DOG THAT RIDES ON ENGINES.

Bosses Trainmen.

Baltimore, Md.-Ginger, a curly
haired, chrome-yellow dog of uncer-
tain ancestry, with, however, a strain
of patTician Irish terrier blood in his
veins, has been appointed unofficial
yardmaster at Calvert station, North
ern Central railway. Ginger's promo

the company last fall Merit alone has

this incident had a deep effect upon
his earlier years.
Mr.. AsQuith had taken an inferior
part in politics until 1886, when he
was returned to the house of COM
mons as a liberal from East Fifeshire.
He theTeupOn began a surprising
career. He made his first mark in the
liberal party by defending Mr.. Gun
ninghame Graham, who with John
Burns was prosecuted for attempting
to vindicate the right of public meet
ing in Trafalgar Square. The case
was lost, but the fight he made
strengthened Mr.. Asquith with the
liberals both in and out of parliament.
In the following year he laid the cor
ner stone of his reputation. For some
time he had been junior to Sir
Charles Russell, later the chief justice
of England. When Charles Stewart
Parnell was attacked by the Times
and demanded an investigation he re-
tanned Sir Chs 70 represent him,

box as its first witness and Sir Charles
had cross-eXamined him to no pur
pose. The court adjourned Cor,

Mr. Asquith by calmly informing him
that he had better cross-examine the
next witness.
Mr.. Asquith protested, but when
court again convened prepared to take
on Mr.. Mcdonald, who, after Mr.. AS
quith's crOss-examinatiOn. became IA
! nous as the Simple Simon" Of the
Times. Asquith's first question Nc
Donald answered in supremely silly
fashion. The opening was imme-
diately seized by Mr. Asquith and his
reputation was made.
Favorable notice of Mr.. Gladstone
was attracted by the success of Mr..
Asquith in the Parnell case, and soon
after the home secretaryship in the
incoming liberal cabinet was offered to
Mr.. Asquith, when he was only 40
years old. He was thus promoted at
one leap over the head of Sir Charles
Russell. who was attorney general,
which occasiOned much surprise and
comment.
Mr.. Asquith held cabinet rank dur

Gladstone and the first administration

The above question is giving Gus
tayus Sem, the father OF the young
man, much anxiety.
Yesterday the elder Sem was in
Grand Junction seeking information
concerning the body that had been
found. He called upon County I'm
dertaker Bannister and County Cor
oner II. S. Day and secured descrip-
tions of the body.
Mr.. Sem states that his son, aged
22 years, left the home in Colorado
Springs on August of last year,
and from that day the family has
never heard from him or of him. AL
ways in the past the young man had
been very considerate of the family
when he was away from home and
wrote to them frequently. For many
months the father has believed that
the young man had met with foul
play, and the chief of police of Col
orado Springs and other officers have
been trying to locate the missing
man.
The father states that his son was
of fine physique, and was light COM
plexioned. He wore No. 9 shoe.
1t will be remembered that the
body cast up by the river had no
head nor shoulders, those portions of
tDt DOuN HAVING eNlueully DtCoIlt
separated from the trunk after the
water had brought about decomposi-
ton; consequently, it is almost i'm
possible to identify the remains. On
the remaining foot was No. 8 shoe.
The body had on the clothes of a la
borer.
George Sem, the missing man, was
n laborer, as the man whose body
was found in the river evidently had
been.
The father states that his son left
home with the intention of return
ing soon. joining his father and they
expected to come to western Colo
RADIO to engage in ranching.
The elder Sem has purchased a
tract of land near Whitewater in this
county and is now residing there
He returned to Whitewater today
He has many reasons to believe thai
the body found in the river was thai
of his son. If 1t is the body OF his
son, Mr.. Sem believes that the young
man met with foul play and the body
was thrown into the river.
Every effort made In the past
months to locate George Sem. yet
not one trace of him has ever been
found.

Palisade is one of the few fruit
sections of Colorado which seems to
be able to withstand the late frosts.
The explanation is found, it is be-
licved. in the sholtering walls of tie
Little Book Cliffs lying to the east
of the town. where they absorb heat
from the long afternt on sun and
radiate it back over the valley after
the sun has set. During the day n
person standing near these cliffs can
feel the almost overpowering heat
which they throw off at the same
time that a great deal of it is being
absorbed. When night comes the
cliffs send forth their stored up heat
rays over the fruit orchards, with
the result that impending frost is
warded off and mellowed to q point
where it does little harm, even at
times when other places in the same
section of the state are badly fros.

about to lose his job, according to the
Bellingham papers. Poor Hugh: Fever
since his first appointment, by reason OF
some political combination which required
the slaughter of some fatted calf, his re-
tirnment has been the prediction topic of
the Bellingham prognosticators during every
crmpaign Serene Hugh: during all the
talk, fuss and wire-pulling his sphinx like
appearance is the admiration and life-raft
Of his followers and the contamination of
his enemies and when the tidal wave has
receeded, he bobs to the surface as surely
as a chunk of butter in tub of water.
Wise Hugh: he may not always be able to
save his following, but himself he always
pulls out seemingly, at times, by the eye
brows that is the organization and that
saved we'll. A capital fellow is Hugh,
burned if he aint, and may he enjoy the
results of his labors when his enemies have
gone to stimulate vegetable growth-Ar-

The Seattle municipal election
is over and it was a land slide for
the entire Republican ticket. All
signs of rain fail in dry weather,
is an old addage, and so it was as
to the campaign prognosticator
those who believed they saw signs
of a Moore land slide, now realize
their poor ability for political
predictions.
The splendid campaign made by
John F. Miller told in the end as
contrary to all expectations he
beat Mayor Moore by plurality
of 5,O38 votes. While Mr.. Miller
is to be given credit for a great
part of the victory as he did do
mastery work, nevertheless it was
the Post-Intelligencer that saved
the day for him. He was nOmi-
mated at the suggestion of the
P.I. and it gave him the best sup
port that it has given any candi-
date for office in many years. Col.
Prosser lead the ticket by re-
ceiving 20, 149 out of the whole
vote cast. Col. Prosser is most
energetic campaigner and did
splendid work both at the direct
primary contest and at the gen
eral election. The popularity of
Scott Calhoun is still quite ap-
parent as he came next on the
ticket. Harry Carroll, who, it
was thought, would get scratched
to certain extent, ran almost as
strong as did Calhoun and not
withstanding the fact Billy Muir
ply beat Albert ]. Goddard a
couple Of thousand votes in the
direct primary contest at the late
election Goddard ran pretty close
to him, thus showing that God
dard ard was just as popular

as any of the candidates.
The Democrats lost out COM
pletely and instead of Gen. Met
calf getting 5000 votes as was
generally predicted he did not
get a 1000 votes. The Socialist
vote likewise went glimmering as
they preferred to vote for Miller

M oore being reelected.

announcement has been made before and
everyone knows is only made to be broken
