It Looked Very Much as If This Dog Understood and Reasoned. Christian Advocate: Mr. Harold Doll- ner, a native of Denmark, and for many yoars consul general of Denmark in this city, and a portion of the time nclinlz minister of that kingdom, and well known to business men as the head of the firm of Dollner, Potter & Co., of New York, for many years resided in Brooklyn in a mansion of the old style situated on Washington avenue in the midst of what, for a city, are large grounds. He al- ways took a great interest in his flowers trees and vegetables, and the heart of the city raised the very finest kinds of pump- kins. He also kept two or three dogs— one a house dog, another of the spani w\ru'li'. and the third a powerful mas- titf. The mastitt was always chained near the stable and not far from the rear entrance to the premise: In a certain autumn the pumpking which were produced in Mr. Dollner’s garden were of such extraordinary size and beauty, that they excited the cupidity of aperson,wlho stole two of the largest of them and took them to the horticultural exhibition, where he entered them as his own, and actually took the premium for them, This so raised Mr. Dollner’s in- dignation that he instructed his gardener to take oft' the largest of those which re- mained and deposit them in the cellar, lest they also should be stolen. At the same time he told him to set the mastiff loose, 80 that if angbody else came in at night to steal th8 pumpkins the dog would attack him. Pursuant to this order the gardener worked all the afternoon taking oft the finest of the pumpkins, which he earried up one by one, piling them near the cellar door, until he had finished, when he conveyed them into the cellg About sunset he unchained the m; 3 This dog had watched the performance of the gardener, and during the night he gnawed off the largest of the remaining pumkins and carried them one by one to the cellar door, where he piled them up and stood guard over them until the next morning, when, as the cook arose and opened the kitchen door, with an ex- pression of gremu delight the animal wagged his tail, looked up for approba- tion, and went away. The next night he fina\vc(l off everything from the size of a azel nut upward and carried them to the cellar door as before. A few days afterward, when the person suspected of having stolen the pumpkins, who had al- ways boen friendly with him, eutered, the mastiff sprang upon him with the utmost rage. Mr, Dolinger was living when we wrote the above. 1t was then sent to _him with the request that he would certify to its truth?l he could, or alter it till he could conscientiously attest it. A few weeks before his death was received our last communication from him: 20 WASHINGTON AVENUK, BROOKLYN, July 12, 1884 — certify that theaccountgiven by Dr. Buckley of my pumpkins and my dog is true in every particular. HAROLD DOLLNER. It is plain that the mastiff had never seen such a operation before. He there- fore must have comprehended it by an effort of the mind, held it through the entire night, worked upon 1t, contem- plated it as a complete act, and surren- dered the pumpkins to the family when they arose. Yet, of course, he failed to comprehend the reason, or to distinguish the value of the ripe from the green pumpkins. He also obviously connected the man who had in his sight stolen the pumpkins, with the deed. At the time this was told the writer, there were six witnesses living—the gar- dener, two seryants in the house, and the owner of the establishment, his wife, and their son. ————— MRS. DOLLINGER'S CALLER. Another Shrewd Scheme of the Mean, Deceitful Book Agent. Dakota Bell: Mrs. Dollinger, a Sioux Falls lady, who lives on Twelfth street, heard a rap at the front door the other afternoon and responded to find a very disunguis ooking gentleman, ex- tremnl{idngnmefi and handsome. Ah! Mrs. Dollinger, I believe,” he said. *‘Yes, sir.” “My name is Harcourt, Ilive at Hu- ron. Mrs. Scott of that place is your sister, is she not?"* ““Yes, sir.” ‘Ah, yes, I am very well acquainted with her. She requesied me to call and do a little errand for her.” Oh, yes; won't you step in, Mr. Har- court? i “Thank you, I believe I will. Very fine weather we're having.' *‘Yes, sir, Take the easy chair.” “Thank you; pray don’t put yourself o any trouble on my account.” “Certainly not. Was my sister weli?" “Quite well. I am pleased to say. By the way, Mrs. Dollinger, I have a little work here which I would like to show, as I am sure you would be interested in 1t. It is ealled ‘Daniel in the Lion's Den,’ and is by the Rev. Thomas R. Deuter- onomy, and it comes in twelve parts, ex- quisitely bound in cloth, leather or extra Russia, 18 finely illustrated, and should be in every