larger sum, but taking all the circumstances
into consideration he would fix the damages
at 81, 600 and require the Victoria to pay the
costs Of the court.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
It's excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in soc and 81 bottles, but it is man.

that it cost the tax payers $40 more
than it was necessary to impose upon
them to carry out such spleen, to say
nothing of the Injustice done Sievers
q Anderson by the discrimination.
1t so happened, however, that Mr..
Larkin had also figured with Mr..
Nolk on the stone work, but the
stipulation did not appear in Volk &
Cos. bid. 1t seems though that
some of the members of the board
afterward found out that Mr.. Larkin
was interested in Volk & Co.'S bid, for
they sought to bring pressure to
bear on the firm to give the stone
work to ex-Mayor William McCono-
chic. Whether they succeeded or not
remains to be seen.
Unjust Discrimination.
The discrimination is equally un-
Just to Mr.. Larkin and to Sievers q
Anderson. The former, notwith-
standing that should in no way
enter into the matter, has always
been a patron of the public schools
and a friend of them in every way in
his power, and there can be no pos
sible excuse for the action and feel
ing toward him. Sievers q Ander-
son are among our most successful
and reputable business firms and feel
the slight greatly, and it is not i'm
probable may seek legal redress.
The position of the board is under
stood to be, that having reserved the
right to reject any and all bids, the
best course lay in giving the contract
to the firm better able to carry the
work on, regardless of any delay
in making payments that the board
might be forced to meet in conse-
quence of the condition of the money
market.
The public feeling in the matter is
occasioned entirely by the representa-
tion that Sievers & Anderson have not
been treated fairly, and is not, OF
course in any sense due to the fact that
Nolk & Co. received the contract.

The New Building Contract.

The board instructed the president
and secretary to close the contract
with John Nolk Il Co., for the new
No. 1 building without delay. in ac-
cordancr with the action of the pre-
vi0us meeting as heretofore noted.
The contract price aS agreed to is
$40, 800, and the disclosure of the
fact that Sievers Il Anderson under
bid the successful contractors by
$40 has occasioned considerable
comment during the past week, and
the board has been severely criti-
cized for its action, and not a few
have made the accusation that delib-
crate unfairness was shown in furth-
ance Of disposition to get a slap at
a Roman Catholic.
There were five contracting firms

MAD DOG MISCHIEF.
Five Persons Bitten by One This Morning
Finally Shot.

From now on for several weeks
Will beaa bad time for dogs, and those
who own CANNES would do well to
look after them. Not only is the dog
killer on the track of the checkless
canine. but it is the season when hv-
drophobia makes its appearance. To
day witnessed the first mad dog of uhe
season and he made wonderful
record for starter. The first no.
ticed OF the dog was shortly before 6
O'Clock this morning when he
came out to the vegeta BILE wagon of
Herman Spitznaus, who was on his
way down the Twentienth street hill.
Mr. SpitZnaus did not pay any at
tention to the dog, until he discov-
cred that the brute was attempting
to get into the wagon, and he then
noticed that he was frothing at the
mouth. He whipped up his team
and got away from the dog at Ninth
avenue, and no more was heard OF
the mad canine until a little later.
when he ran down the alley between
Third and Fourth avenues to
Schaab's store ut Fourth avenue and
Sixteenth street. where Philip
Dingeldein was unloading some
vegetables. The dog jumped
al Mr.. Dingeldein and caught
his right hand. lacerating it fear
fully. The mad brute then ran away
from Mr.. Dingeldein. but on his way
met and bit George Hitler and w.
Bleuer, neither of them seriously.
however.
Maucker On the Trail.
Here it was that Officer Maucker
got on his trail, and out to Seventh
avenue went the dog with the officer
following. AT the corner of Four

dog met Daniel Wilkins. of 1909 Sew

tearing piece from the little finger.
just at this moment p. Warner, resid-
ing at 1928 Tenth avenue came along
and the dog made spring at him,
catching him in the calf of the right
leg and tearing the flesh frightfullv.
The dog then made off down toward
Twelfth street, where he was over
taken by Officer Maucker and shot.
but not before the officer himself had
quite little experience in keeping
out of the way. None of the bites
are considered very dangerous,
though all will require good care.

variety, belonged to, but is is sup

noticed that Sievers Il Anderson sub
