Killed Himself for Love Of DOG.

Back of the suicide of Fred Vogler,
farmer Of Cherry Ridge, Pa, who
hanged himself in the woods near his
home, is a story of love of great depth
In the heart Of man for his faith
ful dog. IL is story of mans
appreciation of dogs life of devo-
ton and of the man laying down
his life upon the altar of that friend
ship.
Rover always had series Of wags
of his tail and joyous barks for his
master. The dog appeared happy
when with Vogler. and the master al
ways showed similar feeling. They
were "chums."
Vogler's son, who was told to bring
home some bread the other day,
forgot It. There was but one loaf
In the house, and the father insisted
on giving big share Of that TO the
dog. A quarrel between members Of
the family followed. He tossed most
OF the bread to Rover. Then the
quarrel was renewed. The man
threatened suicide. He hurried to-
ward the woods, threw a rope over
the limb Of tree. placed a moose
around his neck and jumped of the
box on which he was standing. .-Phila-

Companies Are Likely to Protest
Against Any Raise In Their
Valuaft0nl

Robert H. Shields OF Houghton,
president OF the state tax commiss-
ion voices the opinion that railroad
corporations in the state this year
will protest against any raise that
may be proposed in the assesse
valuations of railroad properties,
"They have been keeping mighty
quiet of late, but you cant blame
them for bowling II their claims are
true that the state has increased
their taxes and also taken away
much of their revenue by reduced
fares. / am not prepared to say what
actions the commission might take
II asked to reduce the assessed val
uation on the grounds that the
properties are not worth what they
were when three cent milage rate
was charged. believe IL is within
the powers of the commission to
consider the future prospect o! a
roai in fixing the valuation OF its
property. However, it is question
IL that can enter into our work this
year for we are required TO take as a
basis for the valuation the reports
OF earnings and other data from
reports for the year ending June 81
last
There is little doingin building
way with the railroads now, and as
we have not igone into the matter
carefully, and in fact the data is not
all in, am unable to express an opin
ion regarding the probability OF the
tax rate for railroads being either
higher or lower this year. There is no
d ,ubt but that the amount to be rails
ed by taxation will be higher.
''The commission inspected the
Grand Rapids & Manistee road this
week and found it in dilapidated
condition"
There will be meeting of the com
mission at Lansing on December 2,
after which the commissioners will
get busy on the work of placing valua-
tions on the railroad properties.

RUN ACROSS ODD NAMES.
Queer Cognomens That Come Across
Ken of Insurance Officials.

. An insurance company, with head

ship all over the south and west, has
some queer experiences with the
names of it's policy holders and bene-

traordinary names there were in the

one of the officials said, as he finished

An agent had sent in an application
for insurance from one Edna Hop

that the policy could not be put on

that ] am not half SO smart as think

wife was christened Willie"
Another beneficiary is Suspense

makes clear that this person is the
wife Of Abraham Joshing. Suspense
might be either masculine or feminine,

for the largest specimens, and OF a
quality unsurpassed. While they are
as much native and indigenous to Utah
as to Idaho--the lake lies partly in both
states-tLey are looked upon as a

THE HERCULES MINE.
The Great SiIver-Lead Property Of
Occur d'Alene was Hoodoo for
Many Years.

The mining industry in the west has
been fraught with many a romance
more fascinating than was ever un-
folded in the pages of fiction. Our own
state of Idaho has had its full share of
romance in the days long past, but the
great mining industry has gotten down
to such matter of fact basis that the
suddenly made fortunes Of the days of
the Argonauts seem impossible of re-
enactment. However the story of the
bonanza strike of the Hercules mine,
in the Occur d'Alene district, made
within the past five years, is as full of
romance as anything the west has ever
known.
This property was located sixteen or
seventeen years ago by several pros
pectors without money. but rich with
the abundant hope and faith that has
made possible the upbuilding of the
west. The groupings were no more
promising tnan in other parts Of the
district; the usual iron and quartz out
crop, with a little lead carbonates
scattered through it.
They ran tunnel In on the vein
several hundred feet, without very en-
couraging result; the ledge showed sew
eral feet wide with the same lead car
donates through it, but contained no
merchantable ore. The faith of the
owners was still strong; they sold sever
al interests In the claims. and started
another tunnel farther down the hill
They worked ON this tunnel lor years,
expanding what money they could raise.
Along in the summer Of 1901 the tunnel

and it showed high values in lead and
phenomenal values in silver-it was the
east end of the famous carbonate shoot
of the Hercules mine. They dritted On
this ore for few feet and the body
opened mp to twenty feet in width,
every pound of which was rich Ia lead
and silver with lunches of ore running
thousands of ounces in silver.
Their fortune was made. The ore
was SO rich that they did not require a
dollar OF capital to exploit it. They
started shipping ore that fall. Every
owner was at one time without means.
Since that time the mine has paid 10
net profits over two and one half million
of dollars. This year it will probably
pay twelve hundred Thousand dollars
F.: to the men who had sufficient faith tC
stay with it, and so big and rich has
the ore become with extensive develop
ment that the owners would probably
not consider an offer Of ten million
dollars for the property today.
One OF the owners, young man abou
30 years old, is erecting, an eleven story
building on Spokane property that cos
him $950,000. Other owners have rein
vested in Occur d'Alene properties un-
til they are now mnlti-millionaires.
