Worthing, s. D.-During the last
high water, large pike and carp made
their way up drainage canal In Grant
township. this county, with the result
that Henry Hanson. farmer, lost a
young calf. carried off by giant pike.
Melvin E. Sundvold tells the story as
reported by Hanson.
The farmer heard noise among his
cattle one night, and rushed out
toward the trouble, which he found
was near the canal. He found several
calves standing belly deep in water,
and noticed one little calf making a
desperate effort to pull its tail free
from something.
The farmer. with his bare legs, was
afraid of barbed wire, but he waded
cautiously toward the calf, and, just
as he caught it, monster pike lashed
the water all over him, and for a mo-
ment he was blinded. Wiping the
water from his eyes, he found the
calf was being dragged toward deep
water. Hanson made desperate ef-
fort to reach the animal before 1t was
dragged into the canal, but he failed,
and the calf struggled until II finally
drowned.

MlLAN's GOLDEN KEYS LOST.
Emblem Of Submission to Austria
Bergamo Robbed of CoIleoni's VIII.

Rome.-Milan and Bergamo have
just discovered the loss Of certain
artistic treasures. From the great
Sforza Castle, sacred to the memory
of the Sforza, dukes of Milan, the fa-
nous and historical golden keys OF
Milan are missing.
They had always been kept In a
glass case in the Renaissance museum
of the castle, reposing on an antique
brocade cushion, whose warm red tint
served to throw into relief the huge
golden keys.
To the Milanese these keys have q
great, II painful, interest, as they
were specially made for the symbolical
ceremony of the submission OF Milan
to Austrian domination, and so until
lately served to keep patriotism awake
in the hearts of the Milanese, who
hate Austria much worse than they dc
the devil.
No trace of the thieves has yet been
found. The theft is quite incompre
hensible, as the intrinsic value of the
keys is small.
Bergamo's loss is heavier. both
sentimentally and financially. Berga.

medieval warrior, Bartholomeo Col

testament remained to his birthplace

The James c. McGrew of to-day Is
wonderfully vigorous for his years
and keeps actively in touch with mat

was born in Brandonville, in what is
now Preston county, w. Va, and grew
up the typical farmers boy, keeping
to the country school and the farm
until 10, when a commercial lie ap-
pealed to him and he took up work In
a general store at Kingwood.
His first political move was as
delegate to the famous secession con-
vention of Virginia, held at Richmond
in February, 1861. He took part in the
discussions of this convention. but op'
posed secession, and. with 81 other
delegates, voted nay on the PROPOSE
ton of leaving the union, and then
held a secret session, voting to go
home and to arouse not only opposition
to the secession ordinance, but to ex'
cite a demand for the partition OF the
state of old Virginia.
This was another sort of secession
and out of the movement planned and
aided by McGrew there arose the
present wonderful state of West Vir-
ginia. OF the 152 members Of the
famous Richmond secession conven-
tion, Col McGrew is the only surviv-
or. In the new state of West Vir-
ginia he has ever been active and
conspicuous. He was chosen mem
ber of the first and second legisla-
lures and is proud at this time to re-
late that he worked hard to establish
the school system and the state COL
lege at Morgantown.
He was elected to congress in 1868

Asked Four chips and Gets Two a
Tear-senate Kills Original Bill,
But Substitute Is Pract csIIy the
same-United States Now in Front
Rank of Naval Progress.

Washington, April 2S.-Two bat
tleships a year is what President
Roosevelt says he has accomplished
through his fight for his naval pro-
gram. Had he been victorious in
having four ships authorized at this
session, the United States could have
dictated terms of disarmament to the
nations of the world.
This statement, made tonight, fol-
lowing the passage by the senate to-
day of the naval bill, calling for two
new battleships, is understood to re-
veal the presidents source of
strength in the naval fight which has
Deen waged so strenuously.
Furthermore, two ships this year
with the promise of two ships each
year to follow, which the president
has accepted as a bona fide stipula-
ton on the part of the senate, means
simply a program which will place
the United States in the front rank
OF naval progression, but which fails
to place it in the position of dictat-
ing a cessation of naval aggression.
That the president, on the whole,
is pleased with the result of his eff
forts with congress on this subject,
was made manifest tonight; that he
firmly believes in the ability of the
United States to dictate the naval
policy of the world in the future,
though overwhelmingly outstripping
US in naval construction.
