AS long as % man sees no better

good right to these pre-
miums as another provided he has as
good stock to show. Nowhere else are
such comparisons made: as much atten-
ton paid to the good and bad points of
horses. Owners learn more of, each
other, as well of each others horses.
The whole thing is bound to broaden a

Immense Districts in the Dakotas Laid
Waste by Flames-A Farmer and His
Son Burned to Death.
BISMARCK, N. D., Sept. 21.-Dis-
patches from points in both Dakotas
show no amelioration of the situation.
The heats intolerable everywhere, and
the spectacle is presented in nearly
fifty counties of farmers thrashing by
the light of the full moon, accentuated
in spots by the blaze of prairie
fires. In sections where the crops have
been harvested there is fervent prayer
for rain, without which there is the
greatest danger of the most disastrous
series of fires ever known. The
western counties in this state arc
also suffering and fires are reported
from Clay, Norman and Travers coun-
ties, where fire lines are being burned
in all directions by anxious farmers.
No rain has visited this section for
weeks. The weeds and grass are un-
usually tall and heavy. The time is
ripe for fires, and they are here in full
force. Friday afternoon a fire broke
out in Emmons county, adjoin-
ing Burleigh on the south, and at this
writing is wiping out all before
it. The daily mail stage from Will
Transport the county seat of Emmons
county, was utterly unable to make its
usual trip Friday night on account of
fires The driver returned to Bismarck,
and reports all in that section n vast
ruin and only smoking embers visi-
bic as far as he could see. A
fire started near Williamsport and
| swept down on the village. A for
tunate change of the wind enabled the
citizens to save the buildings there,
but it was with great difficulty. Heavy
losses have cen sustained by all the
| farmers in tile Emmons county district
of the slope.

southeast, destroying large amount
of grain, hay, buildings, etc. An esti
mate of the damage cannot yet be
made.

Gertrude Potter, of Chicago, Creates An
other Sensation.

Gertrude Potter, oil chicago, Creates An
other Sensation.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2l.-On Wednesday it
was announced that the secret mar
riage between r. Lee Rust, son of
wealthy Wisconsin lumberman, and
Miss Gertrude Potter, daughter of o.
w. Potter, the millionaire vice
president of the Commercial bank and
president of the North Chicago Rolling
Mill Company, had been annulled by
Judge Horton, because of the fact that
young Rust was a minor when the mar
riage was contracted. Judge Horton
has been severely criticised + l. his
action, mainly because of the secrecy
surrounding the hearing of the case.
Another sensation is now created
by the announcement that Miss Potter
has been married quietly at her ia
theirs residence, to Julius Clarke
Daniels, of New York.
An attorney for the Potters makes
the statement that this is the second
marriage between Gertrude and MIR.
Daniels The first, it is said, occurred in
this city in 1889, at which time Daniels
secured the license under the name of
julius Clark, giving Gertrude's name
as Gertrude White. The parents of
Miss Potter declare that the
couple never lived together. Ger
trude afterwards was advised
by counsel that the marriage was
invalid, and it was under this i'm
preston that she formed the union
with young Rust. When the latter
marriape became known To Mr..
and Mrs. Potter, the fact
of the former ceremony also
came out. Therefore, in order to
straighten out the ENHANCEMENT, it was
deemed best to have the Rust union an
nulled and second ceremony performed
| between Daniels and his former bride

A BUNDLE OF BILLS.

1t Is Taken by Thieves from a London
Bank-No Clew to the Robbers-The
Amount Stolen Is About S75O,Opo.
LONDON, Sept. 22. - The banking
world of this city has just been startled

bank robbery has taken place in the
city. The institution that has suffered
is the London and Westminster bank

an important establishment having
over fifteen branch houses in this city.
The money stolen, it would appear,
consisted of large parcel of bills re-
mitted from the country banks to the
London and Westminster bank. The
thief or thieves must have cleverly
watched for the proper opportunity
to accomplish the robbery and to have
gained access to an apartment
near the main entrance to the bank.
This apartment was easy of access
from the street, and the parcel of bills
is supposed to have been stolen while
the bank officials We're busily engaged
in another apartment in going over the
accounts of last weeks settlement.
Both Mr. William Astle, the town
manager of the bank, and Mr. III. h.
Billnghurst, the country manager,
decline to make any statement for
publication as to the actual loss in-
Cured by the London and Westmin-
ster bank, but it is currently reported the
amount stolen is not less than $750,000,
and that it may amount to as much as
| 81 $50. 900. The bank officers, the city
police authorities and the criminal in

ertions in order to effect the capture OF

CANINE AFFECTION.
Some Observations Mans Unselfsh
Friend.

