Land; says lverson. y " q.

Z State Auditor Iverson returned to-day
from his vacation trip in the east. He has
not received the decision of the land office
on his claim to the swamp lands in the
Chippewa reserNation,-zWhich he pressed
while in Washington. The states claim
reaches $4,000 or 10000 acres some OF
which is included lin the timber land to
be sold Dec. 5 and 2S- It rests on the
fact that the swamp land was granted to
the state by the act Of March II. 1850, be-
fore the territory was set off as an Indian
reservation. g IS" .; SEE
Mr. Iverson also urged that patents be
issued to the state for the swamp lands III

MIXING UP MATERIAL.
An Authors Method of Fixing In His
Characters So ns to Offend
No One.

"Thcre's good many queer things
in this world" said Miss JowCers,
mcditatively, to her friend, Miss
Barnes, but the queerest of all is
folks. Now did you ever take notice
of that young man that spent the
fore part of August here, n friend of
the Samson family?"
Il did," said Miss Barnes, but he
knew how to eat; he was the hearth
est boarder / ever had. But it's his
trade that's so queer-he's n story
writer, and he's always looking for
what he calls material He seemed
to think everything and everybody
here was material, and / said to him
outright one day. You may get into
trouble if you take Branbury folks
and put 'em right in book, faults,
failings and all
But he laughed and said 'twould
be all safe the way he did it, and
then he explained his method. 4 take
the old mems traits and give 'em to
old ladies' he said, and if there's n
naughty girl turn her into little
boy, and any middle-aged folks l
make into young ones. Then l lay
the scene in Canada, where I've never
been,' he says, and set the time back
so years, and there you are!' Now
did you ever hear such talk as that
in all your days? But they tell me
his books sell just like hot cakes."-

Accomplished dogs are dying fast
these days. The other day 1t was
A.. ,,t tree-climbing dog
of this vicinity,
now it Is coal
eating dog of Philadelphia who leaves
behind him a perpleXing controversy.
ae was Scotch poodle, and aprize win
ner at dog shows. A few weeks ago
his master perceived that he was all
ing, and his spirits Jagged. A vet
crinary surgeon was sent for and an
nOunCed that the dog had been poi
sOnod. Treatment was given accord
ingly, but the dog died in spite Of all.
The Owler feared that the diagnosis
had been faulty and took the dog to
the University of Pennsylvania, where
pOstmortem disclosed the fact that
the dogs stomach was filed with coal.
His perverted appetite for strange and
indigestible things makes it probable
that he was born under trc sign of
CapriCornus. The owner, cling that
the veterinary should have inOwn what
was the trouble, has brought suit for
$1,000 damages. The legal rights and
privileges of carbonivorous dogs (if such
word exists have not hitherto been
defined, for the reason that there are
probably very few such dogs. For the
same reason the doctors do not know
how to treat them. But the RESPONSE
bility for their existence is easy to To-
cate, according to the New York Post.
A dog naturally eats meat In domes-
ticity the owner begins perverting his
appetite by giving him dog biscuit in
stead, which are supposed to be more
soothing to his nerves. Then, If the dog
Is family pet, he gets farther and
farther from the diet of his ancestors.
He eats cake. candy, olives, all manner
of tid-bts unheard of by the natural
dog. Who but the owner is responsible
if, after fattening on all the most cost
ly luxuries of the table, the dog takes
one step farther on his own account and
, makes a meal of the most expensive
luxury of all-anthracite coal?

Seventy-five years ago the govern
nent advertised for mail carrier who
MT, could take the mail
once week be-
tween Vandalia and
Paris, H., a distance of 105 miles. The
time allowed was three days. Compar-
ing that period with this. nothing
shows more progress than the improve
ment in the mail facilities. Now the
distance is covered in about two hours
and the hundreds of farmers scattered
along the way are supplied with their
letters aud papers daily. OF course
there is not much room for improvement,
during the next century, but that there
will be some is certain. Even the daily
mail may be too slow after awhile and
the farmer who is up to date may want 1,
every hour.

This suggested bonfire. With the

ments now are costing us a great deal,
but it must be understood that the
city's laYity in this respect in the
past is largely responsible for the ex-
traordinary effort that must be made
now. Citizens generally are begin

up with the times and are insisting
on many things being done at once.
This entails a great deal Of extra ex-

at the temporary outlay alone. Let's

The REPUBLICAN desires to offer a
word commendatory of Mr.. Fred
Crockett, Democratic chairman dur
ing this campaign. Mr.. Crockett is a
gentleman before politician, honest
rather than partisan, and sensible
rather than blatant and bombaStic.
We have yet to hear of a single I'M
kind remark made by him, and to us,
personally, he made statements that
prove him citizen, fair and broad
minded, before aught else. The DEM
ocratic party should listen TO men of
his calibre rather than slick politi-
clans. Mr.. Crockett is partisan and
he made strong and gallant fight for
his party's ticket, but he is an honor
able foe, and we take pleasure in CIV
ing credit.
