HOME AFTER A YEAR.
Funeral of Little Master Attracted
Long Lost Dog.

Waterloo, IA Scotch Collie dog
returned to his home at 600 Sum-
ner street after years absence, on
the morning of the funeral of his lit
tie master.
In August, year ago, the dog,
then a puppy, was brought from the
wilds of Wisconsin and given to
Leo Gunstad, son of l.. NJ. Gunstad.
Boy and dog soon became boon COM
panions, and were almost inseper-
able. On one or two occasions the
dog became lost or was stolen, but
returned and manifested his delight
at being with his little master. Last
February he disappeared again. Leo
hoped his pet would return. A few
days ago he became i'll and died on
Saturday.
Early Sunday whine and sharp
bark were heard at the kitchen door.
When a member of the family open
ed the door the long lost dog rushed
in, but too late to see his little friend
alive.
The dog was restless, evidently
seeking his little master A few
hours after the Homecoming OF the
Collie, Leo was buried

Man Swallowed Silver Dollar.

Sunday evening while visiting at a
Buck Greek home Chris Tiedt swal-
lowed silver dollar. Endeavoring
to balance it on his nose, the coin
slipped and went down his throat He
was brought to Sumner for az
examination and was hurried to Iowa
City Sunday night where an effort
will be made to remove the change.
A coin as large as a dollar lodged
somewhere in the esophagus is rather
a serious matter and it is to be sim
cerely hoped that its removal will
be accomplished without any serious
results for Mr.. Tiedt. But in spite
of its serious aspects, one cannot help
but remark that the young man will
be obliged to cough up consider
able more than the dollar before he
is through and that the interest on
the dollar will be high for the short
time 1t has rested in such safe
repository. Gazette.

Two Car Loads Skunk Hides.

The humble but odoriferous skunk
has come into it's own. 1t used to be
chicken killer and was accused of
various and sundry other crimes, but
now it is protected by law during the
breeding season because it's fur has
become very valuable, some choice
pelts selling for as much as $25. The
other day forming part of fast
train on the Chicago & Northwestern
railway were two freight cars loaded
to capacity with skunk hides from a
skunk farm near Pocatello, Idaho,
and Walla Walla, Washington. Ken
meth Simms of Walla Walla, accom-
panied the shipment and stated that
his car load would net him about
$4,000. He has 500 acres in his
skunk ranch and raises several
thousand animals every year. The to-
tai earnings from his ranch are net
ting him about $4,000 a year and
his running expenses are about So
900 to $4,000 year. Skunk furs
have quadrupled in price during the
last two years.

school are men who failed to pass
the second examination at court
last January and the third examin.

Children soon Completed.

If the present fair weather no dS
a few days longer, the examination
of Grant county's school children.
numbering more than 1900 will
have been completed by the Red

small one. when one considers the
great amount Of work involved.
The nurse must make physical ex.
animation Of the. child's condition,
teeth, nose, eyes. ears and general
appearances, which must be tahu
lated and followed up later. She
also starts the work and interest in

sary and refuse to cooperate with

County Commissioners MeetInq

The regular quarterly meeting OF
the county officials was he'd four
days last week. A special meeting
was held Thur sday at which time
the commissioners met with the tax
assessors Of the county. A meet
ing is called for the 4th of May at
which time bids for three bridges
will be opened and contracts let.
The most important work ac.
comp.ished during this session was
the acceptance Of the resignation
of Mr.. Hedman and the appoint
ment of Mr. julius Fenner to fill
the unexpired term Of the retiring
county register. Mr.. Hedman S
resignation is due to the fact that
he discovered that he was not a
citizen of the United States and
Immediately resigndd. He has
filed application for examination at
the July term of court. In the
meantime he will move to his farm
near Stockholm and make his home
for the future. Mr.. Fenner is a
we'll known citizen of Milbank and
the county and his appointment bv
the commissioners is accepted with
satisfaction.
A carload of steel culverts was
contracted for, which will be used
throug hout the county in the road
and bridge building work which is
to be done this summer. Practical
ly $89 600 will be spent in the work
this summer in addition TO the
funds collected and available from
the auto tax money which will
amount to practically $4,000. This
will be spent in road repair and
mainta;nance, grading. crowning
and dragging Of the roads. The
Booster Association will urge that
the commissioners let the contract
to men who will spend their entire
time upon the roads. dragging and
filling them. the county to be chart
cred out in sections and a man
placed in charge of each. BY this
system the roads will receive the
care when they need it, and not
when the time is available to spend
upon It. 1t has been tried out sue.

The work of paving Main street
was again resumed after being
stopped last fall by the sudden cold
weather. The concrete which was
poured last fall. about two square
rods, has been torn out and will be
relaid when paving starts. The
street has been dragged and will be
rolled and when the danger Of
freezing is entirely past the work
Of pouring the cement will start.
The actual time required for the
paving of the four blocks and inter-
sections, will require about ten
days or two weeks. Additional
paving has been let to the company.
when the business men petitioned
that second avenue be paved for
one and one half blocks one block
west and one half block east from
Main street. The work of putting
in the curbs and catch basins and
grading the street started the first
part Of this week.
The Booster association has sug-
getsed that q holiday be proclaim
ed upon the completion of the paw
ing just before it is opened for use.
A celebration, program and enter
tainment with q. pavement dance ia

suggestion has met with approval
and plans will undoubtedly be
worked out.
