A Hear story.

A gentleman, making inquiry In
Russia about the method of catch
ing bears in that country, was told
that, to entrap them, a pit was dug
several feet deep. and after covering
it over with turf. leaves. etc., some
food was placed on the top. The bear.
tempted by the bait, easily fell into
the snare.
But" he added, iii four or FIVE
happen to get together, thoy will all
get out again"
'.How is thatp'' asked the gentle
man.
They form sort of ladder by
stepping on each others shoulders,
and thus make their escape"
but how does the bottom one get
outP''
..Ah! these bears, though not pos
sessed Of a mind and soul, such as
God has given us, yet feel gratitude;
and they won't forget the one who has
been the chief means OF procuring
their liberty. Scampering of, they
fetch the branch OF tree, which they
let down to their brother, enabling
him to join them in the freedom in
which they rejoice"
Sensible bears, we would say. are
better than some people that we hear
about who never help anybody but
themselves. Our Dumb Animals.

Where pride begins love ceases.
Love and q cough won't hide.
Sweet Is the love that meets return

Love and lordship like no fellow

Love lies In cottages as we'll as in

Kind confidence begets confidence.

Love can hope where reason would

All truest love is consecrated by the
Divine love.

OHIO REPUBLICANS.
They Meet in State Convention
at Columbus.
The Blaine Foraker Crowd
Rules the Roost
Nothing in the Way of
McKinley's Nomination

COLUMBUS. June I6.-This has been a
gala day to the Republicans of Ohio. No
one can derive so much unalloyed happl-
ness from the discussion of politics and
the denunciation of his political enemies
as the average citizen OF the Buckeye
state, and 1000 enthusiastic Republicans
have today devoted themselves a~ssiduously
to the arraignment of the Democratic
party and incidentally to the nomination
of a state ticket. There has been little
room for strife in this last business, as the
nomination Of Maj. Mckinley will be
made by reclamation tomorrow, and
although there is sharp competition Tor
the lesser places, these Offices are almost
lost to sight IN the interest manifested in
the question of Republican or Democratic
success in Ohio, for it is believed
that as Ohio goes next tall, 80 she
will go in 1892. To a casual observer
today the opening scenes of the
convention presented more the ap-
pearance of a Blaine Foraker ratification
meeting that au Ordinary state convention.
Ii is nc secret that Foraker aspires to
succeed Sherman in the senate, and the
young men who are his followers domi-
mated the convention. In like degree the
Young republicans appeared devoted TO
James e.. Blaine, yet the ovation which
greeted the mention of the distinguished
secretary OF state was by no means con-
fined to the younger element. President
Harrison and Senator Sherman are also
dear to heart of the average Ohio man.
as the uproariouS applause which greeted
the menuon of their names testified.
The enthusiasm of the convention found
full vent in the ratification of the partisan
thrusts OF Chairman Neviu aud in APPROX
ing his eulogy of the Republican leaders.
Near the conclusion of his address, Nevin
said: AT the right hand OF the presi-
dent stands a man who, for keen intellect,
broad craftsmanship. and devotion to
American interests and American pro-
gress, is the peer of any man who ever
lived, who lives today, or ever will live
james G. Blaine"
The name OF Blaine was never heard by
the convention. Little by little, as the
pcroratiOn reached its height, the au-
dience caught the infection. and from a
general hand-clappinR the applause devel
oped into one mighty roar that shook the
building. Men shouted themselves hoarse
and women waved their fans, while a
thousand voices over and over repeated in
musical chorus: Blaine, Blame. Blaine"
After the appointment of committees,
the convention adjourned until tomorrow
morning. The evening was devoted to
receptions. The Lincoln club rendered a
reception to Mai. Mckinley, which was
attended BY an immense crowd. including
the leading Republicans OF the state.
Senator Sherman made a brief speech and
was followed by Mckinley. who received
an ovation when he arose. Senator Sher

ernor OF Ohio should now speak.

BERLIN. June I6.-WIth reference to
the proposed German worlds fair, to be
held in 1896, Mr.. ven Siemans, the great
electrician, who is a leading member of
the committee of projectors, talking with
an Associated Press representative today,
said they will make a solid showing of
what they can do in the way Of manuiac-
turing without any Eiffel tower or similar
attraction. In addition, he said the
European nations are becoming aware that
American aggression. America" said
he, lis not only shutting out many OF our
products by prohibitive tariffs. but she
also threatens our trade with the South
American republics, and ever with Africa
and Asia. Power naturally makes Amer
lea aggressive. and Europe must take care
of her interests or she will be pushed to
the wall. If America keeps on as now,
we shall have to go to a commercial war.
We will retaliate."
But said the correspon ent, do
you think Europe, and Germany espe-
cially. will be the game by such policY2
Do you know that millions of dollars
worth of your manufactures are exported
to America every year; that we could
strike a serious blow simply by prohibit
ing you sugar.
Yes" said Herr Siemans, but we
shall find other channels of trade. Be-
sides, as America advances she will need
less and less of our manufactures"
When asked if Germany would exhibit
at the worlds fair, Herr Siemans said he
did not know yet; at present it seemed
folly to exhibit in a country where the
people did not buy from them.

Arapahoes Rescue "A Priest from
Watery Grave.

Lander MounLaineer.
A few days since Rev. Father Ponzi-
glione undertook to cross Wind river near
the mission and found the water deeper
and swiGter than he expected. Before he
reached the middle of the stream his
horses were forced to swim and the wagon
was capsized, throwing the driver into
the raging current. The horses succeeded
in reaching the opposite bank with the
wagon, but a yalise and some other loose
articles in the wagon as well as Father
Ponziglione were hurled downward by the
current. Some Indians standing on the
bank saw the accident and without a mo-
ment's hesitation plunged into the turbu-
lent water and covered themselves with
glory by rescuing the drowning priest.
But for the presence of these Arapahoes
1t is more than propable that the current
would have been too strong for the aged
priest aud that he would rave sunk never

DRAGGED TO DEATH.
Fate OF IA Youth While HeTding
Cattle.

Special Correspondence.
CARBON, Wyo., June IA very sad
accident occurred near here yesterday. re-
sulting in the death of Jack Watson, a
bright young lad only IS years OF age.
Watson was engaged in herding horses
for Ike Smith. He took the herd out in
the morning, with instructions to return
at 4 O'Clock in the evening. but when 6
o'clock came and he had not returned,
Mr.. Smith thought there must be N
thing wrong and went to look tor him.
He found him on Sand creek, about four
miles from town, dead. with his head
bruised and mangled almost beyond
recognition, and his horse quietly grazing
beside him. The lariat was still tied to
Watson's wrist. Smith Immediately re-
turned to tow and procured assistance,
when the body was brought
in. Watson had been in the
habit of tying the rope attached
to his horse. to his wrist, and lying down
to sleep in this manner, and it is supposed
that his horse took fright and started to
run, dragging the boy with him. He was
dragged apparently nearly three miles.
Watson wa a quiet; unassuming young
man, well liked aud respected by all, and
was said to be the mainstay OF his family,
consisting of an old father and several
small brothers and sisters. Coroner Thode
came down from Rawlins last night and
held an inquest this morning. The grief
stricken family have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of the entire community in this sud
den blow.

was not able to get around. They pro-
nounced his case to be consumption and
incrrable. He was persuaded to try DR..
Kings New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds, and at that time was
not able to walk across the street without
resting. He found, before he had used a

better; he continued to use it and is today
