A Dog Well Trained,

Sir John Lubbock has succeeded in train
ing his dog to distinguish a card with
water" on it if it wants water, one with
flood" if it wants food, and SO on. The
dog soon learned to distinguish the blank
from the written ones; then he learned to
attach an idea to some of the latter and
was finally able to fetch to his master the
card which correspondent with his wish.
To get q single meal he had to fetch some
eighteen or twenty Of these cards, He
made no mistakes.-Atlanta Constitution.

But only for q little space
The tiny footsteps falter,
And now are vanished from their place
And now the others alter,
Showing a slower, heavier tread
Then, To-! two shoe prints only.
The smaller, daintier ones are fled:
On plod the others, lonely.
And now they drag through winter snow,
= With prints that merge together;
And there are ruby streaks that show
Where thorns have pierced the leather:
And now he lark returns to bed
For twilight has descended;
Untrodden is the track ahead,
And all the prints are ended.

THE Supreme Court of Wisconsin
has just set aside another piece of
Democratic bad legislation by decid-
ing that 1.-THE complaint states facts
sufficient to entitle the state to the
relief demanded therein, and practi-
cally deciding that the legislature has
no discretion in apportiOning accord
ing to population, but that the consti-
tuition is mandatory in this respect.
The action Of the court makes the
Democrats feel rather blue as they ex-
peXted to reap political advantage by
their outrageous gerrymander, but
the courts have stepped in between
them and an outraged people in behalf
of honesty and justice. 1t is thought
the result may mean another session
of the legislature.

AN ENJOYABLE TINE.

CEREsCo, Sept. q.
! Tent meetings still in progress near
the Terry school house and rapidly in
creasing interest. On Sunday, 25th,
| large crowd was in attendance.
Rev. Crooks preached an excellent
discourse at II a. M, after which the
congregation adjourned to the river
near by where five were "buried with
the Lord in baptism" The prayer
was made by Rev. lockwood and bap-
tism administered by Rev. Bloomfield.
Those baptized were Mrs. BrysOn and
son VIM, Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce, Mr..
Bowen. A solemn hush pervaded the
audience which seemed to realize that
the beautiful ceremony was sacred
About forty persons then went to Mr.
BrySon's where an abundant and ele-
CANT dinner was served There were
twelve young ladies waiting on the ia
BILE, and they afterwards with about
the same number of young gentlemen,
ate at one table. OF course fun and
merriment abounded at that table.
At 8 p. m. prayer meeting was held
at the tent, followed by a fine sermon
by Rev. Mckinney. Rev. Crooks
preached in the evening. Too much
credit cannot be given the hospitable
denizens of the neighborhoodf for their
kindly treatment of the people, many
of whom came from many miles away
to attend the meetings.

WHILE we have been keeping our
eyes upon the East and doing all in
our power, as a nation, to ward off
the cholera, it becomes apparent that
some attention must be paid to an
other quarter. 1t seems that the
steamer Empress of India, which left
Yokohama Sept. 10, is reported to
have cholera on board. If this should
prove true it would prove bad thing
for the Nortf west, unless the most
strict precautions are taken in regard
to quarantine.

OUR WORLDS FAIR BUILDING.