library, and I am taking hun- dreds of orders,as you can see fwx- amining this order book, and everybody Is wild over it, and all pronounce it the most wonderful book written since the Holy Scriptures. It treats of Daniel in ten stages; when he startod to go into the den, when he got « little further in,when he got clear in, when the lions came up to examine him, while they were making their gurvey, while they retired to consult together, when they decided a post-mortem would be necessary, when they announced the result to Daniel, when he convinced them that he would not consent to an autopsy, when the lions got out and Daniel got out embellished with numerous cuts, plans, maps and beautiful steel engravingy, comes at $1 a part or $1? forentire work, put your name down here and pay as you receive each purt, oleven parts now ready-—here is a fountain pen, write under Mr, Brown's name at the bottom of the page.’ ‘‘Mr. Harcourt,” said Mrs. Dollinger, rising and lu]))ircslhle her tears, “‘you're a mean, deceitful book agent. Get'out of my house!"” *I know, but just sign—" Go on, or [ shall seream.” **Certainly, certainly, if you insist; no offence. But can you tell me the name of the lady next door, and where some of her fawily live? Ah, you won't eht D'l work another scheme, then. Good day, Mrs. Pollinger, good day; glad to have made. your acquaintance,* L'y THE DRUGGISTS' LAST DAY. They Are Addressed By Gov. Thayer and Elect Officers. ENTERTAINED. They Leave Omaha With Expressions of Great Pleasure at Their Treat- ment—Ouster Uounty's Dissensions, HANDSOMELY The Pharmaceutical Assocatfon, ‘The election of officers then ensued and resulted as follows: president, M. E. Schultz, Beatrice; first vice president, C. H. Bruner. Fremont; second, W. B, Sheyrock, Louisville; third, P. C. Couri- gan, O'Neill: fourth, W. D. Haller, Blair; fifth, W. J. Hughes, Omaha; secretary, C. J. Daubach, Lincoln; local secretary, W. C. Lane. Lincoln; treasurer, James Forsyth, Omaha. Each of these gentlemen, with the ex- ception of Mr. Hughes of Omaha, re- turned thanks for their election ina short speech. The committee on exhibits was not repared to report and the same was de- erred, one of the members, Mr. Goshelie saying it would be ready in time for pub- lication in the record of the procecdings. Mr. H.'T. Clark in the name of t committe on entertainment announced that, in the afternoon the visitors would ) ceted to take part in a ride to the Stock Yards and Fort Omaba. The committee on examination of the e board of pharmacy, reported through Secretary Daubach. = 1t showed had met and w! they had done. They had received 1,280 applieations and examined twenty new applicants for membership, but had not passed upon the latter because of want of time. They had also decided to not respect a certificate from any other state, the idea being that such applicants ought to undergo examination the same as any ler applicant. . Kuhn, of Omaha, was appointed chairman of the delegation to the con- vention of tie National Retuill Dealers' association. ‘The committee on delinquent members was not vrcsare\l to report, and on mo- tion of Mr, Daubach, it was decided that the committee should be empowered to make whatever arrangements might to them seem advisable with the secretary with regard to delinquents. Mr. Kuhn moved that graduates of col- leges of pharm h required four years of pract experience before un- dergoing examination, be admitted to practice without again undergoing ex- amination in this state. ‘This motion brought out a lengthy dis- cussion, in which some oppo: and others favored the motion, while others still thought it would be matter of doubtful advisability, especially because of the wording of the law, which did not seem to encourage it. The sentiment of the meeting was in favor of respecting collegiate diplomas, such those mentioned, though the law opp it, and the matter was dis- posed of. It was decided to sustain the board of examiners in refusing to recognize cer- titicates from other state pharmac; boards, without examination of the ap- plicants, A vote of thanks was extended to the press, the wholesale and retail druggists, the exmibitors and all the hotels, for courtesies shown the delegates, Another vote was tendered Mr. N. A, Kuhn, D. W. Saxe for the manner in which they had done their work in connection with the convention.

Cotting, of Red Cloud. On Revision of the Constitution—James Riggs, of Omaha; C. J. Dauback, of Lincoln; James Reed, of Nebraska City. Executive Committee—G. B. Chapman, of Lincoln; G. W. Howe, Wisner; J. Adams, of Tekamah. On Legislation—C. F. Goodman, of Omaha; John 'I. Clarke, of Omaha; James Reed, of Nebraska City; C. T. Wonders, of Blue Springs; W, é Lane, Lincoln.

