Polar Bear Shooting.

The captain and I have just finished
sur dinner-I may mention IN passing
that we are so far fashionable that we
seldom dine before s or 10, sometimes
not till next day-when Hans, one OF
the shooters, comes in to say that that
there is a bear close by. We Jump up,
get our rifles, and start off, at our lels-
ure, be it said, for there is no hurry
the bear is engaged on the carcasSes Of
some seal, the remains Of our last
catch. We soon see and make to-
ward him, but the ice is uneven, and
we are obliged to take our time. At
last we mount a high hummock and the
bear catches sight of US. We lie down,
and without hesitating he comes
straight in our direction with his slowly
swaying gait; a well-grown fellow he
is, snd gets over the ground with speed,
although he seems to be taking it so
quietly. He is already behind the
hummcck Immediately in front of US,
not fifteen yards away. There is his
head visible over the edge, but we dc
not fire, as that is all we can see OF
him, and he does not run away. A
fne head it is; too, the forehead as
broad as barn door, not to exagger-
ste. BE rolls it backward and for
ward for a little while, then disap-
pears altogether. We hold our rifles
ready, FOR it is impossible to, know
Ehsre he may show himself next. Yes,
there is his whole body appearing on
the side of the hummock, his breast
toward us. Both our shots go off to-
gether, the bear growls, bites his breast,
staggers back couple Of PAGES, and
then falls. He soon draws his last
breath. lie was a very large animal,
2 feet y inches long, and in such good
condition that anybody who had not
seen him would hardly believe that the
layer of fat on his body was in some
places three to four and half inches
thick, and the intestines were IL
rounded and interviewer with fat. dc

each other, and had penetrated the

Where the Snake Boards.

The prairie marmot and the bur
rowing owl come into neignboIly
contact with the rattlesnake, but
the acquaintan does not quite
amount to friendship. The prairie
ma,mot takes lot Of trouble and
builds a nice burrow, and then the
owl, who is only slovenlY sort OF
architect himself, comes along and
takes apartments. 1t has never been
quite settled whether or not the
lolger and the landlord agree
pleasantly together, but in the abb
sence of any positive evidence they
may be given credit for perfect amia-
bility, because nobody has found
traces of owl in dead marmot's in
terror, nor of marmot iE an OWLS.
But the rattlesnake is another thing.
He waits till the residence has been
made perfectly comfortable, and then
he comes in himself, not in the
friendly capacity Of a lodger, but as q
sort of unholly Writter-a scaly man
in possession. He eats the marnot's
family and perhaps the marmot him
self. curling himself up comfortably
In the best part Of the drawing room.
The. owl and his belongings he
leaves severely alone, but whether
from doubt as TO the legality Of dis
training upon the goods of lodger,
or from a certainty as to the lodger's
goods including claws and beak,
naturalists do not say Personally I
incline very much to the claw and
beak theory, having seen al owl Kill
snake in a very neat and workman
like manner, and indeed the rattle

BLAND PLOTTING.
He Expects to Control the PertIe
Springs Convention.

PERTLE SPRINGS, Mo-, Aug. s.
Silver Dick Bland arrived here today
to lead the forces and frame the reso-
lutions which will be adopted by the
Democratic silver convention, which
meets tomorrow. The advance guard
is small one, not more than a dozen
delegates being here, and, barring
Senator Cockrell, who lives here, Bland
is the only star attraction on the
ground. Bland, however, has already
thrown down the gauntlet to the anti
silver element in the Democratic state
central committee. and it may result
in considerable friction, if nothing
more. Mr.. Bland had not been here
half-hour when he was out in the
declaration to a few trusted friends
that the time has arrived when the
silver men should assume control of
the party machinery. For publication
he refused to talk, but the statement
of his declaration of war is correct.
1t has excited lively comment This
declaration is interpreted to mean that
he proposes TO fight the old committee,
and endeavor to ouSt them and
secure a new committee favorable to
the white metal. Mr.. Bland is of the
opinion that the convention will con-
clude its work by Wednesday after
noon easily, and that it's final results
Will be most gratifying to the friends
Of silver, who hold that the ratio Of
Is to 1 is the proper basic point upon
which to go to the nation for the fight
for free and unlimited coinage Be-
yond this the eX-congressman will not
go. AS the probable selection of the
state central committee for temporary
chairman Of the state convention:
Bland is reserving his fire until to-
morrow. He will speak about an hour,
and as it is quite probable that in ad-
dition to acting as temporary chair
man. he also will be chairman of the
to submit for the affirmative to the
silver men a platform that will ring
with the express declaration of 16 to 1.
1t mas been suggested that he proposed
to incorporate a plank denouncing the
national administration. The state
central committee will meet in the
morning to decide on the temporary
organization of the convention, which
will be convened at noon. new
scheme developed today whereby the
silver men intend to secure the state
machinery and a majority of the state
committee. The plan is to let the
present committee remain and to elect
one new member from each of the
fifteen congressional districts and three
from the state at large, making a com
mittee of thirty-four members, instead
OF sixteen, as at present. Then the
committee would be in a position to
force the fight in the next convention
on silver lines.
