TALE OF REMEMBRANCE.
A Sad Case With a Moral for Other Dogs.

Rodig, the shoemaker, has dog whose tondness for liquor has caused him to lose the respect of all good dogs in the city.
 The canine was not responsible for contracting the vile habit, but having once been induced to try some red-eye. he cultivated a taste for it at once and since that time has never let an op- portunity pass to accumulate jag. Yesterday while in state of woeful intoxication MT Dog laid down in the middle of the street and deliberately let wagon run over him. His death is momentarily expected, but some are of the opinion that the animal was either on the verge of t's, or else wanted to commit su eide.
 The sad case of the pup ought to serve as a warning to other dogs and also to human hogs who can never get enough whisky.

SLICK MIR. DU BOIS.
He Rents 8 Bicycle and Fails to Return
 With It.

The Andrews bicycle agency are de- ploring the loss of a wheel. Tuesday a man who gave the name of Du Bois reDled a wheel from the firm, sta ing that he wanted to go to the Indian school north of the city and would need the bicycle all afternoon. He also took along pump to be prepared for possible puno.ures. That was the last Andrews saw of the machine. Du Bois not only failed to return at the appointed time. but did not make his appearance yesterday.
 The firm have come ito the conclusion that it was a case of run away on the part of the wheel or Du Bois. but are more inclined to think that the latter not unwil1fngly followed the machine.
 Andrews waited until yesterday for Du Bois to return, then gave up all hope and had warrant sworn out for his arrest. It is thought that Du Bois had wisely concluded that a man was a fool to walk when he can ride, and rented the wheel for a trip across the country, forgetting of course, to leave security. The officials anticipate no trouble in locating the runaway wheel if Du Bois struck across the desert.
 The wheel is of the Crawford make and numbered 40477 so if anybody should run across a wheel of that make and number the owner thereof should be viewed with suspicion unless he can satisfactorily account for himself. TOJTGH CHAR.ACTFRC

A PROMOTER OF PLEASURE.
MT. Shepherds Dance Will Take Place
 in the County Jail.

Tucson Star: M. Shepherd, an ad- venturer, who began to infest Tucson a month ago is in jail for nine days and he may easily regard himself as a sub ject of good luck.
 Sherherd is the man who organized what he called grand masquerade carnival and fiesta ball to be given under the auspices of the Knights and Ladies of Honor. It was to come of tonight, but the whole thing is off Shepherd went about the carnival in the right way. That is he became a liberal patron of newspapers and jot offices. He had circulars and tickets printed by thousands and an elaborate programme covered with advertise mems. The tickets were put on the market and a couple of rather attrac- tive looking girls made a. successful house to house canvass. There were some suspicious circumstances from the outset. Nobody knew anything about the Knights and Ladies ot Honor.
 He had many aliases and was sus- pected of having been engaged in other shady transactions before the carniva was prospected. Shepherds downfall grew out of the impatience of g printer to whom he owed $25. He ha6 only $9 which was applied on the bil, and Justice Scott sentenced Shepherd to nine days in the county jail to cover the costs of the action. s

 One man who evidently had forgotten that electricity is a dangerous thing to fool with carelessly picked up the end of the wire. He was pained and sur prised as soon as he did so, in fact, he was shocked in more ways than one He gave a yell that could be heard a mile and turned a double somersault that would have made a con5or tionist envious.

Consistency,

against him by the Atlanta Constitution,

coinage would be good policy. Mr..

but since that time he has given the
question close study, and he is now con-
WINGED that the free and unlimited coin

this country. This is a good and salts
factory defense against the charge of in
consistency, When man finds by
thorough investigation and study that
he has held and expressed an erroneous
opinion, a change of opinion and express
sion in accord with the conclusion
reached by more careful and deliberate
examination of the subject is not to his

him. The consistent man is he who

A BUSINESS man from New York thus
sizes up the political outlook: The pros
poets of the Democrats are Frightening

statement know but little OF what is going
on. Wages arc being advanced, mills are
running night and day, and American
manufacturers, thanks to free raw ma
terials, are beating their European COM
petitors in the most distant markets OF

with equal chances as to material the

not only hold his own against the
foreigner, but could drive him of the

A LOT of useless abuse is being heaped
upon Comptroller Bowler, because he
has notified beet sugar company, Of
Nebraska, that he has doubts of the
constitutionalty of the act making an
appropriation to pay sugar bounties, and
requesting them, through their lawyers,
TO present arguments on the subject.
Mr.. Bowler is only performing his duty.
In decision in a suit brought to compel
payment of sugar bounty the court OF
appeals, of the district Of Columbia, has
declared the bounty law to have been,
in its opinion, unconstitutional. What
then is wrong about Comptroller Bowler
demanding to have his doubts removed
before approving the payment of public
money? That's exactly what the office
OF comptroller exists for.
