same ROYAL DOGS.
Nearly All h Sovereigns Of Europe Ar
Fond Of, Canine Pets. :

Nearly All the Sovereigns Of Europe Are
Fond Of Canine Pets. Il
Nearly every one of the sovereigns
Of Europe, it appears, has one or more
pet dogs. The collies of Queen Victoria,
the fox terriers Of Princess Beatrice,
with Jock as prime favorite, are known
at least by hearsay to everybody.
The emperor Of Russia is also a great
lover of dogs. A London paper reports
that he is always accompanied in his
walks by a couple CT fine Danish
hounds, whose strength and vigilance
their master considers his best safe
guard. The grave car is often seen
playing with these monster pets. He
himself has taught them their tricks.
and they are nearly always about him.
The king of Greece shares the czar's
taste for the Danish hounds, which are
as intelligent as they are strong, and
which, with hardly a bark to
their intentions, will fly at the throat
Of any II whom their master may
point out to them in case of need.
When the empress Of Austria goes Oh
her long walks or rides, several pet
dogs always accompany her. But per-
haps the most widely known Of all the
''royal Dogs Of the present day is
Black. the pet dog of the Russian Grand
Duke Alexis.
Black is a sportsman's dog, of no
very aristocratic breed. Indeed, if the
truth must be told, he is a member Of
the race of mongrels which the fisher
men in the south of France take out to
sea, employing them to recapture any
willy fish that may fall through the
meshes of their nets OF slip suddenly
back into its element after it has been
once landed on board the barge. Black
is still rejoicing in the days of his
youth, but his record, not only as a
common fisherman but as a fisher of
men, " is already great, for he has saved
no fewer than six persons from a watery
grave.
Some three or four years ago the
Grand Duke Alexis was staying at
Biarritz. One stormy night he went out
on the cliff to get a view of the angry
sea. A boat was just being wrecked be-
low, and he saw a dog dashing with
angry growls and barks into the water
and bringing to land, one by one, three
drowning men, while the crowd cheered
the brave m%ongrel to the echo. The
grand duke approached to caress the
dog, and the animals master then
offered Black to him, refusing to accept
any paymenr.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

New and Rather Racy Develop
Opments Are Promised in
the Deal.
State Inspection Department
Likely to Be Unpleasantly
Involved.
Elevator Men Promise a Better
Grade, but 1t Is Doubted If
They Have 1t.

CHICAGO, Dec. 20. Joseph Letter has
with George A. Seaverns, the grain
elevator owner, as to the quality of
wheat to be delivered on Letters con-
tracts. Letters commission men, Alex.
ander Geddes & Co., sem the steamer
Iron King last week to Seaverns' ele-
vator, the Alton, to load with No. 2
red winter wheat. BY the time 5000
bushels of the steamers cargo Of $4,000
bushels had been spouted into it's hold,
Letters private inspectors turned the
wheat down. They declared it not up
to contract quality. Mr.. Seaverns now
offers to take the wheat out of the yes.
sci and to give a different grade. Lei.
ter and his commission men say the big
fight Of the great wheat deal is now on;
that they intend to get just the kind Of
wheat they bought and no poorer.
They have a fleet ST vessels, of which
the Iron King is only one, ready to take
all the No. 2 red winter wheat for
which they hold contracts in the Alton
elevator, about 27O, 900 bushels.
State MAJ Be Implicated.
It was given out that the elevator
people would remove the wheat already
in the boat and tender a new lot. Elk.
citing times may follow. The Letter
people look for the same sort of wheat
over again, claiming that the Alton
grain.has been mixed down too fine and
that it is too late tt change it. If this
happens the private inspectors employed
by Letter will protest, the appeals COM
mittee will at once be called anew and
the fight will be made over again.
If it should happen that the appeals
committee should throw out any guam.
tity of the grain rendered by any ele.
vator, a sensation might follow. The
state grain inspection department has
inspected the grain into the houses,
thereby permitting warehouse receipts
to be issued against it. The state could
be held responsible in case it developed
its employees had been too lenient.
There are about 5000, 0OO bushels of
contract wheat in the Chicago eleva-
tors. Letter owns it all. 1t is still in
the possession of the elevator people.
Certain cargoes were taken from Ar.
mour and found very satisfactory. It
is, however, only as Letter begins to
load wheat out of the grain elevators
that he can tell what kind of grain he
is to get on his contracts.

DICKINSON JURY WRESTLED IN
VAIN TO REACH A vER-
DICT.
CONTINUED A TERM.
As IN THE FIRST TRIAL JURORS
STOOD TEN TO TWO FUR AC-
QUITTAL.
FATE OF A LONELY BATHER.
John Lepl<e Drowned I'm the Missis-
sippi-Newc ~s the Mill
City.

The jury in the case of the state
against Aid. c. E. Dickinson, accused
of bribery, failed to agree and was
yesterday discharged by Judge Ell
lott. 1t developed that the sticking
point was the corroborating evidence,
which they did not think strong
enough.
At the outset, the vote stood seven
for acquittal, five for conviction. Short
ly there were but four men for the
state, Jurors Clough, Clerihew, Thayer
Hall. Thayer left first, and finally
Clerihew, leaving only H. G. Clough
and j. H. Hall for the state, and thus
it stood al the end.
Speaking of the cross point, one of
the best posted attorneys at the bar,
and once a Judge, said:
The jury made the mistake of
thinking they had to decide law points.
If it was normally certain that Dick
inson received the money, then they
should have voted guilty, for the
court alone has to say if the verdict
is sustained by the evidence. The
jury should have borne in mind that,
in the famous New York aldermanic
Doodle cases, the courts held that the
action of the city council, and it's vote
alone, was sufficient confederation. In
the Dickinson case they not only had
the action of the council, but several
other branches also. In fact, 1t is
hardly possible to get stronger corrob-
grafton of bribery than in this case"
The court continued the case over the
term

500 LINE INSURANCE.
New System Arranged for the Bene-

The 500 line has started a new sys-

employees. 1t has a scheme to idemnify
the employees against sickness and In
jury. There is no death provision, and
the whole plan is merely to provide
means of eliminating the haunting fear
that so many railroad men have that
they may be laid off" on account Of
sickness and that their families will
suffer thereby.
A circular is out, signed by General
Manager F. d. Underwood, of the 500,
reading as follows:
Attention is called to the arrange
ments which have been made with the
Detroit Sanitarium company, Detroit,
Mich, to insure such officers and en-
ployeS of this company as are in sound
health and bodily condition, medical
and surgical treatment, medicine and
board in case of sickness or injury, in
the Detroit Sanitarium or any of its
associated institutions, including st.
BarnaboS Minneapolis; Bethesda, st.
Paul, and st. Mary's, Rhinelander. In
lieu Of such hospital care and treat
ment a money allowance is made for
the payment of bills of physicians and
surgeons incurred at home in accord
ance with the terms of the certificates
issued by the Sanitarium company.
Certificates containing a provision
