A MAD DOG.
RUNS ON THE STREET OF
WELLINGTON.


Its owner Warren Gott is Badly Bitten.
The Dog is still at large.pMr. Gott has
gone to Chicago. for Treatment.
The citizens of Wellington were
thoroughly aroused Thursday morn
ing over the anne uncement that d
large shepherd dog supposed to be
mad had bitten his owner, Warren
Colt, living back Of the depot, and had
bitten several dogs and was still at
large.
For several DAYS Mr.. Gott had notic-
ed that the dog did not act as usual,
and appeared to be sick. Thinking
perhaps that the dog had been
poisoned, he tied him up in the barn
Thursday morning. He went to the
barn Friday morning to let him loose,
he had no sooner done so, than he at
once saw that the dog was not right.
As soon as the dog was out of the barn
he began swapping at the chickens and
various other objects. Mr.. Gott at
tempted to get him back into the barn
and had nearly succeeded in doings so,
when attempting to close the door
the dog made leap to get out and Mr..
Gott caught him, in SO doing the dog
bit him severely on the left hand.
The dog gained its liberty and went
out on the street, where he attacked
a dog owned by Geo. Metzger, and bit
it several times, whereupon the auth
orties instructed that the dog be killed.
The mad dog ran through the streets
down to the southern part of town GO
ing toward Huntington. Several per-
sons gave chase, but were unable to
locate him. A report came into town
Friday afternoon to the effect that the
dog was at the farm OF Miles Sutliff,
living two miles east OF town, and had
bitten several geese. AS to the cor
rectness of this statement we were I'M
able to ascertain. The latest report
that we have is that the dog was seer
in LAGRANGE.
After being bitten Mr.. Gott went
to the office of Dr. Holidays where
the wounds we're canterized and dress
ed, he left that evening on the latt
train for Chicago, Ills, where the Pas
teur treatment will be applied whicl
will last from ten to fourteen days
4 Mr. Colts hand was swoileIi consider
ably as was also his arm, but sIffere'
no severe pain. A telegram was re
ceived by his son Saturday, from
Chicago, stating that he was feelin
well, and felt confident thNt the treat
ment would be a sure cure. Variou
persons have expressed their opnio
as to whether the dog was really ma
and had the rabies, and that the auth
orties were to hasty in shooting tn
Metzger dog, and that both dog
should have Deen caught and held

is always essential to take proper pre-

Congress. to Back MCKINLEY,

Ou& AO40 W 1DdSN VIII Hu1Gys
Congress is Republican in both
branches. President Mckinley has
been given the supreme proof of the
nations devotion. The people have
spoken through the ballot box. They
have delivered both House and Senate
into the control of the friends of the
President and the cause of sound
money. The conduct of the war has
been approved. The reform of the cur
rency has been decreed.
The Senate has been re~volutiOnized.
From Il hostile camp it has been trans
formed into a body with IL majority of
Republicans. The Republican prepon-
derance in the House has been reduced
somewhat, but that was to be expected.
The party nevertheless will retain Il big
working majority. 1t will have votes
enough to organize the House and crys-
tallize the will of the nation into legis-
latiOn. The country has declared for
expansion. The nation has Endorsed
President McKinley's proposition that
''the fruits of the victories of the
nRtchless army and the peerless navy
shall be written into II treaty." The
President will have u friendly Congress
to aid him in the great constructive
work Of the next two years.-Chicago

Ten thousand pounds of powder, which
was being prepared for shipment in the

mill at Lamottc, No.. situated on the st.
Louis. Keokuk and Northern Railway,
thirty miles south of Quincy, ILL.,, exploded
at S o'clock Wednesday morning, tearing
into shreds the bodies of six men. who
were at work in the building Mt the time.
Pieces of flesh and bone were found
scattered over the ground a half-mile
from the scene of the explosion. These
We're gathered up in buckets by the en-
ployes of the mill. but Identification of any
of the parts found was an utter impossi-
bility. Several men working in the mill,
which was some little distance from the
packing house, were injured by broken
glass. and flying debris, but rone was fa.

tale. There was always some loose pow

1T is conjectured that some heavy article
was accidentally dropped into it by one Of
the men, causing it to ignite.

lighting Mines.

The extending use of electricity Is
we'll illustrated by its use for lighting
mines. The candle OF oil lamp of form
er days was not only dangerous in coal
mines, where there is likelihood of an
explosion. but it furnished a very i'm
perfect light and compelled the miner to
work in semi-darkness. Small electric
lamps, to be carried by the miners, were
introduced in France; but they were
Objectionable on account of their
weight-nearly five p%ounds-and also
because they would burn only a few
hours without being %recharged. The
lamps are now being attached to the
roofs Of the galleries, currents being es-
tablished by means of wires. BY this
means an abundance of continuous
light is obtained, but care NUS be ex-
ercised in insulating the wires, to pre-
vent friction or sparks which might
provoke an explosion or ignite sur
rounding woodwork.

How John Bulrs Purse Has Flllea

How John Bulls Purse Has Filled.
Those good old times that people
speak 80 regretfully about must have
existed at a very remote period of our
history If the statistics of John Bulls
wealth are to be trusted. In the year
1000 it is calculated that each man,
woman and child would have had Just
f22 IL all the wealth of the country
yer equally divided among the $780,
600 that lived in this island. In 1850
this sum was than doubled, each
persons share being f48. 1850 1t had
risen to Ell, and in 1900 1t reached the
splendid figure of EGO. The great wars
of the early part of the century then
began to tell on the money bags. so
each individuals share fell in 1922 to
f12O. But soon after 1t began to rise
again, and it has gone steadily upward
ever since. In 1888 the amount wal
ETA, in 1865 1t reached an even goo,
by 1875 1t had gone up to f28O, and by
1885 to f270. At present it may be set
down at ESQ, though authorities differ.
Thus, for every FL owned by the Briton
of the year 1000, the Briton Of the
present day owns Ella. And taking the
total wealth Of the country, II il 100
times az much now as it was three
centuries ago.-Golden Penny.

They all took their places in the boat,
and then the men On the shore gave the
boat a push and they We're off.
Mrs Carroll had over and over again
pictured the fearful Journey, but as is

A swirling about hidden rocks had
been her idea of the furious waters, the

ly passed. With the others in the boat
Mrs. Carroll took a paddle and worked
like a hero all the time. From the mo-
ment that the boat left the shore there
was no looking back. The angry
waters Immediately caught the boat,

the boat was handled properly, which
meant that she, as well as the rest,
must not relax vigilance for even a mo-

dear life. The canyon walls seemed to

The Urgent Need.

We can build ships as cheaply in the
United States us they are built in
Great Britain, but we must have them
to build in similar quantities in order
to do this.
What this country needs is Il law that
will make it us profitable for an Amer
lean to put his capital into an Ameri-
can-built ship for the foreign trade as
it ever was for him to put money into
a railroad or any other great protected
and prosperous American industry. To
do that the nation must recognize that
there are two distinct and different
standards-the American and the for
eign. To maintain our OWL standard
of wages and of living Il preference
must be created for the American ship
sufficient to enable it's owner to employ
native or naturaliZed citizens of the
United States to run them, and they
must be fed in a manner that is not de
grading to that citizenship. This is
impossible without such national legis-
lation.-New York Commercial.
