DOG OPENS MASTERS GRAVE.
Shows Extreme Love by Attempting
Rescue From Earth.

Rapid City, s.. D., April "a pc
culiar case of a dogs love for and de-
votion to it's master has come to light
at Bridgeport a little town few
miles southeast of here.
Homer S. Woolwebber died near
there recently and his body was buried
three days after his death in a little
country burying ground. Mr. Wool
webber's big ST. Bernard dog lay just
outside the door of his bedchamber
almost constantly during his long liz
ness and would steal into his masters
room and go up to the bedside and
lick his hand whenever he found a
chance to do so.
When Mr.. Woolwebber died the dog
showed unmistakable signs of grief
and during the three days the dead
body lay in coffin In the house the
animal lay beside the coffin, refusing
to be driven out except at meal time
and growing and showing his teeth
when any stranger approached the
coffin to look upon the dead face of
his master.
The dog remained in the house and
near the coffin when the funeral SER
vices were held and cried and whined
piteously during the singing of the
hymns. He followed the hearse to
the cemetery, and when the coffin was
lowered in to the grave he sat close
by and continued to whine and cry.
The family had the utmost difficulty
to get the dog away from the grave
and out of the cemetery when the
burial was over. The morning after
the funeral the dog disappeared from
the house and did not come back till
night. Every morning for a week OF
more he went away and stayed all
day.
Finally it was discovered that the
dog had been going to his masters
grave and that she had dug q great
hole in 1t nearly down to the coffin
When an attempt was made to drive
the animal away from the grave he
showed fight. He was finally coaxed
away and taken home and chained VI
in order that he might not continue
his work OF opening the grave.

to washington or to that state capital
where. at the moment is grinding the
most drastic of the pending measures
inimical to railway interests. Rail-
road presidents are not on their reg
ular job; no. they are darling hither
and yon throughout their territory.
AS to traffic managers, do not picture
them in Chicago offices, securely bar
ricaded behind office boys, secretaries
and stern chief clerks No Stree;

Wis, Des Moines, Ia, or some more
remote capital, arguing and mixing

complete assortment of executives were
on the firing line, mostly at Spring
field where 2-cent fare bill was up.
There was Mr.. FELTON, of the Alton
big,calm and official Mr. FELTON,, with
an inherited air of a railroad presi-
dent; President Harahan of the Illi-
nois Central-bluff man from the ranks
that he is; and President Winchell
of the Rock Island. 1t was altogether
a curious spectacle; rather discon-
certing to dignity
/ The efforts of Secretary Root to
satisfy the Canadians in their protest
against the diversion Of more water
from Lake Michigan for the Chicago
drainage canal have brought out some
interesting facts regarding the real
reason for the stand which the Cana
dian government has taken. The
claim was originally made that any
further diversion of water from the
lakes would affect the level of the
st. Lawrence river. 1t now transpires
that the Canadian government is less
concerned about the river than it is
about it's great system of inland ca
nails. These canals which empty into
the St. Lawrence have been construct
ed at an expense of many millions OF
dollars. They have revolutionized
| transportation methods in the eastern
provinces, and any impairment OF
their usefulness would come as q
serious blow to the farmers and manu-
featuring interests of the dominion
These facts have been brought to the
attention of Secretary Root and may
have some effect on his decision. They
have also been laid before members OF
the congressional rivers and harbor,

erett Hale to Become Permanent.

Boston, April 3.-This is the eighty
fifth anniversary of the birth of Rev.
DR.. Edward Everett Hale, and the
dearest wish of his heart is fulfilled
today when the Lend a Hand society,
of which he is the founder. and for
which he has spent so much time and
labor, the most beloved production of
his brain and heart, is to become a
permanent organization. All the mem
bers of the society and the friends of
the organization have contributed to
an endowment fund. which places the
organization upon permanent foot
ing, and it is expected that before the
day is done all the money required will
be paid. in IF never see you again,
I die happier for your efforts to make
my work permanent" said DIR. Hale
when it was first proposed to endow
the Lend-a- Hand society. Governor
Guild is chairman of the honorary
committee, which includes sixteen
representative men and women from
various parts of the country The So
ciety was formed some thirty five
years ago, and fifteen years later the
Lend a. Hand Magazine, organ of the
club, was first issued. The Lend-a
Hand club is found in all churches OF
all denominations. and the Lend-a
Hand society is the organized union
of the clubs.

order from Inspector General Adler.

ing inspection, and who shall give no
warning of their official visit. The
new order further provides that, in
addition to the regular inspection, re-
inspection of ferryboats and excursion
boats shall be made at least three
times a season. Six of the inspectors
have been removed temporarily TO
other districts on the Atlantic coast,
and other places have been filled from
Philadelphia. Inspection Of boats that
have been overhauled for the summer
service will be made some time in
April Again some time in June
after the excursion season opens the
first reinspection will be made, and
there will be two more in the sum-
mer at times when the shippers are
least expecting them. The ferries,
tugs and coastwise steamers plying to
New York have been undergoing an
nual inspection since March /.

from the hill tops of public attack and
counter attack. One spectacle was
the Chicago Tribune and Hearst's pa
pers blowing mud, accusations ana
$l,000,000 challenges at each other.
Hearst sued The Tribune for 50, $780,
600, alleging libel in the publication of
the statements made by Secretary
Root in his famous speech at Utica.
Promptly The Tribune republished the
obnoxious statements and intimated
that Hearst might be sued for state

torn regulations and shattered idols,

BALI IMoRE CLIMATE.
1t Is Neither Too Hot Nor Too Cold,
According to Records.


Baltimore, April 3.-The annual re-
port of the United States weather bu-
reau gives facts that make a remark
able showing for the climate of Balti-
more. 1t is rare that big storm or
blizzard hits this city, whether the
disturbance comes from the east or
the west. That the range OF tempera-
ture is moderate is also a. claim often
made for Baltimore. The records OF
the weather bureau show that the
claim is well founded. Last year was
remarkable for exceptional weather.
The summer was the wettest on rec
ord since 1892, when regular observa-
lions began. The year was also re-
markable for a late frost. One Of the
most severe spells of cold weather
ever experienced so late in the season
eliminated on May IL, when killing
frost occurred in numerous localities.
But in Baltimore no killing frost was
noted after April and the first in
autumn did not occur until Nov. 9,
while the eastern shore killing frost
came as early as Oct. IL. The Balti-
more climate is all right; neither too
hot nor too cold.

Midland, S. D., April s.-Miss Eliza
beth Weber was to have been mar
ried few nights ago at the home Of
her parents to Frank c. Hendrickson,
but when in the presence of guests
who had been invited to witness the
ceremony she was asked by the Off
ciating clergyman If she took Hen
erickson to be her lawfully welded
husband, she answered in a clear
voice: Il do not"
Thereupon she broke down and cried
Historically and had to be taken from
the room. When she had regained
her composure In a measure and was
asked whether she desired to have
the ceremony performed, she said that
she could not become Hendrickson's
wife
She confessed that she had for sew
eral months doubted Hendrickson's
love for her and that her doubts had
developed into a conviction, when she
stood up with him to be married, that
he loved another girl.
She could not tell why she believed
that Hendrickson did not love her and
did love another girl, but she pro-
tested that she did believe it and,
therefore, could not become his wife.
Hendrickson protested that the girl
had no good reason to doubt his love
for her. He tried earnestly to per-
suade her to take the marriage vows,
but she remained obdurate and he
went away grief stricken,

tinued with much success. This
meeting will discuss the project before
advanced, of a uniform and model

toward making the national associa-
ton something more than federation;
toward amalgamating into one work
