A dog with railroad instincts and a
strong love for his master is the prop
erty Of Engineer Killorain of Linwood.
near Superior. The home of the en-
gineer is not far from the railroad
tracks. At certain time every day
the train pulls in and the dog has
learned the whistle by heart. As the
time for the trains coming draws near
the little animal sits on its launches,
with ears pricked up, waiting for the
first blast of the whistle. Then he
rushes pell nell to the track, runs
along the side of the engine until the
speed is considerably reduced and
makes a flying leap into the cab, TO
jump around jOyously at the feet of his
master. Two trains come along with
no great interval between and some
times one is ahead and then again the
other one takes the lead. But the dog
is always able to tell by the whistle
whether the engine coming is the one
which carries his boss.
Rainbows before the sun takes Oc-
casiOn to rise are not very frequent.
Citizens Of Ord enjoyed this rare sight
a week ago Tuesday. Clouds were
swelling in the western heavens and
the zenith but the far east was clear.
While yet the crimson advance guards
of the sun were marching up and be-
fore the orb itself had appeared dim
but picturesque rainbow appeared high
in the heavens. The people marveled

enm, awe struck tones, 10, the sun rose
also to see it.

her and a team that was frantically
tearing away with a loaded wagon on
which was seated little boy whose
father had left him with the horses
while he did some more trading. Being
d skilled horsewoman she soon over
took the runaways and riding abreast
she applied her riding whip with force
and effect. She swerved the animals
onto n piowed field and kept them go
ing in a circle until they were tired
out-and the boy was safe.
Musical people of Kearney are
abashed. They have been handsomely
worked by a new, adroit CRATER. This
fellow, of course, has made good his
disappearance. From house to house
he went, representing himself to be
the agent of musical concern
of Chicago. He was taking or
ders for classical and other sorts of
tempting to these people, aside from
the fact that they wished also to ap-
pear musical in the eyes of the agent
that they loaded him with orders. Spot
cash he demanded, as he could not
come back again. He said the music
would come by mail and he took the
good dollars of the people. The music
has not yet arrived and the musicians
no longer expect it.

Trying to save the life of his dog.
Will Zieglar of Exeter nearly lost his
own. He was out hunting and the dog
leaped into the river for some vain
purpose. He couldn't get out again
In the process of it's drowning the mas
ter leaped in too, having no rope to
throw. The struggles of the dog and
the weight of his clothes weighed both
down and while things were getting

We also heartily indorse our present
county administration for it's honest
and economical conduct in the manage
ment of county affairs.
We call special attention to and spec
tally indorse the planks in the demo

stitution providing for what is known
as the Initiative and Referendum,
We favor the enactment by our legis-

We heartily indorse what is known as
the ''Two-Mile Limit Law" and favor
it's rigid enforcement We condemn
the republican party for it's attempt to
discredit this law and the indefinite and
uncertain stand it has taken in the
matter. We pledge and instruct our
legislative candidates to resist any and
all efforts to repeal, amend or modify
the same.

American Flag Presentation.

AT the Democratic rally held on
Monday evening, after the speakers
had finished their remarks, Mayor
Barrett stepped to the front of the
platform and called the attention of
the audience to the fact that he had
an important announcement to
make.
During the entire day of the con-
vention and also in the evening
people wondered from whence came
the beautiful American flag that
decorated the back of the opera
house stage. This was what May
or Barrett desired to make plain.
He stated that Col. w. II. Dewey,
of Nampa, Idaho's ''grand old man"
had presented it TO him as a token
OF the high esteem and deep appre-
citation i'll which Mayor Barrett Is
held by Mr.. Dewey. It was mag
nificient gift, as it is one of the fin
est and largest flags in the state of
Idaho. In fact it Is one OF the most
beautiful flags that the writer has
ever seen, and Mr.. Barrett NAV
we'll have been proud of the gift had
he decided to keep 1t, but not SO.
In few well chosen remarks the
Mayor presented this same flag to
the Democratic Party of Bear Lake
County.
Col. Dewey, who, by the way, is
a pronounced democrat, and also
candidate for the United States Sen.
ate, IN the event of the coming leg
islature being democratic, (which
of course it will, has made many
friends by this gift to Mr.. Barrett
as the Democracy of Bear Lake
County cannot fail to appreciate the
gift of both these gentlemen, as the
whole party IS the happy, recipient
of this magnificent starry banner.
May it lead the democracy on to a
glorious victory at the approaching
November election.

An anecdote comes from Brussels il,
Illustrating the generous spirit of a
banker of that city. The banker is
fond of outdoor exercise. AS an ex-
hibltion of his skill in skating he made
his autograph on the ice in a very
artistic manner.
Some gentlemen, having admired his
signature, proceeded to write above it
as follows: "On demand | promise to
pay for the benefit of the poor the sum
of 5000 marks"
They sawed out the block of ice,
and. having called a cab, proceeded to
the bank and carried the frozen note
TO the cashiers counter.
