applause that shook the building and was enough
to turn the head of veteran star, it only seemed
to please him, and he repeated the mind reading
act with variations without mistake.
One manner Of showing the mind-reading power
of the dog is to have watch taken from some
one in the audience. The number is written on
large blackboard where the audience see it
plainly but where the dog cannot. Without the
least hesitation Nonesuch will tell the number of
figures in the watch number. and will then tell
what each figure is separately and without any
sign of any kind from his master further than
the simple propounding of the questions which
the dog is to answer. .-
The dog can also read figures from black
board and do simple problems in addition ant
subtraction. For instance, he will tell wher
asked that his own age is 2, his mothers ant
his fathers 6. He adds the three, If they ore
set down, and gives their combined ages as -
He will then subtract the ages Of one or tive
combined, and give the correct result, and can
not be mixed up, no matter how the ages are
combined. e rs s. p. -.

CUMMINS LOADED
FOR COMMITTEE
GOVERNOR rs IN WASHINGTON TO
DISCUSS RATES.
Specific Instances of Inequalities Will
Be Pointed Out to Senators-Burdens
Borne by Iowa Shippers of Apples
Editor Perkins Heads the --latest

Snanial To Tha Journal,

Des Moines, Iowa, May 10.-Governor Cum
Minis arrived in Washington this morning and
will probably be granted audience before the
interstate commerce committee of the United
States senate tomorrow. Ill.
1t is safe to conjecture from his recent utter
ances on the railway rate question to what he
will say to the committee. At Dubuque he re-
ferred to the general inequality amounting to
iniquity in railway rates. 1t IS understood he
has several specific instances to bring before
the committee. He will indicate how Iowa ship
pers feel about railroad rates applied to the
Mills county apple. 1t is said to be fact that
it costs more to ship barrel Of apples from
Glenwood Iowa, to Ainsworth, Neb.. less than
100 miles, than it costs to ship the same guam
tity from Syracuse, N. Y, to Omaha.
The theory of the governor is that the apple
shipper should have means Of redress. Now
he is absolutely poweriess. There Is no power
to which he may appeal.
