BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.

There seems to be ''mad dog"
scare at Laurel Ridge near Big Cove
Tannery. Last week B.Frank Shives's
dog showed signs of discomfort so
greatly that the attention of the family
was attracted. On Wednesday morn
ing of last week, Mrs. Shives thought
it prudent to tie the dog, and attempt
ing to do so, the dog bit her in the
hand. She did not become thoroughly
frightened about the matter until Sat
urday, when her hand gave her pain,
and she learned that the dog had been
roaming over the neighborhood, and
had bitten a dog belonging to William
Brown at Potts Mill, and also one of
Robert Mellott's. DR.. Garthwaite was
consulted, and, on Sunday evening,
Mrs. Shives and the Doctor left for
Baltimore where she will undergo the
Pasteur treatment ut the Johns Hop
kins hospital. We sincerely trust
that Mrs. Shives may not suffer Sc
riously from the wound.

John A. Henry filed the Com

place he lost his pocket book.
He was at the Ashton Hotel at
Robertsdale, paid his bill and
went home. 1t was half-past ten
o'clock when he reached home,
only to discover that his pocket
book was missing. Where did he
lose it? Yes, that was the ques-
tion, and he could have easily got
ten it if he had known that. But
it was too valuable to let go with
out making an effort to find it; so
he at one dispatched a team, and
the road was scrutinized closely.

the Ashton hotel was reached,

departure, handed it over prompt

editorial party long to thoroughly d.
gest.
For it the editorial thanks are due,
first, to the Grand Trunk Railroad,
whose officers made it possible. Never
in the history of the association has
such care and attention been extended
to it by any railroad. The editorial
train passed over a part of all four of
its passenger divisions, and every
where the arrangements for handling
it were made with the thought only
of having every detail of the service
conduce to the pleasure of the excur-
sionists and their convenience. The
Grand Trunks passenger department
is both family and a machine. There
is the strongest possible personal
fealty between the members of the
force, from the humblest clerk to the
head, of this branch of the service
Not only is there obedience to instruc-
lions, but somewhat close look into
their methods shows every one sitting
up nights and scheming off-hours to
see if somehow, some way they can
do something to further the interest
of the Grand Trunk, while every sub.
ordinate knows that he can always

will always be a warm spot in the
heart of each of the editorial party
fer the Grand Trunk and for it's more
than courteous officials, and it was
with the utmost pleasure that we
learn that at the Paris Exposition the
Grand Trunks exhibit of views along
its route and the advertising Of it's
passenger department was awarded
the first prize, gold medal. And this
pleasure also is increased by our ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Charlton, the
roads advertising agent, who placed
us under many personal obligations.
It was indeed glorious trip, but
no impression brought back was
stronger than that eastern Canada in
the immediate future must have re-
markable commercial growth. All that
region is prosperous. It has remark
able wealth in timber and minerals as
vet little more than touched. 1t has
a splendid farming country. 1t has
its wonderful lake region, with of
fered gifts of health and pleasure. 1t
has vast wealth to carry out any
project. Its financial resources are
enormous and its foundations on
which to build commercial growth
through manufacturing and transpor-
tation are broad and deep. Quebec is

elegant through Pullman sleeping car
service to those cities, via Niagara
Falls; to Boston via Strst ford, Toron-
to and Montreal; to Toronto via
Stratford, and from Detroit to Buffalo
via London and Hamilton. Connec-
tons with convenient sleeper accom-
modations are also made for other
eastern points, and during the sum
mer through service is maintained for
Portland and Old Orchard Beach.
These trains are simply palaces on
wheels and no one going to any point
on the eastern coast Of the United
States or to eastern Canada can fail
in wisdom to take this route. So per-
feet has the road bed been made that
this heavy train at the high rate of
speed, equalled by few and excelled
by no through service, rides so
smoothly that writing and reading
are pleasures, and to travel becomes
no more tiresome than sitting at
home.
The Grand Trunk has the right to
be the favorite road to the east, and to
be prosperous, because of the country
it traverses. From leaving Chicago to
arriving at any terminal, it has
no stretches of dreary wastes, no
miles of stumps or desolation often
found on trans-continental routes, but
every mile is through the best and

