MOSQUITO CANOPY FRAME.

A Nebrasxan on Bryan.

"The greatest mistake Bryan ever
made" says Ex-Governor James E.
Boyd of Nebraska, and the only Demo-
cratic executive the state ever had,
was to require the Kansas City con-
vention to reiterate the 16 to l silver
free coinage plank. He emphasized 1t
beyond all others. thus doing what the
Republicans would have him do. 1t
will cause Bryan's defeat under heavier
majorities than were given four years
ago. 1t was sheer idiocy. Money was
never so plentiful and the interest rate
never so low. Prices of farm prod
ucts were never better, and the produc-
ers are getting gold money for their
products. Prosperity, everywhere in
evidence, cannot be talked down. 1t

War Kites in south Africa.

A number of war kites were taken
to the front in South Africa by Major
Baden-Powell, a brother of the de-
fender of Mafeking, and proved ex-
tremely useful. There was great re-
luctance on the part of the higher o.
ficials to permit these kites to go to
the seat of war, and after a direct re-
fusal, Major Baden-Powell was COM
PEELED to smuggle them through as
medical comforts" The kites, once
in the field, were used for taking
photographs from high attitudes
which proved particularly valuable.
1t was, however, to support the YER
teal wires used in the wireless tels e.
raphy, that the kites were employed
most advantageously, as neither poles
nor balloons were prepared for Mr.
Marconi's assistants when they arriv-
ed at the scene of the war. The kites
were used to raise the wires aloft, d
the messages were transmitted over a
distance of eighty-five miles. Major
Baden Powell's efforts were purely
personal, and in spite of tradition ~
governmental opposition proved oil
great assistance TO the army.

no figures on swine are given for 1900.
But as the value of swine in Arkansas
according to the Department of Agri-
culture for 1893, was $f,6S9, 1867, and
and in 1897 had fallen to $3.196, 36l,

Looking at the above figures, seeing
Arkansas, first in illiteracy, lowest in

every other southern state is wonder
fully increasing. it is seen why Senator
Jones of that state was selected above
all others to lead in the Democratic
presidential campaign of calamity and
disaster to American industries, prog
ress and prosperity. He is the fitting

is caused by the closing of the external
auditory canal by an accumulation OF
wax. This shuts off the air, and either
in that way or by direct pressure in
terferes with the elasticity of the
drumhead, so that ordinary sound
waves are not perceived.
A boil in the canal will interfere
with hearing in the same manner, but
the pain is so intense that little
thought is given to the deafness; and
the same is true of a foreign body in
the ear. The most serious form OF
deafness, and fortunately the least
common, is that due to Inflammation
or other disease in the internal ear.
The usual cause of chronic deafness
is disease in the middle ear, by which
the drum membrane is destroyed o.

of bones broken or made rigid.

MAN AND BEAR FALL TO DEATH
After a Fight on n Cliffs Edge Thew
Crash to Rocks 600
Feet Below.

Albert Young, hunter, whose
home is in Vancouver, B. c., met a
horrible death as the elimination. of
a long and terrible hand-to-hand fight
with a grizzly bear. He was killed
about 1870 miles from Vancouver, near
Harrison lake. The hunter, who was
but young man of 23, was away up
on the side of the mountain above the
Indian village of Douglas, when his
dogs scented a grizzly, which was en-
camped for the winter in a hollow
stump. The grizzly was large fe-
male, and, once disturbed, she was
soon thoroughly aroused and enraged
and made straight for the young
hunter. The youth fired two shots,
one of which evidently missed, while
the other broke the bears left
shoulder. .-
During the progress of the fight
man and bear approached nearer the
edge of a cliff. They locked in what
proved to be the death struggle and
must have slipped over the edge, for
the bruised and battered remains of
hunter and bear were found on the
following day by a searching party of
Indians at the foot of the cliff, 600
feet below.

FIND RICH I REAS JJRE.
Workmen at Mexico City Uncover
Remains Of Aztec Temple.
Idols, Richly Ornamented in Gold,
Jade Beads and Other Objects of
Great Value and Archaeology
ical Interest Taken Out.

What promises to be the richest
and most important archaeological
discovery on this continent was made
a few days ago by Workmen in. a sewer
excavation Immediately back Of the
cathedral in the City of Mexico. Two
. OF the chain of Is chapels which sur
rounded the great Aztec temple which
stood at, the time Of Cortez' conquest
have been found. Only the tops Of
the towers have as yet been uncov-
cred, but other articles found are
conclusive evidence that the buried
Teocall has at last been uncovered.
'" a great quantity of objects pertains
ing to the old temple have been taken
out in the last few days, including
idols of all sizes, some richly orna-
mented with gold; gold objects, pure
jade beads, sacrifcial knives, censors,
fragments of copal, the incense
burned by the Aztecs, masks, date
stones, carved slabs of stone, colored
brilliant and beautiful as they were
four centuries ago, and stone and
metal objects of many kinds. making
altogether several wagon loads.
President Diaz was quick to grasp
the Importance of the discovery, and
upon his recommendation 100000
has been appropriated to continue
the work of excavation. An area cov-
ering 20 acres, including the main
plaza of the city and the cathedral,
which is thought to cover part of the
buried Aztec Teocali: will be ex-
cavated. The temple itself may be
found, as may the lost treasure of
Montezuma.
From the gold objects already
taken out this hope seems likely to be
realized. In any case the value of the
objects taken out is sure to be many
times the cost of excavation. 1t is
thought by the scientific men in Mexi-
co that the richest mine in the world
lies under the present cathedral, the
largest church eGifice in America
