AN unfortunate case of cliattel mort
gage complication occurred ut Hamilton
last week. Mr.. e. W. Clark hired several
men to so with him and haul wheat from
a granary OIL land belonging To Mr.. 7. w.
Wright west of Hamilton. Mr.. Clark
claimed the wheat under IL cl,attcl mort
gage executed by one Mcguire who has
left the country. Mr.. Wright says the
wheat was raised by himself OH his own
land and the wheat belongs to him
though Mcclure had originally rented
and cultivated the land. Mr.. Wright
and some ne,ghbOrs surrounded Mr..
Clark and assistants and caught some OF
the latter in the granary and closed the
door OH them. Mr. Clark got away and
the assistants were arrested for stealing
wheat. of which oftourse, morally speak
ing. they are not guilty. 1t will prob.
ably be finally settled by the courts as
to whom the wheat belongs.

Mr.. Joseph Ewing who has been work.
ing on the Manitoba grade near Cry
was in town on Wednesday. Mr.. Ewing
says that the grade is nearly finished
from Grafton to Crystal and will pass
within quarter of mile of Crysta
postoffice. As to its being ironed this
fall, it is said that assurances have beer
given that the iron and ties have beer
ordered and if the material can be gotten
in time that the track will be laid. 1t il
said that the right-of-wav men, have
agreed to give bond for damages to par
ties whohad given them land, if the
road was not in running order in ten
months. This road is to be graded
straight north from Crystal eight miles tc
the coulee, and from there the route is as
yet uncertain. So it looks something like
a railroad after all out there.

Hon. Judson LaMoure-No, I don't
think there will be any trouble in pass
ing strict law for the enforcement Of
prohibition. The republican party in
North Dakota was pledged to enforce it
if it should carry, and any attempt at
evading or Sinking the responsibility
now would be suicide. A large number
of the legislature are avowed prollibi.
tionists; and the republican members
who are not prohibitionists. are either
expressly pledged to enforce It. or virtu.
ally pledged by the prohibition plank in
the party platform. They cannot afford
to ignore such pledges, and believe that
they will be true to them, and enact a
stringent law for the enforcement of the
amendment-Fargo Republican.

An Absent Minded Man.

Cincinnati has the champion absent
minded man. A gentleman living in the
suburbs went in a store on Walnut street
to make a few purchases The only
light In the store was a candle standing
on the counter near the money drawer.
After making his purchases he handed
the proprietor a bill, and after returning
HIM the change the proprietor walked to
the rear of the store to arrange some
thing, when suddenly he was left In the
dark. He started toward the counter,
and, cropping around it, found, not the
candle, but the change. 1t struck him
then that probably the man, In a fit of
absent mindedness, had taken the candle
instead of his change. He started out
after him, and, catching up with him,
saw that he had the bundle In one hand
and the candle In the other. After apol-
ogizing for the mistake thelstranger took
his change and gave back the CANDLE

OF a sedate but cunning dog out in
California this story is told, On one
occasion n rabbit was started, and all
the dogs with the exception of Bonus
dashed off in full pursuit. We were
astonished to observe hat he, foregoing
the intense excitement of the chase, de-
liberately trotted by a short cut-t q
hollow oak trunk, and crouching at its
base calmly awaited the coming of the
fleeing rabbit. And he was not disap-
pointed, for the pursuing dogs pressed
the rabbit 80 hard that after making a
long detour, it approached the place of
refuge. As 1t was about entering the
hollow trunk, Bonus sprang up and cap
tured 1t. Now, this old dog was used to
hunting rabbits in that field, and knew
that the rodents were in the habit of
flying for safety to that hollow tree.
Moreover, this story is true.-Philadel-

r.traoraInary Canning perotIon.

The residence of Enoch McMahan, an
old and highly esteemed farmer, near
Anderson. Ind, was burned. All the
family, except the old man, were away
at singing school at the time, and he
persisted in the flames, his half consumed
body being dragged from the burning
building with poles by the first persons
TO arrive after the fire was discovered.
1t has been n question as to whether or
not the old man was murdered and the
house robbed and burned to conceal the
crime. Leastwise, when the neighbors
gathered they found Uncle Enoch's dog,
Mingo, bowling dismally about the
burning building, and from hat day to
this the faithful animal has never left
the place. Tho house was never rebuilt,
and 10 m has since lived on the farm,
yet "Mingo" fingers about the ruins and
until recently slept in rain and snow.
For months kind hearted people carried
him food and water, and they built him
a comfortable house on the spot where
his master was burned, and like n hermit
he stays there day and night, respondent

When visiting n friend last summer he
called my attention to n curious plan for
preventing the plague of flies in his
house. The upper sash of one of the
windows in his sitting room being open
for ventilation, there was suspended out
side n piece of common fishing net. My
friend told me that not n fly would ven
ture to pass through it. He has watched
for an hour ut n time, and seen swarms
fly to within n few inches of the net and
then, after b~uzzing about for n little, de
part. He told me the flies would pass
through the net If there was n thorough
light-that is, another window in the
opposite wall. Though the day was very
warm, | did not sec n single fly in the
room during my visit, though elsewhere
in tho town they were to be seen in
abundance. suppose hey imagine the
net to be n spiders wei, or some other
trap intended for their destruction.
My friend mentioned the curious fact
that in Russia no wolves will pass under
telegraph wires, and hat the govern
ment are utilizing this valuable dis
covcry, and already clearing districts of
the country from these brutes. Notes

A WARRIORS Matrimonial rnte.

Walking along Lake Shore with an

for money every time, / had some new
and valuable light shed upon the ques-

The cat has ever been regarded US a
mysterious creature and has of n Conse-
quence been Stunned, as amateur swim
mers avoid deep holes, by the youth of
our land in their literary efforts. The
dog and the horse are VIGOROUSLY what
are termed ''old stand bys" as subjects
for composition, but it ~isnoteworthy that
the cat, though oven more familiar to all
han either of the aforementioned ami
mails. is neglected in all Friday afternoon
literature. The kitten is much beloved
by reason Of its frivolous and gay nature.
Its propensity to amuse itself with any
light object or, in default Of other NOV
ables, its own leeting tail endears it TO
all young persons, but there is an I'M
natural gravity and air of absorption in
deep philosophical matters about the
mature cat which is forbidding, not to
say awe inspiring. Itmay be that its I'M
canny nature has caused It to be associ-
ated with witches. Certainly its habit of
being out at all hours of the night gives
color TO the suspicion that it is a balcful
beast a cat nets as If it knew that the
disclosure of its secrets would result in
death to all its kind at the hands OF an
enraged humanity. Now there is some
thing frank and open hearted about a
dog. He may bite an enemy, but n cat
will scratch its dearest friend. A dog
cannot keep n secret. A cat never tells
one.-Chicago Mail.

The Paris Exccutioner.

There has been considerable talk about
Deibler's want of dexterity in dispatch
ing Prado. After every execution we
hear the same thing, for Deibler Is a
little, h~esitating man, with anything but
an impressive way of doing business.
His appointment as executioner caused
many hc~artburnings, for, when Helm
drichs died. there were 800 applications
for the post. Dcibler has married the
daughter of Roch, the previous "Afon-
sieur de Paris" He had also served as
assistant To Hendricks, and had made
several important improvements in the
mechanism OF the guillotine. Consider
ing his familiarity with blood, he is n
very nervous man, and he has never for
gotten Tropman's biting off Hendricks
fingers during the operation of adjusting
the lunette. Tho fact is that it IL very
difficult in fitting tho basculo to so work
1t that the neck of the condemned man
falls exactly into tho hollow of the
lunette 30 that the blade should strike in
