''Rabbit-hounds are scarce, and con-
Scquentiy very expensive" said a
Broome street dog-dealer. There

Come here. Stencil. you're wanted
Stencil came slowly out of 4 corner.
He was 4 tri-colorcd d~og--black and
white. and the white specked out with
yellow dots. His nose was LONG and
his tail was thick. Outside of a dog
fancicr's establishment it would have
been easy TO classify him. Here. however.
he was not a cur. but 4 rabbit hound.
"He has one great advantage over
most dogs of his kind" said the
dealer. He is full of pluck. He will
! not allow a stranger To touch me. Just
put your hand on my shoulder and see
what he will do"
The reporters hand was placed as
directed, and the dog looked on and
blinked his eyes in an uninterested
manner.

Would you mind pointing your toe at
him.
The toe was pointed and the rabbit
hound retrcated hastily.
''He thinks l am only joking" said
the dealer. Have YOU any objection
to 70 over and kick him? That will
rouse him up. He is a great dog when
he nee gets fairly started"
The reporter approached the hound
to Spurn him, but the animal fed.

owner. alphabetically: '.but l would

The bone. which had been extracted

and the hound seized il and retired with

What do YOU think of that now?'
asked the dealer a~dmiringly.
The reporter acknowledged that it
was well and boldly done; but as he had
seen curs of low degree perform similar
fea.s he declined to pay fifteen dollars
for the rabbit-hound.
There are better rabbit-houndS than

FRUIT SHIPPING

- ne proposition OF the fruit-groWers to
form a corporate association, may be
questioned as not so good as that to estab-
hsh State central agency to promote the
interest of fruit shipping associations. A
stock association would be unwieldly I'M
der the cumbrous machinery required by
the law, and would very likely be soon
controlled by few vigorous spirits, who
would possess themselves of the stock. But
central agency, based upon mutually
of interest, and dependent for its existence
upon its demonstrated usefulness to grow
ers, would be more likely to live, and to
exercise more potent influence upon the
Eastern middle-men, whom the fruit
growers so much fear Out of the timber
IN the Horticultural Association there
ought to be enough available to immedi-
ateiy set up the central agency, to which
local unions of growers can ship for East
ern forwarding, and which would also be
represented at the Fast for receipt and
distribution of the goods 1t appears from
the debates in the Horticultural Society,
however, that corporate union is. favored
by most of the growers, as necessity of
safety But We fear that its legal require
'ments viii be found to be hindrances. 1t
viii be better if nnion of effort and interest
can be accomplished by other methods,
under which the control of the organiza-
tions cannot pass into the hands of the few.
Ii the corporate organization is formed,
there should be taken measures to prevent
the absorption of the stock by the richer
frult-growers, and the transfer of it to
those not actually engaged in growing
fruit and shipping it, and to secure in the
membershipall growers in the State, how
ever small their business.

The Railroad Taxes.


Controller Dunn is not only a great light
of the Democracy of the Stockton pattern,
but he is also the great Mogul of the pres
ent State administration. His definition
of the word Controller is peculiarly his
own. According to his dictionary it means
the boss of State affairs. But while posing
as q great reformer and anti-monopolisf.
the people OF this State will scarcely forget
that this individual is responsible for keep
ing about S450,000 out of the State Treasury
money which the legal advisor of the
State and of Mr.. Dunn I'VE don't mean
Delnas) says the State is entitled to from
the railroad, not as a compromise but as so
much on account, pending a settlement of
the railroad tax question in the Courts
Acknowledgement Marshall SAYS that the
State is entitled to the money; whether So
or not, 1t is not the province of the Con-
troller to determine, and we believe that
the people will 50 regard it, The farce
has gone far enough. Mr. Dunn's obstinacy
is not injuring the railroad, while it is
working serious injury to the people.
Modesto Herald.l
Controller Dunn is indefatigable in his
endeayors to occupy the chair of State He
started out to be Governor when he first
took his place as Controller, and has not
turned back one step. He is trying to
make record as an obstructionist in the
name of anti-monopoly, and so ironclad
is he IN his endeavors to work up Il boom
on the Stockton Convention principle that
he forgets that a majority of the people.be-
longing to his party have repudiated that
side-show. They are only few of the
bosses left to do honor 10 it, and they are
held by the urgency of lawyer Delmas
who can well afford to fight for couple of
years for a Tee of $4,000. Dunn's last let.

| brain of Delmas, and everyone who knows
the man is aware of this fact. When the
Supreme Court of the United States de-
clded that the rights of tie State were pro-
| tected by the stipulation between the At
torney-General and the railroad company,
opposition 20 receiving the partial payment
ceased with all who were not demagogues.
The irony of this whole business is dis
covered in the language of the Attorney
General, when he says that Dunn's Pegas-
sus (Deimas), on whom he expects to ride
into the Governors office is sorely affected
with the Shorts" in this little matter.
fNapa Reporter.l
He 1.-The Controlled says there is no law
authorizing the payment of taxes Ion
account" No one has ever claimed there
was, but ii is claimed that there is no law
which prohibits the Controller from accent
ing partial payment of taxes, when such
action will not jeepardize the States claim
to any balance that may be due, in cases
like this, where the taxes have been de-
clared by the lower Court to be illegally
assessed, a consent judgment entered for
the portion now offered, and an appeal
made to the higher tribunal for the dis
puted amount: We are
still of the opinion that he would do a
wise business act were he to accept that
tax money con account" and trust to the
United States Supreme Court for the bal
ance.

first heat and distancing Sypbon in the
fourth heat. Syphon won the second and
third heats. Time, 2:321-2:3il -2:S2f-

her face mashed in as if by some dull in

unconscious. The Coroner has started for
the scene. Church and his wife lived hap
