THE BOY KNIFEs A BEAR.
BUT HIS FATHER MoDEsTLY AP-
PRoPRlATES THE CREDIT.

A Tale Which Involves the Loss of Fine
Buck, the Death OF Good Dog and the
Anger of !,bncr Grmcs-It's a True Story.
and That's Its Chief Trait.
Abner Grimes is the politician of the
ridge. He has been constable, postmas-
ter, TOM clerk and justice of the peace.
He has his eye now on the legislature.
Statecraft is his hobby, but he mingles it
With lumber, agriculture and general
country store. His only recreation is
chasing the deer in the wildwood and
bunting coons. He has son Uriah.
Uriah is rising l6, and is 4 stub-and-twist
specimen of the true backwoods boy.
"'Riah." said Abner Grimes tue other

believe there's deer over back of the
mountain. Seems TO me as if it was q
buck, too"
''Well, pop" said 'Riah, "let's take the
dog and so fetch the deer in"
why, that's so!' exclaimed Abner, as
ifthe suggestion was sudden revelation
to him. I'VE can do that. can't we:"
So he took down his gun, called the
dog, and he and Uriah started for the
mountain, three miles away. 'Riah car
ried no gun, it being his duty to handle
the dog and drive for deer, while his
father stood on the ridge at a runway
and put lead in the deer when it came
bounding by him But Uriah had u big
hunting knife in n sheath at his side

said Abner. Don't waste time on any
fawns."
'Riah went off with the dog, and he
hadn't gone more than hundred yards
when the dog struck trail and away he
went. Riah followed, and in less than
ten rods came up with the dog. 1t might
have been a deer track the dog had
struck, but if it was it had led plump "

bear had his back against rock and his (
eyes on the dog The latter. emboldened |
by the presence of his master, pitched
into the bear.
The bear welcomed the dog TO his en-
brace, gave him q couple of sQueezes,
and tossed him off with such vim and
precision that his limp and almost des-
seated carcass just missed 'Riah's head
The dog was extremely dead.
'S-a-a-a-y!" said 'Riah, speaking to the
bear in tone of remonstrance. by
Jim! That was pops best dog. and.
tell you, he'll be madder'n thunderr'
Just then Abner's voice, mellowed by
distance, but very distinct withal, came
down through the woods from the run
way up on the ridge. 1t said:
Hay. 'Riah! Come up here with that
dog, quick!'
"yNeI." said 'Riah, still speaking to
the bear, 'if he 'spects me to carry that
dog up this ridge he's mistaken! But
won't he be madder'n thunder"
All this time the bear stood with his
back to the rock, his eyes swapping, and
his jaws dropping foam. 'Riah looked
at the unjointed body of the dog, and
then surveyed the proportions of its I'M
terrified unjointer. The latter got tired
of waiting, and moved forward to clear
the woods of 'Riah. 'Riah unsheathed

KANSAS CITY, August AT about
2 80 this afternoon well-dressed young
man entered the jewelry store of F. G.
Altman, in the heart OF the business
center Of the city, and asked to see some
diamonds. A tray, containing large
number of valuable set stones, was
placed on the table before him, and,
after examining them, he grabbed a
handful, bolted through the door, and
attempted to mount saddle horse
which he had left unhitched in front Of
the store. Before he could mount, how
ever, Altman was out and grappled with
him, but large revolver in the thief's
hands caused him to be somewhat diff.
dent about holding on. The thief ran
down the street, followed by large
crowd, but, after short dis
tance had been covered, he turned
and flourished his revolver in such q
thr eatening manner that most of his
pursuers gave up the chase. The bold
robber dashed into saloon, snatched a
hat from one of the inmates to replace
his, which had been lost in the scuffie,
end, running through an alley, entered
the basement of bookstore. He walked
leisurely up into the store and out to the
street, the clerks having no suspicion
that he was thief. Reaching Main
street he found hack, which he entered
and was driven away. Since then he
has not been seen. The value of the
stones taken was 81 500,

