cal expedition to Central America.
according to a letter from Carl c.
Bishop, one of the party, to friends

way, however, DIR. Merwin did some
work of real value. and a cruise of
six hundred miles over the open sea
in a fifteen-ton sloop is an interest
ing experience in itself. Among our

a man tortured to death by the In
dams It is rather a CHASTITY thing in
its way"

that two mile race is as great or

at a confidence next Tuesday after

Other matters that Will be talked

elimination of the district believe the

completion of the river front park

city could proceed have been dis
