Old Lame JOhnn IS Dead.

Old "Lame john" the bull dog
for years so familiar about the Mo-
line avenue car barns, is no more.
He fell victim last night to the
cruel wheels about which he had
moved all his life. Lame john
was the property of Surt. Robert
Hill, was born in a street car barn in
Davenport IL years ago while Mr..
Hill was employed there as barn
boss, and came with his owner to
this city about eight years ago. He
had become lame and partially blind
through age, yet he managed to keep
at his masters heels as far as per-
mitted to. Last night Supt. Hill
boarded q car on Moline avenue.
Lame John" attempted to follow
and in some way get under the
wheels. which passed over his body.
killing him instantly. All the car
men were attached to the dog and
the mOtorman on the car wept when
he heard of his fate, stating that he
would rather have lost $50 than to
have run over him. Lame John
was buried this morning near the car
house on Moline avenue.

inspector of stock, yesterday submitted
his yearly report to the board of super
vsors concerning the condition Of stock

The total number OF inspections made

CHAMBERS or faroy, or both. OF the lat
ter number, 66 horses and mules we're
destroyed. The balance of inspections
were among cattle and hogs. Only one
COW affected with lumpy jaw and IL
with tuberculosis or consumption were
found. There has been no outbreak Of
anthrax since the fall of 1898.
In the month OF September of this
year the state board of health at Strong
City quarantinsd three train loads Of
cattle from Catalina island and belong
ing to Vail & Gates, claiming that the
animals had Tsxns fever. 1t WAS found
that the cattle were entirely free of the
disease. Only three cases of hog cholera
out of q great number of inspections
were discovered. The inspector advo.
Gates the enforcement of the strict SAM

DUPUY COMMENDED.
Conservative Frenchmen Say He Was a
WIS. Leader.


PARIS, Jan. 15.-The newspapers, with
out exception, are of the opinion that a
solution of the ministerial crisis will be
long and difficult matter. The monarch
lists organs assert that the republic is pass
ing through a period of difficulty which
may assume grave proportions and even
involve the Elysee.
The moderate republican press pays
unanimous tribute to the correctness and
clearness of the attitude of ex-Premier
Dupuy, who has fallen, it is asserted,
only because he was determined to safely
guard constitutional privileges. Many
persons blame NJ. Barthou, ex-minister
of public works, for not havi ng shown the
same reserve as NJ. Dupuy. The consen-
sus of opinion is that the only possible So
luton of the difficulty is republican con-
centration under NJ. BourR eois.
