Lee. 1 Miss Lillie MORE THAN INSTINCT. It Looked Very Much as if This Dog Undaerstood and Reasoned. Christian Advocate: Mr. Harold Doll- ner, a native of Denmark, and for many yoars consul general of Denmark in this city, d a portion of the time un(inr 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 Brooglyn in a mansion of the old style situated on ‘Washington avenue in the midst of what, a city, are large grounds. He al- ways took a great interest in his flowers, trees and \'l'Ed*t:lhh!s, and the heart of the city raised the very finest kinds of pump- kins. He also kept two or three dogs— one & house dog, another of the spani variety, and the third a powerful mas- 'i‘lm mastitt was always chained near the stable and not far from the rear entrance to the premises. In a certain autumn the pumpkins which were produced in Mr. Dollner’s garden were of such extraordinary size and beauty, that they excited the cupidity of a person,who stole two of the largest of them and took them to the horticultural exhibition, where he entered tiiem as his own, and actually took the premium for them, This so raised Mr. Dollner’s in- dignation that he instructed huis gardener to take off 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, so that if anybody else came in at night to steal th® pumpkins the dog would attack him. Pursuant to this order the gardener worked all the afternoon taking oftf the finest of the pumpkin which he carried up one by one, piling them near the cellar door, until he had finished, when he conveyed them into the cellar. About sunset he unchained the mastiff. This dog had watched the performance of the gardener, and during the night he gnawed off the fargest 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 greav delight the animal wagged his tail, looked up for approba tion, and went away. The next night he nawed off everything from the size of a hazel 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 h ways been friendly with him, entered, the mastiff sprang upon him with the utmost rage. Mr. Dollnger was living when we wrote the above. it was then sent to him with the ml‘uest that he would certify to its truth 1f 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, 18864 —J certify that theaccount given 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 oberation 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. Ago - 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 distinguished-looking ~gentloman, ex- tremelx‘dignilmgi and handsome.

Mrs, Scott of that place is your gister, is she not?"” “Yes, sir.” “Ah, yes, I am very well acquainted with her. She requested me to call and do a little errand for her.” Oh, yes; won't you step in, Mr. Har- court?"! *Thank you, [ believe I will. Very fine weather we're having."” “‘Yes, sir, Take the easy chair.” “Thank you; pray don’t put yourself to 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 it It is cnlleg ‘Daniel 1n the Lion's Den,’ and is by the Rev. Thomas R.

It treats of Daniel in ten stages; when he started 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 therr = 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 ke would not consent to an autopsy, when the lions got out and Daniel got out embellished with numerous cuts, plans, maps and beautiful steel engravings, comes at $1 a part or $12 for entire work, put your name down here and pay as you receive each part, eleven mparts now ready-—here is a fountain pen, write under Mr. Brown's name at the bottom ho page.’ Ir. Harcourt,” said Mrs. Dollinger, rising and suppressing her tears, *you're a mean, deceitful book agent. Get out of my house!"’ ‘I know, but {uu sign—"" “Go on, or [ shall scream." “Certainly, certainly, if you insist; no offence. But can you tell me the name of the lady next door, and where some of ber family live? Ah, you won't eh? D'l work another scheme, then.

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 th election ina short speech. The committee on exhibits was not repared to report and the same was de- erred, one of the members, Mr. Goshelle saying it would be ready in time for pub- lication in the record of the proceedings. Mr. H.T. Clark in the name of the committe on entertainment announced that, in the afternoon the visitors would be expected to take part in a ride to the Stock Yards and Fort Omaba. The committee on examination of the state board of pl f reporte through svnm(:\ryl ubach. 1t showed how the commiti¢e had met and what they had done. They had received 1,280 applications and examined twenty new applicants for membership, but had not vassed 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 s any other applicant. N. A. Kuhn, of Omaha, was appointed chairman of the delegation to the con- vention of tie National Retuil Dealers’ sociation. The committee on delinquent members was not lrru pared 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 gradunates of col- leges of pharmacy which required four years of practical 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 opposed and others favored the motion, while others still thought it would be a 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 as 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 recogmze ce titicates from other state pharm: boards, without examination of the ap- plicants, A vote of thanks was extended to the press, the wholesale and retail druggists, the exmbitors 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. Thanks were also ten- dered to the National Drugeist, In the afternoon the following stand- ing committees were appointed: On Pharmacy—Charles Frahm, of Hastings; A. L. Ross, of Sherwood; C. L.

Blowers, representing the Cali- fornia Fruit Growers' union, was in the city yesterday, having returned from the Chicago meeting of the traflic managers. A very important: reduction has been made on frait rates from California to the Missouri river, which will be of inter- est to all dealers in frfiits. Last year the minimum freight rate was 3280 per car or $1.40 per hundred, and $510 or er 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 padsenger trains. Last year it was necossary,to have at least fif- teen 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 cities and the con- sequent lowering of ‘prices and loss to shippers, the Unioh =~ proposes to ap- pomt 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 which would not stand shipment further east. 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 2} 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 proccedings Monday, declaring the house closed until the Ciair-Patee company 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 1n one of the acts, and Will Lan- don, the property man, would not aliow the baggage of the performers to be taken away until the baggage was paid for. Then ensued a general row. It was a4 Donnybrook all around. Come- dians were turned into tragedians, and a wor<e looking set of actors never came ff a stage than did those members of the Gilfoil& Bush party. A Soldier.

