AND THE DOG CAME HOME.
Travels From Kansas City to River.
side, Near Muscatine.

Muscatine, Dec. 4.-(SpeciaD-In
stinct and longing for home on the
part of a family dog induced him to
travel alone from Kansas City to Riv-
erside, distance of 500 miles. A few
weeks ago, o. B. Ford and his family
left the farm where they had been liv-
ing and drove in covered wagon to
Oklahoma. After leaving Kansas
City he wrote home that the faithful
and much valued dog which was ac-
company ng them had been lost in that
place. Yesterday he appeared at the
former home two miles east of River
side showing every evidence of long
travel and scanty fare. Though this is
remarkable record it does not equal
that made by a Muscatine Newfound-
land last August, which returned all
the way from Ell Reno, Oklahoma to
this city and fell almost famished on
the doorstep Of the home of it's owner.

port of the state superintendent, the
number of children of school age in
Iowa is 735,159. This is an increase
of but 4,005 over the enumeration Of
1901. This census is looked upon by
the state superintendent as unsatis-
factory from the fact that it shows a
wide discrepancy between the number
of children of school age as shown by
it and the number listed in the federal
census. Mr.. Barrett states in his re-
port that in spite of the fact that ev-
cry effort has been made to secure &C.

reports from many districts are moor
rect. The enumeration of 1901 is still

FORTUNE TO SLAYER
Charlton Man Leaves Property to Man
Who Killed Him.

Charlton, Dec. 4.-The preliminary
gathering of evidence which is to be
used in the approaching Sage murder
case assigned for Monday, December
8, has developed many elements Of
heart interest and romance seldom
equaled outside the covers of story
book 1t is the narrative of one, who,
in his dying hour, forgave his old
friend, rival and slayer and bequeathed
to him his entire fortune.
The Case.
On June 25, 1901, Thomas Hall, a
saloonkeeper and bachelor, was shot
and killed at his place of business by
his bartender, Charles Sage. The
shooting arose over some charges
made relative to the conduct of Halls
business by Sage when the former was
away. A quarrel between the two
men ensued. Sage seized a pistol and
shot his employer in the left breast.
Hall died, but before death came, he
signed an ante-mortem statement eX-
honerating Sage from all blame and
making oath that he was responsible
for his own death. He also made a will
in which he bequeathed to his slayer
every penny he owned in the world,
including his business and number
of houses and lots here.
A Woman In 1t.
Subsequent developments ascribed a
motive to what was looked upon as
one of the strangest transactions OF
modern times. Years ago Tom Hall
was in love with Gwendoline Reynolds
of this city. Owing to some misunder.
standing the match was broken up and
she became the wife of Charles Sage
Hall never married. He never gave
any stated reason for remaining a
bachelor but intimate friends knew
that away down in his heart he still
had spark of the love, which one wo
man, at least, possessed the magic
| power to fan into blaze.
| The bachelor was always prosperous
| He saved his money and, while the
business in which he was engaged did
not meet the approval of great many
it was truthfully said of him that he
implicitly obeyed every letter of the
mulct law
The two men were always fast
| friends and when circumstances seem
ed to be little against Sage, a place
was made for him in Halls saloon
There he remained until the ugly ru

employees name with an alleged illeg

BUTLER CENTER NO MORE.
No One viii Act as Postmaster and
Government Takes Action.

Iowa Falls, Dec. 4.-Because no one

the government has wiped the town of
Butler Center off the map and a place
that once promised to be leading city
of central Iowa is no more. The town
at one time was the county seat of
Butler county and gave promise of at
tanning proportions of city but it is
the old story of railroads passing to
one side and then on another town
and resulting in the development of
new cities and towns that soon sap the
life of the inland places. From a
leading trading point the town of But
Ter has gradually dwindled away uu-
I'll the last vestige of iowa had dis
appeared and being no more worthy
of recognition the government places
the stamp Of obi vic on it and it will
be known Only in history hereafter.

the growth of great German interests in

sooner or later insist upon defending

In such a contingency will the United
States fight? "Ignotus' thinks that the
German born citizens in the United
States, who number 100000, would be
against any administration which at
tackled Germany without an exceedingly
good cause. Further, American trade
would profit by the establishment of q
great Teutonic commonwealth in the
northern states of South America, while
politically she would benefit IL she had
German state in the north to balance
the great Italian state which is growing

when she has done so then the Monroe
doctrine will be put to severer test
than any to which it has hitherto been
subjected.
