DOG JOURNEYS 500 MILES.
Animal Travels from Nebraska to Old
Home in Iowa.

Des Moines, Ia.-Thin and gaunt, and
with no other instinct to guide him
save the memory Of a warm kennel,
good food and an occasional caress, a
little Scotch collie dog sold to a man
at Valentine. Neb., by d. Weeks, OF
this city, returned 500 miles to its for
mer master in Des Moines. So wabbly
and weak was the dog that had it not
been for a glad light Of recognition
that sprang into his eyes as his for
mer master opened the door, he might
have been driven from the premises.
Just how long the dog was making
the distance has not yet been ascer-
tanned, but with unerring instinct he
made his way over hill and prairie,
through timber and across rivers, final
" arriving in Des Moines. where he
was given a hearty welcome. a warm

POTATO ROAST
ON EAST SIDE

This afternoon between l and 2
o'clock Mr.. Stanley set fire TO the
grass and weeds in his own yard and
within a few minutes there was a
lively time in that neighborhood.
The good housewives and their
babies turned out to fight flames, and
it may be that by their energetic
work they saved valuable property
from being burned.
Water in the neighborhood was al
most as scarce as menfolks. All the
men, except Mr.. Stanley, we're away
at work and the women of the COM
munity deserve much commentator
for the manner in which they carried
water from the few barrels located in
the door yards, there being no oUher
supply of water in that growing, en-
terprising and prosperous end of the
city.
But with all their work and effort
an out-building belonging to L r.
Scott in which was stored Is bushels
OF potatoes, was consumed by the
flames, Mr.. Scott's loss being S25 or $50.

Opera House Tonight.

In presenting "a Poor Relation" at
the opera house tonight the manage
ment desires to announce that the
same cast will be seen that plays the
large cities. This is the eastern com.
pany headed by Lee d. Ellsworth,
Broadway star, late Of Proctor's

starter.
Five weeks before a man from Val
antine, Neb., saw the collie, bought
him and took 1t back with him to Val
cntine..
After the collie left his new home
he was seen at Fremont, Neb., where
some boys threw stones at him while
he was stealing meal from back
door. This was the report until he
appeared in Des Moines.
Mr.. Weeks was awakened by a slight
scratching at the front door. On OPEN
ing It he saw a shaggy, thin, dirty
little collie, and from his actions at
first judged he was mad. He soon
recognized his former pet, however.
and declares he would not now part
with the animal for twice its value.

Must paw Former Love.

Media, Pa.-The $4,000 verdict given
pretty Miss Leonora Hill, Of Chester,
in her breach of promise suit against
Horace Witsil, the real estate dealer,
has been sustained by Judge Johnson.
This suit has been pending for two
years. Miss Hill was wooed by Witsil
for number of years, according to
her story, and had gone SO far as to
purchase her wedding dress and spend
her time in making articles to make
their home comfortable after the mar
riage. without her knowledge Witsil
married another estimable lady, and
Miss Hill brought suit. She was rep
resented by one of the ablest lawyers
in the county, and his unn37rciful
scoring Of Witsil during the trial was
one Of the reasons for which a new
trial was asked.

EaremeII to whIte SUGAR.

New York-Unless the United
States pure food commission changes
its mind, the people of the United
States hereafter will have to use gran
ulated and other sugars that have a
distinctly yellowish tinge. The com
mission has decreed that no mineral
blueing substance be used in bleaching
sugar. Sugar chemists say they use
four pounds of a mineral blueing sub
stance to every one million pounds OF
sugar, for the bleaching purposes.
This, the sugar chemists say, is not
adulteratlon, but is merely purihca-
ton by thoroughly healthful process.
The pure food commission can not
see 1t in that light, and insists that
the whitening process be abandoned.

COAL OUTPUT INCREASES.
Biz Increase Of Product In 1905 Shown
by Government Report.

Washington geological survey
has made public statistics on the pro-
duction OF coal in the United States in
1905. From these it appears that both
lin quantity and value the production
surpassed all previous records iii this
country. The output amounted to
392, ,919,S41 short tons, which had a
value at the mines of s476.756,063.
Compared with 1904 the output in
I1905 exhibits an increase of 41,102, ,94S
short tons, or III per cent. in quantity
and Of $S2,SS5,942, or 7.3 per cent. in
value.
OF the total production of 1905, 69,-
3S9, ,152 long tons, equivalent to ~
699,850 short tons, were Pennsylvania
anthracite, with a value at the mines
OF $141, $4,000. The total production
Of bituminous coal and Ignite was
315, 1853, 491 short tons, valued at 1884,
| l877,963 The production Of anthracite
coal in Pennsylvania for 1905 was A.
020,662 long tons, or 4,503,151 short
tons, more than that of 1904, while
the increase in the production Of bi-
luminous coal and Ignite was $685.
8S2 short tons.
A portion of these increases in both
anthracite and bituminous productions
was due to the efforts Of operating
companies to provide supply of fuel
in anticipation of a strike in April
1906.
The total production of this country
last year was nearly so per cent
larger than that of Great Britain
which until 1899 was the leading coal
producing country Of the world.
The total value of the stone pro
duced in the United States during
1905, according to a forthcoming re
port, was $63, 1893. .74S. The correspond
ing value for 1904 was $5S,765, ,715
The increase was caused by N r.
activity in the building trades.
The production of coke in the Unit
ed States during 1905 surpassed al
previous records IN the history o.
cokemaking in this country. The tota
output of coke in the United States
last year amounted to 32,231, ,129 shor
tons. against 2S,661,166 short tons IL
1904.