of any size, and it and Montreal are
1000 miles nearer the wheat fields of
the northwest than is New York via
Chicago. All this tells tale of COM
mercial wonders to be, and soon to
be. TO see what is and what is to
be, to learn the Importance of the
mutual trade relations of the United
States and Canada, to form basis for
intelligent study as to what those re-
lations should be, all this, added to
the mere sightseeing, made this trip
through eastern Canada one of great
Importance and of great value.
The members of the association are
deeply appreciative of substantial
courtesies extended by Hon. r. C..
Dunn, state auditor. and Col. C. J.
Monfort of the Windsor hotel of St.
Paul, while the beautiful itinerary of
the trip presented jointly by the Kel-
logg Newspaper company, the Mime
sofa Type Foundry and the American
Press association was a souvenir that
was keenly relished and will long be
treasured by every recipient. No less
a delightful courtesy was the presen-
tation of the magnificent enameled
metallic badge presented to members
by Mr.. Will j. White in behalf of the
immigration department of the Do
minion of Canada. Its appropriate

most fruitful country, and every mile
has its scenes of beauty. Passing
through a corner of Indiana, through
a succession of intrusting towns, it
leaves the state at South Bend, real
ly charming city. whose busy fac
tories, pretty paved streets, fine
houses and business blocks, and PIC
turesque river, are seen to advantage
from the train. Across Michigan the
important cities of Battle Creek, Ian
sing and Flint are seen, and there are
good views of the great Sanitarium,
the states capital building and the
factories and mills. Then at Port HUI
ron, the train whirls without delay
through the great tubular steel term
inal under the river, and is in Canada.
Eastern Canada is splendid coun-
try, fruitful and prosperous, and the
Grand Trunk here networked the very
best of it all. Indeed, from Detroit
and Port Huron to Buffalo, Niagara
Falls and Toronto on the south and the
Lake Huron and Georgian Bay points
on the north, there is little Of rail
road Importance except the Grand
Trunk. 1t not only covers the splen-
did farming country north of Lakes
Erie and Ontario, but the rich timber
and mineral region and magnificent
incession of lake resorts. Indeed,
when one stops to think, first, of what
we saw on the trip, that succession
of scenic wonder: the Muskoka lakes,
the Thousand Islands, the ST., Law
renee rapids. Montreal, with it's hun
dreds of magnificent churches, and it's
views from Mount Royal; Quebec,
that bit of ancient Europe, and the
glorious outlook from the citidal over
the bay, with the Laurentian noun
tairs in the distance; the MontmoEen-
ci Falls, three hundred feet of falling
feathers; Ottawa, in many ways the
most beautiful city Of Canada, with
it's Parliament buildings, which, in
the perfection of their architecture,
are not excelled on this continent;
the splendid Ottawa and Rideau river
scenery, and the Chaudiere Falls, and
things of all that was left unseen, we
wonder that any one ever travels on
any other road, save from necessity.
But to begin our trip back at St.
Paul, we started out with five Pull
man vestibuled sleepers and day
coach over the Chicago Great Western
road, which has proved it's excellence
by its popularity and by gathering in
passenger and freight business in
way that startles it's rivals. The as
ISOLATION is under obligatio especial
Iy to Mr.. S. C. Stickney, the general
manager, to Mr.. F. H. Lord, the gen
eral passenger agent, and to Mr.. ]. P.
Elmer. the local agent at St. Paul, for
great courtesy and kindness. The
Great Western handled our train
splendidly, and nothing was neglected
that would add to the pleasure of the
trip On the return change of
schedule made necessary a breakfast
at Oelwein, where the local agent
