ameter Of nearly a foot.
The nautilus has in all periods Of it's
existence had a host Of relatives. Some
Of these appear, as might be expected,
to antedate its own advent The or
thoseras goes back into the cambrian
period. It had a straight shell, begin
ming when young with a nearly sharp
point, and, as age was attained, grow
ing longer and wider and adding new
chambers. The figure shows a portion
Of a fossilized orthoceras. On the right
we have the chambers, now filled with
rock, separated by the partitions. On
the upper side a portion Of the outer
wall OF the shell is seen. 1t is only
when this outer wall is removed that
the edges Of the partition can be seen.
On the left Of the figure the shell has
been split in the middle so as to show
the siphon. This is a common fossil
in our silurian rocks. Some species Of
0rthoceraS became gigantic in size. A
cast of one in the museum is nearly
nine feet long, and is only part Of
the shell. Another fragment, "the real
thing as visitors say, is over two feet
long. Some Of the close relatives of
the Orthocera and nautilus, connecting
links, are bent like cows horn. 9th
ers make about one complete turn. An
other stage of evolution is furnished
by the gyroceras, and from this to the
nautilus the transition is easy.
From the figures which have been re
ferred to it will be seen that the lines
where the edges of the partitions meet
the body walls form circles around
the shell, or at most are gently undu-
lating. In the case Of the tin horn
used for illustration the lines would be

silver Will Not Go Down.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-The following
was received from I. N. Stevens,
Vicc Chairman of the National Silver
Party: sIt was not free silver that
was beaten. It was the extreme and
impolitic planks of the Chicago plat
form that were showed under. That
platform arrayed millions of conserva-
tive business men against us who were
really in favor of free silver.
"Another powerful factor was that
the Democratic party went into power
four YEAR, ago with President and
both houses of Congress, and the pol
icy of the President and legislation
of the majority of the party in Con-
gress had uniformly been against the
people and in favor of trusts. The
American people wanted change,
and they evidently distrusted another
Democratic administration, however
strong its professions in the interests
of the people.

made shipment of cyanide zinc, on
Monday. We did not learn the value
but unders tand it was up in the thou

Work commenced on the 9th, on
the Grey Eagle mine to connect with

Election day passed off very quietly
in Cherry. The. vote being 81 for
Bryan and 4 for Mckinley.
L. L. Elliott of Ely, was visitor
in town Sunday and Monday. We
are always pleased to meet him in our
town.
Governor Adams passed through
town last Friday, on his way to Car
son, to vote for Bryan.
The dance given election evening,
in honor of the renewal of prosperity,
was thoroughly enjoyed by all who
were fer Inc enough to attend. The
music was all that the most exacting
would ask; it was rendered in good
form and was pleasant to all the dan
GERS. Messrs. Bambrick, Borchert
and Campbell, assisted by Miss M.
Borchert, formed tho orchestra, and
the melodious notes waited from their
instruments filled the hall with har-
meny and made glad the hearts of
the merry dancsrs. The supper serv
ed by the Wah restaurant appealed to
the eye as we'll as the inner-man and
the most fastidious could not find any
ground for complaint. The entire
success of this worthy and most happy
affair is due entirely to the efforts and
able management of Geo. F. Parker,
our genial fellow-townsman, who has
proven himself to be the ''boss" cater
er in the county. These parties will

dancing should not fail to attend.
