The Virginia Chronicle Of the 4th
inst. is responsible for the following
A setter dog belonging to resident
OF six-mile Canyon was recently shot
while accompanying its owner on a
hunting expedition, and died from the
wound. The person referred TO is
also the possessor of a young mongrel
cur that was the inseparable compan-
ion OF the setter. The setter dogs
corpse was buried on hill in the rear
OF the owners residence, the cur being
present at the burial. Since then the
mongrel daily carries the larger portion
OF food given it to the burial place Of
its late canine companion, and, after
dropping it on the grave, patiently
waits there for hours, evidently antici-
pating that the dead setter will come
to eat it. Thomas Cooking is the
owner OF the mongrel, and will verify
the truth OF the above statement.

The promptness with which birds
take advantage Of the various appli-
ances Of modern civilization is strong
argument in favor OF the doctrine that
animal intelligence is not different
from human intelligence in kind, but
only in degree.
According to one OF our exchanges
an engine-driver on Scotch railway
has noticed that hawks of the merlin
or " stone falcon species make regu-
lar use OF the passing of trains.
They fiy close behind the train, near
the ground, partly hidden by the
smoke. As the cars thunder along
through the fields and meadows, small
birds fly up in clouds, and while they
are bewildered and preoccupied the
merlin dsshes among them out OF the
smoke and easily secures its prey.
Should il be unsuccessful it returns
to the wake OF the train and awaits
the starting of another bevy. The
engineer affirms that the hawk has
no difficulty in keeping up with the
swiftest OF express trains.-Youtil's

Daniei webster's Poor opinion of
the West Fifty Years Ago.

EDS. RECORD UNION: l take the
liberty Of sending you bit Of history
not generally known, / believe, and
which may interest, il not amuse,
some Of your numerous readers,
especially old settlers Of the Pacific
Coast. Nearly fifty years ago, says
the Bangor News, modest bill was
before the United States Senate to es-
tablish mail route from Western
Missouri to the mouth Of the Columbia
river.
Senator Daniel Webster was strongly
opposed to the measure on the ground
that il was a useless expense. Ac-
cordingly he stirred up the fire OF his
eloquence, and spoke az follows:
What do we want with the vast,
worthless area2 This region Of savages
and wild beasts, Of deserts, of shifting
sands and whirlwinds OF dust, OF
cactus and prairie dogs? To what
use could We ever hope TO put these
great deserts or those endless mount
ain ranges, impenetrable and covered
to their base with eternal snow =?
What can we ever hope to do with the
western coast-a coast 5000 miles,
rock-bound, cheerless and uninviting,
and not harbor on it2 Mr.. President,
| will never vote one cent from the
public treasury TO place the Pacific
coast one inch nearer TO Boston than
il now is.
From this vehement address it is
obvious that the illustrious statesman
was no prophet, neither had he the
least conception of the ultimate destiny
Of the great West. Furthermore,
the article says, il his ghost wanders
through the cities and farms of the
mighty Northwest he must remember
this speech and feel ashamed Of him
self"
But suitable allowance should be
made Tor the great Daniel, for in his
day the western march Of progress
had scarcely began, and what was
there to suggest that great systems
OF railroads and telegraphs would
eventually span the continent, an
Initiating distance, settle up and
develop comparatively unknown
country, which he considered a
" worthless " area of savages and wild
beasts. n. $. I.

THE CENSUS TAKER.
some Of the Questions He has TO
Ask in the Rural Districts.
Carson Appeal.


"Mr. Slingerton. the 0rmsby county
census taker, started on his regular
governmental rounds on Monday.
Mr.. Slingerton takes the outside
rural districts in his perigrinations and
Uncle Sam settles with him by the
day.
When he strikes farm house he
has just 126 questions to ask the
woman of tho house. With some
people he has easy sailing and then
again with some he doesn't have quite
so easy.
A census taker requires some con-
siderable nerve and Slingerton is sup
posed to have all it requires.
For instance it takes nerve to ask
string OF questions like this:
p Madam, how many eggs did you
produce here in 1902"
"Hox many gallons OF milk ?"
GLOW many children ?"
OF course these are all regulation
questions and have to be answered.
Then come questions which tax a
woman's memory some:
"How many calves dropped in this
ranch in 1902"
"How many bulls? How many
heifers?"
"How many radishes did you
raise?"
How many onions?"
"Any scale bugs2"
Amy bedbugs?"
How many redheaded children,
and is red hair hereditary in the fam
ily?"
1"Does your husband drink, and
how much is necessary to make him
lively2"
ado you drink yourself?"
If SO how oiten?"
Are you a white woman, mulatto
or Chinawoman?"
Ever had the smallpox OF did
your grandmother ever have it?"
BY the time the man has got about
this far along, the woman calls for ice
to place on her head. After she gets
composed, he begins again on her
family history:
Was she ever in jail2
was her husband or tather or near
relative in jail and II 30 what peni-
tentiary do they occupy at present?
How many trees has she ever plant
ed2 How many lived2 How many
died? And how many were frost bit
early in life?
Are measles heredity in her family,
and il so how often?
She must tell all about her ances-
tors and her relatives ancestors, and
her future prospects are the only things
she isn't asked about.
When the census taker is through
his work the woman begins to wonder
how near the truth she has been and
how many misstatements she has
made, and il the census taker will ar
rest her and throw her in the county
jail il she has undervalued her age.
The census OF 1890 will be bangor
and no mistake.

