A Very Good Dog Story.

The following dog story is absolutely
true, the occurrence having come under
the observation of the physician at Old
Orchard and related to the attorney upon
honor: An intelligent dog was afflicted
by feas. They clouded his existence, If
we may believe appearances, since four
6fths of the time the intelligent dog was
tied up in a double bow knot fighting
the smaller and less intelligent but more
nimble flea. He had chewed the hair
from his sides, and his eye was lack
luster. The NANCY canine decided to
take a bath in the ave Of the ocean,
and in doing 80 discovered that as the
sea water heightened upon his legs and
sides and back the fleas fed before it as
ever the wicked flee.
Soon after the dog was seen backing
out INTO water, a smile growing over his
c~ountenance as an idea took possession
of him. He vas next seen with a huge
wad of cotton in his mouth. With this
lifted aloft he backed out. The fleas
crawled higher as the sea water rose
about him. They occupied his back and
then his head, made uncomfortable as
they were by the salt water. Then at
last, as the dogs head sank very slowly
beneath the waves, the multitude va
Gated it, jumping to the wad of cotton
that was floating just at the dogs nose.
The fleas floated away forever on the
tickle wad of cotton, while the dog
swan ashore, to be forever embalmed in
history by the story of the doctor and
the lawyer and the newspaper.-Christ-
ian at Work.

Col. Thas. II. Price Killed.

SoDALIA, Mo-, Nov. Cool. Ihos. B.
Price, president of the Gazette Printing
company Of this city, owner OF the Van
dale farm and one of the best known
men In Missouri, was shot and MORALLY
wounded at 5 p. m. today by Judge Jno.
Higgins OF the Pitts county court. Both
men were en.route to their homes or the
Missouri Pacific train. Judge Higgins
was a candidate for denomination before
the democratic county convention and
defeated by Price. Since then he has
entertained a bitter feeling against Price.
The two men were in this city IN bust
ness today and took the 4 p. m. train for
their homes. Just what led to the trouble
is not known, but Price and Higgins en-
gagged in a quarrel.
Higgins drew his revolver and shot
Price in the abdomen. Price was taken
to his home at Houstonia, where Hig-
gins also lives. Higgins gave himself up
to the authorities at that place and the
sheriff here received a message this even
ing summoning him to go after the pris-
one at once as fears of lynching are en-
tertained. Price Is o very prominent
Mason and is very popular among alarge
following. A special train has gone
from here bearing physicians to attend
the wounded man. The train also car
ried a large number of Prices relatives.

CONCORD, n. H., Nov. 6.-Returns
from all but nine towns give Tuttle, re-
publican, for governor, 40,593; Amsden,
democrat, 100000; Fletcher, prohibition,
1879. The republicans claim ten to
twenty majority in the house and the
democrats claim from two to sixteen.
The result will hinge upon the question
of the admission of members elected un-
der the new census superintendent and
"classed towns where the population has
decreased. A good deal depends on the
course taken by the republican clerk of
the last house, who makes up the roll.

PIERRE, s.. d., Nov. 6-The scene IN
this city since the news that Pierre had
received majority over Huron for the
permanent capitol beggars description.
All night long crowds surged back and
forth through principal streets headed by
Ip,nds and with transpariences and the
town was a perfect bedlum until daylight
Ills morning. It was impossible to
MAINTAIN order and the place was turned
over to the bowling but good natured
mob. Each train brought hundreds of
Pierre workers and others who came to
join in the celebration. The bulletin
board was closely watched and each
fresh telegram that came in Pierre's favor
added renewed fervor to the rejoicings,
until the whole populace seemed to-have
been driven insane. To strangers the
scene was incomprehensible, but to q
Pierre citizen it can be easily understood.
The people haye been fighting for the
capital of South Dakota for eight long
years. Once the legislature at Bismarck
passed a bill making Pierre the capital,
but the bill was vetoed BY Gov. Pierce,
and again, the capital commission of
1887 decided on Pierre, but changed
their minds.
Last year Pierre won the temporary
capital and now comes a complete vic
tory and therefore the people cannot be
blamed for their righteousness. All
day long large crowds kept on the streets
and as evening drew near they increased
and to night the celebration keeps up.
Red lights. fireworks and illuminatlons
are being displayed, whistles are blow
ing, bells ringing and the shouts and
hurrahs of the crowd are mixed up in
one grand bedlam. Never before was
there such a scene in the state. A party
Of Pieare workers who just came in on
the evening train are being carried up
and down the streets on the shoulders OF
the crowd. There is no doubt but that
this will keep up all night. The latest
report gives Pierre $500 majority east Of
the river and 5000 in the Black Hills,
thus giving her a majority of at least
1000.

Is the goth of February a Day?

.
The question whether the Goth of Feb
ruary is legally a day or not has lately
been presented to the courts of Indiana.
There is authority in that stats to the
effect that the 2Sth and 29th Of February
are to be counted as one day; but when
the supreme court so decided 1t had not
examined an ancient English statute
concerning leap year, passed in the TWEEN
ty-third year of Henry III. which bears
upon the subject. Accordingly, in the
case to which VIC refer, the judge deter
mined to consider the question de novo,
and he came to the conclusion that the
Goth of February must be regarded as a
day in the contemplation of the law, at
least, as much as any other, and must
he reckoned in the legal computation Of
time where days are considered.
"Is the man who works on Feb. 2S and
30 to have pay for one day onlvy' he
asks. HAS a Judgment rendered On
Feb. % no priority a q lien over one
rendered IN Feb. go? Could a man SEN
fenced to be hung on Feb. ~ be legally

The confusion on the subject has evil
IDENTIFY arisen from statutes treating of
the entire year as d whole. Thus, there
is a provision in the Revised Statutes Of
New York that whenever the term
''year" or years shall be used in any
law sentence, contract or instrument OF
writing the year intended shall be taken
to consist Of 1856 days, a half year 1872

THE CENsUs OF 1890.

The work Of the Census Bureau is
now so far completed that it has seen
fit to issue a preliminary estimate of
the total population of The country.
This estimate places the population ut
63, 231 ,428, which is smaller. than
earlier estimates, as it was believed
that the figure would prove more than
65,0OO,QaQ, and some estimates as, high
as $4,000, 900 and 70, 900, 1000 we're i'd
vanced. .t
The figures of the: the: census cen, bureau
are, therefore, disappointing, as the in
crease for the decade, though large,
has not been as great as had been an
ticipated. x u OF course, it il
possible that the final count may mod
ify the figures now issued by the Cen
sus Bureau, but it is not believed that
the last figures will show any mate
rial difference. -
The figure arrived at by the census
officials represents an increase of a lit
tie over 26 per cent. for the decade
$4,000, which, compared with the
increase of 30.08 per cent. for the de-
cade 1870-18S0, is not, as satisfactory
as had been anticipated. The pei
centage of increase is, in fact, the
smallest for any decade since the first
census was taken, with the single ex.
ception of the decade 1860-70, which
included the period Of tie civil war
