CHILD SAVED BY A DOG.
Animal DrREs Infant to shelter
From storm.

FREMONT, Neb., Aug. PA shepherd
dog belonging to Fred BALI, jr., yesterday
saved the life of his masters two and {
half year old child who was lost for nine
teen hours in terrific rainstorm. the
little one wandered away from his home
at p. m, with the dog as his companion.
When the child was missed a search was
instituted. At 9 p. m. a heavy storm
broke and the anxious parents, aided by
a hundred neighbors and friends, redoubled
their exertions TO discover the child.
All night long in the wind and rain the
men tramped the woods and fields, waving
lanterns and calling out the childs name.
II was not until p. m that the despairing
searchers found the child safely sheltered
behind a large rock on the bank Of a creek.
with the dog standing guard over him. 1t
was evident that the dog had dragged him
to the shelter where he was found

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat steady, with Corn Dull, Hut
Prices Averaging Higher

CHICAGO Aug 27.-Wheat ruled very
steady today and closed about S-Se higher
than Saturday. Liverpool did not sympa-
thize with our decline, closing is higher
Paris and Antwerp were unchanged. There
was a fair local trade, the market re-
ceiving support from some OF the prom
inent local operators. The holiday tomor-
row, however, tended to restrict business.
The statistical returns were generally IA
vorable.
The corn market was dull, but prices
averaged higher than Saturday under some
fair buying by two leading commission
houses of September and October. There
was more rain in the West and little ap-
prohension was expressed over the very
cool temperatures in the Northwest. Liv-
erpoo was steady, 1-Sd higher.
In spite of the Indiana crop report, which
estimated a yield double that of year
ago cats were fairly strong, closing about
the same price as Saturday. Trading was
light and confined to changing Receipts

of the large hog receipts being Offset by a

DOWN NORTH AND UP ALONG. By Margareii
Warner Morley limo, PIP. SO4. Doou' meau
Co
Naturally the people in this part Of the coun-
try do not look with favor upon annexation
saws Margaret Warner Morley in the chapter
on "Acadia's Crops in Down North and Up
Along" They say, Look at the American
farmer then look at us One does not like to look
at the American farmer and then at them The
farmer here is the man of the community. He
is rich-in a mild way-and he is sure of COM
Portable living from his titled acres. He feeds
the rest OF the world, and in return is allowed
enough to eat himself" This passage will give
an adequate idea Of the style and point OF view
of the writer She evidently went on her travels
determined to see everything and to enjoy as
much as she could. She did see a good deal, and,
though plainly not very skilled or facile writer
she has conveyed her impressions very pleasant
ly. At any rate, she makes it plain that those
people who desert America every year to seek
rest and diversion in Europe turn their backs
a lovely country very near their doors, country
full OF beauty and charm and historical asso-
citation. This volume, which is illustrated with
some excellent photographs. may be warmly
commended to readers who have not decided
where to go for their holidays. II they like to
move about they could not do better than to
follow the course of the authors wanderings
But let us hope that they will not take
pessimistic view of the British soldiers as Miss
Morley took in Halifax. MANY of them are GER
tainly round shouldered, and with their bright
red coats and tiny round caps perched on an
angle of the head and held in place by straps
under the chin they look irresistibly like the
long tailed gentleman who sits the hand
organ and doffs his cap for pennies that 1t is
difficult to contemplate them with the respect
due their glorious calling" This is really too
bad.

The complications in China have started a
small avalanche from the publishing houses of
books relating directly or indirectly to the Chi

year uncommonly active in its output of serious