From the reports of persons who
have seen the Minnesota building now
in process of erection at the World S
Fair grounds, says the Pioneer Press,
it is evident that the state has
bestirred herself to some purpose, and
that the efforts of her commissioners
in raising the extra 800, 900 are to be
rewarded by structure which will be
genuine credit to her and to them.
The people Of the state are under an
obligation to these men who have
worked so persistently to raise the
money and to carry the entire work
through with promptness, and on the
other hand great credit is due to the
individuals who pledged themselves
for the required amount and thus
made it possible for the state to take
her proper position. This work has
all been done quietly and unostenta-
tiously, but it has told as appears
from the present condition of affairs
at Chicago. That our state building
should rank fifth amCng those ftwen-
ty-eight states, when SO many of them
represent older and wealthier COM
munities, speaks volumes for Western
energy and judgment. 1t now re-
mains for every individual to assume
his own personal responsibility con-
corning the exhibit and do all he can
to arouse interest where it is lacking,
to contribute from his own resources
as far as possible and to stimulate in
every way the general action necessary
to complete success. The state COM
miSSionerS have their hands full in
caring for the executive part of the
work: they need and must have the CO.
operation Of the people of the state.
1t has not been lacking so far, but
neither must it fail nor flag in the
future. The state has arrived at a
sufficient maturity to justify we'll
rounded exhibit. We have our Spe-
cialties, but we have also our SYM
metrical growth of institutions and
general culture, and in none of these do
we fall behind. Our exhibit should
show Minnesota to the world as she
is-a prosperous, well governed, we'll
equipped state, where children may
be safely bred and thoroughly educated,
where business may be hOnOrably and
successfully conducted, where homes
are centers of living, and where all
that is best and foremost in the
worlds experience finds place.

HOW l SAVED A FORTUNE.
A Lady's Experience with Drunken
Husband.

VI II. EOIIOh.
Isaw in your valuable paper
last week what one of your subscribers
had to tell about "Cure for Drunk
enness" My experience is different.
1 feel it my duty to the many wives
and daughters whose loving ones are
troubled with this disease to say how
happy now am. My husband
inherited a nice farm and $4,000 in
cash from an uncle who lived in
Michigan, and l thought we would be
happy and comfortable for the rest Of
our lives, but my husbrnd thought he
did not have to work any and. took to
drinking and / was afraid that would
have the common lot of drunkrads
wife, SO / sent to the Golden Specific
Co., Cincinnati, Ohio, $500 and got a
package of DR.. Hainns' medicine and
gave it to my husband in his coffee
every morning for breakfast. He did
not know he was taking any medicine,
and one day he said he did not think
he would go around to Jim's saloon
any more, that wiskey did not taste
good and he thought he would quit
dainking entirely. That was two
years ago, and l have never smelt
wiskey on his breath since. Anyone
can get the circulars by writing the
above firm, or get the medicine for
the price. If other people would do
as / did there would not be any
drunkards' wives in this world.

Oklahoma Distanced.

KINeFIsHER, o. T., April 19.-The area
of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reserva-
tions opened today is much larger than
was generally supposed. 1t would make
two Oklahomas, or five Rhode Islands.
It contains 100000 acres. After the
Indian allotments are taken out there
will remain 3,5o0,0o0 acres, or enough to
give 160 acres each to 1900 settlers out
side the townsites. The best lands have
been taken by the Indians, and many of
the boomers will be sorely disappointed
in the character of their land when they
attempt to cultivate it.

PHILADELPHIA, April l9.-The supreme
court yesterday decided that the fine of
500 imposed upon J. Otis Paul for the
sale of oleomargarine contrary to the
state law of 1885, is not violation of
the interstate commerce act. As a large
number of similar fines have been inn
posed as result of prosecutions con-
Quoted against oleomargarine-sellers by
the National Dairyman's Protective As
sociation, the decision is one of import
ance.' The oleomargarine had been inn
ported from outside the STATEN 10-pound
packages, which the court finds were
broken and sold in smaller portions,
thereby becoming part of the common
mass of property within the state. The
courts decision upholds the constitu-
tionality of the prohibitory statute, and
declares it is police regulation neces-
cary to protect public health.

court today decided to hear the argu-
ment in the attorney -generalship man.
damus proceedings on Thursday. The
case was to have been argued this morn
ing, but attorneys for petitioners were
not ready, and asked continuance,
which was granted. The attorneys on
the other side objected to the delaY,a as
they wanted a decision before the aeins

This action in the case is favorable to
the republicans, since Friday is the last
day on which democrats can complete
nominations according to the Australian
ballot law.

