ENDS A LONG JOURNEY.
Russell Avery Goes 1000 Miles Across
Country in a Prairie Schooner.


Country in a Prairie Schooner.
Russell Avery has arrived at Wester-
ly, r. l., having come overland all the
way from Kansas in prairie schooner.
The start was made August 25. Avery
was alone and came through st. Jo-
seph, Mo-, Charlestown and Springfield,
ILL.,, Indianapolis. Columbus, o., across
Pennsylvania, through the lower por-
tion of New York state and across Con-
necticut to Westerly. He calculates that
he has travelled 1000 miles. Avery went
to Kansas from Westerly in 1882, and
came back in the way he did because
he could not sell his goods there and
raise enough money for railroad fares
for both himself and wife. The latter
has been in Westerly for several weeks.

Now, as the dryad. curled to capital S,
quivering and Missing advanced for the
last time to the charge, it was bound
to strike across the edge of the sofa on
which lay. at the erect head of Stotfles,
which vanished with "a juggling celebrity
that would have dislocated the collar
bone of any other animal in creation.
From such an eXertion the snake re-
covered itself with an obvious effort,
quick beyond question, but not nearly
quick enough. Before could well sec
that it had missed it's aim. Stoffles had
launched out like spring released, and,
burying eight or ten claws in the back
Of its enemy's head, pinned it down
against the stiff cushion of the sofa.
The tail of the agonized reptile flung
wildly in the air and tapped on the
arcEed back of the imperturbable

Stotfles dropped quietly. and her teeth
met once. twice. thrice. like the needle
and hook OF sewing-machine. in the
neck OF the blue dryad; and when. aft
er much de!iberation. she let it go, the
beast fell into limp tangle on the floor.

afterward learned. they extracted

there was much complaint about per-
sons using police stars to ride on the
cars, ETC., who were not on the regular
force, and this should be stopped.
On motion of Commissioner Forman
the chief was instructed to strictly On.
force rule No. SO. which states that pa
trolmen must not walk nor talk with
any person on their beat, except to give
information, and that such conversation
must not exceed three minutes.
Commissioner Forman also said that
he had been informed that the notorious

drawn a revolver on citizens, and claim
ed that he had q permit to carry .
weapon. On his motion such permit was
ordered revoked at once.
The case of Officer Il. o. Wilkinson.
charged with being intoxicated while ON
duty was next called up. The officer
admitted having taken several drinks
of Hostetter's Bitters, but urged in ex-
tenuation that he had been up several
nights with his sick wife. Sergeant JEFF

Goodman, all testified that the officer
was intoxicated and, on motion, he was
dismissed. the vote being unanimous,
Commissioner Forman remarklng that
they must have discipline at all COSTS
Commissioner Forman thought that
the chief should toke an officers star
from him as soon as he was suspended.
but 1t was urged that this was not al

THE COUNTY HUMANE SOCIETY
Jealous Work Being Accomplished for thl
Prevention of Cruelty

prevention OF Crueuv
The board of directors of the County
Humane society held it's regular meet
ing yesterday afternoon at S15 West
Sixth street. The officers present were
Major Widemeyer, Hon. II. r. Lee, Chas.
Cassat Davis. Chief Glass. DIR. Walter
Lindley, Mrs. j. ID. Hooker, Mrs. rhom-
as Goss and Mrs j. B. MiIlard, the Sec
retary.
The humane officers monthly report
was read by the secretary. The docu-
ment was rather original in its express
sions. and dealt chiefly with work in re-
turning wayward children to their
homes; some few cases OF cruelty to
animals were also reported. The report
was not entirely satisfactory to the
board. which later discussed the fact
that much of the officers time had been
directed from the real work of the HUI
name society, and while it had been very
necessary work It really came under the
domains ofthe Ransom or Florence home.
II was decided to rectify this method In
the future.
A communication was read in regard
to the great cruelty shown in the trades
parade by two young men who led the
procession in using the bit and spur Oh
their horses. The general cruelty
shown to horses in parades was discuss
ed at some length and very strongly
ccnsured. Mr.. Davis was instructed
to draw up a resolution to be presented
at the next meeting, protesting against
this abuse. Chief Glass also signifled
his Willingness to confer with the Fiesta
committee before their festival. that the
cruel practices may not be allowed in the
parades at that time.
The docking of horses tails was also
discussed at some length, but no decid-
ed action was taken in regard to this
practice.
The matter of the board of supervisors
paying part of the humane officers sal
airy was also discussed. as many of the
cases before the organization are from
the county II is thought there is much
need for help from the supervisors.
\ communication was read from W.
G.. Gardner. superintendent of the Boys
and Girls society in Portland. Or, ask
ing that the little child, Josie Daniels>
adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Seabury,
now divorced, be kept by the society un-
/ till it could be sent back to Portland
The writer said all expenses would be
paid by him. This matter was left IN
the hands of the president. with power
to act.
Some routine business was transacted
and bills were allowed, after which the
board adjourned.

FLAG RAISING
Interesting Exercises at the Hewitt Street
School Yesterday

The flag raising exercises at the Hew
lit street school building yesterday, were
of a very charming nature. Directors
McInenry, Adams. Webb and Bartlett
were present, also Superintendent Eos
shay and Mr. Ennis. Mr.. Foshay made
a glowing little speech on patriotism and
the flag, and also sang The Star Spangled
Banner, which is part of the official pro-
gram at the flag raisings.
The children's exercises were very
pretty. and reflected much credit on Mtss
i. A. Williams, the teacher. There were
recitations, and songs, and pretty gyms
mastic exercises in the building. Later
in the yard. the flag was presented by
George Sergeant, with an appropriate
speech, and accepted very gracefully by

run up in the sunshine and after the
impressive and beautiful salute was
given, the exercises closed with the singa
