FROZEN PGINTINh QUAEh.
Dog Found Dead Holding Perfect
Pos.

Joe Vending. OF ThOrne Lake, Is
mourning the loss OF a valuable
pointer dog on the peak OF FoSte:
Butte. The body Of the dog has just
been found. frozen stiff in the rigid
pointing stand it had made on a
bevy of mountain quail. The head
and tail OF the dog were stretched
out on a level with the back, and the
left foreleg was lifted and Lent az
Tile elbow. 1t vas the pose O. :. per-
feet stand, and instead of falling
over in the snow the dogs body had
toppled against a hawthorne brush.
where it stood erect until found.
No snow Tell on Foster Butte from
the time the dog froze 10 death and
the day the body was found. and
stretching in front of the concealed
canine were tracks OF big Devy o:
quail. The birds apparently had hud-
died in a hawthorne thicket just in
front of the pointer. then flushed
and flew to some other part Of the
mountain after the dog died.
Mr.. Vending went to Foster Butte
three weeks ago to round up his
range colts and take them to shelter
after the temperature had dropped
to 20 below zero. Dan. the pointer.
accompanied his master into the
hills. MIR. Vending set his pet down

to the mountains to make a search.
The temperature remained below
zero for more than two weeks. and
there has been no thawing weather
at the mountain tops since Mr.. Wend-
ling rounded up his horses. Other
range men found the frozen dog and
brought the body 10 Silver Lake for
exhibit.
Dan was known throughout Lake
county because of his feats in hold
ing POINTS for long periods. Mr..
Vending says the dog frequently
stood rigid on bevy of quail. grouse
or sage hens for two hours. The
owner believes there is no doubt Dan
froze to death waiting for some one
to flush the quarry.

SlayOnic Names.

AS the newspaper reader is likely
TO be in conflict with Polish and Rus
sian names for some time to come 1t
may be we'll for him to take such aid
as may be rendered in the attempts
that he may make to achieve their
pronunciation. A British lingulst
gives some information concerning
the word "Przemysl." He says that
"Zhemeesl'' is the practical method
of expressing it's sound, and if the
speaker cares to put the shadow OF
the echo of a dream OF letter p be-
fore it he will then be as nearly cor
rect as it is humanity possible to get.
The syllable ''mysl,' says this author
ity. is both Polish and Russian for
thought" or craft in the sense
of 'handicraft' and prze" is anala-
gous to the prefix pre-" as anciently
the place was city for the trades or
handicrafts. English speaking peo-
pie have a conception of the wv" as
vowel, which does not exist among
the Slavonic races. Where we say
Cracow or Krakow, the. proper pro-
nunciation is Krakuff The Russian,
where we set w. as a concluding
letter, has it as a double or sin
gle or double f. There are many
difficult names which become easy
when it is realized that a. equals
"" or 81" and "w'' equals "v'' or
If, ;" and "prz' equals approximate
ly "zh. .''-Indianapolis News.

All yesterday DR.. Louria was busy
answering tho telephone, which SYM
pathetic friends have been using to
convey their coincidence to the faml-
ly. On the street he shocked many
by his perfectly healthy appearance.
So exasperated and exhausted was
the doctor last night that he asked
the papers to deny the death ru-
NOR.
Il can't understand this situa-
ton" said the doctor to a reporter
last night. Il was feeling poorly
several weeks ago and went to At

Daniels Makes Announcement Con
terning German Ships.

Norfolk, Va, May 1.-Secretary OF
the Navy Daniels, after conference
here today with Rear Admiral Beat

yard, announced that the interned
German converted cruisers Prinz
Eitel Friedrich and kronprinz Will
helm would be held at the navy yard
at Portsmouth, Va, until the end
of the European war.
Navy department officials had been
considering the moving of the cruis-
ers to New York or some other At

thought there were facilities for ac-
comodating the vessels here without
hindering the work at the yard.
The Wilhelm is still at Newport

AIKEN COUNTY MADE DRY.
Dispensaries are Closed.

