upon a platform
that contained plank demanding
free coinage at a ratio of 16 to /,
and we hope to see them stand on
this plank until it floats into the
harbor of victory, or is forever lost
in the ocean of unrighteous oppo-
sition. No compromise. Rather
let the east have little more taste
of hard times.

SENATOR VEST is said to have
sworn mighty Missourian oath
of enmity to Mr.. Cleveland because
he lately said of Vest; ooh, a lit
tie patronage is all that Vest wants
to make him vote all right" The
language was reported to Vest, and
is said to have been the moving
cause of his speech attacking Mr..
Cleveland for the financial position
taken in his message.

IT HAS always been understood
that the eastern people have been
greatly prejudiced against the sill
yer dollar on account of its size
and inconvenience. Now many OF
them are advocating changing the
ratio between the two metals-gold
and silver-so that the size of the
dollar will be increased anywhere
from one-ffth to one-third. They
are strange people.

voorhees, won't do for silver men
to tie to. He says he believes Cleve-

"A FRENCH SURPRISE.

Judge French. Fiftieth Birthday An
niversary Celebrated.
Judge Erastus D. French was COM
pletely surprised last Friday evening.
Judge French is the hero of seven
teen battles, and Friday made him
master of 50 birthdays. The approach
of the latter would naturally set Mrs.
French to devising some scheme
whereby the occurrence might be
made memorable. and the enviable
record of her lord as a soldier in de-
fense of the Union, would naturally
lead her into the idea of making the
celebration, partake of the flavor oi
the lively times of '61-'62- -'63 and "a
And so the members of John S. Marsh
Post, together with the ladies of the
Women's Relief Corps, were quietly
extended an invitation to be present
en- masse that evening.
Judge French always comes ove1
town evenings, and on this particular
evening, he insisted on coming over
But Mit. Jones dropped in and 70
quested the Judge to put an old vi
olin in shape. Mr.. French spent som'
time in doing this, but q moment af

five being myself, William Steele, b.

L. Gilbert. Of course, A. D. Stewart
was there, but he is not a member OF
the company. Nevertheless Andrew
and Gilbert wrote seven names on
slip of paper and passed the slip to
me and moved that the secretary cast
vote for the seven men whose names
they had written down, knowing that
| if they did not resort to some trickery
that they could not carry their point.
l looked at the names, and said that
they could not be admitted as John
Price was not member of the com
pany ,and according to our laws could
not be director c. 81. Struckman
was put on in place of John Price. |
then said to Andrew Stewart he could
not be director for the same reason,
but Andrew was not going to be SO
easily put off and said that his father
was member of the company and
that he had an interest in the proper
ty insured. Andrew had started out
for office and he was bound to have
it. Now. if O. B. Turrell had kept
out of Andrews way last falI,it would
have saved us lots oftrouble. Andrew
should get special law made to suit
his case. That finished the election
of directors. if election it can be
called.
Following the election Stewar1
asked Gilbert when the directors
meeting would be held. The latter re
piled on the following Saturday il
Redwood Falls. But it was not hele
until Monday, Jan. 9th, when onl,
:. three members of the company, Mes
: srs. Gilbert, Barber and Struckmanr
were present. Of ourse,Andrew wa
there, but he is not policy holder il
the company, and while we mus
make concessions to him because
j. would be unkind to bring him dow
