For a few days there is a great bluster , and people hklo their dogs , when it Is all over , and there is the same old howl , yelp and bark as before. The western part ol the city is cursed with an army of worthless dogs that make Hfo miserable and the nicrh1 , hideous by their noise. Sick people can't rest for the racket that Is kept up. The city could either put $1,1)00 ) in the treasury or rid the city of the nuisance. Not ono cur in fifty has a collar on , hence no tax lias been paid. Now if one has to pay a dog tax , all should bo compelled to do It. Sotno men keep from four to six dogs.

It 1ms often boon observed that in the eastern cities women sent out on night details are compelled to go unattended , while hero in San Francisco , says the Californlan , If a woman is sent out Lilt all on a detail that involves the least exposure to the rough element she is provided with an escort. Indeed , in San Francisco and other western cities , women are not often assigned to other night work than that of dramatic and society reporting , or lecture unu associa tion reporting. Few women arc employed on the daily press in San Francisco. The Cull has one woman on its utalT ; the Chronicle employes ono woman , but it is an Innova tion ; the Examiner employs two and sometimes thrco women ; the Post , the Bulletin and the Report have i no women on the regular staff ; the NO\VH Letter employs ono , Iho Wasp three , the Argus ono and the West End ono. The press of the west is uniformly courteous to women workers and their olTortH in the right direction. With its support the newspaper women of the Pacific slope have broudor possibilities and opportunities than any other similar association in the country , for the reason that the west is young nnd its condition formative , ami the progress they are making is Indicative that they tire taking every advantage ; of their bituulion. A ( jucrr llor nnliit ) . J. II. Frank of Ligonior , Pa. , has in his possession a queer horseshoe which he found on the banks of thu Loyal- : Canhannu creek. There are three holes for nails on each eldo of the shoo , tno metal having been extended outward to re ceive the holes. The bottom of the shoo is hollowed out from end to end , the hollow being threo- quiirtors of an inch wide und half an inch deep. In the hollow lies u three-quarter-Inch rope , which wits put In place before the metal was cold and hold there by u few tuns with the hummer on the soft iron. The rope U now UB hard as bo 'lie ' : , and was apparently dipped in wax to harden it. The object Bfoins to have been to afford a biiro foot ing for the horse on the stony mountain roads , or to make his footstep noiseless , a desirable quality in the days when In dians were numerous.

RULES TO GOVERN THE RIDERS Description of the Track nnil tlio Tor in * on Which i Sllco Slay Ho Hi l-rir t Co in p , rirntScrveil Information for L.nml Hunter * . The borders of the Cherokee strip which is to bo opened to entry and set tlement at noon , September 10 , are Hanked with land hunters preparing for the rush. It is believed the stampede will surpass that of Oklahoma , as the largo number of unemployed will swell the ranks of the professional land mm- The strip is 200 miles long and fifty- six miles wide and embraces 8,1-14W2 ( ncrcs. It lies between the With and 100th parallels of west longitude , with the Southern border line of Kansas as its northern boundary aud the Creole coun try and the territory of Oklahoma us Its southern. It will bo seen that it sepa rates the major portion of Oklahoma from the strip formerly known as "No Man's Land , " but now part of Oklahoma. Topographically it Is a rolling country , broken here and there by hills and up lands and interspersed with smiling val leys and Eden like bottoms. It is plou- toously watered , and the water combos are skirted with line timber , oak , wal nut , cedar , ash , beech aud hickory. The soil of the bottom lands and prai ries is soft and loamy , black us ink and of marvelous fertility. The undulating pruirioa uro covered with a thick growth of llowory vegetation , mule of tim ber and brush. Both the bottom lands and prairies offer ideal conditions tor the practically unlimited production of corn , wheat , tobacco , cotton and pota toes. Upon the ridges and divides tlio land is not so well adapted to agricul ture , but as the forest growth is slight they furnish splendid pastures for sheep and cattle , being profusely clothed with succulent "bunch grass. " Owing to this self-cured "bunch grass" and to the mildness of the eliimUo and the abundance of water , the hillv regions nro claimed by old sheep growers to af ford the bi&t sheep country in the world. KvtriiitUo S.ilt .Uiiralirs. In the northwestern oart of the strip are extensive salt marshes , und to the cast of thorn is the great s > alt plain , on the Salt fork of the Arkansas rivor.com- prising thousands of acres. In some tracts the salt is found on tlio surface of the ground and along the edges of the streams. There are also vast fields of salt beautifully erystallzed , which greet the eve of the traveler a long distance before ho roaches thorn. It would ap pear that there is suit enough to supply the whole country , and it can bo had merely for the handling. Hitherto it has been extensively used on the neigh boring cattle ranches und 1ms boon hauled to towns in southern Kansas and sold. All the Indians of the territory have had free access to it for their sup plies. In wet weather and high water there is little or no bolt to bo been , but after three or four dry days it appears again on tno surfaceas before described , from six to twelve inches thick. On September 27 , 1719.Lioutonunt Du Tisne , from the French garrison at Kaskaskia , i'-alsod the French Hag on these salt plains and look possession in the name of the king. Ho was the first white settler to enter the strip from the east , as Dionisio had been from the west. IlullrouilB unit Streams. The strip is already traversed by four lines of railroad , with several other lines just a little ou'.sido. Two of the strip lines uro branches of the Atchispii , Topeka & Santa Fo , ono running obliquely through the western end in a south westerly direction and the other running southward from Kansas through the Chilocco Indian Industrial School reservation into Oklahoma at the east ern side. A third , the Chicago , Kansas & Nebraska , runs southward through the center of the strip , and the fourth , the Kanbas & Arkansas Valley road , cuts through the northwestern corner. In the western portion , along the line of thq Atchison , Topeka & Santa Po railroad , tire the settlements of Warren , Alva , Noel , Euglo Chief , Wuynoka , Nimrod , Button , GrilMii , Warwick , Woodward , Orluml , Norris , Gage , Stockton und Goodwin. Iu the eastern side , on the other branch of the same road , are the stations of Ponca and Ma"iioliii , besides a number of settle ments on what wore formerly the reser vations of the Tonkawas , Kansas , Pawnee and Osage Indians. On tlio northern border , upon a reservation of 8,040 acres , is the Chilocco school. By the terms of the law opening the strip it will bo continued in operation and the ruborvation made permanent. In tlio western part of the Htrip is the establishment known ns Camp Supply Military reservation. Besides the Big Citnarron river In the west nnd the Arkansas in the east , there uro these creeks : Beaver , Buffalo , Wolf , Sand , Sleeping Boar , Skeleton , Mul berry , Indian , Traders , Turkey , Bull Bear , Ewers , S cull and Eagle Cniof , all in the western portion and tributaries to the Cimarron , and in the middle and eastern portions , feeding the Arkansas river , are the Rook , Mule , Medicine Ledge , Sandy Clay , Hound Pond , Ked Kock , Black Buur , Bluff , Turkey , Buck , Hominy , Pond , Birch , Hickory , Coon , Bird and Camp crooks and the Sliukusku , and Cunoy rivers.