Governor Thayer appeared before the association by invitation, and being called upon made the following happy speech: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: I thought that I caught the words ffom a gen- tleman who went by me after I came in here, that Governor Thayer was going to addross vou. 1 reeret it, because I frankly admit to you that I have nothing to say, nor an speech to make to an association of this kind. 1do not feel that L am able, I do not feel myself competent to addfss you gentlemen in reference to tnat branch of medicine which embraces your profession—the profes- sicn of a pharmacist. But I will say that I am glad to respond to the call made upon me to express to you my hearty concurrence with the high purpose for which you sre now laboring. You are making efforts to elevate the standard of pharmacy, and you are entitled to the good will of the entire community. 1rejoice with zml for the noble work in which you are em- arked, In the work in which you are now laboring, vou are under the operation and _ control of _ the law. 1 believe—at least [ am informed by those who are supposed to be comvetent to judge and to inform me upon the subject— that you have secured a law, equal if not bet- ter in its beneits than any of those that were passed previous to your law, in any state in the union. And T was happy to be able to serve you, and very glad to have an opportu- nity as well as a most pleasant duty to per- forin, in witnessing my signature to that law (Loud applause. | ‘These bodies ot ours are weak, frail things.

They visited South Omahs and many of the more picturesque points in the city. The sentiment of the visitors, who began to depart last ovening, was that they had been most royally entertained in Omaha.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT UNIC A Proposition For a Combination and One Agent in Each Town. R. B. Blowers, representing the Cali- fornia Kruit Growers' union, was 1n the city yesterday, having returned from the Chicago meeting of the traflic managers. A very important. reduction has been made on fruit rates ;from California to the Missouri river, which will be of inter- est to all dealers in friuts. Last year the minimum freight r:\tf was 3280 per car or #1.40 per hundred, and $510 or $2.55 per hundred shipped by passenger trains. This season the rate will be $220 per car or $1.10 per hundred on freight, and $120 per car or $2.10 on patsenger trains. Last ar it was necossary,to have at least fif- cars in order to make up a special train: this season only ten are required, In order to avoid the overstocking of the market in the large ¢ and the con- sequent lowering of ‘prices and loss to shippers, the Unioh = proposes to ap- point one agent at, the different points who shall handle alf the fruits shipped by the Union. Omaha and Kansas City are the only points west of the Missouri river where agents will be appointed. There will be no agent in Denver, which has always been made the dumping ground for the inferior fruits waich would not stand shipment further cast. Itisclaimed that the Union will include in its mem- bership all the prominent fruit shivpers of California, and hence will be able to control the market, as it may see fit. The agent will deduct 10 per cent from his sales of fruits, of which 24 per cent will go to the Union, and the balance will be the agents’ remuneration. No agent as yet has been appointed for Omaha. COMEDY AND TRAGEDY. How the Curtain Was Rung Down At the People's Theatre. Gilfoil, Bush & Company played at the People's theatre last week and started to give Omaha a second week of variety. The management, however, cut short the proceedings Monday, declaring the house closed until the Clair-Patee ocompany appears on Monday next. Before the combination separated there was a war- like scene on the stage on which Messrs? Howard and Alton, two of the perform- ers, were badly used up. A gun was broken in one of the acts, and Wil Lan- don, the property man, would not allow the baggage of the performers to be taken away until the baggage was paid for. Then ensued a general row. It was a Donnybrook all around. Come- dians were turned into tragedians, and a worse looking set of actors never came fF o stage than did those members of the Gilfoil& Bush party. A Soldier. Thomas 0'Conuor, the veteran citizen and office holder in this community, has receivea nformation that his brother Luke, a distinguished officer in the scr- vice of England, has been retired with the rank of major general. Luke O'Con- nor was offured the governor gencralship of Canada at one time, but refused it, pre- ferring to be on active service. In speak- ing of him the London Times says: “'It is announced that the next Bath Gazette will include that gallant sol- dier, Luke O'Connor, who when sergeant at Alma, was one of the first recipients of the Victoria cross.

