rEscE LEGISLATION.
A BIn which Makes 1t crImInaito Build
an "UnIawful Fence.v

A bill for 'an act concerning fences and
enclosures" has been introduced in the
council by one of the members OF that
body, who. no doubt, desires to have good
and wholesome laws enacted and probably
would not desire to be a party to the pass
age of oppressive laws, yet, nevertheless,
this bill provides for Just that kind of leg
%islation. The bill provides as to what
shall constitute lawful fences in Wyoming,
alter which the following two most re-
markable sections appear in the bill:
Section 6. Every person being the
owner Of, or being the lessee of, any lands
who shall build or construct, or cause to
be built or constructed, any unlawful
fence in this territory, shall be guilty ofa
misdemcanor, and upon conviction be
fined in a sum of not less than $40 nor
more than 800, or imprisoned in the
county Jail for a period of not less than
five days nor more than thirty days, or
both, in the discretion of the court.
Section I. Every person who shall have
been convicted Of having caused to be
built or constructed any unlawful fence
after the passage OF this act, shall, within
thirty days after the date of his or her
conviction, cause such unlawful fence to
be reconstructed into what is in this act
defined to be a lawful fence, and upon his
or her failure so to do, within the time
hereinbefore specified, shall be guilty of u
misdemeanor, and upon conviction pay a
fine OF not less than 81, nor more than So,
for each and every day he or she shall
fail to comply with the PROVISIONS of this
act.
Every state and territory provides by
legislature as to what shall be a lawful
fence, and if under those laws the owners
of lands and enclosures do not build such
fences they cannot recover damages
committed by animals encroaching upon
them unless they are breeding animals.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
From Miss MARY ~. Sanders. Of Thu
City, who Is IN New England.

1liNs w no IN III NEW I4tEiunus
The following extracts from a letter
written from Salem, Mass. will be of gen.
eral interest:
As | look around me it is difficult to
realize that this was ever a frontier
town, and hat its birth dates back more
than two centuries. There is much to see
here of historic interest, and have been
improving my opportunities. Perhaps a
sort of diary of the weeks proceedings
may be the most interesting way in which
| can write this letter.
Monday-In company with Uncle Hor-
ace visited the court house to see ONE old
papers; most OF them relate to the Salem
witeherait. Among other things | was
shown papers dating back to 1896, also
the old seal of Essex county, 1857. Next
visited the East India Marine Soeiety's
museum, the most wonderful institution
of the kind in the country. Here sea
captains have for years brought treasures
from foreign lands and seas. Take, for
instance, India, one can get quite a good
idea of the people; figures representing
the different trades ana occupations dressed
in native costume, miniature houses, with
all their appointments Inc musical IN
struments and implements of war are well
worth close study.
Tuesday-In the morning attended the
graduation exercises OF the state Normal
school-some twenty-iour young ladies' IN
the class. o'oO persons have at
tended this school l,46l having gradu-
atedi 229 IN at tins time.
Wednesday, isited the Essex institn-
ton, IN which Is room hlled with an
tiquities. Here spied an old painting OF
Governor Endleott; a sun dial owned by
the same man sewing done by uoVernoI

of great interest to me. Within an old

undeniable fact that though from $4,000
to $4,000 are spent annually in supposed
betterments and improvements, the streets
are being made poorer each year instead
of better. The remedy is simple. An
amendment to the charter should be
made providing for the appointment by
the mayor, subject to the approval of the
Common Council, of commissioner who
shall have the supervision of streets in
all the wards. Then there would be a
system which could be carried out
through the entire city. | assume that
proper and competent man would be
selected for the position, and that his
plan of operations would be entirely
different from that which has prevailed
for 10 these many years.

EASTER DAY.

Last Sunday, Easter Day, was not as
bright, cheerful and genial as the few
previous days bad given promise, the
sky being overcast and gloom pervading
all day, with an occasional shower The
services, however, in the various churches
commemorative OF a risen Savior, were
well attended The feature Of the days
observances at St. PauPs Episcopal
church was the Knights Templar service
at $3.50 P NJ, attended by Olivet Com
mandery, Rev. Com. ]. b. Finn, oficiat-
ing. The choral portion OF the service
was rendered by the full supplied boy
choir, Thomas Robinson precentor and
Mrs H. H. Gallup and Miss Mary Baum
organists. The floral decorations in the
church were very beautiful, and appro-
pirate to the great event kept in memory,
the Gala and rose being conspicuous in
natures display in chancel and window,
forming an effect both instructive and
pleasing.

REDWOOD.

T. F. Scion resumed operations at his

Monday. He has two teams on the road
every day collecting cream and Will
doubtless put on others before the season
is over. Another enterprise which Mr..
Scion has entered into this season is the
distribution of cream account books, free
to his patrons, in which can be kept a
correct daily account of the cream sold,
as we'll as correct account, separate, OF
the earnings of each COW. 1t is one OF
the best books of the kind we have as
yet seen.
Some of the enterprising base ball
players of Redwood are making quite an
effort to organize Dodge county base
ball league, and we trust they will sue
coed. The object is sport and pleasure,
and Dodge county should not be behind
on this occasion.

A PERTINENT QUERY

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-Do you think
it is the correct thing for the Common
Council to vote 500, each to the Third,
Fifth, Sixth and Seventh wards, for street
improvements, when said wards fail to
comply with the law as regards the COL
lection of poll tax? The dimensions of
the steal are growing larger, ] see. The
appropriation originally made was $75,
but now the needs seem to be greater, or
the cheek of the aldermen has become
more adamantine. and the city treasury
is tapped for larger amount. The ap
preparation is clearly illegal, but we are
so used to this kind of thing in city affairs
that no one would object particularly if
the money was used where it would do
the most good. Let these wards first
collect their poll tax, as the other wards
do, and then if they lack means, with
what the tax levy brings them for street
purposes, it is in order to pass around the
hat, or at least it would look better than
it does now. SECOND WARD.

past year:

Very nearly all this money was used
in building and repairing sidewalks
and and improving (?) streets. Now
I undertake 20 say that the money
might about as we'll have been
throw away, SO far as any practical
benefit to the streets was concerned. No
one will deny that there was never time
in the history of the city when the streets
were in the horrible condition they have
been this spring. The system in vogue
is all wrong AS rule the path
masters appointed don't know anything
about their business. They are not Sc
lected on account OF their fitness, but
because they are favorites of the alderman
in their wards, and they consider it their
bounden duty to cut and slash, and pillow
and dig without any definite idea as to
the effect. Very often, may say nine
times out Of ten, the streets are made
worse instead of better. Take the First
ward for instance. The time was when
Second, Fourth and Clyman streets were
the best in the city for driving purposes.
What has been their condition this spring?
Ifthere are worse thoroughfares anywhere
to be found, would be glad to have
them pointed out. Not many years ago,
under the direction ofan alderman whose
official term has happily expired, they
were botched up, made the receptacle
of the soil from cellars, and other unfit
materials, and they have been going on
from bad to worse until this season they
have been next to impossible. The his
! tory of these streets has been duplicated
in each Of the otner wards, ana it is an

Jefferson county will be entitled to six
