The Little White Dog That Never Was

"Tell me a story, father dear" Said Helen to me one dayt And climbing my knee she cuddled down In her own delightful way. So I made up story as best I could. Of house in peaceful vale, A boy named John and a little white
 dog
 A dog with a curly tail. It was my undoing. for Helen dear Fell in love with the dog right then, And now each time that she greets me
 home,
 must tell of the dog again. Surely no doggie was ever born That had such a wild career, That got in so many scraps and fights. And conjured such joy or fear. As puppy he fell in the pail of milk. And fancy hear him yell When he Is switching his tail in the
 hot grape juice Of the jelly that would not "jell." The Shanghai rooster has thrashed him
 twice,
 Hes been butted by the ram, His nose has been full of hedgehog
 quills,
 And his toes pinched by clam. Once he was lost in woochucks hole, And once in a hollow tree Where he found the honey, and also
 found
 That dog shouldn't try to bee. He has battled bobcats and fought with
 dogs,
 Been tossed by the brindle bull, Kicked by the mare and stoned bv
 tranps.
 Till his cup of woe was full. But then he has done such noble deeds Has rounded the frightened sheen. And once found little lost baby girl In the swamp, where she fell asleen Ano the more adventures that Carlo hal The more must papa invent, I'll my mind is very dog kennel of
 tales
 And my fancy warped and bent. Oft l wash that my Helen's love For the little white dog might pale. But l haven't the courage to kill that
 dog
 The dog with the curly tail.

Interesting Notes of Mining Operations
 in the Great Copper District.

The Clifton Copper Era furnishes the following mining news of that sec ton:
 Ambrose Burke came in this week from his camp in the Coronado noun tains, where he spent the winter, and still remains doing development work on his claims. He expects to at once commence driving a tunnel for the development of the Copper Plate claims, which show rich ore on the surface. The surface will be driven in on the lead, and in ore all the way.
 Wood Poland and Charley Nelson. who recently secured the assistance Of a number of business men in the devel- opment of a valuable gold property in the Greenlee district, spent Tuesday in town laying in supplies. They report that work has been progressing most satisfactorily on the property. The tun- mel has now been driven in on the lead 135 feet. Good ore is shown all the distance, and the entire face of the tunnel is now in ore which they say will run s20 in gold and about 10 per cent. copper. Work on the tunnel Is being continued.
 A. E. Elliott, president of the New England and Clifton Mining company, George Davis, a director of the same company, B. Wilkins, a large stock holder, and A. A. Wyman, the com pany's solicitor, arrived last week from Boston. B. C. Burger, consult ing engineer for the company, arrived this week, to consult with the direc- tors and map out plans for the further development of the company. Work under the Consolidated company has been progressing lively for some months past, but it is expected that

 dict will have weight with Michigan investors. Their visit has already re- suited in the sale of large block of Copper Butte treasury stock.
 The Blade is very much pleased to see such men become interested in Pinal county mining property. It means much for this section. We have an example of the push and enterprise of Michigan mining capitalists in the Superior company. When they un- dertake a mining enterprise they go at 1t in a business way. They put practical. seasoned men in charge of the work with instructions to exploit the property thoroughly regardless of cost, and do not expect to receive divi- dends until the proeprty has been placed in shape to yield ore on con- mercial scale.

ANOTHER SIDE OF
THE LACY CASE

When the Lacy will case was
decide we published a short ac-
count of the trial, the information
being furnished to us by one OF
the attorneys in the case, which
we had no reason to doubt told us
the truth, and we are still Of that
opinion, but Judge Pugh has
written us placing the matter in
another light, so we publish his
statement. He writes us as fol
lows:
Pardon me for correcting sew
eral errors in your reporters ac-
count of the Lacy will case, which
doubtless was caused by misin-
formation:
First-The Court did not in
struct the jury that the alleged
will of 1894 "was no will" On
the contrary, the Court refused
to make ruling of this kind,
which was asked for by counsel
for D. H. Lacy, the question hav-
ing been reserved till after verdict
should come in.