WESTERN UNION FIRE.
Jay Gould Expatiates on It's Effect and
Origin,

Jay Gould Expatiates on Its Effect and
Origin,
NEW YORK, July 21.--For the first
time since the fire of Friday Jay Gould
was this morning at his office on the
second floor of the Western Union
building. But little damage was done
by the water there, and the usual force
of clerks was engaged in their usual
routine. Said Gould to reporter: 81
was not connected with the company
when this building was erected, but I
understood it to be as nearly freproof
as possible, the floors, walls and stair
ways all being indestructible. Of course
necessarily a vast amount of fuel is on
hand in the furniture needed to accom-
modate so many persons. l must say,
however, in view of the probable origin
of the fire, that had it broken out at any
other time it would almost certainly
have been eXtinguished at once. The
fire doubtless arose from the contact OF
several wires, which were raised to a
white heat by the combined currents,
igniting the covering of the wires and
the woodwork near by. The
men usually on hand at the
point where the fire began were not
there at that time to check the spread
of the flames, which were not discovered
until they had made some headway.
When the fire was at length noticed,
the force of men on the spot twas unequal
to accomplish what they at first at
tempted, namely, to extinguish the fire
without giving the alarm. Thus, in
stead of saying that at any other hour
the fire would probably have caused
great loss of life, it is doubtless proper to
say that at any other hour the building
would not have been destroyed.

SAN Francisco, July 81. R. T..
Creighton, of the New Zealand govern

AN OREGON DUEL.
A Quarrel About Cattle Results in a
Fatal Shooting.

LINKvILLE, Ore, July 21.--George
Goodlow was shot and instantly killed
last evening by John Shook at dairy
twenty miles east of here. The men
had quarrel about some cattle few
days ago. Goodlow yesterday, while
under the influence of liquor, went to
Shocks place with revolver in his
hand, and said he wanted to kill Shook.
The latter drew his revolver and the
men fired simultaneously, one bullet en-
tering Goodlow's breast just over the
heart, and he died in short time.
Shook surrendered himself to the sheriff.
The shooting has caused considerable
excitement and threats of lynching are
made by the friends of the dead man.

REMSBERG'S FATE.
Another Version of the Fresno County
Tragedy.

Tragedy.
FRESNO, July 21.-Last Friday man
visited the farm of Samuel Hooking,
about twelve miles west of Selma, and
criminally assaulted Mrs. Hooking On
Hocking's return his wife gave
him a description of her assail-
ant, and he at once started in
pursuit. The description answered
that of Clarence Remsberg, a solicitor
for marble works, who had been travel
ing through the country. Remsberg
was in Fresno Saturday, and to friends
admitted that he had gotten into trou-
BILE with some woman. Late in the af-
ternoon he started for Hazelton, on
Kings river, where his wife
is sojourning. During the evening
his team reached Sanger. His dead
body was lying in the bottom Of the
buggy, with bullet hole through the
head. Hooking subsequently came to
Fresno and gave himself up, but denies
that he did the killing. Remsberg re-
sided in Fresno several years, and some
doubt as9o his guilt is expressed.

A CHINESE MURDERER
Arrested for Crime Committed Three
Years Ago.

SACRAMENTO, July 21.-About three
years ago, at Courtland, a Chinaman
named Yam Foo murdered a fellow
countryman named Gum Back Lung, an
important parsonage in Mongolian cir
cles. The murderer. escaped and
succeeded in eluding the officers.
Last Saturday the authorities here
received information from San Diego
that a constable had Van Foo under ar
rest. Officer Drew went to Cortland
yesterday and found evidence available,
and accordingly swore to a complaint
charging Yam Foo with murder. Dis
trict Attorney Brunner telegraphed to
the San Diego constable to bring up the
prisoner. 1t seems that Yam Foo and
another Chinaman had some trouble in
San Diego, and Van Foo caused the
other mans arrest, whereupon the lat
ter informed on him.
