aRAcs" is SAD.

Rags IS sad.
The second great sorrow Of hi
life has come. and with It a heavy
heart and a dropping tail. for rags
Is a bright little Scotch terrier, the
inseparable companion Of Charles
Pigg. Mr.. Pigg is playing on a
Chautauua circuit and Rags" Is pay.
ing a visit to Alec Gamble, operat.
or at the orpheum Theatre.
For over ten years Rags" fol-
lowed Lee Gordon about Mexico,
at the time MIR. Gordon was connect
cd with the Wabash here. Once he
was taken to Fulton. after Mr.. Cor
don went 70 st. Louis. but
rags" walked all the way home on
y to find his master gone. That was
his first sorrow.
Since Mr.. Pigg came to Mexico
and Rags" became attached to him
they have been always seen together.
Mr. Pigg says he Is almost human in
bis understanding of what is said TO
him. He is a bright-eyed, frisky lit
tie pup. old in dogdom. but youthful
in spirit. He is absolutely ~unself--
ish in his friendship and staunch in
his devotion.
Rags" Is one of the characters
about town. He always has a
friendly wag of the tail for a kind
word but seemed to have a Fremont
ton of MI. Pigg's departure.
For several days, according to Mr.
Pigg, the tempo of his wags had
been decidedly rubato.
Mr.. Pigg is a musical artistic of
ability and asserts rags" appre--
ciates the really classical music bet
ter than ragtlme.
He says B~eethoven's Moonlight So.
nato' seems to sooth him while TOO
Much Mustard" always calls forth a
growl.
Rags" is also a critic OF the
drama. He is a regular attendant at
the Alrdome where he watches every
move on the stage with a knowing
eye If they pull" any ''old stuff
he curls up and drops off to sleep,
another proof of his being almost hui
man.
When o see"Rags." give him a
friendly pat on his fat little back.
He needs consolation and as 1t is
cheap and unaffected by the drouth,
we can afford to BIO liberal in its
dispensing.

MAYOR ]. w. DRY. in speaking of
the payment for the Callahan tract in
East Mexico states the check has
been written and is at the City Hail
and has been there for some time.
Mr.. Dry states the Circuit Court al
lowed Mr.. Callahan 5000 for the
the tract and that it is Gus
tomary to assess the benefits and
damages on property abutting a new
street that Is opened. In the case
of Mr.. Callahan his benefits were as
sessed at s125. The Court allowed
Mr. Callahan $500 for his propertyand
this less the benefit of s125 leaves
S475. Mayor Dry says the check
has been written for some time
but for some reason or other. Mr..
Callahan does not see fit 10 ae-
cept it.
MIR. CaiiahaD's lawyers claim that
the verdict Of the Commission from
the City Court assessing Mr. Callahan
SIPS benefits was appealed to the
Circuit Court and the jury that al
owed him 5000 for his land did 10
without allowing the 1925 benefit.
This is how the matter stands at

END STRIKE TO AID RUSSIA

Workmen at St. Petersburg Approve
Support of Servia in Crisis.
St. Petersburg, July 2S.-The work
men in the Russian capital, who had
been on strike for week, decided to
resume work in order to emphasize
their approval of the Russian gov
ernment's support of Servia.

ties for sixteen cars, while the Great
twenty cars.
All the large cattle owners of Mon
tana have signified their intention of
bringing their herds to the state fair,
where the animals can be comfortably
cared for in the barns which were re-
modelled last year.
Among the prominent exhibitors
will be George Slade, vice president
of the Northern Pacific railway;
Harry Childs Of the Yellowstone Park
hotels; Summers. and Bohart of the
Gallatin valley and p. H. Griffin Of
Sunset. Quite few carloads of cat
tie will be sent direct from the North
Dakota fair at Fargo for competition
in Montana.
Despite the fact that the cattle
divisions of the Montana state fair
are open to worldwide competition it
is the Montana cattle that yearly win
the blue ribbons, demonstrating that
cattle from the Montana ranges are
the worlds best.
The fair offers as premiums this
year in the cattle divisions $7,53S, as
follows: For Shorthorns, $3.50; for
Herefords, $1,7O0; for Aberdeen-An-
gus, $500; for Galloway, $500, and for
Red Pollard, $500; and Sis in other
divisions.

SITUATION APPEARS
EXTREMELY CRAVE
Several Continental Powers Ac-
lively Engaged in Mobi|iza-
ton Of Forces.

London, July 28.-Glimmers of hope
flicker in the darkened sky of Euro
pean policies. While all the powers
are preparing for possible evensuali-
ties, with Russia and Germany TAX
ing active preparatory steps, Belgium
and France considering arrangements
for mobilizing forces, and the British
navy ordered ready, their statesmen,
with Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary at their head, are
endeavoring to bring together the
mediation.
Sir Edward Grey invited the gov
ernments Of Austria-Hungary, Servia
and Russia to suspend operations
pending the result of his proposed
conference, which would be held in
London. His suggestion was that the
French, German and Italian ambassa-
doris in London should confer With
him in the endeavor to find means
of solving the present difficulties.
The Italian government Informed him
it accepted his invitation to join in a
mediation conference.
Servian Legation Hopeful.
At the Servian legation in London
the view was held that some improve
ment had taken place in the situation,
and this was attributed to the influ-
ence exercised by Russia. Alex
Georgevitch, the first secretary, said
1--WE have complied with everything
that does not impair our sovereign
rights. If, however, Austria Hungary
wants war she will see that we are
prepared to accept it in the interests
of the dignity of our state"
The fact that Austrian ambassadors
abroad were willing to discuss the
controversial points with foreign gov.
ernments, and especially with Russia,
led to the belief that an outlet for the
deadlock would be found.
The stock markets of London and
the European capitals still displayed
a panicky feeling, although it was not

as pronounced as on Saturday.
Sir Edward Grey, in announcing in
the house of commons the steps to
be taken to bring about mediation,
said:
Il understand that the German gov
eminent is favorable to mediation in
principle as between Russia and Aus
tria, but to our particular proposal
to apply that principle by means of
conference the German government
has not yet replied
Sees Great Catastrophe.
Sir Edward said failure of these ef-
forts to bring about settlement
would lead to 1.-The greatest catastro-
phe which could befall the concert of
Europe, and it's consequences would
be incalculable."
The Italian and German ambassd-
doris here conferred with Sir Edward
Grey with what result could not be
ascertained.
The members of the foreign diplo.
matte corps and officials of the Brit
A most serious view of the situa-
ton is taken here and every effort is
being made to find some way out OF
the crisis.
1t is said Austria-Hungary will not
move her forces against the Servian
capital for twenty-four hours, which
is confirmation of a statement made
by the Austrian ambassador in Lon.
don that Austria Hungary desired to
give Servia further time to consider
her reply to the ultimatum from
Vienna.
Outside of Austria Hungary and
Germany, the reply sent by Servia is
regarded as very fair one, as it
grants all the demands which SOW.
ereign state could grant.

TO TALK TO BIG BUSINESS
Wilson Accepts Invitation of Mer-
chants Association.

Washington, July 2S.-President
Wilson has tentatively accepted an
invitation presented by a committee
representing the Merchants associa-
ton of New York, headed by Abram
L. Elkus, to attend it's annual dinner
on date to be chosen to suit his
convenience and to address big bust
ness"
The committee explained to the
president that the members of the
association were among the most
prominent in the business world and
that if he wished to explain his views
of the business situation this would
afford him an excellent opportunity.
President Wilson seemed delighted
with the invitation and promptly ac-
cepted.
