ALL ABOUT A DOG.
A 81. Louis Minister Comes to Mexico
to Identity Him, But tbs Dog
Had Been Sent TO That ity.

Rev. w. Q. Donnan, Of st. Louis,
was IN this city Friday to see the dog
which Hon. Rhodes Clay bought at a
sale TO settle costs in a law suit some
time ago. The reverend gentleman
came IN behalf OF a friend, whose dog
It was thought 10 be. The canine had
been sent 70 st. Louis and DR.. Donnan
did not see him, but from the de-
scripfion given by Mr.Clay be declared
1t was not his dog.
In reference 10 the matter the st.
Louis Republic says:
The Reverend w. Q. Donnan,a Bap-
fist minister, near Forissant has
quit preaching the gospel long enough
TO go to Mexico, No, for the purpose
Of identifying a valuable hunting dog
belonging TO Robert Hyatt, one Of bis
pensioners.
The dog is just now the subject of
litigation In Audrain county. He is
in the actual possession Of Rhodes
Clay, the Audrain county Representa-.
tive in the Legislature, who is said to
have bought him at a sale for a debt,
but there are others who claim title
TO him. From the description that
Mr.. Hyatt has read Of the dog be is
certain that he is the canine that he
lost while hunting in Howard county
before Christmas.
Mr.. Hyatt is an ardent sportsman
and spent some time in Howard coun-
ty hunting with Col. Dick Stevens, Of
Clayton. While there be lost bis dog,
and became i'll before he could find
him. He fastened back home and for
a time was in a serious condition.
While in a convaleScent state he read
Of the dog that was the bone Of con-
tention in Mexico. He was not able
TO go there himself and Pastor DON
nan volunteered to take his place. MIR.
Hyatt is daily expecting a report from
him.
Mr.. Hyatt says be would not take
500 for the dog, and will, If necessary,
institute replevin proceedings If the
minister identifies him.

Plans of the Anarchists.

Rome, Nov. l7.-Since the news came
that the anarchist Rubini had determin-
ed to kill King Leopold of Belgium, the
police here have discovered traces of a
plot in the anarchist section, of which
Rubini was member, to kill the King
of Italy. Rubini had been selected
by lot to carry out the murder His
nerve failed him, and he did not carry
out the plans as laid for him. He
was expelled from the anarchistic group
and fled to London to evade punishment
from the reds. It's said here that Rubini' &
attempt to kill King Leopold was proba-
bly, prompted by desire to reinstate
himself in the good will of his former
comrades.
Brussels, Nov. ia meeting of an.
archists held yesterday evening passed
resolutions repudiating Rubin because,
they claim, he acted as an anarchist
spy on behalf of the Italian embassy in
London, and that he was paid by the Bel
gian government to make false attempt
on the kings life to revive Leopold's
popularity with the people. The police
have arrested an Englishman named
James Hardle on suspicion of being con-
nected with anarchist intrigues.

office prejudicial to certain union labor
interests. Shaffer asked that the report

The Coal Strike Commission.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1.-THE work
of hearing testimony by the anthracite
coal strike commission is not proceeding
as rapidly as the commissioners desire
and they have agreed that they will not
permit counsel on either side to go over
the grounds already covered. In view
of President MitchelPs competency as a
witness, and his ability to elucidate
clearly on many of the coal problems, he
will likely be continued on the stand for
some time yet The commission will pro-
badly take the testimony Of the operators
in PHILADELPHIA Wayne MacVeagh
put many questions to Mitchell today,
among them one in regard to foremen OF
the mines being fined $50 by the unions
for rushing the men; also in regard to
the fact that half million people on
the Atlantic seaboard are unable to
buy coal. Witness in reply to the first
query said the United Mine Workers had
no such rule concerning foremen, and in
reply to the query concerning the high
price of coal he said he had nothing to
do with that. The question of lawless-
ness. armed guards at the mines &c,
followed.

Ir SEEMS that profit and not princi
pie actuates large number of voters o.
this country and the large republican
vote cast in some of the western States
in the recent election is thus &C.
counted for. Senator Dubois, of Idaho,
who has just reached Washington says
"The fact that President Roosevelt
championed the cause of irrigation in
the West in his first message to Con-
gress, and that he signed the Hans
brough irrigation bill, was largely re-
sponsible for republican success in the
West"
There is at least $4,000 900 in the
treasury which, by the provisions of the
Hansbrough bill, must be covered into
the irrigation fund, and which will be
expended in the western States for irri-
CATION purposes. When this bill was
introduced in Congress there was astrong
intimation that this vast amount of
money to be spent in the West would
have its political effect. Senator Dubois
has hilton one of the important factors in
republican success in that section this
year.
