Twelve Indictments.

The grand jury has gotten through
with a lot of business in very short
time. The nature of some of the
matters considered by it was such
that number of witnesses had to be
examined by them. Twelve indict-
ments were returned, but no one will
be arraigned on any of them before
Monday.
OF course, none OF the names are
known positively, nor would it be
proper for the members of the grand
jury or court officers to give them out.
However, when the arrangements are
made, we believe that the list will in
iclude the names of Louis Walz and
VIM. Powers for selling liquor with
out licenses at Amboy; the McGraw
boys for assault in the second degree
upon Marshal Ide, of Madison Lake;
James Mullen, for assault in the Sec
ond degree upon Mr., Kramer at Madi-
son Lake; John Jansen and Joseph
Sigrang, for grand larceny in the sec
ond degree; and possibly Geo. Cava-
naugh, for selling mortgaged prop
erty. How near our forecast comes
will probably be ascertained next

HUST BE LICENSED.
City Attorney Pfau UphoIds the Dog
Ordinance.

Hitherto the licensing of dogs has
been required on May 1st, but ques-
tion arose this spring in the mind of
the mayor as to the legality of the Or
dinance. The matter was referred to
City Attorney Pau some time ago,
and after considerable thought on the
subject, that official decides that in
his opinion the ordinance is valid, and
that all dogs running at large must be
licensed. This will be good news to
all those who have been wondering
why the usual thinning out of the dog
population has not taken place this
spring.
The former council repealed an or
dinance granting $3.50 for the killing
and burying of each dog and this took
away the interest of the police to a
large extent, so that the dog ordinance
has been practically dead letter. On
Saturday night the present council re-
stored the ordinance, making the sum
allowed for the killing and burying of
dog one dollar.
Now that the ordinance has been up
held and the police are allowed COM
penSation for enforcing it, it would
seem that there is no longer any reas-
on for not enforcing the ordinance and
complying with the wishes of the peo-
pie.
There are too many dogs in Manka-
to by far, and those owners who have
valuable dogs should now call On City
Recorder Smith and take out licenses,
for the pounds yawning for unlicensed
CANNES.
Let the dog catcher get in his work.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you must take
internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is regular
prescription. 1t is composed of the
best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing catarrh. Send for testi-

A NARROW ESCAPE.

Burt Pau and @. ]. Laurisch drove
to Madison Lake few days ago, and
when they got to beaver dam they
drove into the lake to water the horse.
The horse and three wheels of the
buggy got into the quick sand, and it
was only with the utmost difficulty
that they were dragged out. Had not
one wheel caught, probably the whole
thing would have gone down. Another
man had a similar experience a week
before, and danger signal may now
be placed there.
