u peculiar looking package. Ii had the
general appearance OF a gun case, except
that IL was extremely short and inordi-
nately thick. While he was registering

guests got into n heated discussion as to
the character of the queer parcel, and one
of them finally made bold to introduce
himself and PROFOUND the question TO the
man with the black beard. He smiled.
1.-THE case contains a gun" he said, and
proceeded to extract a singular weapon.
The stock was like that of any ordinary
shotgun, but the barrel was fully four
inches in diameter and covered with
leather. At the breech there was a square
box garnished with several little levers.
'I am an amateur ornithologist," he con-
tinued, and this is a gun camera for the

Afectionate Dogs.

Montpelier Argus: An illustration
Of the devotion of animals occurred
last Saturday, the chief actors being
the two dogs of G.. p. Pitkin, n an
Irish and the other al English setter.
The dogs are devoted to each other,
and are together almost continually.
Last Saturday the Irish setter went
on the ice on the river behind Mr.. Pit
kin's residence and broke through
when near the opposite side, being
precipitated into the water. The ami
NAL made desperate efforts to get out,
but the ice continued to break on the
edge under it's paws every time it at
tempted to climb out. In this way
the dog moved to near the center of
the river, where the swift current COM
menced to drawi it under the ice. When
the dog broke into the river the Eng
lish setter appeared to be greatly dis
turbed, and when it failed to get out
rushed up and down, evidently trying
to devise some plan for a rescue.
When, however, the dog commenced
to be drawn under the ice, the Eng
lish setter set up n heart-breaking
howl and ran to the barn, where
George Fitzgerald was at work, and
barking and evidently trying to tell
him to follow, at last got him to the
river bank, where he saw what had
happened and pulled out the other
animal from the river. When the Irish
setter reached the shore the other
seemed overcome, and barked and
made the most e~xtravagant demon
STATIONS of joy, tapping the other and
very plainly showing that it realized

escaped, and its t~hankfulness there

Blizzard i'm the Black Hills.

Deadwood, Feb. Mot for years
has there been such a heavy snowfall
in the northern Hills. The storm
seems to have been confined to higher
attitudes and to the Black Hills, for
very little snow is reported on the
ranges. For six days snow fell every
day, and at times the storm took the
violence of a blizzard. The wagon
roads in all directions from Deadwood
were drifted full, and on the narrow
gauge railroads, which go to the
mines, only half of the time was it
possible for the trains to run. No
train reached Crown Hill station, at
Ragged Top, for four days. In Dead
wood the snow is from two to three
feet deep, and up in the mountains it
is four feet On the level. The weather
remained warm throughout the storm.

I'VE imagine the news will strength
en- the determination of America II
take up the white mans burden"
The Daily Graphic says:
by THIS act of folly the Insurgents
have not only courted defeat. But have
regularized the position of the Amer
icans in the archipelago and have prob
ably obtained for President Mckinley
a free hand in the expansion policy,
which the senate has seemed reluctant
to give him"
The Daily Chronicle says:
"The Filipinos have helped to assure
the ratification Of the peace treaty"
The Standard says;
"The paucity of news and the bold.
ness OF the rebels In thir attack upon
Manila are ominous and II In not I'M
likely that the Americans will have a
series Of toilsome campaigns over the
scattered islands"
The Daily News says.
THE fact that American blood has
been shed will secure, we imagine, the
immediate ratification of the peace
treaty. The Filipinos have shown
their unftness for self government at
the very outset by a rash and untimely
manifestations"

Object 10 the Division.

Deadwood, Feb. 4.-Considerable
objection is made by the Black Hills
press to the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Littlefeld, Of Meade and Butte
counties, relative to the division of the
state into two new congressional dis
t~ricts, placing the Black Hills coun-
ties and all of the unorganized coun-
ties west of the Missouri river, except
the county of Stanley, and the first
two tiers of counties in the southern
part of the state together for the First
district and all of the remaining coun-
ties of the state for the Second dis
trict.
The objection to the bill is that the
Black Hills would not be apt to get a
congressman for many years, the pop
ulation of the eastern counties of the
district being so much larger than
that of the Hills. 1t would be more
satisfactory to the Black Hills people
to make the division line north and
south with the Hills counties and a
few east of the river in the first dis
trict.
