Costly Fare for Ostrichsa.

There was a happening at the Ari. zona ostrich farm recently which dis proves the theory that the ostrich is satisfied with eating nails, barbed wire and the like. 4 man who had visited the farm the day before discovered that his gold watch was missing. Thinking that he might have lost it at the farm, lie returned to look for it. When he arrived he enlisted the ser- vices Of youth and started in quest, without entertaining much hope of finding the watch.

In one bay, not shown on the maps or charts they discovered an immense glacier, not as large as the giant Muir, but much more grand and picturesque. The hay extends inland more than twenty miles and at point near tbe glacier q sounding line of forty fathoms did not touch bottom. This inlet they named Unknown bay. It was here that the Elder maneuyering among the cakes of ice broke from the glacier, broke propeller blade, making it peeessary to tStulh LO OiCds HutIS repairs were made.

Democratic Chairman is confident of lower
ing the Republican majority OF four years
ago. when Mckinley carried Rockbrldse
i.y over Geo majority. The Republican
chairman said his party will win by from
500 TO 500 majority. dependent somewhat
on the Gold Democrats.
As an indication of Bryan's gains here,
a poll made of the faculty OF Washington

of the fifteen professors, eleven declared
their intention 10 vote for Bryan, TWO
other will support him if they vote at all;
one will vote for Mckinley. and one Will
support neither Bryan nor Mckinley. Four
wears ago twelve of these gentlemen were
Gold Democrats and voted for Palmer;
two voted for Bryan. and one did not
vote. Their sentiments on the silver ques-

other conditions are paramount in this
issue, therefore they are against the Re-