Bplendid Improvements Contem- piated—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 leed, which was filed for record yester- day afternoon, reads: Kliza W, Patrick and John N. H. Patrick to Nathan D. Allen and 8. L. Underwood. ‘Lhe area sold covers 615 acres, and tho considera- tion 18 $615,000. The sum of §215,000 was paid down and the balance, $400,000, se- cured bya four year mortgage. Mr. Patrick reserves his house andsixty 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 city 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 filopuiu% 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 cuucn-ruingl such a gentleman bemg at the hotel, It was subsequently learned that both gentlemen had gone to one newspaper oflice and given to that publication the detailed information of their projects. BAT AND WHEEL. The Omahas to Meet the Denvers in Three Games—Bicycling, The Omahas will return from Hastings to-day with a faded and considerably mussed laurel wreath. They have experi- enced three consecutive defeats at the hands of a club which has not heretofore been considered their match. The rea- son is not hard to find. The Omahas have but one pitcher. That one is O'Leary, He wasn’t with them, owing to to his damaged hand and wrist. The statement that the Omaha’s have but one vitcher is not made for the purpose of creating jealonsy 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 curve or a dozen curves, or can ‘‘shoot it” over the plate, is not necessarily a pitcher. Lo pitch requires brains as well as dexterity. The successful pitcher must discover and remember the weak- s batter in_every opposing the truescience of pitching. The Denvers arrived in_the city last evening and are at the Cozzens. They are a fine looking lot of men and have the cut of ball players. They will meet has here in three consecutive to-day, to-morrow and Sunday, ry will pitch u.-d::‘fv for the home wrist and hand having become able again. Iron Moulders' Statement. The publication in yesterday's BEE of the iron moulders'walk-out from the foun- dry of Usher & Russcil brought a commit- tee from the men to this oftico 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 cvery two mould- ors 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 man nearest the hy- drant was A white man named William Norton. Next to him was the Italian, named Antoine. The latter pushed Norton away from the hydrant. Vorton in turn pushed the Italian away. A second time the Italian pushed Norton, whereupon Norton struck him. Thé 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 officc 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 1talian, ‘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 clmm that they all ob- Jected to the “dagos” us thoy terin thom, eing worked at all in the foundrv as helpers, as they are not willing or com- petent. Lhus man Antoine is claimed to be a disagreeable fellow in particular, and it is stated that he had thr ned two or threo, times to cut men with a knife. Master Painters' Card to the Public. OyanA, 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 hangoers 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 between us and the paper hangers we have offered to leave to an_ impartial board of arbitra- tion. We claim that arbitration is the most sensible, reasonable and equitable method of settling differences, and we claim that in retusing to leave the niatter to arbitration, as the striking paint- ers and paper hangers have done. fess a doubt 18 to the justice ot pands and we request an intelli- gent community to withhold from them moral support in their present uncalled for and unjustitiable course. The sched- ule of prices demanded by paper hangers wouid, if acceded to, necessitate an ad- vance in the prices we have been charg- ing the last five years of 50 per cent on an averaze. We are satisfied with pres- ent prices, and at thoss prices we have been paying £4.50 per day. | dulgence and consideration you have shown us ib our present difliculty, we are Respectfully yours, g Henry Lehmann, .

Smith, of Callaway, Custer county, is in the city and has in his pos- session the 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 is 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- footed it was the sense of the people of Custer county that the county seat should be removed from Broke Bow to Sergeant, a new town m the northe: vortion of the county and on the line of the B. & M. road which 18 being constructed up the Middle Loup. The town site of Sergeant was for murr owned by Colonel E. P. Savage, now ol the Omaha stock yards. Colonel Savage has recently sold a half interest thercin to the Lincoln Town Site company, which is a B. & M. corporation. The petition will be considered by the Custer county commissioners, and if they regard it favorably an election will be held next fall+ The peoplo will then vote upon the propositions to divide and also to move the county seat. ‘There appears to be, as one factor of this movement, a desire to hit Broken Bow a slap. T'he people of all towns in Custer county outside of Broken Bow, ac- cording to Mr, Smith, feel that they are not accorded fair treatment in county matters by that place and that Broken Dow is inclined to “‘hog it" upon every opportuni To secure the success of the proposition to diviae, the resolved itself into a grand ¢ paign committee and will ma most prominent issue. convention A Good Year for Canal Boatmen, Rochester Union: The canal men are gotting ready for a great boom. The 8,900 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 busin took a big upward jump last year and will continue to climb this. A new feat in canalling is the rapidly accumulating number of steame! The steamer has been improved to such an_extent as to f:'enlly 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 gnt through from Buffalo to New York I avoiding the cum- brous tows and Jumg the work very cheaply.

Chicago Herald: A distinguished bella is & book agent, and she hasin ten or twelve days m herself singularly famous down town. Her method is o marvel of skill, aided by natural advan- tage. The latter consists of the ability to shed tears at will. T don't know how she t, but she does. At precisely the time and place for tears to be of valne they drop from her eyes and trickle down her choeks. Perhaps there is something the matter with her tear ducts, hut if there is, 1 doubt if she would care | hesitatingly and perhaps crossly, to be cured. She has been fooling the brokers especially. She enters an oflice quietly but tirmly, and, with no circum. locution, tells the boss that she wishes him to buy & book. He saysno, un. Then she turns on the tears. “What's the matter?" he asks. “Oh, nothing of any consequence,” she replies, making toward the door. But no sympathetically begs her to voice her griof, whereupon she tells that she has been unable to sell a book that day, that her poor old mother is deven dent upon her, and that she is downright discouraged.