CONSIDERING the bellicose attitude o
Canada, which threatens to turn in and
whip the United States without regard to
Great Britain, the subject of arms and
armaments can fittingly engage the at
tention of the journals of this country,
and can much more fittingly appeal to
that of the government. 1t is really
curious the amount of caloric that has
been in the air, of late years. Wars and
rum ors of war come thick and fast. While
they will probably turn out to be the
merest vaporing, as respects this fair
land, all the same it is not q judicious
thing to leave the United States in a con-
dition in which it can neither take a
forceful and dienified aggressive action
nor defend itself on the high seas. The
extent to which modern naval armament
has been carried is not perhaps real
lied. even by intelligent Americans.
The latest wonder of the British navy,
the Benbow, is capable of sending q
six hundred pound shell from her
one hundred and eleven ton guns q dis
tance of thirteen miles. A fact like that
is of great significance to the denizens Of
such cities as New York and San Fran

THE proposition of calling a National
Arid Land Convention in Los Angeles is
not, it seems to us, receiving the atten.
tion it merits from the press of Califor-
mia. There is no reason why the National
Government should not spend many
millions of dollars, in addition to the few
hundreds of thousands of dollars already
appropriated for preliminary work, in
converting the millions of acres of land
on the Pacific Coast, which would other.
wise be worthless, into the grand office
of ministering to the national wealth and
well-being. With concerted effort on
the part of the press of Southern Califor-
mia We could get this Convention assem-
bled here, with incalculable benefit to
this section and to the nation.

ton of Congress and of the chief officers
of the Government, imparting to it Ma
tional character, and like recognition and
substantial aid having been extended to
the Worlds Fair in Philadelphia, also
with Chicsgo's cordial co. operation in

feels justified in insisting upon its turn
now, and upon the location of the next
great fair in its commercial metropolis.
An Executive Committee, consisting of
thirty-fve leading citizens, was appointed.

Net Abroad.

Net Abroad.
WASHINGTON, August 2.-The State De.
psrtment is in receipt of an exhaustive
report upon Russian agriculture and the
cereal trade, from United States Consul
General Way at St. Petersburg, He
says the exports of cereals from Russia
in the past two years, show abnormal in
creases due to three causes. First,
the enormous crops gathered
second the depreciation of the paper
rouble; and, third, the foolish
practice of the system of Corners" in
the United States. The arabic lands oil
European Russia, Mr.. Way says, exclud-
ing Poland, cover an area of 10000
square miles. The wheat growers OF
Kansas and Dakota will see at glance
that this large area of fertile territory,
with the cheap labor of Russia, will al.
ways prove to be 8 formidable rival, and
the merchants of Chicago and New
York, who imagine that by cornering the
wheat crops of the West they will con-
troll the markets of the world, can al
ways take into their calculations the pro-
duct of this country as an effectual
check to their operations. Every
"corner" engineered in the United States
makes an opportunity for Russia. Not
one dollar is added to the import wealth
of America, but the exports from our
country being stopped, Russia steps in
and gets rid of her surplus at remunera-
i've prices, but still far below the pro-
hibitive values established in Chicago
and New York. AS long as Russian
wheat exists, any attempt to force the
nations of Western Europe to pay arti.
fetal prices for American grain, can but
result in absolute failure. Perhaps if this
fact we're known corners would become
rare and infrequent,

THE accomplished and jovial gentle
men who compose the Gun Club of Los

sented to give the city right of way over
their duck preserve, for sewer purposes,

look gift horse in the mouth, but this
concession does not exactly group itself
in that category, as gentleman remark
ably we'll informed ia such matters is of
the opinion that if the whole property
belonging to the Club through which the
sewer would pass were put up at auction
it would not bring $4,000. We are not
ourselves versed in its value, but it looks
as if very exorbitant figure were being
asked for privilege of laying pipes
underground that would not scare either
a duck or brant away.

