through the money drawers but got
no cash. They also tried to get in
the safe but failed, so they contented
themselves by carrying off a lot OF
goods, such as kid gloves, ladies silk
handkerchiefs and scarfs, box of
gentlemen's linen shirts, several doz.
pairs of ladies hose, two or three
bolts of dry goods and a lot of

senting the Bankers National Mu.
tual Life Insurance company OF
Lincoln, Nebraska, was arrested and
jailed Saturday for forging the
name of D. G. Edwards to a note,
and selling the same to DIR. Temple.
Dotson has been about town for
some time soliciting insurance, and
not being sery successful in his line
of business adopted the forgery plan
to raise a stake He makes no denial
of his crime, but claims that be had
a loan negotiated and intended to
take up the note before he was de-
tected. He had drawn the note for
Sl31, but had only gotten a few
dollars on it, The doctor had been
treating bis eyes and had also sold

self for the predicament into which
he has placed himself.

This is done for the purpose OF
keeping persons on the outside from

THAT MAD DOG.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Last Thursday a dog bit sew
eral persons and it was afterwards kill
ed. From an examination, its stomach
was found to contain a couple of dish
clothes. some glass and wood, some
curled hair, evidently from cushion
of some sort, and some pieces of sole
leather. 1t is very evident that this
dog. instead of being afflicted with ra-
bies, was simply starving. Starvation
will produce insanity and delirum.
This poor. unfortunate creature, in its
famished condition. went insane. 1t is
ridiculous to suppose that it was afflict-
ed with rabies. a case of genuine hy-
drophobia is so extremely rare that few
physicians have ever come in contact
with one All such alleged cases are
and have been cured by charms and
mad stones. imagination is the dis
ease. imagination the cure There is
no necessity of a Pastuer Institute in
the present case.

CHANGES
Made in the Fire Department by the
Republican Chief, Yesterday---The
South Side Firemen the Victims OF
the PlaCe-HunterS.

Chief Kleives has commenced IN
earnest the work of removing Demo-
Gratis from the local fire department;
He made three removals yesterday ana
Immediately had their places nllea'
The fire laddies who have served the
city of Wheeling bravely and well Tor
a number of years have beer. expecting
for TWO years past that they would
loose their jobs and consequently yes
terdav when the Chief notified three
Of them that their places would be NIL
ed by others they manifested no sur
prise and accepted the situation grace
fully. The old men were not asked Dy
the Chief TO remain and show their sue
cessors the details of the work they
would be expected to do, butwhen the
new men went on duty the old hremeh
quit work, and after gathering togeth-
err their belongings left the place. TWO
of the changes made were at the hook
and ladder. Hugh McCurdy was ap-
pointed to take the place OF John Don
nelly. the driver. and George hemple
10 Mark Mulkurn's place, as tilleT-
man. Mulkurn and Donnelly have been
in the department for a number OF
years-six and FIVE years respectively.
McCurdy has been employed at the
Riverside bar mill and Kemple is an
ex-policeman. The third change was
made at the Niagara Milton Parker,
an employee of the La Belle mill, took
Jack Crogans position. There is a
general regret that requirement OF pol
itics make it necessary that these men
should have to leave the depart
ment. for they have all been re
cognized as able ard fearless fire
men. Much dissatisfaction has been
EXPRESSED by some Of the sew
eral score of applicants for each JOB.
It is stated that there are Sc applicants
for one job at the Niagara alone ana
pretty nearly the same proportion eA-
lists for nearly each of the thirty-one
Jobs in the department.
