CANINE INTELLIGENCE.

Occasionally an incident comes to the
notice OF the public which leads human
ity TO believe hat the dumb brutes are
not devoid Of reasoning powers. The
following dispatch from a Kansas town
tells a pathetic story o. a faithful canine:
"wednesday morning Ranchman Sam
Dodge, who lives II miles south OF Caney
in the Usage country. went to Viniia on
business, and shortly after he had gone
Bessie, his 5-year-old daughter, wand
cred away from home in an attempt to

absence about TWO hours after SANS de-
pariure. She made a thorough search OF
the premises, and. failing to find the
child, notified the ~neighbors Of her dis

searching for the little wanderer. Late
Thursday evening an Indian came upon
her lying fast asleep. just south OF Post
Oak creek, in an old road known as the
whisky Trail" Across her body stood
q Newfoundland dog, which had always
been her companion about the ranch.
The dog vas torn and bleeding, and near
his feet lay the dead bodies OF two
wolves. Although her cheeks were s,ain-
ed with teers and covered with dust,
Bessie was unharmed. She and her pro-
tector were taken back to her home. a
distance Of Il miles from where they
were found, where the dog died OF his
wounds that night. He was given a de-
cent burial and yesterday Sam Dodge
ordered a marbla monument, which will
be placed at the head Of the faithful ami

In an interview credited to Don Carlos
and published in Madrid, the Spanish
pretender is quoted as saying: IF, in
spite OF all. war should come. the United
States would surely have the worst OF
it. 1t is true that she has more money
and men than Spain. but in war there
are o;her decisive factors which the IN
tied States lacks, and of which Spain
has a s%upertluous stock" As the Don
has locked away the solution OF his in
ternational riddle, it would be well for
President Mckinley to summon ut once
the aggregate wisdom o: his cabinet,
with a view to thinking hard or formu-
lating a request that the pretender en-

TOLEAYE CHICAGO.
millionaire Allerton Tires of its Dirt
and Smoke.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-Samuel w. Allerton,
millionaire packer, miner, eX-candidate
for mayor and man of public affairs, has
decided to leave Chicago. Lake Geneva,
Wis, will be his home as soon as his af-
fairs can be arranged.
Il won't say I am disgusted with Chi
cago,' said the millionaire, but am glad
to get away. Look at my hands! That is
Chicago smoke dirt on them. I have
given much money and time in the fight
against smoke, but Chicago is just as
dirty as ever. The elections in this city
for several years have not been such as
to make man proud of Chicago politics.
The main reason why I have decided to
leave Chicago is because the Cook county
authorities have taken an unfair attitude
toward me in regard to my personal prop
erty outside of Cook county The county
treasurer's office has informed me that l
must pay tax on all personal property
owned by me into the Cook county treas
ury will refuse, and I must move out
of the state, and in that way can pay my
taxes to the authorities in each county in
which I hold possessions"
Mr. Allerton's business interests in the
city will be turned over to his son, and
he will direct the management of his vast
holdings from Lake Geneva.

MEAT FOR THE S.
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa
Will Control It-Live Stock
Feeding.

Fort Worth, Tex. Nov. 23.-James L.
Harris of the Chicago Union stockyards
has just completed a trip over Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado. He
says % per cent more cattle and 35 per
cent more sheep will be fed this season
in the corn belt states than ever before.
Swift & Co. alone have $4,000 sheep on
feed. mostly in Nebraska, and at Fort
Collins, Col, 100000 sheep are being fed.
He says there are 100000 sheep and 2,5OO.-
600 cattle being fed in Nebraska alone,
and that Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and
Iowa will control the meat supply.
Nebraska is getting most of the Texas
feed cattle, there being 65, 600 head now on
feed along the Northwestern road. Mr..
Harris is preparing a paper on the live
stock industry to be read at a meeting to
be held at Denver January 1926. 1t will
show statistics covering the meat supply
and demand of the United States, what
comes to the great markets, where it is
killed and where the meat goes; also. sta
tistics relating to the supply and demand
of San Francisco, Portland, Chicago St.
Louis and other large cities.

WHITE HOUSE RECEPTIONS
Official Programme for 1898 Has
Been Issued.

Washington, Nov. 23-The official
programme for the receptions of 1898
at the White House by President and
Mrs. Mckinley has been issued 1t is
as follows:
January 1, Saturday, Presidents pub
lie reception IL a. IN. to 1870 p. m.
January 5, Wednesday, diplomatic,
judicial and congressional reception, 8
to IL p. m.
January Z. Friday, cabinet dinner s
p. m.
January p. Wednesday. diplomatic
dinner s p. m.
January 10. Wednesday, Judicial and
congressional reception 9 to IL p. m.
January 26, Wednesday, supreme
court dinner p. m.
February ?. Wednesday, army and
navy reception to II D. m.
February g. Wednesday, cOngressiOn-
al, diplomatic and judicial reception 9
to Il p. m.
February Is. Wednesday, public re-
ceptiOn to IL p. m.
Invitations Will not include all the re-
ceptiOns but during the season all per-
sons in official life will be invited. The
official prOgrammer for the division Of
the receptions says:
January 8, Wednesday, the diplomat
ic corps; the supreme court; the con-
gress.
January 10, Wednesday. the supreme
court and judiciary; part of the con-
gress; part of the press.
February 2, Wednesday,, the army;
the navy and marine corps; part of
congress.
February 9, Wednesday, part of con-
gress; the diplomatic corps; the judi
ciary; part of the press; government
officials
All of these events except the New
Years reception and the public recep-
tiOns will be by card invitation Only
those invited will be present; but all
who are invited will be given an OpDOr-
tunity to be present at least once dur
ing the season. The avoidance of ex-
cessive and dangerous crowding will
add to the attractiveness of all the re-
ceptiOns.
This is a decided change from the
previous official receptions, when invi-
tatiOns included all persons in official
life for the receptions. 1t is stated
that the division has been made to
avoid large crowds at the receptions,
but 1T is an innovation that doubtless
viii cause considerable animated talk
in Washington society circles.

THE second division of our railroad"
said he, will be an aerial tramway from
the mouth of Dyea canon over the Chill

proper condition on it's arrival at the
Dyea canon early in January next. The
capacity of the road will be 250 passen-
gers and $50 tons of freight daily"
