To Exterminate Dogs.

IT seems quite a coincidence that
both Wilmington's and Smyrna's town
council should bring up the matter of
killing dogs on the same meeting night.
Both councils think the matter should
be considered and action taken for the
determination of the same. Notices
have been posted in our town, giving
owners of dogs fair warning to have
their dogs muzzled and those neglected
will be shot by Policeman Grant when
found running in our streets. In the
shooting of dogs, Mayor Shortlidge, of
Wilmington, thinks it is cruel. He
recommended to the council that they
be killed with carbonic acid as in Phila-
delphia, and he appointed committee
to take action toward same.
In Philadelphia dogs are extermi.
mated by means of earbonic acid. The
exterminator is IL feet long, 4 feet
wide and feet inches high. The
gas is generated by burning charcoal in
a small stove. The dogs do not seem
to suffer at all. They are put in the
exterminator one at time aud only a
minute is required to kill a dog. II
seemed to him very human and mex.
pensive way of getting rid of dogs
The exterminatOr is cemented and per,
fectly alright. The stove is egg shape
and inexpensive. Last year more thar
1000 dogs were killed in Philadelphia
and the charcoal bill was only abou
$50. For persons the gas is harmless:
but persons should be careful not tC
inhale too much of it.

AS,svere Cyclone.
A PATH OF DESTRUCTION LEFT
THROUGH THREE FARMS.


A cyclone in this vicinity is some
thing of an unusual occurrence, yet the
time you least expect such things are
the very times they come.
On Wednesday last while John r.
Wilson was out to his farm, FIVE miles
from town, looking over his crops, he
heard roaring sound about the dis
tance of two miles, like that of rail-
road train. Not taking much notice of
it at first it began to get nearer and
louder, until one of his men looking
over toward the southwest saw dark
looking cloud, jumping and squirming
in a zig-zag direction, coming straight
for them. Mr.. Wilson saw at once it
was a cyclone and cautioned his men
Immediately to seek refuge. They ran
directly and found shelter in the barn,
while he, fearful of going into a house
ran direct for the peach orchard. 1t
was only a moment and all was over,
Mr.. Wilson escaping by about 10 or Is
| feet. The cyclone tore up everything
in its path. The wagon shed and
poultry-hoUse were picked up like lit
tie toys and carried distance of 20 or
80 feet burying the gable end of the
poultry house feet in the ground. IL
made a swoop through his pear orchard
taking every tree in its wake and leav-
ing the place as clear as if it had been
swept by broom. Wheat was picked
up like sheaves and whirled in the
tempestuous winds. Fences, rails &c.
were merely nothing. Fortunately it
did not strike the house, which just
escaped it by 10 feet. 1t came on this
side of both house and barn yard.
The cylOne, says Mr.. Wilson, was a
fearful object-a whirling mass of wind
filed with missiles. He thought it to
be 35 or 40 feet in width. 1t originated
he thinks somewhere near Blanco. Ii
came from the southwest and turning
went directly north as far as Reese's
woods, plOughing through the farms OF
w. NJ. Bell, Dave Jones, Dave Spru
ance and his own farm. At Reese'S
woods it raised itself in the air and was
soon lost sight. The only damage il
done on the other farms, besides tear
ing fences down, was in the whea
fields, were it left clear wake.
Mr.. Wilson and his men were pretty

prise as it did they hardly new wher'

it would have swept them all int

loss to be about 5000.
A rather funny coincidence was re
lated after the storm had passed con

The Christian Endeavor Social

The social committee of the Christian
Endeavor Society arranged a very
pleasant affair at the home of Mrs. Jos.
H. Wright Friday evening of which a
large attendance was present. About
the time that most were collecting a
shower came up and for awhile rained
in torrents, those on the street took
shelter under the first porch they came
to and remained until it slackened.
The party on entering were at once
made to feel at home and the social
committee had arranged a program to
suit the taste of most every member in
the way of social pastimes. These So
cial features might be named-crokinole,
jenkins, bean bag &C., &c. At a sea-
sOnable hour the guests we're invited

Our Town Council-What They
are Doing.

Meeting called to order by President,
with full Board present.
Almost the first thing after opening, the
Town Council heard the complaint of Ja-
cob Leinberger. He said that all the water
and refuse matter which was carried down
Main and Commerce streets, settled on his
land, OverfOwing it, in rainy spells like the
one just passed, several acres. He spoke of
how ruinous it was to his crops, and what a
great source of vexation and loss it was to
him. He was not citizen to be always
complaining about every little thing that
comes along, but he did think this was a
Just cause of complaint when he had spent
time and money in preparing his land, and
then have all this damaging water to con-
tend with. He appealed to the Board en-
phatically, to have an outlet made for this
sewage. The matter was referred to the
Board to act upon later.
The appeal handed in at last meeting to
have an electric light placed in front OF the
Presbyterian Church, was brought up ana
discussed by VIM. FAIRIES. On motion the
petition was laid on the table, as no reason
could be adduced why it was necessary
Carried a.
The Secretary was authorized by the
Board to draw orders for the payment OF
the election officers who managed the last
election.
The matter of enlarging the lookup was
brought up next, H. ID. Boyer submitting
a nlan of the committee by which two ad-
ditiOnal cells could be built and such inn
nrovements necessary could be made at an
annroximate cost of 500. As to heating
these cells when made, there was raised
some discussion, VIM. FAIRIES thinking q
plausible plan would be to move the heater
from its present position and connect il
with the chimney in the rear OF the Alder
mans office. This would give plenty o
heat TO the cells when needed, besides al.
/ low suffioient for the office. This would
move the register over to the other side o.
the Opera House, which, too, is warmed
by the same heater.
On motion, the committee on Hall wal
| instructed to investigate and decide upon
plan and ask bids for building of same, ,anC
