REMAINS OF MONSTER BIRD,
Valuable Discovery Made in Southern
Part of Argentine Republic
Larger Than the Dodo.

Brief informa ton of the. discovery
in Patagonia, or rather, of the south
ern part Of the Argentine Republic,
of part of the remains of an extinct
bird that, in size, outrivals any of the
forms known to science, either living
or extinct, has just reached the chief
ornithologist of the Smithsonian in
stitution, who regards the discovery
as one of the first Importance. The
details thus far received are to the
effect that a scientific party explor-
ing along the eastern foothills of the
Andes range unearthed from the
strata of the tertiary age the skull OF
what they at first took to be a gigan-
tic bird of prey, but on subsequent
examination they unearthed other
parts that caused them to change
their first view and reach the concM-
sion that the bird must have been q
water fowl. The size of this extinct
bird, which the discoveries named the
"phorarachis, is, according to the
reports, something amazing, it having
been at least fourth larger than the
"dodo" of Madagascar, q bird now ex-
tinct, but which until the finding OF
this Patagonian monster held first
| place for size in the list of birds liv'
| ing and extinct. The government or
nithologists are anxiously awaiting

The commoner.

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date oftthe first issue
a circulation of 1000 copies, a record
probably never equaled in the history
of American periodical literature.
The unparalleled growth of this paper
demonstrates that there is room in
the newspaper field for national
paper devoted to the discussion of
political, economic, and social prob
lens. To the columns CT the Common
er Mr.. Bryan contributes his best
efforts; and his review Of political
events as they arise from time to time
can not fail to interest those who
study public questions.
The Commoner's regular subscrip-
tion price is Sl.00 per year. We have
arranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the TWICE
A-WEEK PLAIN DEALER together fol
/ one year for $1.65. The regular sub
scription price of the two papers when
ubscrlbed for separated Y is $500.

Democratic State Platform.

We, the democrats of Iowa, in con-
yention assem- bled, rereby reaffirm the
principles of the democratic national
platform adopted at Kansas City, July
5, 1900, and without Surrendering our
convictions or abating our loyalty to
our national policies, we believe this
campaign to be particularly one that
should be confined to state issues.
"Resolved, That the sfhndamen tai
principle of democracy, equal rights
to all and special privileges to none,
applies in full force to the subject OF
taxation. The democratic party be-
neves that the burden of taxation
should be borne equally by all taxable
property. We pledge the members Of
the general assembly to formulate
and urge the adoption of such a law
as will compel the burdens of taxation
to rest on corporate and individual
property alike, without favor or eX-
emption of any interests.
k"We demand economy in the admin
istration of state affairs, the repeal OF
the mulct law, the enactment of 10.
cal option law, the abolition of offices
of state printer and state binder, ano
the contracting for supplies for the
state with the lowest responsible bid
der.
eve cordially invite all honest mel
of the state to unite with us in secur
ing the enactment Of these principles
into law"

the loose rocks and the lava, and the
rocky slopes of the creek are reached
then trouble begins. Sticks will get
lost now and again, as do golf balls,
and the shouting and yelling are
fierce until they are found. Some
times great fun is caused when both
sides are pretty nearly together. A
toss from each side will occasionally
land the sticks close together Then
look out for scrimmage! One SIDE
looking for the blue stick and trying
to toss kick it, the other for the red.
Over they go one over another, elbow

six or seven miles it is an exhausting
race, and the excitement as the goal
is neared is intense. Finally the stick
is kicked into the goal. In moment
one of the winning side grabs for the

