Congressman Hartman made Il few
remarks during the discussion of the
seigniorage bill, and as usual CAV the
Democracy a few sharp prods in II vital
part. Among other things he said;
"Iou promised us not only silver legis-
lation but you promised us that when
you repealed the purchasing clause OF
the Sherman law you would give us
prosperity all through the land. You
promised that the prices of products
would go up all over the land. What
has been the result? In the county in
which | live, in Montana, we are sell.

land and wheat at $1.25 a bushel. You
have got Cleveland and you have got
the wheat and you could not sell both
together for S1.25 a bushel."

revoking the license of DIR. Kellogg. In
their decision they numerically score
the doctor, pronouncing his conduct
uuprofcssional, immoral and dishonor-

revoked. This doctor, who seems to
have no regard for the laws of God or

self if a man whom she did not intend
to accept proposed to her, but that,
should such an unpleasant incident
occur. it was at least not to be made

cumbent on them to let a man under

SOLD THE DOG AT AUCTION.
This Great Government Gets 30 Cents for {
Iongrol otoWaWay.

There was an auction sale of one
monErel dog at the bonded warehouse.
No. COO Greenwich street. yesterday
morning at IL o'clock. The sale had
been duly advertised by the posting of
q notice In the corridor OF the Custom
House. but there was, nevertheless, only
one bidder. Michael Fitzpatrick, who is
employed in the bonded warehouse, bid
80 cents and the animal became his
personal property.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick's extravaganza is ex-
planned by the fact that six weeks con-
slant association with and care OF the
dog had endeared the animal to him.
If the cur has any other friends they
are more than 5000 miles away. He
arrived on these shores by the steamship
Elbe. from Bremen, on May II, and was
because there was no one to pay the
duty upon him. 1t is doubtful II from
the day he was born he ever possessed
an owner. His whole makeup leads to
the belief that he was entirely without
home or character in the city OF Bremen.
He made the ocean passage as a stow
away. Uncle Sans diligent customs
officers would have been wiser had they
permitted the dog to land unnoticed,
but their Interpretation of the law did
not permit them to do this. The con-
sequence Is that for six weeks the dog
has been fed at Government expense.
and. as he had been fed meat twice a day.
the bill for his board foots up to 1928.
Assuming that the Government pays
no auctioneer's fees. the total loss to
