cial to Pioneer Press: The democratic

report. Judge Bennett was made per-
manent chairman and A. B. Gray of Bis

adopted declaring for tariff for
revenue only, ratifying the
national platform of 1883, fa-
voring reciprocity or free trade when
ever such policy will open market for
home productions and favoring resub-
mission of the prohibition question. The
last plank was the occasion for a very
lively debate between different
factions of the party. The conven-
tion took a recess until
this evening, when additional resolutions
were adopted, opposing the federal cleo
ton law and declaring in favor of free
coinage of silver. The following state
ticket was then nominated: For con-
gressman. John D. Benton of Fargo; gov
ernor, w. N. Roache of Larimore; lieu
tenant governor, George r. Garrett of

culture, J. Hastrad of Traille county;
superintendent of public instruction,
Miss Laura j. Eusenbuth of Foster
county; railroad commissioners, Lowe of

with them, and a painful awkwardness
in their adjustment. The hands of q
gentleman seem perfectly at home

Mutius burned his hand off before the

The Wolves OF Russia.

It is officially estimated that no
fewer than l7O, 600 wolves are roaming
ut large in Russia, and that the inhab-
itants of the Vologda last year killed
no fewer than 10000. and of the Casan
district $1,000. In the Canadian
Northwest there are also wolves. but
these are not. like the European ones,
of q very dangerous character. The
coyotes are. however. at times very
troublesome on the plains. especially to
fiecks of sheep. Some time ago Sir
John Lister-Kaye imported number
of Belgian aud French wolfhounds and
Scotch deerhounds for the purpose of
hunting down these coyotes, while
other breeds of dogs have also been
tried with fair success. BY means of
these the number of coyotes has been
much reduced. as many rs seventeen
having been brought down in single
day on the Cochrane ranch. The
hounds are. however, scarcely fast
enough, and with a view to giving
them greater turn of. speed Dan
Gordon. the veterinary surgeon of OF
tawa. Canada. has just imported two
of the fastest and best-bred greyhounds
ever shipped from England-namely.

E
A Buhach Plantation.

The work of gathering and drying
the buhach blossoms is in full blast at
the buhach plantation. says the Merced
(Cal.) Star. About one hundred men
are scattered through the fields pick
ing the blossoms. As fast as they are
picked they are slowed away about
two inches deep in wooden boxes, tho
boxes being, two aud one-half feet
square. Wagons are employed in
hauling the boxes to the drying house.
Probably it is called drying house
because it is alongside of the spot where
the drying is done. Certainly NO arti-
ficial heat Is needed at the buhach
plantation to dry anything at this time
of the year. The suns rays come
down within the Enclosure of big
popular trees with force that makes
it pleasant to stand from under. The
trays are allowed to lie there. the
blossoms being stirred up by Il force of
men until they, the blossoms, are fairly
cured. Afterward they are placed on
a large platform about sixty feet
square. where they remain until dry.
aud then are sent to the reduction
works, where they are ground into
dust. This is done by men who are
proof against sneezing, otherwise it
could not be done at all. Whether or
not it makes flies and mosquitoes
sneeze we don't know. but it is cer-
tainly the best preventive in use to
keep those insects ut distance.

Dogs in Warfare.

Experiments in training dogs to act.
In time of war, as scouts, messengers,
and sentinels. are being carried on
with success in most part of the in
fantry regiments garrisoned in France.
The manner in which they are edu.
Gated is curious. When dog is to act
as messenger two men are detached
from post and walk about a mile. the
animal being led by the, collar. One
man remains stationary, while the
other returns to his starting point.
On being set loose the dog immedi-
ately sets in pursuit of the latter and
finds its way to the post with unerring
regularity. To insure the delivery of
dispatches, q small bag of dark ma
terial is strapped on the animals back.
As a sentinel, the dog will scent n
stranger at distance of one hundred
yards, and will commence growing.
barking or evincing disquietude in
some other manner.
=. In order to accustom them to scouts
duty the dogs are encouraged to search
a field or thirket in which soldiers,
wearing foreign uniforms, lie in am
bush. As soon as the animals perceive
the latter they retreat, running to the
soldiers who accompany them. and
thus announcing the presence of an
enemy. Their instinct seldom mis-
leads them, and they have been found
very useful as means of communi-
eating with patrols and detachments
on outpost duty. In time of war they
are also intended to search for wound.
ed soldiers and loiterers. as well as to
carry provisions and ammunition to
outposts. ----+5 e..
An interesting sight, says CORES
pondent, is afforded by the spectacle
of these four-footed soldiers at drill
under the commanded sub-lieutenant
and surrounded by an admiring group
of vagrant ours who do not enjoy the
distinction of being enrolled under the
French flag, and who contemplate
their four-footed brethren with evident
envy.