How It Will no Settled. By the terms of that act no person is permitted to occupy or enter upon the land except In the manner prescribed by the president's proclamation opening it to settlement , and any person otherwise occupying or entering upon it forfeits all right of acquisition in the future. All intruders already on the ground are re quired to bo removed as trespassers , but provision is made that such as occupied houses and had barns , fences , crops or other improvements prior to August 11 , 1880 , should , before their removal , bo in demnified by the Cherokee nation for their improvements upon an appraise ment of their value by a board of three experts especially appointed for that of fice by the president of the United States. Such improvements thereupon become the property of the Cherokee nation. The amount paid for thorn must not exceed $250,000 in all , and the ap praisers iiHletorinining the value of the improvements may consider the value of the occupation of the land. The Cliurolcco Allotment * . Citizens of the Cherokee nation wno , prior to November 1 , 1891 , had made permanent and valuable improvements upon any portion of the strip for farming purposes have had the right to select one-eighth of a section of land each , in conformity with the government nur voys , upon the sites of their improve ments , and their wives and children have boon at liberty to make bimilar selections of lands improved by their husbands and fathers , though each ono so taking allotments must forfeit $112 from his or her per capita share of the purchase money received by the natio'n for the strip. ' The number of such allot ments Is restricted to Bovonty , not to exceed in the aggregate 5,000 acres , and the sum of $1.40 per acre is to bo deducted - ducted from the full amount duo the Cherokee nation. The&o allotments to the number of seventy as permitted have now been selected , and permission has boon given to the owners or.TJmlnmntH to file proof and argument in1 inolr support at the Interior department/ / until September 1 next.

Some idea of the enormous proportions the business of hotel-keeping has as sumed in this country , says a writer in the North Amocican Review , may bo gained from the fact that there are in the United states upwards of thirty thousand hotels , exclusive of what may bo termed inns and taverns and what are commonly known as apartment houses , although the latter nro in many nstanco conducted as hotels , in that ] hey have a common kitchen and dining- oom. During the past two years there lave boon opened in the City of Now York four now hotels , the aggregate est of which including furniture vas upwards of $10,000,000. They ire veritable palaces , both in archi tectural design and interior splendor , and jrot they may bo said to bo only in scoping with a largo number of hotels with : which our citizen * have for years joon familiar. In proof of this , and as a lotublo fact , it may bo mentioned that n the muniiiipal tax levy for the cur- oiit your the highest valuation put upon any building , but one , in the whole city of Now York , is placed upon a hotel hat has enjoyed a world-wide fame for more than thirty years , and another curious fact is. that tlio two hotels bear" ng the highest assessed valuations ate ; wo of the oldest in the city , thus illus trating the high character maintained b t > y the hotels of Now York for many rcnorations. The Hlniul-Spotteil "Mlko" Apples. Tlio so-culled "Mlko" apples of east ern Connecticut have a queer history , so it is related. Micah Rood was a oiico thrifty farmer in old Norwich town. His habits suddenly changed , anil ho became idle , restless and intemperate. Ho nog- looted his work and shunned his neigh bors. Some thought the change duo to witchcraft , others to Insanity. When the apple trees blossomed In the spring , on one tree the flow ers hud turned from white to rrod. The neighbors wondered much.and especially as Rood was drawn to this tiee by a re sistless facination. When the yellow applet ripened in the full , ouch ono was found to contain a red globule which was known afterwards as the "drop of blood. " The people remembered that a foreign peddler had passed through the village in the previous fall and had stopped over night at Rood's ' house , and the story grow that ho had killed him for his money and buried the body under this tree. Search revealed nothing concern ing the peddler , but the people.said the evidence of Rood's guilt was summed up in his disturbed spirit and the blood- mottled apples. Micah Rood lost all interest in hUfurm , became a dopundent on tlio town , and died in 1717. But so long as the blood-spotted apples grow they will be known as the "Mike" upplos and will perpetuate the story of his life. Stiiiullnu- > | > fur HI * Itlelit * .
