FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH
Collie Dog Who Leaped Into Ocean
After Mistress Body

The story of a dogs affection for
not be separated even by death, was
brought by the steamer Columbia,
which arrived at New York recently
from Glasgo. The Columbia had a
hard experience with the wintry gales,
which swept the Atlantic during her
entire voyage, and the tossing and
pitching to which the steamer was
subjected contributed largely to the
pathetic tragedy. Among the passen-
gems on the steamer was Andrew Mac
donald, who was bringing his four
year-old daughter Mary to America
for the benefit the sea voyage might
be to her health. The little girls two
collie dogs, Daisy and Ben, accompa-
MED them, and until she was taken
i'll Mary spent all her waking hours
with her pets. When the storm be-
came more severe the child became
violently seasick, and last Wednesday
night she died.
The dogs missed their little mis-
tress, and whined constantly until
they were taken to the cabin, where
preparations were being made to bury
the child's body at sea. When the
body was taken on deck the dogs
were permitted to follow, and during
the reading of the funeral service the
collies tugged at the leashes which
held them AS the child's body was
lifted IN tho rail and slid overheard
Daisy broke from the man who held
her and leaped into the sea just as
the body of her little mistress disap-
peared beneath the waves. The dog
was drowned.

HOWARD VS.. HUMPHREY
The Fremont Editor Scents Danger in
the Subservience Of Federal
Judges to the Railroad and
Trust Barons.
(From the Fremont Herald)
TWO ANARCHISTS
TWO ANARCHISTS
Trust Barons.
Herr Most was one of them.

Judge Humphrey is the other.
Herr Most died last week, and
his evil work died with him, because
he was not teacher whose lessons
were calculated to live beyond the
life of the man who taught them.
Judge Humphrey still lives to dis
grace the judicial ermine which he
wears.
One of these anarchists was hon
est, and the other is dishonest Herr
Most boldly declared his opposition
to all law, and honestly tried to de-
stroy all law. Judge Humphrey pro-
fesses love for the law, but while
cdressing it iii his preaching. he stabs
it to death with the poniard' of prac-
tice. Of the two anarchists Herr
Most was the less dangerous. Ger
tainly he was the more manly. The
world despises traitor. History tells
OF no meaner traitor in his country
than Judge Humphrey has been to
his country and to the law whose
guardian and protector he has sworn
to be.
The decision rendered by that Chi
cago judge is a decision which would
have been disgraceful had it been
rendered by a. Kansas justice of the
peace, 1t was shocking to every
sense of justice and law. But it was
a decision naturally to. have been ex-
n ~
judge who rendered the decision re-
CARDS men of great wealth as persons
Of superior mold. He could not bear
the thought of sending such great
personages to JAIL They were. guilty.
Each had confessed his guilt
But where will it all end, this con-
stant catering by the courts to the
men of money in America? The
Herald does not like TO stand in the
attitude of one who has lost all con-
fidence in the courts, but we have
reached that place where the record
will not permit us to see in the ay-
erage federal judge anything better
than creature Of the railroad cor
porations which made him Judge.
And this view is entertained by the
average citizen who speaks true to
his convictions. Is it to be wondered
at when iuries render Pat Grove ver-
diets? Not at all. The juries which
render Pat Grove verdfcts see the
federal judges trampling law and JUS
tice under foot day after day, and
Mr.. Juror says it cannot be wrong
for him to allow the example set
before him by the learned judges.
Many sober-minded men believe that
we are near to the day of revolution
in America. They are openly pre-
dieting that when another era of hard
times shall visit the Iand the people
will rise in revolt against the rule
of the law. If that day shall ever
come there will be one set of men
more responsible for it's coming than
all others, and those men will be
