PUPPY
From Well, Making a Daring
Rescue of Dumb Brute

Great excitement prevailed at 155
Court street yesterday afternoon when
Mac Parker, the young man who lives
at that place, returned home from his
work. His mother appeared excited
when he came in the door and COM
manded him to listen to a strange noise
which appeared to come from under
the house. Mac is of an inquiring turn
of mind and he was not content to lis
ten to the noise without finding the
cause. To this end he crawled under
the house and there, to his astonish-
ment, found an old unused well, which
he did not know was in existance be
fore, and in the well something was

little handful of Democrats in each
branch were able to play with meas
ures and carry the house or senate
with Republican aid. With only ten
Democrats in the house and five Dem
ocrats in the senate, Governor Cham
berlain, in the absence Of Republican
leadership, got special legislation, and
was able to defeat Republican party
measures. The strong hand of a man
like Senator Fulton was missed very
much, and in the house the Republican
minority was in close touch with the
Democratic leadership under the direc-
ton of the governor The result was
the failure of Republican measures, and
the utter absence of any definite pro-

The Fraternal Insurance orders.
Representative Smiths bitter at
tack on the A. o. U. W., while it may
have contained some truth, has, taken
in connection with the governor veto
put the leaders of the Democratic party
on the defensive, so far as that power
full organization is concerned. But the
truth of that attack is denied, and the
more conservative of the fraternal or
ders were a unit in demanding legisla-
tion to correct abuses from carrying
too cheap insurance on the one hand,
and the pursuing of obsolete methods
on the other The leading fraternalists
in the state drew up the Kuykendall
bill, and agreed on its principal fea-
lures. The Masons, Odd Fellows and
Knights of Pythias were especially eX-
empted from its provisions, and it was
adapted to making more safe and GER
tain the operation of the purely benev-
olent and insurance orders that carried
death risks and benefits. Whether the
bill was perfect or not it was demanded
by the orders that are doing a large
business in fraternal insurance, and
they resent the veto, and will carry on
a campaign to secure the passage of
this law, which they say is now the
law, or will soon be, of every other
state"

piteously. Upon investigation this
animal proved to be a small black
water spaniel dog, which had fallen in
to the water, and was unable to get
out. The well was about 20 feet deep,
and had about six feet of water in it,
and there was no visible way of de-
scending into it's depths. Mac is not
a lightweight, and did not like to at
tempt a rescue down clothes line in
to the depths of the black well, es-
pecially as candle was promptly eX-
tinguished, when lowered into its
depths by the gas. He is humane,
however, and set about to effect some
kind of means for rescue, when he was
accosted by "Pete," who works at
Sherman Thompson s, who wanted to
know what the trouble was. Upon
learning, he Immediately pulled off his
coat, and was soon lowering himself
into the well by the clothes line. The
trip down was soon made, and the dog
secured and saved, then came the more
difficult feat of climbing back out of
the well. 1t was accomplished at last,

est consideration, says:
General Stoessels first inquiry was
about the whereabouts OF General Ku.

ly, but understood he was somewhere
about Mukden.
General Stoesse remarked that he
had last heard from General kuropat-
kin Oct. s, saying he would come to
relieve Polt Arthur soon. General
Stoessel added that he had sent out
Chinese spies, who returned and re-
ported that General Kuropatkin, with
a relieving army, was at kinchow,
twenty miles north of Port Arthur.
General StoeSsel was plainly lncred-
ulous AT my statement that General
huropatkin had been defeated and
driven back towards Mukden, so | pro
duced maps, showed him the position
OF the two armies near the Shahhe
river and gave Stoessel details of ku-
ropatkin's defeat, with the loss of 5O,-
900 TO 6U,0uO men, at which the Rus
sian general expressed amazement and
quickly remarked that he had been
misled.
General Stoessel then asked where
the Baltic feet was and | told him
that some of the ships had not passed
the Cape OF Good Hope. With hope
less expression General Stoessel said.
Now thai Port Arthur has fallen
there is no use for the feet coming
any further.
