John II. Clarke of Cleveland will

While the platform contains 1000

only reference to national issues:
Assembled in convention at Colum-

OF 1908. we. the Democrats of Ohio, re-
affirming the declarations on national
issues OF our platform of 1902, adopted
at Sandusky, hereby renew our allegi-
ance to the Democratic party of the
nation and again avOw our devotion to
the principles of its last national plat
form. We accordingly condemn colo
nialism and Imperialism; denounce
trusts and trust fostering tariffs; re-
pudiate government by injunction and
oppose financial monopoly, together
with every other legalized monopoly
and special privilege. Adhering to
these principles of the Kansas City

sacrificed for the reelection of Hanna
as senator and the platform continues
By embodying in the new Ohio code
unwise and unjust provisions for the
regulation of street railroads Republic
| an managers have rendered competi-
tion more difficult and street car monop-
oily more secure. BY reserving to the
governor the power to appoint munic-
ipal officers in certain cases they have
dangerously concentrated the police
power and have complicated their mea
ger concessions of home rule with
tempting opportunities for interference
by the state government in the loca
affairs of cities and villages A prece
dent has thus been set that would al
together nullify the principle of home
| rule
The platform concludes: Unit
United States senators are required
by amendment of the federal consti

MARY MAcLANE AND A TIP.

Among the little foibles Of the
remarkable young lady from Butte
is one which is told by former Sec
retary of Edmund Clarence Sted-
man, who lunched with Mary Mac
Lane at a downtown restaurant re-
Gently. After lunch was over Mary
MacLane said to her friend:
"Now, you just let me fix the tip
the way l want"
Then Mary signaled the waiter
and, producing quarter, said
blandly:
"Waiter, I'll match you for the
tip"
With look of astonishment on
his face the waiter produced quar-
ter and laid it down. Mary won.
Then, with the same calm air, she
continued:
"Now I'll match you for that
quarter"
Mechanically the astounded wait
er deposited his quarter. Again the
luck favored Mary, and she quietly
pocketed the coin.
'Tou see, my DEAR" said she to
her companion, eve really do things
better in Butte. New York Times.

N IVORY ARROW.

An Eskimo arrow of walrus ivory
found imbedded deep in the breast
of Canadian gray goose is on ex-
hibition in gun store at Spokane.
The goose was shot few days ago
by John Cochran near Liberty lake.
As he picked up the big honker,
weighing fourteen pounds, he was
surprised to see a little piece of ivory
sticking out from its breast for two
inches.
With difficulty he pulled it out,
for the flesh had grown around the
object. Then he saw that it was an
arrow eight inches long and about
as thick as lead pencil. The carv-
ings on the stem where it was tied
to the arrow stick are still visible.
No arrow of the sort was ever
seen here before. The bird evident
~ carried it thousands upon thou
sands of miles from the far north,
where it was shot by some Eskimo.

less), tearing along the hall with
me after it. The blamed little thing
ran straight into the dining room
and was caught under the table by

Ballooninu In a Thunderstorm

Two German aeronauts, DIR. Mie-
the and Lieutenant Hildebrandt, re-
Gently had a remarkable experience
in the heart of a thunderstorm.
They ascended from Tegel at 3
O'Clock in the afternoon and, pass
ing through a mist, came suddenly
into a thundcrcloud. From height
of $50 feet the balloon was shot a
mile upward, and then as suddenly
it dropped half mile. They make
the curious statement that although
they did not see the lightning they
were deafened by the thunder, while
pelted with rain, hail and sleet. The
balloon leaped and plunged so swift
ly that at times the car was on
level with the gas bag and the tow
rope was above their heads. After
about half an hour of this expert
ence the balloon fell from height
of 1900 feet, descending upon
thick wood of beeches, branches of
which broke the fall and saved the
lives of the adventures.

Maximum Value of Land.

The maximum values of land in
the north Atlantic states were
reached i'll 1880, and the falling off
during the past decade has been
specially marked. In the south At
lantic and south central states farm
values reached high mark in 1860.
The heavy drop of ten years later
reflects the havoc of civil war. Since
that time the trend of values in
these states has been upward. In
the west the values have rapidly ad-
vanced. The only apparent excep-
ton is the last decade. But the low
er figures for 1900 are due to the
large amount of cheap land thrown
open to the public.-Mahin's Maya

in clocks, and several chronometers
have recently been imported from
Switzerland by NJ. Ilg, his Swiss ad-

seconds in two months. Ras Ma