Columbia. May Because one
member of the Aiken county dispen-
sary board has been enjoined, and
the other two members are at logger
heads, Governor Manning this morn
ing ordered all dispensaries in Aiken
county closed. The governor took
this action because he considered it
for the best interest of the taxpayers
and in view of the excitement. and
because under existing conditions any
question relating to the dispensary
cannot be satisfactorily adjusted.
The Aiken county dispensary board
is composed of w. T. Hite, H. P.
Dyches. and NJ. B. Smith, the latter
being hold-over, Mr.. Smith has been
enjoined in the courts and Mr.. Hite
and Mr.. Dyches are at loggerheads,
and any question which might arise
concerning the dispensary is conse-
quently incapable Of being satisfac-
torily adjusted. Because of this sit
uation and the other reasons given
Governor Manning ordered the dis
pensaries closed. He sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Sheriff H. H.
Howard, of Aiken county:
BY authority vested in me by Sec
ton $50. code Of 1912. volume ;,
hereby order all Aiken county dis
pensaries closed until further orders.
Please see that this order is imme-
diately carried out.

This is probably not so embarass-
ing to the "pilloried' members as the
clever political chemists of the sur-
frage committee thought. To many
of them it is not embarrassing at all.
But there is a somewhat different as
pect to the ingenious individual COM
parison these warlike women folks
proceed to make of the votes of con-
gressmen on the child labor biN,
which passed the house at the last
session by a majority of 233 to 43,
but failed to come to a vote in the
senate.
Taking a fling at Senator Over
man. of North Carolina. who, by rea-
son OF the crowded condition of the
calendar during the closing days of
the session. was able to enforce his
objection TO the child labor bill. the
suffrage statement explains that the
vote on this measure in the house is
''interesting TO suffra gists because al!

ExTRAvAGANoE OF CITIES.

The average American municipality
cannot find much comfort in the state
|ments Of William NJ. Bennett in the
current issue Of the Strand magazine
. for he there states that New York City
+ is hopeIessly bankrupt and badly in
tine need of 81 receiver. According
to Mir. Benefits statements The city
/. has q gross funded debt Of one billion
three hundred million dollars and an
annual budget of TWO hundred millions.
Bg way Of comparison he shows that
the debt OF the German empire before
the war began was not as large as the
funded debt OF New York City and
several other countries were consider
ably further removed from the red ink
than our largest American CITY
But this is not the whole picture for
the writer shows that there is a por-
ton Of the Cjty's revenue derived from
dock leases, water rents. licenses. etc..
which are gradually decreasing and
while the assessed valuation of the
property iB the city is high and com
meusurate with boom times it, is not
warranted under present business con
ditions. With a shrinkaEe in both
sources of revenue tha inevitable end
which he forecasts is a receivership for
the city ia much the same manner as
courts have taken judicial care of rail
roads and other large corporations
which require operation pending some
readjustmeut of financial affairs.
The remedy which he suggests is the
same old battle cry heard in every cttv
from Maine TO Califoruia-econ0mv.
Trimming the pay roll twenty-five per
cent is his estimate of what could be
done without at all impairne The eff
fciency Of the various departments
and the consolidation Of several boards
and commissions into one is also adj

RELIEF IN BELGIUM

The report of the commission for re-
lief ia Belgium shows the movement
TO be the greatest Of its kind In the
history Of the world. The commission
has collected and distributed $50 000.-
600 Of which $l5.GQ0.0 geo has been in
the form of money and food contribu-
ted by the people Of the United States
and the British empire and Belgium
itself
The report shows one encouraEing
feature and that is the efforts of the
Belgians to help themselves. 1t is
stated that over 90 per cent OF the
money expended by the commission Is
being furnished by BelRiaus abroad. 1t
is found that only something over
$4,000. 600 in food. clothes and money
have come from the United States.
though American charity came on the
scene early and promptly and at the
very inception OF the movement when
&c was vital to its success. It is fur
ther shown that the need OF this sup
port is increasing and that the mum
her OF destitute is growing at the rate
.of 200 000 q month The worlds great
est war has csIled for the greatest de-
aand ever made upon charity and the
response has borne testimony 10 the
sentiment of brotherhood still active
in the human race.