The Patrick Farm Purchased By Kansas City Gentlemen, OVER $600,000 PAID FOR IT. Splendid Improvements Contem- plated—The Denver-Omahas Game To-Day—Another Phase of the Foundry Strike. The Patrick Farm Sold. The celebrated Patrick farm, northwest of the city, was sold yesterday. The pur- chasers are kansas City gentlemen. The deed, which was filed for record yester- day afternoon, reads: Eliza W, Patrick and John N. H. Patrick to Nathan D. Allen and S. Underwood. ‘Lhe area sold covers 615 acres, and tho_ conside! tion 18 $615,000. The sum of 215,000 was paid down and the balance, $400,000, se- cured bya four year murl.‘;:\mu Mr. Patrick reserves his house and sixty acres of land, It is the intention of the purchasers to make the farm a splendid addition to the city, platting a large portion of it out and making five streets. A large num- ber of fine brick residences and neat wooden cottages will be at once erected, for sale and rent, The motor cable road, which is pro- jected, will run through the addition, und rapid transit to the business part of the eity will be furnished before the end of the year. An effort was made last evening to find the gentlemen who are tho purchasers of the property. One, at the Paxton, was out, and the other, although stopping at the Millard, was not registered, and had evidently given instructions to the man- agement to not be approached, as the clerk suavely told a reporter that he knew nothing concerning such a gentleman beg at the hotel, %t was subsequently learned that both gentlemen had gone to one newspaper oflice and given to that publication the detatled information of their projects, BAT AND WHEEL.

The statement that the Omaha’s have but one pitel not made for the purpose of creating jealousy of him on the vart of the other men who have pitched this sea- son, and it ought not to. = But it is the truth. A ball player who can throw a cu; or a dozen curves, or can ‘‘shoot it”’ over the plate, is not ne pitcher. ‘Lo pitch requires brains as dexterity. The successful must discover and remember the wes fevery batter in every opposing at is the true science of pitching. The Denvers arrived in _the city last evening and are at the Cozzens. '] are a fine looking lot of men and ha the cut of ball players. They will meet the Omahas here in three consecutive ay, to-morrow and Sunday. will pitch tu-d:&' for the home team, hi ist and hand having become serviceable again. Iron Moulders' Statement. The publication in yesterday’s BEE of the iron moultders'walk-out from the foun- dry of Usher & Russcil brought a commit- tee from the men to this oftice last even- ing. They give a different version of the causes of the strike than did Mr. Usher, who was anthority for yesterday’s publi- cation. They say that every two mould- ers have a helper. It is tho business of these helpers to carry water from the hy- drant to the sand which isused in mould- ing. As the demand for wateris greater, occasionally, than the supply, there will be three or more helpers at the hydrant atonce. On Wednesday morning this was the case and the wman nearest the hy- drant was A white man named William Norton. Nextto him was the Italian, named Antoine. The latter pushed Norton away from the hydrant. Norton in turn pushed the Italian away. A second time the Italian pushed Norton, whereupon Norton struck him. The Italian went into the oflice of the foundry and made complaint. Mr. Usher came out, and, without making inquiry as to the ‘merits of the case, discharged Norton. It was then that the moulders took their part in the squabble. They sent a committee to the office with a demand that Norton be reinstated and that the Italian be removed from the foundry and placed in the yard. Mr. Usher refused to accede to these demands, but dis- charged the ltalian, ‘The moulders were not satistied with this, and, as Norton was not reinstated, they struck. The latest information is that the strik- ing moulders are to be paid off on Satur- day night and that the founary will lay still for thirty days. The moulders clam that they all ob- ected to the ‘‘dagos’ as they term them, being worked at all in the foundryv as helpers, as they are not willing or com- petent. Llus man Antoine is claimed to be a disagreeable fellow in particular, and it is stated that he had threatened two or threo times to cut men with a knife. Master Painters’ Card to the Public. OMAnA, May 12, 1887.—We, the under- signed master painters of Omaha, confi- dent of the justice of the .position we have taken in relation to the trouble now existing between us and the painters and paper hangers now on a strike, respect- fully make the following statement of facts: 1. In regard tothe painters, we are willing to pay and haye been paying for good workmen all, and in some cases more, than they now demand, but this point with the question of nine hours and all the points of difference betwe and the paper hangers we have offe leave to an impartial board of arbitra- tion. We claim that arbitration is the most sensible, reasonable and equitable method of settling ditferences, and we claim that in refusing to leave the miatter to arbitration, as tne striking paint- ers and paper hangers have done. they confess a doubt as to the justice ot their demands and we request un intelli- gent community to withhold from moral support in their present unc: for and unjustiliable course, The sched- ule of prices demanded by paper hangers would, if acceded to, necessitate an ad- vance in the prices we have b ing the last five years of 50 per cei an averaze. We are satisfied with pres- ent prices, and at those prices we have been paying er hangers from %3 to £4.50 per day. Thanking you for the in- dulgence and consideration you have shown us in our present difliculty, we are Respectfully yours, Henry Lehmann, . F. Clark, T. J Beard & Bro., Beard & Otis, B. J. Evers, C.