A letter written from the Kan
sas oil field, to a firm in this city,
states that in one day an or well
supply firm sold fifty plugs to be
put into busters in the Kansas oil
field. The letter further stated
that last week 800 return tickets
were sold at the Kansas oil field
station to drillers, TOOL dressers
and oil men who are returning to
the West Virginia fields to work.
A supply company stated in De-
Sistersville daily oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1902-1905, 1904-05-02

were not attorneys for Mary Stat
eler, and, consequently, had no
contract for contingent fees.
They were attorneys for Mrs.
Clark and j. B. Lacy, sister and
brother of T. S. Lacy.
Third-Hunt and Hanes for D.
H. Lacy, and Blackmarr for Mary
Stateler, united in asking the
Judge to set aside the verdict, "
but the attorneys for Mrs. Clark
and J. B. Lacy did not join in
that motion.
Fourth-While the expert testi-
mony was offered in the interest
of Mary Stateler, as it'was against
the second alleged will which gave
all the property to D. H. Lacy, it
was, in fact, introduced by Mrs.
Clark and J. B. Lacy.
Fifth-While it is true that
Mrs. Clark and J. B. Lacy did not
antagonize the first will in favor
of Mary Stateler, it can be easily
seen that they won the case; and,
being the victors, the labor OF
their attorneys were mot for
naught.

SALOONS CLOSED

1t seems to be pretty well
agreed that the saloons were
closed good and tight Sunday.
Some Of the bars stood wide open
to view. Many gentlemen who
wanted to get glass of beer went
up to Paden City on the street
cars, where, it is said, the bever-
age was dispensed to all who
cared for it.
We hear on all sides words Of
commendation for Mayor Kirt-
land. They say if he runs again
they will vote for him regardless
of politics. They say he is SO en-
tirely different from what they
judged he was, he is a most agree
able surprise. AS we stated when
the new Mayor took charge of the
city affairs, he will either be
Mayor, die or resign.
If you approve of the Mayors s
administration tell him so, because
there are a very few men who do
not endorse his actions, they want
to make afew more dollars regard
less of law, order and decency.
They do not hesitate to say what
they think, neither should the peo-
pie who are on the other side neg
lect to give the Mayor a word OF
praise and commendation.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf

of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tnbe is infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the intlamma-

restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by

FOUGHT DESPERATELY
japanese General Describes the Battle
At Telissu.

at Telissu.
Toxic. June 20.--Gcneral Oku, the
victor of the battle OF Nanshan Hill on
May 2G. fought and won the battle
OF Tcissu Yatangow, according to
Russian designation on June -.
1nera IS a strung similarity between
the two fights. At Telissu the Japanese
had to drive the Russians from two
hills. while at Nanshan the enemy oc-
cupicd one hill. The Russian position
at Tellssu was superior to that OF the
japanese and cqualized the advantage
of the japanese in having a larger
force. From their positions on the
right and left in the high hills which
flank this valley. General Oku drove
the Russians down into the valley.
The Japanese general carried first the
enemy's right and then his left. The
fight at the left Of his line was the
most desperate of the day. The Rus
slams held this position with desperate
determination and only fled when they
were almost completely envelopod. The
field had been disputed all day, and
when the japanese reached il 600 Of
the oncmys dead were found there.
The Russian left had been reinforced
until their numbers were greater than
the opposing Japanese. General Oku
Was twice forced To order up the infan-
Try reserves. The Russians made Il Sc
rics OF desperate counter attacks and
when the situation was most critical,
Japanese cavalry swung around the
Russians left and struck the enemy
on the flank. Al this time additional
Russian achievements had arrived,
and the Russians held their position
with dOgged determination until their
front and both TANKS were under fire.
They then broke and fed. The Japan
ese cavalry pursued the enemy for
short time. but the roughness OF the
country made il necessary soon to
abandon the pursuit The japanese
left succeeded In ambushing 900 Rus
sian infantrymcn. who were discovered
retiring toward Wuchiatun. They sent
two companies Of infantry anC one
battery OF artillery 10 a hill east Of
Hong Chiatun. and the Russians were
completely trapped. Many Of the enc
my at this point were killed or
wounded.
In his report. General Oku says the
Russians began the fight with % bat
talions of infantry. II squadrOns Of
cavalry and IS guns. They were rein
forced several times, but the number
Of reinforcements Is not known. The
Russian casualties are not known with
exactitude. The Japanese right found
and buried part of the enemy's dead.
Seven Russian officers and 300 men
were taken prisoners. The Japanese
casualties reached mp to noon on June
Is amounted to about 900 men, includ-
ing eight officers killed and fourteen
wounded.
IA dispatch from St. Petersburg,
dated June IS, said the total Russian
losses at the battle of Vafangow (Tel-
issu) were about 1000 men. including
more than 50 officers. The Russian
forces which took part in this fight
were described as marching to the
northward, and it was said that the
