A GENUINE COLD SNAP.
1t Spoiled Wild-Goose Hunt for the
Hyde County Sportsman.

| 1t SpO1led WId-GOoSe HUNT Tor tnt
Hyde County Sportsman.
"Cold snaps 1on't come often down
in Hyde county, said Pocky Griswold
who is instructor to the Hammcndsport
Observation-Disclosures club during
the summer, and the same to the Wild
Goose, Wild Swan and Wild Duck club
of Hyde county, N. c., during the win
ter. "Cold snaps don't come often down
there, but when they do come they come
sudden, and they stick right fast to
things when they come, too.
Zone of the best times to bag wild
geese is early in the morning, just be-
fore they get up from their sleeping
places on the water and start for bust
ness. Whenever want goose right
bad l always SO out early in the mcrn-
ing after it. 1t happened one time last
winter that was pining tor wild goose,
and I got up early in the morning and
went out to Lake Mattamusl1et to bag
few. AS stepped out of the club
house 1 noticed that one of those Hyde
county cold snaps had dropped down on
us during the night, and everything
was just tingling.
"'All the better says 7. The geese'll
be huddled together in bunch to keep
warm, and as they rise Ill tumble all
the more of EN-.
II crept through the bushes on the
edge of the lake, and seems to me l
had never seen IL look so CLASSY and
smooth. Pretty soon 1 came in sight
of big flock of geese. all punched to-
gether.
"'It's little tough on EN- says,
to rout 'em out so early, but it can't
be helped
Getting good position, I said
Shoot! to the geese, because l never
shoot one until it flies. The geese all
stretched their recks and began flop
ping their wings to rise, but never one
of 'em left the water. Such squawking
and cackling 1 never heard. l shooed
'em again, and again they made big
effort to lift themselves up, but there
they stayed an squawked and cackled.
l got up out of the bushes and looked
around to make sure that was not in
bed and dreaming. And what do you
s'pose? The lake was frozen tight as
a drum! A Hyde county cold snap had
tumbled on the lake during the night
and froze it up, and done it so quick
and slick that the sleeping geese hadn't
known thing about it, and didn't dis
cover it until woke 'em up! And there
they were held in trap that wild bears

LIVERY STABLE DOG,
He Protects His Masters Property with
Remarkable Vigilance.


Remarkable Vigilance.
Capt. w. L. Burke has returned from
the region of which Leon county, Tex,
is the center. He served processes OF
the district court of the United States
over district of 40 miles square.
AT Marquee, on the International &
| Great Northern, he hired horse and
buggy, and, after getting off from
town, he found that a dog had volun-
teered to accompany him. The drive
was ramified and led across farms and
through lonely forests, but the dog,
with cheerful alacrity, trotted ahead
and gave warning barks when nearing
bad bridges and particularly bad places
in the road. The people to be served
in some cases resided in cottages far
from the main road, causing much
painstaking in opening gates hung on
homemade hinges and secured with
ropes tied in hard knot. At such
times the dog whined his sympathy and
watched the horse and buggy until the
difficulties were overcome.
When Capt. Burke took meals and fed
the horse the dog was remembered, and
when there was any delay about his
portion he let the fact be known. When
the long drive ended and the deputy
United States marshal returned the
horse and buggy at MARQUEE the dog
gave satisfied yawn and curled up
in vacant stall. The owner explained.
He said: 81 always send that dog along
when l hire an outfit to stranger. l

Canary Bird Commits Suicide.

A bird fancier in Walnut Hills, o., has
come to the front with story that sup
ports the theory of suicide among birds.
He reared two canaries that were SO ct
fsched to one another that one would
not touch his hempseed if the other was
indisposed, nor battle in their four-inch
tub unless he could use the same water
with which the other had performed his
abIutions. After reaching the ripe old
age of ten years, one evening one of the
birds died, and in the morning the other
was found hanging stone dead, with his
head fastened between the bars in the
upper part of his cage. The owner Of
the two birds firmly believes. be says,
that the latter committed suicide.

DESPERATE DEMOCRATS.
The Conditions in Pinal County Do No. Suit Them.

FLORENCE, Ariz., Oct 19.-CSpecial to The Republican, 1.-The confidence of Mark Smiths adherents that he would carry Pinal county has given place to strong belief on their part that Doran will get larger vote than he ever re- ceived in the county before, that is, approximately
 According ito the registration there are about ninety voters less in the county than there were two years ago. At the last election OlNeill received about 100 votes in this county, and as Smiths friends are there he is losing while Buckley is gaining, and because Doran is at least holding his own, they are growing desperate.
 No better proof of the desperate con dition in which the Democracy finds itself here is needed than is found in the appeal of Chairman Weedin, pub lished in Last Saturdays Tribune. Weedin labors through a column or two of stuff, and proves n0hing except that he sees Marks chances growing daily less. He ridicules O'Neills posi- tion by calling attention to the fact that Democracy has swallowed Popu- lism, horns, hoofs and all, and that Buckley in Washington would stand about as much show as business in tlhe United States does under a Demo- cratic tariff.
 The voters of Pinal county are not going to be fooled by any of these tear ful appeals from Democratic sources. They know that Mckinley will be elect ed that there will surely be a Republi- can congress; that a delegate to con- gross from Arizona must be in accord with congress and the administration in order to be in a position to accomp- fish anything for the territory or its citizens. And in addition to this, the voters of Pinal county all know Hon A. J. Doran personally, and will take pride in giving their neighbor and friend the loyal support that his pas. services entitle him to. They know that Doran has engaged in many min ing enterprises, in this county; that he has done much to develop the mining resources of the county; that through his efforts many thousands of dollars have been placed in mills as we'll as mines, and that his every effort has been in the direction of development and improvement.
 It is a fact that no person can deny that Doran has secured thousands fol Arizona's development where Smith and O'Neill have given nothing bu talk; that while mines were being opened and mills erected through Do rams efforts, O'Nein was talking his wild-eyed Populistic theories ana Smith was defending highway robbers And it is also a fact that when MT Doran goes to Washington to represen the people of Arizona, he will remain al his post of duty and not be running away to spend his time and efforts il behalf of those who have no claim ol him. Doran was never known to slhirl dulty placed upon him by official posi- tion. He may be less loquaciou man than either Smith or O'Neill, bu when it comes to business he is alway on hand

''The Octoroon," as played by the Wilber Dramatic company, last night, was a vivid portrayal of southern life in ante-bellum days.
