A remarkable instance Of n dogs in.

Benton llarbor, Michigan. An English
setter belonging to one c. W. IIovey of
that place was stolen and taken on
board boat bound for Chicago. When
in midlakc he gnawed the rope attached
TO him and jumped into the water.
After swimming at least twenty miles,
and probably more, the dog arrived at
Benton llarbor at noon the following
day. The dog was said to be very hun,

The Great Falls Tribune. in lis issue

The Great Falls Tribune, in its issue
of August 9th, says among other things;
1.-The stock industries were built up
without the aid OF the desert land act
They have been an important factor in
the development of the state without
the aid of that law" This is absurd
and absolutely untrue as regards sheep.
There are very few woolgrowers in
Fergus county, the greatest wool
growing county in the state or the
United States, that rely upon the open
range for feed, They have taken ad-
vantage of all of the land laws in order
to make their business safe and perma.
nent The Tribune maintains that the
stock industry WIS built up on the open
range, which is also untrue, as both
cattle and sheep men soon found that
it was hazardous business and il they
were To succeed they must have hay
| lands and pasturagc Of their own. But
the. Tribune thinks il was not for the
security Of their industries that they
went 10 taking up land, but for the
purpose Of shutting ont the agricultur-
alsts. 1t says: Then they began to
see that their range would soon be in
demand for agriculture. They saw in
the desert layl act means TO checl,
development along that line and they
are ayaiing themselves of it," OF
course, IL their ranges were in de-
mand for agriculture" then manifestly
the stock industry, both cattle and
sheep, would be driven TO the wall.
lut this is not the fact. There is not
one claim in fifty taken up under the
desert land act for which there is any
"demaHd for agriculture, that is for
the raising Of cereals aud vegetables.
Thcsr lands aro wanted chiefly for hay
lands, for cattle. horse, and sheep; and
men Of moderate means See the ncccS.
sity Of having such lands as we'll as the

Change of Location.

Negotiations have been in progress
for some time for the purchase of q
site for new Immaculate Concep-
ton church between the trustees and
the owners of the property lying on the
corner of Ninth street and Mary Place,
near the Y. M. G. A. building. AS
the property in question is owned by
three individuals it has been some.
what difficult to get the parties to act
together, but it is now safe to say
that within thirty days, provided the
titles are all right, the transfer of
150x165 feet at the point specified will
be made in the usual legal way. The
price to be paid will be about $4,000
in the aggregate. The announcement
of the purchase has been prematurely
made in the daily papers. Unless I'M
foreseen circumstances arise the prop
erty will belong to Immaculate Con-
ception parish as soon as final arrange
ments are made.
The new church will not be built
this year. The pastor, Father Keane,
is away at present and will not return
before July, and nothing will be done
in his absence. However, the parish
toner's are glad that the site has been
selected in that part of the city, and
doubtless the new church, when erect
ed and completed, will be one of the
finest in Minneapolis.

Irish Heraldry.

knowledge Of heraldry, which occu-
pies people with ancestors from Eng.
land and the continent, is not monop-
clized by them. The Irish in this coun-
try have crests and coats Of arms more
authentic and elaborate than many
that are seen on carriage doors and
fashionable note paper. Every Irish
surname of any account, whether of
the NIilesian stock-the "Macs'' and
"O's'-or the Anglo-Norman or of the
Elizabethan reign, has it's insignia.
During Ireland's years of oppression
these were lost, and many are utterly
unknown to the descendants of the
original bearers, says the New York
Telegraph. The fatal battle of Augh-
rim, fought on their property in the
county Galway, was doom to the an
ccstral pomp and glory Of the O'I<ellys,
and they scattered all over Europe,
went into the continental armies and
outfought the natives every time. The
Kelly crest is weird animal, called
an enfield, having the head Of fox,
the name Of a horse, chest of an ele-
plant, forelegs Of an eagle, body Of
4 greyhound and tail Of lion. The
motto in Latin is "God is to me
tower of strength" Forefathers of the
Shea family had swan for their crest
and underneath white shield dotted
with red feur-de-lis. The Burkes were
4 Norman-Irish tribe. Their flag was
Of ermine, white, spangled with black,
like the trimmings Of a judicial robe.
In the center was a large red cross,
in the upper left quarter black lion
and in the opposite corner black
hand. The name Burke comes from
the same root as "burgh," meaning
town, and the tribe originally descend
ed from the Norman settlers in Ire
land of the goodly French name De
Bhrgho, meaning ''of the town." The
Ryans and the McNamaras have coats
of arms more authentic and far more
beautiful than many Of the folk with
evan" before their names. That of
the Ryans, or O'Mulrians, as they were
originally called, is especially fine.
Holly leaves and griffin heads were
distributed over blood-red shield. A
horse rampant was the crest, while
there was a flowing motto signifying
a preference for death to dishonor.

For the third time General William
]. Sewell has been elected to the Unit
ell States senate from New jersey.
Senator Sewell is Il serious man with
Il positive manner, and certain keen
wit that he possesses may be due to
the fact that he is of Irish birth, says
tlr, Saturday Evening Post, of Phila-
delphia.
Mr.. Sewell, who was born in 1885
and came to this country at an early
age, was engaged in business at the
outbreak of the Civil War. He en-
listed in the Northern army, was given
a captains commission, and at the
close of the war was a major-general.
In 1872 lie actively entered politics
and, after being for several terms
state senator, he was elected to the
United States senate. He was chair
man of the New Jersey delegation at
seven consecutive national conven-
lions, including that of 1900.
He was for some time actively in
telested in railroad affairs, and once,
when he was holding an important
office in one of the large trunk lines, a
political enemy came to him in a some
what shamefaced way and said:
General, should like to have trans
portation for myself and family to
Chicago.
The two political enemies eyed each
other for moment, and then General
Sewell called his private secretary and
told him to make out the passes to
Chicago. The politician accepted them,
expressed his thanks, and departed
But in n few minutes he returned, ex-
claiming:
, 'Why, general, these do not say to
Chicago and return!"
"Of course not! exclaimed the gen.
eral. Il want to get you out of the
state, and Pm not interested in your
getting back"
