The Alton Advance and Enter
prise have been merged into one
publication under the somewhat
loud.sounding and perhaps sig
nifcent name of The Alton Rough
Riders. The name is associated
with the charges of these fighters

and with the "promp and circum-
stance of glorious war;" but as
town builders and teachers of the
great arts of peace it may be a diff
ferent matter.

SHORT CHAPTER ON DOGS.
What a Great Dane is Not Edwin
GouId's Dogs.

A dissolution of partnership IS
probable: Edgar Smith don't feel like
continuing business relations with
anyone who knows no more about
dogs than to declare Great Dane to
be in reality Russian bloodhound.
He states the Great Dane to be a Ger
man mastitf; further that Bismarck
owned the finest dogs OF this breed in
the vorld-and incidentally that his
own dog is close kinsman to those OF
the "Iron Chancellor" And, by the
way, Mr.. Smiths dog, by reason of
size and affected ferocity, threatens
to drive all the neighbors off the block,
though in reality it would not harm a
kitten.
An idea of the Great Dane and the
interest shown in their breeding may
be gathered from an incident of the
late St. Louis bench (or dog show. +.
Heretofore the sire of VIM. Howell's
dog, owned at Kansas City, has taken
all premiums. But last year Edwin
Gould, who is great dog fancier, sent
to Europe for Great Dane, paying
SIC, 900 for him and with this animal
took the premium over the Kansas
City dog. Young Gould came on to
ST. Louis with his dogs and thelI
keepers week before the show open
ed and went TO as much trouble and
mains as Lorillard does with his stable
of racers or as George Gould does with
his racing yacht.

DECLINE THE DEAL.
POttawatOmfe Indians in Session at
Hartford IL efuse to Deed Lands
10 Chicago Men.

Niles, June 10.--The recent meeting
of the Pottawatomies at Hartford TO
consider the Chicago claims ended
without any agreement with the Chi
cago men. Lawyer Smith, of Washing
ton, tried hard to have the Indians sign
q deed giving the Chicago men a clear
title to the property aud in return lie
was to interest the powers at Washing
ton in behalf of the Indians and secure
II large tract of land south of Chicago
for them, for which they could get a
large sum of money. But past deal
ings with the white men have made
poor Lo cautious and the Indians abso-
lutely refused to sign away their rights.
The Indians appointed committee of
seven of their people to push their
claim and then adjourned. Joe Cush-
away, full-blooded Pottawatomie, of
Ludington, is the recognized leader. He
is quite wealthy.

CROPS VERY POOR.


Lansing, June 9.-Secretary of State
Stearns reports that wheat in Michigan
has not been in as poor condition as il
is to-day in many years. The crop has
steadily declined since last fall, all con-
ditions having been against its prog
ress, and now the estimate for the state
is but AZ per cent. of an average crop.
Corn, oats. barley, meadows and pota-
toes are in excellent condition. All
fruits except peaches and pears prom
Use fairly well. Peaches are estimated
at six and pears at 40 per cent. of an
average crop. Other crops are gen.
orally in good condition, with the ex-
ception of sugar beets, the seed of
which has rotted in the ground in many
localities. The acreage of beets i'm 172
townships in the state this year is l0,S2s
acres. Canker worms are reported 10
have done great damage in over so per
cent. of the orchards of the state.

Queens Wealth.

Her majesty Queen Victoria will be
the first sovereign of England who
ever had any money to leave to her
family. All of her predecessors on the
throne bequeathed a choice assert
ment Of debts to their posterity, which
parliament was called upon to make
the people pay. But while our queen
permitted us to be taxed for the set
tlement of the private obligations of
George ", and William ", she her.
self paid all the debts of her father,
the duke of Kent.
There is food for much speculation
as to the disposition of her majesty's
immense property. The bulk of it
will, of course, go to the Prince of
Wales, and ii has been asserted that
the best estates are entailed upon the
queens successors with the condition
that they shall not be mortgaged or
alienated in any way. The palace Of
Osborne will probably be given to the
queens favorite daughter, Princess
Beatrice, who is also expected to in
herit the fortunes of the Empress Eu-
genie.