AN EDITORIAL KILLING.
A Newspaper War Most Tragically
Ended.

Ended.
JACKSON, Miss, August "A telegram
dated Rosedale, Miss, was received this
afternoon, announcing the killing of
Charles M. Hull, editor Of the Bolivar
County Democrat, by L. A. Weissinger, a
lawyer, today. Hull was prominently
connected.
Weissinger is editor of the Bolivar
County Review, published in the same
town. There had been editorial fights
between the men for some time. and the
ast issue of the Reuiew contained some
pointed rejoinders to previous re-.
marks in the Democrat. Yester-
days issue of the latter paper
contained the following on the editorial
page: "The publisher of the Democrat
assures Editor Weissinger that it will at
any time afford him qualification to mete
out full return for lacerated feelings
whenever asked, this either with bare
knuckles or at the end of glistening
horse. pistols; at the point of keenest
foils, or, if the gentleman bears the
Mahommedan idea, as he has proclaimed,
and would like to die as Moslem, we
will endeavor to secure the original
scimeter of Caleb and chop off his head
| with it's historical blade. In other words,
if Mr.. Weissinger at any time be con-
Stunning to fight Mr.. Hull, he can be &C
commodsted any day in the week, and
in half an hours notice, the Mississippi
river being convenient and boats plenti
full"
While Hull was returning from dinner
to-day, he was shot by Weissinger with
shotgun, the charge entering his breast
and killing him. Weissinger is in Jail.

Heading off specuiators.

BOISE Cry, Idaho, August 2.-The
convention took cognizance of the at
tempts of spectators to seize Bear
lake and Bear river, with other
streams and reservoir basins, thus
defeating the plans of the Government
in establishing storage reservoirs with
complete systems of irrigation for re-
deeming arid lands, and adopted
a memorial to the Secretary
of the Interior. The memorial
states facts showing how the
object of the Government is being
defeated by these spectators asks that
steps be taken at once to prevent the
people Of the Territory from being robbed
of these lands with valuable water rights,
and also asks that Bear lake be reserved
for storage basin. The lands around it
have been withdrawn from the market.
Bear lake is five by forty miles in ex-
tent, and is considered most magnif-
cent storage basin,

Canadian Road Relations.

CHICAGO, August PA Chicago spec.
ial from Washington says Chairman
Walker, of the Interstate Railway As.
sociation, in reply to a let.
ter from Senator Cullom, asking
his views on the railway relations with
Canada, has written, saying in sub.
stance that the Canadian lines operating
in the United States, affect the CONNER
cial or business interests of certain
parts OF the country favorably,
especially New England and other sec,
tions along the border. They affect busi-
ness interests in other parts of the
country to some extent unfavorably.
He thinks all that is required in the
way of regulators, would seem to be
some provision which should put the
Canadian roads upon an exact parity
with our own.

The wheeling Bank EmbeZzler
Makes a Confession.
WHEELING, w. Va, August 2.-Harry
Seybold, teller of the Bank of Wheeling,
who. with George Hennig, another en-
ployee, was arrested last night charged
with embezzling funds OF the bank,
made full confession this morning.
He exonerated Hennig. He took the
money on the 10th of last May. The
package contained $24 900 cash, and was
removed from the vault to Seybold's
home. There he kept it until June 9th,
when he deposited $4,000 in various
banks to the j,int credit OF himself and
Hennig, telling all who asked about it
that they won the money in the
Louisiana lottery. To Hennig he said
that he borrowed the money and in
tended to buy gold mine with it. About
$14 900 of the money has been recovered,
and property to about like amount has
been attached, so the bank is amply
protected.
Harry Seybold was released on bail
this afternoon. 1t is certain that Hen
mig is entirely innocent of criminal con-
nection with the theft, he having been
persuaded by Seybold to believe the
money had been drawn from the Louisi-
ana Lottery.
