An exchange relates this story Of
Kansas bloodhound who was given
the following tests: He was given a
smell OF musk first and at the end of
two hours returned to his master
with a musk rat. The second trial
was by far the most difficult. A man
lost his fine poodle dog. The blood
hound was engaged. He was given "a
sniff OF the poodle's collar. He start
ed off. and wound up at the meat
market. Giving loud and prolonged
bowls he seized bologna sausage
and tore away to his master.

meeting the Hon David Bonham of

whom we had not seen for nearly
twenty-five years. Neither knew the

residents of Andrew county nearly
thirty years ago and knew each other
intimately. Hand shaking followed
and from Grand Junction eastward to

and the trip from Grand Junction to

These things, taken with the fact that
a certain young lady had been spending

to satisfy those concerned OF his irten-
tions. All conjectures were set at rest
to-day when a marked copy Of an At

GOLD ORDERED FOR EXPORT.
Grneco-TurI<fsh War Probably RE-
sponsible for the Movement.

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Tne Secre-
tary OF the Treasury to-day received q
telegram from Treasurer Jor-
dan. at New York, stating that $4,000
I'm gold bullion had been ordered for ex-
port. This is the first withdrawal of any
considerable amount since July 22. 1896.
when 81 100000 was withdrawn, the last
of heavy series OF shipments extend
ing through a number of months.
To-days order has been Anticipated
for number of days, sterling exchange
having been dangerously near the ship
ping point. The Treasury officials are
not disturbed. and do not anticipate any
general export movement. In any event,
they say they are perfectly sure that
European holders are not selling Ameri-
can securities because OF any distrust or
want OF confidence In them. The out
break of hostilties between Greece and
Turkey Is regarded as probably respon-
slble for the present demand for gold.
Further than this the officials do not care
10 express an opinion.
