THE GREAT RAPToR.
A Giant Eagle That Frequents the
Forests of the Philippine
Islands.

Wherever the great tropical forest
grows, whether in the old world or the
new, separate class of great forest
eagles seems 10 be produced. The
largest of all living raptors yet known
was discovered only six years ago, and
proved to be one of these forest eagles.
1t was found in the island of Samar

head, whose death in Hainan was lately
recorded. lie brought the skin back
to South Kensington, where it lies
among the treasures of the bird de-
partment. Nothing is yet known of its
habits; but the few natives who know
it say that it lives on monkeys. caught
on the tree tops. II seems almost in
credible that 50 large and interesting a
bird should not have been discovered
before. But the tropical forest is still
a possible place 10 find more giant
eagles. II is extremely likely that
some may be discovered haunting he

possible not to observe ii. But the
great height aud thickness Of the trees
make the birds above them invisible.
Mir. Salvin IN all his travels in those
regions only once saw wild harpy
eagle. In examining the skins brought
over TO this country, one is struck with
the astonishing thickness and strength
Of the wrists" and the size OF the tai
ons. Azara said that they "would kiln
animals of thrice their own weight"
But what is their weight? Mr.. White
head guessed that Of his great eagle at
io pounds. The harpy is not so large.
There is species Of harpy eagle in
Mexico which used to be tanned to take

A special from South McAlister
in the Kansas City Star says:
Tandy Folsom, sheriff of Blue
county, Choctaw nation, was found
dead in his bed in Durant yester-
day morning with a bullet hole
through his head and his gun lying
by his side. The gun was one be
had carried for years, and upon
the barrel were seventeen notches.
When drinking he boasted that
each notch counted for a man he
had killed with that gun. At one
time Folsom was an outlaw and
desperate. He was greatly feared
by his own people. He was vio-
lent and quarrelsome when in
liquor, and his boast OF having
killed seventeen men was not i'm
probable. OF late years be had
reformed and in a measure had
been an efficient officer. The man
had been drinking heavily for sew
days. No one heard the shot
which ended bis life.

The Platform adopted at Kansas
City favors 1.-THE reduction and speedy
repeal of the war taxes and return
to the time-honored Democratic policy
of strict economy in governmental ex-
penditures. This is an important
pledge, for the war taxes are coming
to he heavy burden. The Arkansas
say that the government put fne
upon the citizen
When he sends a telegram.
When he draws a check.
When he becomes a member Of a
corporation.
When he transfers his stock.
When he insures his life or house.
When he assigns his insurance.
When he makes a note TO raise
money f3r the payment of his other
taxes.
When he buys a money order.
When he executes a lease,
When he sends paid telephone
message.
When an indemnity bond is given.
When bill of exchange is drawn
When the citizen executes an in
strument necessary in the sale Of
merchandise on change.
When he ships goods by freight or
express.
When he clears vessel and files
manifest.
When he buys ticket to go abroad.
When he executes a power of attor-
ney.
When he buys proprietary medi-
cine.
When. he chews gum.
When he uses perfumes or his wife
INDUCES in cosmetics.
When a note is protested.
When a warehouse receipt is given.
When merchandise is entered at a
custom house.
These taxes are being felt by the
people. Under Republican policies
corporations escape the burden viii h
falls upon those least a BILE to bear the
burden.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

From the Atchison Globe
If a thoughtful man is frank with
himself when thinking of the past he
has great charity for young fools.
In summer time a man can't sleep
with the covers on and he doesn't feel
natural with them off, so in sum ner
time he doesn't sleep very we'll.
Every girl who pounds a piano should
be impressed with the fact that making
bread is not accompanied by a noise
that disturbs the neighbors.
The women are beginning to furnish
porches with tables and chairs, in
order that a man may have more fur
niture to fall over than he can fud in
the house.
Every mother feels that her daughter
in'law is not living up to her nuptial
promises unless she is constantly wor-
ryiDg about her husbands appetite,
Parents are so unsatisfactory to deal
with, even in novels, that when a
writer wants 70 treat a girl particu-
larly-well he makes her an orphan and
gives her guardian.
There is good deal of disgust ex-
pressed, An Atchison woman has been
boasting that she tainted while having
dress fitted recently. She appesred
in the dress the other day and it is
ocly cheap lawn.

enumerators, and it is found that they
are on the decrease, The census enu-

they were few years ago. Many of
the old men and squaws have died,
while very few have been born. The
Osages are the richest tribe of people

of the Sipes faction as 10 the irregular
methods attempted 10 be used in or

seats in the convention proves
nothing. The monstrous action OF the
