DOGS KILL HOGS AND SHEEP.
Mr.. Black Uses Strichnine to Stop
Canine DepredatiOns.

Mr.. w. w. Black, the manager of
the Dawson Market and Grocery Co.,
has been greatly annoyed by dogs
killing hogs and sheep in the com
pany's pasture near the city.
A few mornings ago he discovered
the carcasses of three goats, one
sheep and one hog that had been
killed during the night, and con-
cluded to adopt poison as the surest
means of dispOsing of the ''varmint''
that was guilty of the depredations.
He accordingly put out some poi
soned beef, and the result has been
several dead dogs, among them two
white ones of the bull pup" variety.

PAYS HIS OWN
FARE TOENTFR
ANOTHER JAIL
Robert lie Clerc Goes Voluntarily
to Face New Jersey
Justice
While Hackensack Detective
Bickers Over Transportation
Accused Man Departs

Voluntarily crossing the continent
for the purpose of going to jail is the
unriyaled feat OF Robert lie Clerc, ar
rested in this city June 16 on advice
received from Hackensack, N. j., where
the prisoner Is wanted to answer
charge Of forgery involving title to a
piece of property valued at $4,000.
While the Hackensack police wished
the local department to arrest lie
Clerc. 1t would not furnish money for
detective to take the accused young
man back to face New Jersey justice,
and when LIE Clerc heard that, he made
the astounding offer to Captain OF De-
tectives Anderson to go back alone.
FREED WITH A BLESSING
1t was not within the scope OF And
erson's duties to start the fellow off
on his journey In such a happy go
lucky fashion, but lie Clerc could not
be kept at the city prison if the New
Jersey police did not want him bad
enough to send for him. So Anderson
set the prisoner free with his bless-
ing, and nothing more was heard of
the personally conducted extradition
until word camef yesterday from Hack
ensack that lie Clero had ridden up to
the dungeon keep of Hackensack and
walked in to face the local chief OF
police and prosecuting attorney.
Captain Anderson considers the ac-
ton of the New Jersey police in the
matter curious lie Clerc was arrested
at a Suffer street apartment house by
Detectives Conlin and Mackey on add
vice from County Detective w. " A.
Blauvelt of Hackensack. 1t was re-
ported that the man was wanted there
to face charge OF forgery The word
WAS that he had forged the names OF
guests in a New York hotel, where he
was employed as clerk, in connection
with a New Jersey land deal
DENIES THE FORGERY
From the first LIE CIerc denied COM
hitting the forgery, and said that he
had come west on a pleasure trip and
that he had purchased his ticket in
tending to return on the day following
his arrest Blauvelt was notified OF
the arrest and made the interesting
proposal that the San Francisco police
take lie Clerc as FAR east as Chicago.
Nothing-was said about paying the ex-
penses Of the local policeman Ahder-
son wired back that If Blauvelt wanted
lie Clerc he would have TO send out for
him. and the New Jersey detective
replied by telling Anderson to put lie
CferC on q tram connecting with the
Pennsylvania line at Chicago. The
local agent of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn had heard nothing about LIE Clerc,
however. Then lie Clerc. made peevish
by the delay, volunteered to go home
on his own ticket IL the New Jersey
people would pay for fis living ex-
penses en- route. This curious arrange
ment was made, and lie C1erc. after Is
DAYS in prison here. started out on the
5000 mile journey to another cell.

upon the home rule question? 1t was
my prediction seven years ago that the
restoration OF the people to the land
would make self-government inevita-
ble--wouId. in fact hasten it. Is this
the fact, or has the redressing OF the
land wrongs obscured the political
issue?"
The home rule sentiment is stronger
than ever" answered Dillon. TT is
increasing steadily. I do not mean to
convey that ii Is burning issue at this
moment. During the land wars it was
constantly at the front 1t was the
theme OF every meeting and the inspi-
ration OF every little revolt But the
country then was really in a state OF
civil war. The Irish people were IN
armed, but they were in constant re-
bellion, and the clashes between them
and the military and police were IN be-
half of their right of self government
mo Politics" Program Fails
"A very subtle campaign against it
was carried on some years ago by Sir
Horace Plunkett when head OF the de-
partment of agriculture. He went to
the people with the plea that they drop
politics-that everybody should get
togsther and build up the country ag-
riculturally and industrially.
''He used to boast that he would kill
home rule with Kindness. 1t was rath-
er clever phrase. and he did make
some Roadway with the thoughtless.
But, OF course. the idea Is preposter-
Gus. The present system of govern
ment, cumbersome. costly and reeking
with intolerable injustice, must be
swept away. Ameliorating reforms
are good only to certain extent; it is
worse than futile to try to cure an III
Ger by painting it. We can not build
up a stable and just government upon
a Il1orass of misrule. No matter how
fair the structure may be. II will coll
lapse Home rule alone will make this
people prosperous and eontented, and

Home Rule for Erin
Remains Vital Issue

lon Z need hardly remind you that

chase acts are gradually restoring the

chance to make a living.
But I do not refer to this broad re-
form, alone--to the mere fact that the
helpless. homeless tenants and the
eyicted families are being made inde-
pendent. 1 refer to the spirit of the
people. The whole face of the land is
changing, and the spirit of the people
with 1t. The thousands who have been
put in the way of making decent farms
and homes have become hopeful and
self-reliant, instead of despairing. The

Moral and Material Benefits

This has had Its moral as well as
its material benefits. With Increased
opportunity and independence have
sprung up naturally aspirations for
better living. The farm animals,
which, among the very poor, used to be
kept in one end of the house, are now
properly housed some distance away
from the home. Dooryards are cleaned
up, and the heaps of refuse that used
to disfigure them are swept away.
Stagnant pools are drained, roads and
fences mended and everywhere are
seen the marks OF industry and a de-
sire for comfort and cleanliness. All
these good results have followed from
the simple change from tenant slavery
to free ownership.
There has been an esthet1o slim
illus, too, which Is hardly less import
ant. 1 think, than the material regen-
GRAFTON from which it results. You
who have seen prosperous farms do
not need to be told how passionate is
the Irish love OF flowers. The little
patch of garden in the dooryard and

porches are perfectly natural to the
! irish country folk Now you will see
these evidences of contentment and or
love for the beautiful on every hand.