some opserVatiohs on hahs Ohseihsh
Friend.
1t has often been mooted as vexed
question why all men of genius or
greatness are so fond of dogs. The
reason is not far to seek. Those who
are great or eminent in any way find
the world full of parasites, toadies,
liars, fawners, hypocrites; the incor-
ruptible candor, loyalty, and honor of
the dog are to such like water in
barren place to the thirsty traveller.
The sympathy of your dog is unfailing
and unobtrusive. If you are sad, so is
he; and if you are merry, none is SO
willing to leap and laugh with you as
he For your dog you are never poor;
for your dog you are never old; whether
you are in palace or a cottage he does
not care; and fall You as low as you
may, you are his providence and his
idol still. The attachment of the dog to
man outweighs and almost obliterates
attachment in him to his own race
There is something shocking to
our high opinion of him in the
callousness with which he will
sniff at the stiff body of brother-dog;
he will follow his master to the grave,
and sometimes die on it; but the loss of
his own kind leaves him unmoved /
never knew more than one exception to
this; it was, however, noteworthy
one. l had two puppies of the Molus-
;sus, commonly called the Maremma
breed; large, white, very beautiful dogs,
with long hair, varying in size between
Newfoundland and collie; the old Greek
race of watch-dogs, to which, quite cer-
tainly, Argos belonged. These puppies,
named Pan and Paris, lived together
fed, played and slept together, and
were never separated for a moment for
seven months. In the seventh month
Paris fell i'll of distemper and died.
Now, by my own observation can de-
clare that Pan nursed his brother as
assiduously as any boy could have
nursed another; licked him, cleaned
him, brought him tempting bits to eat;
did all that he could think of, and when
his brother at last lay there cold and
unresponsive to his efforts, his grief
and astonishment were painful to see.
From that time he ceased to play; from
being very lively dog he grew grave
and sad; he had wistful, wondering
inquiry in his eyes which it was pathetic
to behold; and although he lived for
many years after, and was happy az a
dog can be, he never recovered his
spirits; he had buried his mirth in the
grave of Paris. Something was lost
for him with his brother which he
never regaincd. This is the only in
stance have known of a dogs love for
another dog-ouida. in North Ameri'

st. Clair River Connecting Port Huron.
Mich, with sarnia, Ont.
PORT HURON, Mich, Sept. 21--The
international tunnel under the st.
Clair river connecting the United States
and Canada was opened Saturday.
Heretofore it has taken over one hour
to transport a train by boat. AT 1
o'clock Saturday seven carloads of visit
ors entered the Canadian end of the
tunnel and in just three and one-half
minutes the train reached the American
end. The train was drawn by mon
ster locomotive built expressly for the
occasion, weighing 100000 pounds.
At the depot the guests disem-
brief welcoming address, to which
Sir Henry Tyler responded. The
excursion train then returned to
Sarnia, where S5O. people sat down to a
banquet given in honor of Sir Henry
Tyler. Everything was gotten up
in the most elaborate manner. Toasts
were responded to by Sir Henry Tyler,
Sir John Ross, Gov. Winans, of Michi-
gan, Senator Palmer, of Illinois,
Erastus Wiman and others. The tun-
mel will not be used for general traffic
until October 1.
THE tunnel is the longest river tunnel in the
world. 1t is 8050 feet long. From the Ameri-
can cutting to the river edge is 1,s00 feet,
and from the Canadian cutting to the river
edge is 1850 feet, and the distance
across the river is $500 feet. The
tunnel walls are of cast.iron segments,
thirteen of which and key form q cir
Gle. The segment dimensions are: Length,
4 feet 10 inches; width, IL inches; thickness.
| inches, with fianges inside inches deep and
ial inches in thickness. Their total weight is
| eS 800 tons The segments are bored and Sc.
| cured in place with bolts seven-eighths of an
| inch in diameter and weighing in all 1900 09O
pounds. The outside diameter of the tunnel
Is 81 feet and 90 feet inside. The soil eXca
waited amounts to 2,l96,400 cubic feet. EN-.
ployment has been steadily furnished to zoe
men since first the work of construction be
gan and costs complete about SS,0o000O. 1t is
a year ago since the engineers who had been
| working toward each other from opposite
sides of the river fitted their hydraulic shields
together and shook hands futhoms be-
low the surface. The approaches and
railway tracks have been completed
since that day. The Grand Trunk people be
lieve that when the tunnel is in actual use il
will offer facilities for through communication
between Chicago and all points east which viii
be greatly appreciated by passengers and by
freight shippers. IT shortens the distance to
the seaboard about miles and saves two hours
