Upon such action Of tho people, tho shoriff to

bis pals had stuffed him, has several timea
alleged that 1t was through tho influence Of

pointed by tho Town Board. This charge Is
false. Tho fact is, tho editor Of The Ta1nuaE

II the Ei,tor of Ths Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO. April 24.-Chicago must be full ot
dog.fhncorB, for dogs Of a!l degrees seem to
| abound horo as they do nowhere else, oxcept II
may bo III Conetantinoplo aud other Oriental
cities, wbcro they perform tho useful part oi
| ecayeugors. The Ohloago ours, however, dis
| dain such humble though useful occupation, ant
aim at higher game, viz: the logs Of by-passeEs
on tho stroos. IN coftain parts OF tue city there
| seams to be mongtel cur or two In front O
nearty every house, not TOW OF which ar
ready OH all occasionh to uHe their teeth I
| thay get tue CHANCE. Then ownora nppafentl.
do NOT think it worth tholr while to teach thoa
pectod that they would, for they do not talto tA
| trouble Of teaching even good behavior to Their
boys. Tho result Is that both dogs md boys att
genorntl, speaking nuisances very much need
Ing abatement.
In regard to tho dogs, allow mo to sugRes
that. as tho warm weather Ia Ut hand. u ia non
too soon fo. tho police to begin. poisoning thos
found 1t largo unuuzzled. Il is great pit
that dog-tax could nat bo imposed. 1t wou
be the n4eanB either Of raising large tovenn
for tho city, it properly collected. or Of grcatl
dinainishing tho dog nuisance. IL fact, 1t woul
10 certain e1tent operate In both ways. Goo
OF usefu! hnma1s would be paid for-such az ar
no nuisances; tho othss sort would DO deetroyee
