Mrs. Roosevelt's grandfather, Isaac

with men in business, who never
seemed able to spell Quereau proper.

Smart Horse

Peter Marsolek, of Courtenay, has a
horse which is 81 years old and his in
tclligcnco seems to have increased as
he advanced in years. Peter lives sew
eral miles west of town and drives in
every morning in time to go to work
on the section. One morning he
hitched up the horse a few minutes
later than usual, and before he could
get into the buggy the animal started
for town and Peter after him. The
horse came at about his usual gait and
walked up TO the post where he had
been in the habit of being tied and
waited for his master to catch up with
him. This may be an example of the
force of habit, but the horse seemed to
know what he was doing.

At Churches Gerry, the body Of a
unknown man was found in a Great

tic lay beside the body which had con
tanned carbolic acid. Doctors assert
that the man had been dead for a
week.
The box car in which the body was
found came from Minneapolis and was
sidctracked, later being hauled to Chur-

quest, the jury returning a verdict of
death from carbolic acid either at the
hand of the dead man or unknown
persons.
The dead man was about twenty-five
years of age; weighed ITO pounds; had

Robbery.

Manager Brown of the Hunter stora

o'clock to find the door ajar. He i'm
mediately got busy and discovered
none of the clerks about, but 65 bolts
of high priced silk valued at 5000, had
been removed from the shelves. Some
one had evidently picked the lock or
had a key and were probably pressed
for time when they were frightened
away from the store, leaving the door
wide open. This is the second time
this fall the company has been the
victim of burglars and as yet no clue
to the identity has been reported, nor
any of the goods found. This time
Mr.. Brown suspects locl parties and
nothing will be left undonc to unravel
the mystery and bring the perpetrators

Charge Wheat Smuggling.

Joe Catherwood, a prominent real
estate dealer at Hannah, and an em-
ploye named Michael Young, were ar
rested on a charge Of smuggling. The
men are charged with hauling $50
bushels of Canadian wheat to an ele.
vator at Hannah. Catherwood claims
that he did not intend to defraud the
government, but that he expected to
make a settlement with the customs
officer, paying % Cents per bushel for
the wheat as soon as he found out how
much there was.
The difference in the price of wheat
in Canada and this country has led

announced that he was about to fire, to be hoisted. A few moments later, a well-directed shot from the Naniwa struck the engineroom, and penetrated the hull of the Kowshing. which soon afterwards filled and sank. As Gals worthy and his men leaped over the bulwarks of the transport into the sea, they were fired on the by the Chinese. Togo at once sent out boats, and res- cued as many as he could.
 In this way Togo began the Chino Japanese war. His countrymen have never forgotten the part he played in this episode. 'Togol" they say. it was Togo who sank the Koshing." And they draw confident augury from it.
 Tn the course of the war Togo saw a great deal of actual fighting, so he is a naval man of no little experience. He at the battle of Haiyang, took part in the bombardment of Tangchow, and saw the final overthrow and destruction at Wei-hai-wei of all that was left of the Chinese fleet. Nor did his ship. the Naniwa, pass entirely scatheless through these ordeals, though she re- ceiyed no vital damage. But ever the fame of Togo Heihachiro grew; he was known as man of resolution and re- source, most of all as hard and de termined fighter.
 l After the war he was raised to the rank of rear-admiral. and promoted tC the third command in the Japanese fleet. Prior to his present appointment he was commander-in-chie at Maizuru backyard on the Sea of Japan. Maiz- uru is not one of the largest yards ir the island empire, but it may become oi great importance as a suitable port from which troops can be dispatched te Korea, owing to it's comparative near. ness to that peninsula. His present rank is that of vice-admiral.
 All information with respect to the Japanese fleet has been so absolutely withheld for the past few weeks by the censor that it is not quite certain or which ship Admiral Togo has hoistet his flag: but it is understood that tn, Hatsuse is the vessel. The Hatsuse is a sister ship to the Mikasa; that is tt : say. she is one of the largest and mos powerful battleships afioat, having owe 15,000 tons displacement

Above all, he is cool, resolute, determined, yer. courageous sailor. quick and alert o perception, but calm and unprecipitat in action. He knows his fleet we'll knows what it can do to a nicety.

suffered great damage to her turret, which received nine shots, and finally became manageable, as did likewise her steering gear. while the Keokuk had her six-inch turrets completely riddied, and had besides her hull so thoroughly pierced in nineteen different places that she commenced to sink About five o'clock the Keokuk was taken close by Lighthouse Inlet, where, despite all efforts to save her, she went to the bot tom earIy the following morning.
 It is said that during this fiery naval action. Dupont's fleet was enabled to fire but 139 shots at Fort Sumter, as against as many as 5000 sent by the Confederates. Of the latter number the fleet received 515. distributed as follows: Weehawken received 50 shots, Mon tauk 20. Patapsco 45. New Ironsides 65, Catskill 51, Nantucket 51, Nahant 80, Keolxuk 90. So it will be seen that the Keokuk with her 90 wounds. suffered more than any of the other vessels.
 The damage done to Fort Sumter. it is said, was scarcely pereeptible; but that sustained by the Federals extended to the disabling os the entire fleet and the complete destruction of the Keokuk. The casualties among the Federal forces were twenty-six wounded, principally in the Nahant and Keokuk; the Confeder- ates lost three killed and eleven wound ed.
 No account of this engagement has come to my hand giving the number of casualties on eachh vessel. Admiral Miller says in a paper written by him recently that the casualties on the Keo- kuk were as follows: Wounded dangerously, one officer Gan ensign,) and one seaman; wounded severely, two seaman; wounded slightly, eleven, in- cluding Commander Rhind. It appears then that of the twenty-six casualties, fifteen of them occurred on the Keokuk. l-Des Moines (Ia Register and Leader
