Hut it does look n little strange to us just at this time to sue so many dog boing killed by thu poison route Now wo'vo got it figured out about liko this. John is k pretty good schemer nnd ho knows that tho owner of every (leg, that goes to dog heavon with a tag on, is going to havo it in for thu present incumbent of tha innyoi's olllco. Wo think it would be n good idoa for War ren to to go round and put up tho prion of tho tags on these dead dogs. W aro soi ry that troubles of our own kept us f 10111 representing thu yullowhnin mors at tho swell society function on Wednesday night, but to bo truthful wo lacked thu necessary quarter. As a ated elsowhero in this issuo tho senior class of the high school will givo nn entertainment nt tho school house March 29th. How many of tho patents and othors intorasted in school matters pay attention to a not co like thi s. They real it over and that sottles it. Thoy don't appear to realizo that this is au endeavor on tho pint of a class of from eieht to lifteen to day tho ex penses of commencement ceremonies. Aud also that it is an endeavor 011 their part to givo tho general public thoir monev's worth instead of asking them I to dona'.o ton cents for nothing. Now wo aro not sure, but wo tnink this ontertainment is given solely for tho betelit of tho coinmenceiiientexercises If such is tho cuso wo inaku this propo sition to tho souior chits. Wo will print COO tickets for tho entertainment aud agreo not to ohitrgu ouu cunt for them unless four hundred of thetii aro sold at leu cents each. Wo make this proposition to just sio how many of our pcoplo are interested in tlio ad vancement of our public schools and how many havo a desire to assist the young people in thoir advancement Ten cents is not much, but in this case it is r.n opportunity fo or againsr helping our young people to graduate. Uow do you feel about it. If this proposition is accepted by tho class you can express your feelings to them. All we ask is that thoy report the num ber of tickets sold. We havo no fear but what tho required number will bo sold. If not we bare a lot of parints I and others in this town whom we will . concludo havo no use for schools. Wo hope the class will accept this proposi tion nnd wo will do our part to assist them.

Mayor Warran ha troubles of his own just now. Dou't bother him, Through iho .MHchina tions of somo people ho is losing several votes. Aud all on account of the dog tax. Somo pooplo appear to bo ot tho idea that paying a tav on a dog insui d him to his full valuation as designated by the owner. Others appear to think that n tax on dogs is proof that s.nJ dog will not die of bulloU, poison, old A dog tag is merely an indication Hint if your dog bites any membor of the city council ho can live. Othorwiso he will havo to accopt tho inevitable. Tho city counoil can insuro no dog that has not had its teeth extracted and its bmker pulled out. .')on't cuss thu mayor because a dog biles anyone besides thu council, Don't cuss boenme' you have to pay a dollar a year for a him dog and two dollars n year for ti hor dog to keop the mayor and water commissioner away from your premises during tho lawn season. That's cheap. Talking about cheap things a news paper is considered by somo to be the cheapest thing thoy can got. At loast they will tako il for sovoral years nnd novor think to pay for it. If that isu't chottp we don't know wtiat is. You got what j on want for nothing! and that is more than you can get at any other bininess house in this city.
