Library Tickets with Don License.

Some time ago the Kansas City,
Kan, Council passed an ordinance
giving the public library SO per cent.
OF all money derived from dog H.
censes. This will amount to about
$500 per year. The membership fee
to the public library IL 81 annually.
The promoters of the free member
ship scheme claim that by virtue OF
the ordinance giving the library half
OF the dog license money the poor
people of the city practically support
the library They argue It Is not the
rich people who keep dogs, but the
poor classes. The license on female
dog Is $3.50. while 1t costs $l25 per
year to harbor male dog. It Ia
claimed that 95 per cent. of the money
derived from dog licenses comes from
the laborlng people. and. inasmuch az
their money supports the institution,
they think it Is no more than right
that they should be allowed free ac-
cess to the library.
The ordinance will provide that
when a person takes out dog license
the City Clerk shall issue with II one
membership to the library

shears used are operated by steam

TO President Shortall OF the Illinois
Humane Society against the shearing
of the sheep In winter, and Mr. Shor-
tall to-day notified the shearers that
he would interfere in the matter as a
violation OF the law relating to the
proper protection of animals from heat

the animals are kept in a warm shed

Chicago for slaughter They also
point to the fact that the sheep fatten

ZEPHR RAJ

Tine operate spectacle Of Zephra, to be
given August Is and 10, will be the
largest entertainment ever given in ISL
and Pond opera house. Three weeks have
passed in hard and earnest work prepar-
ing the various classes, and all show
marked improvement. This entertain
ment Is deserving Of your patronage. aud
the cause is most worthy one. There
are upwards OF % people working hard
to make it perfect success, now prac-
tically assured. Beautiful tableaux, ar
tistic dances, fine chorus work together
with solos, duets, aud a strong plot well
rendered, make up the evenings enter
tainment. The costuming is bright, very
pretty and appropriate. There are ten
different classes at work afternoon and
evening. The Brownies class consists OF
twelve little boys. They are real Brown
les with their comical dance and many
antics. The New sboys chorus is a per-
feet representation of newsboys, ragged
and rough, but quite realistic of news
boy life in a city. The Blackbirds, exc
cuted by ten little girls who are appro-
pTiately costumed, do a very pretty
dance with dainty steps reminding one OF
a flock of these graceful little creatures in
flight, deserve much credit for the hard
work and the interest they manifest.
The Grace Dance is a dance of beauty.
Every movement must be done with pre-
ciseness, and those participating in this
have worked long hours and with much
patience, and a gratifying success will be
their reward. The Merry-go-round is a
strong feature-one of the strongest as a
spectacle. The young ladies representing
this are working well and promise a
beautiful dance. The drill of sixteen
young ladies must not be overlooked. 1t
is probably the most striking of all the
classes, being the hardest to perfect. The
work next week will be given wholly TO
chorus work and solo parts, and a full
attendance is absolutely necessary. Let
all classes he completely filled and
promptness too is most heartily desired.