When Rogers came to Washington
he was informed that but two court
towns could be established Ia the new
state, one in the east and one on the
west side. But after working week
in and week out, they agreed to give
us two towns, then little later on
three finally by perseverance this
town and that town were added and
when the bill was completed Mr..
Rogers untiring efforts we're crowned
with success and Vinita was made
court town, and that means that
later on you will get Federal build
ing in spite of everything you can do.
You now have golden opportunity
to reciprocate his voting for him next
Tuesday. Mr.. Rogers ought to re-
ceive your votes irrespective of poll
tics. You owe it to him and TO your
selves to vote for Rogers and give
him an overwhelming majority IN
this town. For if he could do SO much
for you at Washington while he bad
no vote nor even a voice in the house,
there is no telling what he could do
for you in body where he could re-
present you and vote for you.

BIRD s. INQUIRE
AND ORATORY
Republican Meeting at Court House
Last Night was the Best
Yet Held

The Bird S. MCGUIRE meeting att
the court house last night was one OF
the very best Republican meetings
held during the present campaign.
w. II. Darrough acted as chairman
of the meeting. Prayer was offered
by Rev. Williams.
Mr. Mcclure was feeling good and
gave his auditors one of the best po-
litical addresses ever listened to in
this city.
ID his introductory remarks he re-
called some of his boyhood days when
he drove cattle through this place
several years ago.
He threw a bomb shell into the
Democratic claim that they had OBJ
tained statehood legislation for these
two territories, placing the credit
where it belongs and that is with the
Republican party, Of course.
In speaking Of our national history
and the achievements Of this great
country OF ours he went back to the
beginning and told Of its purposes up
to the present time in language that
was both instructive and entertaining.
The features Of his address, however,
were his word pictures OF the growth
and prosperity of the United States
under a protective tariff, substantial
ed by convincing figures; and the
Democratic claim that they are for
education.
! He demonstrated that the people Of
the United States have more money
per capita than the people Of any
other country; that the government
is maintained on less per capita pay
ment than that Of any other country
the expense being $40 per capita;
that Republican states pay more mon
ey for public schools than Democrat
lc states; that per centage Of illiteracy
is greater in the Democratic states
than in the Republican ones, this not
being merely an assertion but taken
from the census report; that Ameri-
can laborers receive more money per
hour than laborers elsewhere; that
the American farmer receives more
for his produce than farmers else
where receive.
In connection with his remarks on
the tariff question he repeated two
prophesies; one by Senator Baily and
the other by Senator Dingley, both
being uttered in the senate chamber
nearing the close Of the congress that
adopted the Dingley tariff law. They
are as follows:
Joe Bailey's 2rophesy cf the Dingley's
bill:
You must put your principles to a
practical test. If you are right, your
task is an easy one, II you are
wrong it is an impossible one AS
for my part, / was never more conf
dent Of any event IN the future than
/ am that your bill will dissapoint its
promoters and the people.
You promised to make the times
better for all the people, and you
must redeem that promise or be
driven from the high places which
you occupy. Four years Of the taxa
tion proposed in this bill will prove a
severe STRAIN upon the energies Of our
people and the resources Of our coun-
try, but if they demonstrate, as be-
lIeve they will, the vicious error Of
the protective system, the lesson,
tho costly will be worth its price.
Nelson Dingley replied to the above

AIN WISE MOVE.

The more one considers the action o the Oklahoma
Republicans ii deciding hold their congressional con-
yentons as early as August IS the reason does there
seem why Indian Territory should follow their exam
pie. The action Of the okahomans due entirely to
McGures desire to hold an early nyention lin his dis
trict to foresta opposition, and the many Repubi-
cans who are opposed to Mcclure are already crying
'machine politics
Is there any earthly reason why the fight between
Flynn and McGure should be extended into this end Of
the new state2 Speaking frankly we have fight on
our hands here Indeed, 1t is not improbable that as
matters now stand the Democrats have the majority
They viii have majority in the first election, too UNI
less te Republicans work together harmonously in the
interest Or no faction bat Of the whole party. With
clean progressive candidates nominated by the rank
and file Of the party dominated by machine the Re-
publcans viii win; in mere contest for oHce between
representatives Of Democratic and Republican machines
the former will win
Therefore, in The Chieftain's opinion it would be I'M
wise to take in this territory the action taken IN Okla
homa in favor Of early congressional conventions Give
avery candidate fair field and no favo and then let
the best man win Lei tile people themselves decide,
unhampered BY any machine.