Smith, of Callaway, Custer county, is in the city and has in his pos- | session tho petition of a large number of the residents of that extensive section of Nebraska, directed to the county com- missioners, for the division of the county into four parts, which shall be known respoctively as Custer county, Marion county, Parncll county, and Gladstone county. This petition the result of a convention which was held on Wednesday at Callaway. Twenty dele- gates, five from each of the four pro- posed new counties, were present, be- sides a large number of other eitizens. ‘The convention was harmonious. In addition to endorsing the petition above referred to, it adopted a resolution that, until the proposed division should be ef- fected it was the sense of the people of Custer county that the county seat should be removed from Broken Bow to Sergeant, a new town m the northeast portion of the ocounty and on the line of the 5. & M. road which 15 being constructed up the Middle Lmlrv ‘The town sito of Serzeant was formerly owned by Colonel E. P. Savage, now 0{ the Omaha stock yards. Coloncl Savage has recently sold a half interest therein to the Lincoln Town Site company, which is a B. & M. corporation, The petition will be considered by tho Custer county commissioners, and if they regard it favorably an election will be held next fall.* The people will then vote upon the l)ru;lmilions to divide and also to move the county seat. There appears to be, as ono factor of this movement, a desire to hit Broken Bow a slap. The people of all towns in Custer county outside of Broken Bow, ac- cording to Mr. Smuth, feel that they are not accorded fair treatment in county matters by that place and that Broken Bow is inclined to “*hog it” upon every opportunity. To secure the success of the proposition to diviae, the convention resolved itself into a grand central cam- prign committoe and will ke it the most prominent issue. A Good Year for Canal Boatmen, Rochester Union: The canal men are gotting ready for a great boom. The 00 boats in commission on state waters will be increased to 4,000 by the addition of 100 new ones built in Rochester, Whitehall, Oswego, Tonawanda, Buffalo and other ports. The season will open Saturday next, and about 14,000 men and boys are ready for a busy summer’s busi- ness. The inter-state commerce law is relied upon to help them, but business took a big upward jump_last year and will continue to climb this. Ancw feature in canalling is the rapidly accumulating number of steamers. The steamer has been improved to such an_extent as to vently imperil the mule. When the locks are enlarged, as they will be under a half million-dollar appropriation voted not long ago, a steamer pushing one boat and pulling two, or transporting nearly 40,000 bushels of grain, can be accommo- dated, and this little flotilla can run rignt through from Buffalo to New York without outside aid, avoiding the cum- ‘brous tows and doing the work very cheaply. it e, Hebrew Lac Sewing Society.

Chicago Herald: A distingunished bella is # book agent, and she hasin ten or twelve days made herself singularly famous down town. Her method is a marvel of skill, nided by natural advan- tage. Tne latter consists of the ability to shed tears at will. T don't know how she does it, but she does. At precisely the time and place for tears to be of val they drop from her eyes and tricl down her choeks. Perhaps there is something the matter with her tear ducts, hut if there is, 1 doubt if she would care to be cured. She has been fooling the brokers espocially. She enters an_ oflice quietly but firmly, and, with no circum. locution, tells the boss that she wishes him to buy a book. He saysno, un. hesitatingly and perhaps crossly, Then sho turns on the tears, “What's the matter?” he asks, “Oh, nothing of any consequence,' she I'tlrllc!. making toward the door. Jut_he sympathetically begs her to voice her grief, whereupon she tells that she has been unable to sell a book that day, that her poor old mother is depen dent upon her, and that she is downright discouraged. He purchases one or two books instantly.
