DECORATED BY VICTORIA.
Unusual Honor Bestowed Upon Two
English Military Dogs Who
Had Fought Well.

Army pets whose sterling worth is
appreciated by their masters and their
masters cronies are numberless. but
dogs who rise to the position of "regi-
mental PETS" who become part and par
eel of the regiment at home and in &C
ton, and who receive official recogni-
ton, are comparatively few.
Bob" was the regimental pet of the
Second battalion, Royal Berkshires, and
a soldier dog to the backbone. He ac-
companied his regiment to Afghanistan
and went through the battle of Mai
wand, one of the most terrific days
fighting that has been known during
the last generation.
Man after man was cut down, but Bob
would not be denied his share in the
fray. He kept on running to the front,
barking fiercely at the enemy, until at
Iengtha bullet laid him low. The wound
was serious enough, as it tore nearly
all the skin off his back. but he recov-
cred and once again accompanied his
old corps into action.
When eAe regiment returned to Eng
land the next year Bob received great
honor at the hands of the queen, her
majesty not only decorating him with
bAC 4dCddI III LlIC Out y IHS
it round his neck with her own hands
when the regiment paraded before her
at Osborne house.
Like many another warrior, Bob did
not live long to enjoy the blessings of
peace. In a little more than year he
was run over and killed in the Isle of
Wight.
''Regimental Jack" the Scots Guards
dog, took part in the, hottest fights in
the Crimea. He became the pet of the
guards in a curious fashion.
One cold winters night he was found
by a sentry in ST. James Palace gar
dens. Some one had been brutally i'll
treating him and had ended by f1inging
him over the high wall.
In befriending the poor animal the
sentry left his post, and this dereliction
of duty being discovered he was placed
in the guardroom under arrest. The
dog followed his protector, and on hear
ing the story the officer was so touched
by the dogs gratitude that the prisoner
was released, with the proverbial eau
ton.
Henceforth Jacks fortunes were to
be bound up with those of the Scots
Guards.
When the regiment went to the
Crimea he very soon showed the stuff
of which he was made. AT Alma he
saved the life of his protector, and aft
erward carried a flask of brandy to the
wounded.
At Inkerman he was woended in the
right foot, after literally performing
prodigies of valor. With his two-legged
comrades he charged and with tooth
and nail went for his country's enemies
The fight over, the faithful animal
went joyfully to find his protector.
Find him he did, but it,was among the
slain, and Jack was disconsolate.
When the regiment came home the
queen graciously noticed Jack, and he
was invested with miniature Victoria
cross and the Crimean medaIs; but he
pinned from sheer lack of interest in life,
and one morning shortly afterward he
was found beneath the snow, sleeping
his last sleep.-New illustrated Maya

Cat was a Great Traveller.

A cat has just died in San Francisco
who had travelled nearly million
miles. He belonged to the chief en-
gineer of the royal mail steamer Ala
dema, and for IS years was his COM
panion on board ship in all his voyages
between Sydney aad San Francisco.
With the passengers this remarka bic
cat was great favorite, and on COM
pleting 100000 miles he was presented
with a silver collar.

USED GIANT. POWDER.
Mining Property Destroyed by Rioters ..
W0rdner, Ida.


Wardner, Ida.
WARDNER. Ida, May 1.-Saturday's
rioting here was the worst since the
deadly labor war of 1892. One man is
dead, another is thought to be mortally
wounded and property valued at $780,
600 has been destroyed by giant powder
and fire.
The damage was done by union min
ers and sympathizers from Canyon
Creek. A MOI of from 500 to 1000
men, all of them armed and many of
them masked, seized train at Burke,
the head Of Canyon creek. The visitors
brought with them 5000 pounds of
giant powder. After a parley Of two
hours l40 masked men. armed with
Winchester rifles, started for the Bun
ker Hill and Sullivan mill. They sent
plckets ahead and one of the pickets
fired shot as signal that the mill was
abandoned. This was misunderstood
by the main body of the mob, who i'm
aglned that non-union miners in the
hills had opened fire on them, and they
Began to Fire Upon Their Own Pickets.
About 900 shots were thus exchanged
between the rioters and their pickets,
and Jack Smith, one Of the pickets,
formerly of British Columbia and a
noted figure in drill contests, was shot
dead. The fatal error was discovered
after few seconds firing and Smiths
body brought down from the hillside.
By this time the strikers had taken
possession of the Bunker Hill and Sulli-
van mill. which they found desc rted.
the manager having directed his en-
ployes not to risk their lives by battling
with the mob. Powder was called for
and six 50-pound boxes were carried
from the depot to the mill. The heavi-
est charge was pl aced under the brick
office buildings. Other charges We're
placed around the MILL Then the
Boarding House Was Burned.
A fuse leading to the charges was
lighted and the strikers, carrying the
| dead body of the picket, retired to a
safe distance. At 1886 p. m. the first
blast went off. It shook the ground
for miles and buildings in Wardner,
two miles away, trembled At inter-
walls Of about 60 seconds four of the
charges went off, the fifth being the
largest, completely demolishing the
MILL
In few minutes the strikers went
back to the station, the whistle was
blown for stragglers, the mob climbed
aboard and at 3 o'clock, just three hours
after its arrival, the train started for
Canyon Creek. The $50 mont union
| miners at the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mill had warning Of the coming of the
mob and left the mine and took to the
hills.

THE NEWTON TORNADO.

Fifteen Dead. Thirty. In jured and Fifty
Families Homeless.
CHILL1cOTHE, Mo-, April 29.-Scenes
of utter distress and desolation were
pictured in the little tornado-swept
burg of Newton, 40 miles from here on
the St. Paul road. A day of ceaseless
search among the ruins and work for
the injured and suffering followed a
night of gloom and despair. Fifty
families are homeless, there are about
fifteen dead and over thirty injured,
while half of the place is in ruins. A
complete list of casualties will not be
known for several days.
The storm struck Newton at 6:15 in
,he evening, coming from the south
west. 1t came without warning and
few were able to take advantage of
their storm cellars. Striking the east
ern end of town it cut clean swath
500 to 900 feet wide through the best
portion Of the place, sweeping every
thing before it. Over 80 houses were
torn to splihters. On one street alone a
row OF 10 houses was entirely demol-
ished. Here scarcely any one escaped
death or injury.