MADRID, April ia most decided
sensation was created today by making
public the further confession made by
Munoz to the magistrate who has charge
of the case. Munoz is the anarchist
who was betrayed into the hands of the
police by Delboche, who informed
the authorities that Munoz was the
prime mover among the anarchists and
supplied him and others with bombs,
promises to result in the extirpation of a
dangerous class in Spain. Munoz has
already made confession that has
caused the arrest of number of his ac-.
completes, and it is thought that before
the police are through with him all the
leading anarchists of Spain will be under
arrest or have sought safety in. fight.
He has today told the officials that at
secret meeting of the anarchists lots
will be drawn to decide (which numbers
should kill the boy king of Spain. The
statement caused much anxiety, and
the precautions to guard against an at
tack upon the king have been greatly
added to. Several anarchists under ar
rest confessed an attempt was to be
made to blow up the royal palace, but
none until now acknowledged direct
attempt upon the life of the king would
be made. With the knowledge that
such conspiracy does exist, the author
tiles will be able to guard against it.
The public does not know anything be-
yond that Munoz revealed the existence
of plot to kill the king, but it is
thought that in a very short time every
one connected with it will be taken into
custody. 1t is also thought that Munoz
will make clean breast of his connec--
tion with the anarchist movement, and
by this means escape the life sentence
impending over him.

DIXON SET ON FIRE.

In Dixon the damages were aug
mented by fire, which broke out in Du-
gan's, Browns and Coleman's buildings.
Dugan's drygoods store, brick build
ing, was crushed in by the falling of the
south firewall of the Masonic building,
while north frewall of the latter build
ing fell on j. Rockford's brick butcher
shop, completely crushing it in. At
this juncture fires broke out. The
flames were soon extinguished, but not
until considerable damage had been
done. The north frewall of Eppenger
& Co.'s brick, corner of Main and B
streets, fell on an adjoining frame owned
by John Rehneke, crushing the frame
like an eggshell and seyerly injuring Mr..
Rehneke. The Prevails, both in the
front and back of the Ross building,
fell in, doing considerable damage.
All the Prevails on the north side of the
Old Corner saloon building. corner Main
and B streets, broke, and fell, crushing
and destroying the porch. All the build
ings in town having brick chimneys re-
port damage, nearly all being cracked,
while several were thrown down. Goods
in nearly all the stores were thrown from
the shelves and counters, while all over
town doors were wrenched and torn
down from their hinges, being thrown
into the street or into the buildings.

E.,erm,nst.ng .ne Food FIN.


The cupidity of the fisherman on the
Atlantic coast is rapidly destroying near
ly every kind of sea food upon which the
people have been accustomed to rely.
The complaints of the men who control
the fish markets are long and loud that
the supply of fish is much less for this
season than it was the last. The lobster
factories on the Maine coast are all
closed. and one has to go down as far
east as Prince Edward island to find a
lobster with shell on his back at fair
price. The herring factories have be-
gun to exhaust the immense schools of
herring that gather around Grand Ma
nan and work their way into the Bay of
Fundy
The inackerel have been so scarce dur
ing the season, from the wholesale de-
struction of schools that single mack
erel is today more expensive than a
pound of beef The bluefish are still
plenty. but there are signs that even this
species of fish is beginning to be preyed
upon by the methods employed by the
fishermen inscatching them. The fisher
men say that they are obliged to use
these destructive methods IN order to
protect themselves from the encroach-
ments OF those who refuse to keep to the
old methods. and 80 the wholesale de
struction goes ON without restraint.
The time has come when if the sea is

food which makes life on the Atlantic

In Merced two distinct shocks were
felt here. The first occurred at 2:47,
stopping the clock in the Ell Captain
hotel. The second shock was three min
utes later, starting the clock again. No
damage was done. Stockton and Grass
Valley reports are to the effect that no
damages resulted, but the scares were
rather large sized ones. The damages
amount to nothing in San Francisco,
but the shock was severe enough to
