TERRIER CHASED A CAT
Latter Is Now Wedged Between
Two Buildings.
RESCUERS WORK IN VAIN
Ingenious Schemes of Firemen
and Police Get No Response
from Tabby.

A scrappy fox terrier roaming through
'Dutchtown." in Williamsburg late yes
J terday afternoon spied stray cat in
Cornelia street, and with a yelp Of IN
tense delight chased the cat and It's am
plifed tail through the hallway Of a two
story frame tenement house at No. 164.
and up two flights of stairs to the roof.
where q woman was hanging out clothes.
Adjoining this building is a four story
brick tenement just three inches away.
In this window, partly open. seemed to
offer a refuge. But Tabby miscalculated
her distance. She struck the lover edge
Of the window frame and bounded back.
Not all the needle points concealed in
her paws could save her. She slipped
down between the frame and brick tene-
ments, and wedged there about fifteen
feet from the ground.
Last evening policemen from the Ham,
burg avenue station and f1remen from
Hook and Ladder Company 161 were
making ingenious attempts to rescue
the unhappy cat. Patrolman Ammon,
after all other attempts had failed, low
cred fishline with a piece of meat tied
on 1t, hoping that Tabby would use
little intelligence as we'll as instinct and
fasten TO it with her teeth, and thus en-
able him to pull her up to the roof.
Tabby meowed piteously and ignored
the meat
BY this time about two hundred
neighbors, mostly kind hearted Ger
mans, had gathered, and formal, de-
mands were made on the owners OF the
respective tenement houses TO allow
perforations TO made made in the walls
for the cats sake. Each demurred, say
ing that 1t would cost at least $500
Patrolman Ammon finally said he would
shoot the cat. An agent of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty TO AMI
mails, who had hurried 10 the scene, said
he wouldn't allow It.
Jimmy" Davis. seven years old, who
likes cats more than anything else that
he knows of, borrowed nickel from his
mother in the tenement house at No. 164
and bought some catnip. which he fas-

Tabby's nose Some one else let down a
tin cupful full of milk. but the cats pre-
dicament seemed TO have affected her
appetite, for she continued her fasting
until a late hour last night, when the
Fire Department came back with an
acetylene lamp and apparatus Of rescue.
1t was no use. Tabby remained fast be-
tween the buildings.
II one or the other Of the landlords
does not agree to cut hole in the side
OF his house day, the tenants say they
will seek the aid of the law. No one
seemed TO know where the cat came
from.
The fox terrier was driven from the
neighborhood by shower OF sticks and
stones hurled at It by the small boys.

The death Of n H. Jewell, publishe,
of the Bismarck Tribune, at his home
on Friday last, will bring wave al
sorrow from all over this state. and par.

years stood up in plain view of the
whole people, who has never marched
with the rear guard, but has been
among the leaders at the front from the

a part Of the history of the territory and

THEY DON'T AGREE.

'tWhat difference does it make to the
buyer in Liverpool whether the wheat
moves to him through Minneapolis,
Duluth or Port Arthur
j j. HILL.
"As there are greater differences
between the prices of wheat, barley and
other grains between adjoining states
in our country than between the prices
in Winnipeg and Minneapolis, where
does the tariff come IMP"
"Protection does not apply as between
this country and Canada"
"We heartily indorse without qualifi
cation, the above sentiments so ably
oppressed in the address we have heard
tonight" w. D. WASHBURN.
"The price of wheat, less Transports
tion and other charges for warehouse
and delivery, is fixed by what all the
wheat exporting countries. including
the United States and Canada, can get
for their surplus in Liverpool. Hence
the sending of any part Of Canada's
surplus through our country, instead
of through Canada to be milled or to
be exported without milling, will not
materially affect the price Of wheat for
our farmers" PRESIDENT TAFT.
"The price Of wheat in Minneapolis
for some years has been higher than
any place in the world, higher than in
Chicago, Duluth, New York and at
times higher than at Liverpool. This
has been caused by the demand for
milling purposes" w. o. WASHBURN.
And the necessary implication of Mr..
Washburn's s statement follows, that the
demand exceeded the supply, or the
higher prices would not prevail.
The above propositions of Mr.. Hill
ard President Taft are also answered
by, themselvcs-by implication and
statement. If the tariff makes no
difference it will then make no differ
ence il taken away. But the fact re-
mains, and cannot be disputed that
hard wheat averages about ten cents a
bushel more at Pembina than at
Emerson, four miles apart.

Only the experts understand that the

matter Of fact. there are few localities
on the earth's surface where the com

because the north magnetic pole OF

in Minneapolis for some years has been

SOME STYLE AT THE U.

In describing the glories at the
"Junior Pr1m" at the University at
Grand Forks last week, a spectator
made the estimate that the dresses and
other accessories of the young ladies
must have averaged at least the sum OF
$50 each, while the cost of full dress
suits, tickets and carriages etc. of the
young gentlemen must have sized up
about as much more.
Whether this sort of thing is good
educational policy might be open to
a serious question-either for the stu.
