QUEER SCENES OF WARFARE
Large Part of Battle of Monterey, In
the Mexican War, Was Fought
Indoors.

At the battle of Monterey, in the
Mexican war, our troops were able to
command the streets Of the city with
their artillery, but they experienced
much difficulty in driving the Next
cans from their houses Accordingly,
as the city was built of stone or adobe,
the Americans broke through the walls
from one house to another, fighting
and driving out the enemy as they
proceeded. Thus it appears, says an
exchange, the battle of Monterey was
largely fought indoors.
In the time of William the Silent,
when the Netherlands were fighting
the SpaniarGs, a number of Spanish
vessels became frozen in on the Zuider
Zee. Out came the Dutch on horse
back on the ice to attack tle Span
iards. This is probably the only battle
of record where cavalry was employed
directly against a naval force.
There have been battles fought un-
foreground. Choicest of these was the
fierce encounter pertaining to the siege
OF Harlem in the Dutch wars. The
Spaniards mined and the Dutch coun-
termined with equal industry and be-
low the ground a terrific conflict en-
sued. When, after the commune, the
Versailles troops took Paris, they
chased certain of the communist
forces to the great sewers Of the CAPT
tai, and in these more than one san
culinary battle occurred.

WAGNER'S FONDNESS FOR PET
Great Musicians Devotion to His Dog
Said to Have Been Remarkable
In Its Intensity.

Richard Wsgner's fondness for his
faithful dog Pops is we'll known. At
the time when almost all the musical
world had turned against him he
would sometimes, in his walks with
the dog, declaim aloud against his
foes. Then the dog would rush back
ward and forward, barking and snap
ping, as If helping his master to de-
feat his enemies. When Wagner re-
turned home from an excursion to
some other city Pops would always
receive a present as we'll as the other
members of the family. Pops re-
ceived them joyfully," he writes to
friend after one of these excursions.
When the time came for the little life
to be ended Wagner scarcely left the
dying dogs side. He even put of two
days an important journey because of
Pops illness and death. He writes
afterward to his friend Praeger: HE
died in my arms on the night Of the
ninth, passing away without sound,
quietly and peacefully. On the NOR
row we buried him In the garden be-
side the house. cried much, and
since then I have felt bitter pain and
sorrow for the dear friend of the past
thirteen years."

Facts of Evolution.

From the evidence of it's fossils. it
seems clear that before the continent
Of Africa took its final shape, ii was
more or less directly connected with
the now distant continent of South
America. But that is another story.
1t is a fact, however. to be borne in
mind in the present connection, since
1t serves to remind us Of the vast
measure of time which has gone to
the making of the world as we know
It today. These fossils show us that
what is now a burning desert was
once a steaming forest, and, before
this, was the hunting ground Of
sharks! The days of arsinoitherium
date somewhere about the middle Of
these tremendous happenings.

Washington, Aug 28.-Two import

would eliminate that source of discord

as proof that the situation was on the

had been urging upon Berlin ever

cannot the company deal openly and
frankly with the men in its employ,
that they may know what they have
to depend upon? Why not take them
into its confidence and deal with them
on business principles? When the
price of lead is up pay them in pro-
portion-not with the surprise of an
infnitesimal bonus, but by a moving
scale of wages that rise and fall with
the price of its productions, with a
liked minimum wage that will insure
them a living for themselves and
families.
Such a policy would gain the con-
fidence and trust of all employees and
strikes and unsettled conditions at

The petitioners and their claims are:
The St Louis Union Trust Company,
$512, 233.33; Mississippi Valley Trust
Company, $3.50, 99999; Jefferson Bank,
st. Louis, $29, 458.33; Farmers and

Lead Belt Bank, S8,466.66; Luois
Houck, $166,614.95. Interest on these
claims is figured at 5 per cent for two
years.
Action was brought by these petit
TONERS when receivers for the Frisco
regulated the sale of the Houck lines
to the railroad under the plea that
the transfer had not been ratified by
the stockholders and that the con-
tract, therefore, was void.
Judge Sanborn, in his opinion, held
that the contract was valid and bind
ing agreement and stopped the Fris-
co from denying the execution Of the
contract on the grounds alleged. As
a result Of the validity of the contract
he held the bondholders of the Houck
lines had valid and just claim against
the Frisco.
