The. way to get acquainted with b.
dog, says Our Dumb Animals, is
this: "Put out your hand easily
and confidently to the dog, SO that
he may smell it. Put it to his nose.
If he shifts at it and wags his tail
or otherwise shows friendliness then
you may speak to him and pat him
on the head if you like, and perhaps
use other familiarities; but it, when
you offer. your hand, the dog re-
mains sullen and passive, the sooner
you take away your hand the bet
ter. Never approach a strange dog
with either timidity or menace; but,
us we have said, the best way is to
let all strange dogs alone, and get
any desired information about them
from those who have the honor OF
their personal friendship"

Miscellaneous News Items.

In the district court, which opened at
Dubuque, Judge Ney. in his charge to the
grand jury, said it was' the duty of that
body to indict any and all persons found
making cider or otherwise violating the pro-
hibitory law of the state, and also to prose-
cute any county officer or justice OF. the
peace who may have violated the law. The
liquor dealers and saloon keepers are as
founded at such o charge from the judge.
The Milwaukee brewers have for the past
few years advanced the license fees for such
saloonkcepers as were MOI able to do it
themselves. Fully one-third of the saloon
keepers were enabled IN this way to go into
the business. During the. past year q
number of licenses have been revoked
and the brewers have lost the money put up,
or part of it. At a meeting of the brewers
association held recently the matter was
discussed, and without any formal action
being taken it was agreedathat the brewing
companies should advance no more license
fees. 1t is believed that il this decision is
lived up to the number of saloons in Mil
waukee will be reduced 25 per cent. s.

Career Of Q Desperate.

Mat Zimmerman, the cowboy desperate
who was captured in Utah, recently, has,
been delivered to the Nebraska authorities,
and is now awaiting identification and the
execution of the death sentence. thinner
man is a young man. but his record lis O
startling one. Seven, years ago, when he
was but 10. he raided the ranches in Hitch
cock Co, Neb., m company With Courtney
Belmont, q young Mexican, and stole a big
band Of ponies. WithSthese they rode. off
toward the east, and were soon followed by
Sheriff Jack Woods and a motley posse Of
cowboys. Near the hamlet OF Minden, in
Kearney county, the stolen ponies were
found at pasture on tile prairie, and, while
and one deputy rode into town to look for
the thieves. $500 ~..zs -
They found them at supper in the Prairie
Home. Woods without much thought of
resistance went to the door of the dining
room, gun in hand, and sung out for the
desperadoes to surrender. Quick; as a flash,
Belmont, who had + his pistol laying on his
lap, mode a snap shot, and poor Woods fell
dead. Zimmerman, with an equally quick
shot, wounded the Deputy, and then both
rushed for the door. As they were leaving
the room they fired another volley, as il to
intimidate any onefrom following them, and
r. B. Kelly, q guest who was trying to get
HIS VIE SCOWeo away OUT OF DANGER, was
killed. On the porchthey met J ohm Collins, q
mail carrier, who had just driven up, and
deliberately shooting him down, they rode
off toward the Kansas line. - sr~s y III
There was a general turnout in pursuit,
and even the state militia was. ordered to
join in the hunt. Asweek later Belmont was
killed by q farmer named Fontz, at, whose
house the thieves had stopped. Zimmerman,
who seemed to be completely unnerved by
his partners death, was easily captured. He
was also taken back to Windem, tried, and
sentenced to death, but the supreme court
reversed the verdict on the ground that,
Sheriff Woods had no warrant, thinner
man and Belmont were justified in resisting
arrest. Ascend trial was had and again
conviction followed and the death SEN
tence was imposed, Again the 8su-
preme court reversed the findings. Back
Zimmermen went before the same
Judge, - tJaslin,, 9 /" " and "saE for > the
third time hewas found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged. The usual appeal to the su-
preme court was taken, and while it was
Zen ding the prisoners lawyer hit upon q
novel method Of securing his clients release.
He succeeded in convincing d United States
@commissionsr that he had the right. pending
the hearing, to admit Zimmerman to bail.
He fixed the bonds ,atg $4,000 straw bail
was furnished and Zimmerman slevanted.
This was four years ago. and nothing was
heard of Zimmerman until his rscapture In
Utah. Meantime his case has been decided
against him by the supreme court,sand the
chances Of his being hanged are verystropg,

An Ohio poultry raiser has made
q curious discovery. He says that
if you go out to feed a flock of chick
ems and will cause them to wait,
they will invariably, as they crowd
about you, begin a circuit around
you from right to left, in front, and
continue this revolution as long as
you stand there. No amount of in
terruption or maneuvering can con-
fuse them or compel them to take
the contrary direction at any time.
