Wolfe's Dog Came to Life.

Neigh, Neb., April 26.-Special to
The News: The dog poisoner is
again getting in his deadly work upon
some of the most valuable CANNES in
this city. There appears to be no GER
tain locality where the deadly drug
is placed as the effect Is the same in
all parts of town. Possibly the most
highly valued dog and most thought
of, was Dewey" owned by S. F. Gill
man, that succumbed to the poison
route last week. Veterinary Surgeon
Mathews has been busy of late admin
istering antidotes to a number of the
highly priced CANNES, and where
prompt attention was given, invaria-
bly, the animal recovered.
The most unique feature of this
question may be accredited to billie"
the little house dog of the Emanuel
Wolfe family. He was pronounced
dead; taken by the garbage carrier
and rs cents paid for the depositing
OF his body on the dog mound, about a
mile south of town. There was the
usual sorrow existing among the lit
tie folk at the Wolfe home that day.
For some cause not explained, Bill
lie' was not accorded the burial that
most dogs receive, but was merely
dumped off from the wagon, thus pre-
venting an actual death. There was a
surprise next morning when the kitch-
en- door of the Wolfe home was open
ed and found Billie" waiting for his
breakfast. 1t was not only a treat
to see the dogs actions, but those of
the children as well, when the sup
posed dead had come to life.

talena Chambers came forward from
the back of the church with lily,
which she gave to her father.
I'm placing this lily in the jar" said
Mr.. Chambers, as he sealed the flower
in the jar, I'VE wish to signify that
though our brothers have departed and
passed over the river, the memory
Of their lives are still with us-they
are not forgotten"

to Advertise the State

to Advertise the State.
Pierre, S. d., April 27.-At meet
ing of the executive and financial COM
mittees of the State Federation OK
Commercial clubs, which was held
with Governor Wesley in tfis city, sew
eral plans of raising fund to boost
for the state were discussed.
Before the meeting adjourned it was
decided as one means of raising a
fund for the sale of booster buttons"
Other methods discussed were tosecnre
financial cooperation of the different
railroads operating within the state
and several other methods were dis
cussed as possibility. This move
grows out of the failure of the state
legislature to make any appropriation
for an immigration bureau. At the an
nual meeting the federation at Dead
wood it was decided to take some de-
finite steps toward advertising the
state If possible, and the legislative
and financial committees were author
lied to take whatever steps they con-
sidered best toward raising a fund to
establish an office at the state capt.
tai to carry on the advertising work,
with the state officials whenever pos
sible, and give at least quasi-offi-
cial Standing to the bureau so estab-
tlshed. The meeting here was for
the purpose OF raising the fund for
that purpose, and active steps will be
taken at once to secure enough to war;
rant the opening up of department.

DELAY Occurs In New Road.

ors followed thick upon each other
Monday morning as to the abandon
men of the Yankton-Norfolk bridge
project. So persistent did these
rumors become and so positive were
the statements made that C. b. Harris,
city attorney, who has been identified
with the enterprise for many years,
vas appealed to for information, II
he had any to give. Mr. Harris at
p. Dickinson of Chicago, under date
of April II, in which that gentleman,
who is most prominently Identified
with the fiscal end of the Yankton-
Norfolk, anticipates just such local
condition as existed here today. Mr..
Dickinson stated he understood the
usual stock rumors were afloat re-
garding his enterprise and that he
wrote to Mr.. Harris in case the rumors
were disturbing anyone.
Mr.. Dickinson said Mr.. Yuille had
returned to Chicago in company with
Mr.. Graham, after trip to the coun-
ty seats In Nebraska, looking up
right of way titles, which were found
to be in unsatisfactory shape, and
which will take time to fix up. With
this out of the way 1t was hoped that
active work in the field at this end
will be resumed.
Mr.. Dickinson was leaving at once
for the east on business connected
with the work and expected to be in
Washington to take up with the prop
er authorities river improvement at
this point, that the big bridge project
might be assured government protec-
ton, so far as it was possible. On
his return Mr.. Dickinson said he
hoped to have the pleasure of visiting
Yankton, in company with Mr.. Ora
ham and hoped at that time to be
able to meet the friends of the pro-
ject in Yankton.
Mr.. Dickinson concluded his letter
by saying it could be readily under
stood that 1t was quite task to
work out the preliminaries of a pro-
ject of such magnitude as the matter
in hand and get everything in shape
for actual construction, but said he
hoped to be able to get around some
of the big difficulties that were re-
tarding the work and for the best in
terests of the railroad property, al
though the delay might cause dissat-
isfaction at this end of the line.
where folks might be wondering
about the slow movement of the pro-
ject, and thus start disquieting ru-
mors.
This timely letter appears to cover
the field very thoroughly and it may
be once more affirmed quite positive
ly that the bridge is still "go" al
though not rushing along as fast Us
some of the impatient ones would like
to see.

and tn" misrepresentation OF DR.. Cook
stores at E,ah. This action is being ar.
ranged in view Of the reports that Prary
hats placed his case against DR.. COX
in the hands Of a lawyer.
Because OF the attitude of the two ey.
plorrrs. 1t appears to many Of their
friends that he courts and not the Scic't-
titicc societies may decide who discov,.ct
the pole.
DR.. Cook refused to discuss impending
legal proceedings. liz did not deny that
proceedings would be brought, but he
left the talking to his secretary, who
said:
"Dr. Cook has been in consultation
with Mr.. Bradley, the financial hacker
of his expedition. They are perfectly
willing to meet any attack made by
Mr.. Prary, but | am not free to say
whether or not such an attack will be
fore,taIIcd by legal proceedings

Il will not say
"Will he charge that Peary took his
stores and furs and sold thcm."
There are aiIidavits bearing on these
points,"
will the proceedings he brought by
DR.. Cook or by Mr.. Dradley!"
Il should say that DR.. Cook will take
charge Of his own %atfairs.'

that DR.. Cook is preparing to charge
Peary with SANDER in saving that be