allowed to. handle it since the race

Hence the great Importance at
tached to games and dances and races
that cultivate the physical powers.
To them, perhaps more than anything
else, we owe the preservation of some
of the Indian races.
A race that can be seen almost any
day during the summer at any of the
pueblos where there are number of
young men, or even boys, is the one
suggested by my title, and. called by
the Zunis Tikwahwi These, how
ever, are extemporized races, but
each year at Zuni there is set sea-
son in which the great Tikwahwi
takes place. There are two periods
of races, one when the Sun Cacieue
announces that the time for planting
the corn, etc, in the fields has ar
rived, and the other when the Off
cial announcement is made by the
public herald, or crier, from the
housetops that all the planting has
been done. The first races are the
ceremonial ones, but these are moth
ing like as exciting as those that
take place when the planting is done
and the men are mostly at leisure.
The race consists in two sides kick.
! ing, or, more accurately, tossing
| with the toes two small sticks over
! prescribed course. Each side has
/ from three to six or even more par
Elephants, and each stick is so painted
or marked that it can readily be dis
cerned. This stick is required to be
the size of the middle finger of tn.
shaman, or medicine man, who pre-
pares it. The art of the game con
sists in SO kicking the stick that 9th
sr members of the same side who are
on ahead can Immediately wriggle il
over the prescribed course. Each side
attends strictly to its own business
and | have seen one side get so fol
ahead of the other as to leave 1t from
half a mile to mile behind.

sign by the faculty last spring, says
the New York World During the
syeek, the various classes have met and
decided to place stringent rules oyer

President Seth Low, in an effort to
forestall a repetition of last seasons
occurrences, has addressed a note to
each of the undergraduate body in
which he calls attention to the spirit
of the resolution they signed and asks
their continued cooperation.

The wagers are all placed in front

would surprise an old junk dealer to
see what variety of things these
Indians can scrape up for this pur-
pose.
Now the whole crowd crosses the
creek to the beginning of the course.

A ROMANTIC CAREER.
Spectator and Husband of Duchess
Ends Up as Marine. :,
r.. L. Dwyer. Former Chicago Million
ARE, Anxious to Secure His Re-
lease from the Navy in Order
to Begin Life Over Again.

! Edward L. Dwyer, once malhonaare
mine owner, promoter and bold specu-
lator in wheat, who startled even Chi
cago by his daring, and who later mar
ried a duchess worth millions OF doI
lars, sailed into the Brooklyn navy
ward the other day marine on the
United States transport Calgoa.
Dressed in his natty sailor suit, his
face bronzed by the Philippine sun,
his muscles hardened by work, Dwyer
looked little like a dashing Spectator
and husband of a duchess.
Dwyer has been in the service OF The
United States since July 81, 1900, when
penniless, disinherited by his aged
wife, tired of wandering, he went to
Harrisburg and enlisted in the marine
corps. The term Of enlistmenti is three
years, but Dwyer has influences at
work in the navy department, and
there is little doubt that his early dis
charge will be secured.
DIVER first attracted attention in
1886, then member of the Chicago
board of trade, by purchasing 100000
bushels of wheat for future delivery

New York in 1894, representing west
ern mining interests, he met the
Duchess de Castelluecia, whose hus-
band had died only short while be-
fore, leaving her fortune estimated
at 100000. She was more than 40
years older than Dwyer, but he won
her, and the two were married at Rock
Ridge, Fla, January 20, 1895.
The duchess died soon after the we'd
ding, leaving the bulk Of her fortune
to her two children. Dwyer received
$4,000.
Dwyer then started on the road to
financial ruin through speculation,
and in May, 1899, he found himself pen
niless. He filed petition in bankrupt
cy in New York, with liabilities OF
$252,055 and no visible assets. But
Dwyer within year had organized a
company with capital of $1,500,00c
to. develop silver mines in zacatecas,
Mexico. Apparently this scheme was
not successful, and year later he was
again penniless. 1t was then that he
enlisted and was assigned to service
in the Philippines.
While Dwyer was in the Philippines
he looked about him for favorable in
vestments and he thinks enterprise
there will open the way to fortune. 1
is said that the bronzed marine will gt
back to the islands Immediately upoI
receiving his discharge.

Then, too, they lived in barren,
inhospitable country where every
good thing has to be wrested from the
soil by hard labor. What use for such
life would individuals be who were
weak and puny? None whatever. So
from earliest babyhood everybody was
trained, as religious duty, and to
look upon it as such, to make his body
strong, to develop his lungs, his pow
ers of endurance.
This is the key, also, to much of the
so-called stoicism and Indifference to
pain shown by an Indian. He must be
able to suffer and endure hardship, or
he could never live through the life
that nature had allotted TO him.
