A BOOM IN DOGS.
They Are Wanted for the Alaskan Passe
Omaha Bee.

There promises to be scarcity of good
material in the dog market if the local
Klondike fever is not soon subdued. At
least that is the opinion of the owners Of
valuable canine flesh, for their pets have
had habit lately Of disappearing with
startling frequency. Fully seventy-fve
dogs have been surreptitiously separated
from their owners during the last fort
night, and none of them have ever
returned. 1t is probable that the dogs are
now already in Seattle or en- route to that
city and that in the course of month or
go they will be toiling over the Skagway
or Chilkoot passes with miners supplies.
About two weeks ago modestly dressed
old man with white hair and gray whisk-
ers, accompanied by two younger men,
appeared in the city and announced they
were agents for supply firm in Seattle
They stated their quest to this city was
the securing of carload of dogs, about
100 in number, and that from So to s.
would be paid for good, healthy dogs A
canvass was made1of the residence ror-
lions of the city and at each place visited
the first question asked was il the house
hold owned a dog. If answered in the
affirmative, request to see the dog was
made and if it CHANGED to be one of the
shepherd, Newfoundland or ST. Bernard
breeds an offer was at once made to pur-
CHI ase. In many instances sales were
made, but in others a money considera-
ton was Of no moment to the owners OF
the pets.
About twenty five dogs were purchased

not enough. A few days later dogs be.
longing to the residents who had been
called upon began to disappear. Com
plants were made to the police, but thu
thieves were not located. The epidemic
of dog stealing first broke out in Kountze
place, where about half dozen Were
taken. Among the victims was 0. A.
Scott, 1914 North Nineteenth street, who
lost few nights ago highly pedigreed
shepherd dog which he valued at 500.
Clifton Hall came next and here it il
said some twenty dogs failed to respond
to the whistles of their owners next morn.
ing. : Among them was a Newfoundland
belonging to A. Roberts, living at Forty
fifth and Erskine streets. The dog was
valued by its owner at about Sl5. From
this place the epidemic spread to Walnut
Hill, also the eastern portion of Orchard
Hill, and at each place the kennels were
made desolate and the juvenile heart sad
by the loss of sCarlo"eeand "Shep."
The losses becamesso frequent in the
suburbs last week that the teachers in the
Clifton Hill and Walnut Hill schools
warned their scholars to tie their dogs in
the barn or lock them up in the house If
they wished to preserve them from the
canine DOGGY man. In spite of this, how
ever, the dogs still disappear. Other cities
besides Omaha have complained of SINH
lar experiences and the police have been
on the lookout for the cause for some
time past.

The Louisvill Courier Journal declares
| that for violence to the very vitality of
Americanism; for abandonment of every
principle of Democracy; for contempt of
even the sent lance of liberty; for the
abolition of every individual and social
right upon which Republicanism is
based; for fragrant scorn of even the form
of fair play, and even the shadow Of de
oency for absolute and open desertion
of public duties ana AFFECT and malevo-
lent prostitution to partisan plumber; for
arrogant usu rpation in the name OF
sroil5, of the sacred functions OF repre-
sentative government and their distortion
to oligarchic despotism-for all these
things the record of the recent Kentucky
Legislature is not only unparalleled, but
unapproached. This is not the opinion
Of Republican journal, but OF the most
influential Democratic paper in the State.
Judging from the occasional gltmpses OF
the work of the legislature which the
North has had this Characterization is
not enc whit overdrawn.
As sixty eight per cent of the Spanish
people are iliterate it is not strange that
they should be densely ignorant in re-
gard to the United States, and think that
they would be able to whip US easily.
But from the higher classes of the popu-
lation, especially from the men who are
selected for dipo1n attic positions, we expect
better things. Yet the Spanish minister
at Vienna has been expressing ideas
which show that he is scarcely less ignor-
ant of the real situation in the United
States than the mass of thu population Of
his country. In case of war, he says,
Spanish emissaries would raise revolts in
tho South Now the Spanish emissary who
should undertake to raise revolt in the
South, would have the same chance of
success as if he undertook the same thing
in New York or New England. He would
nevor get beyond the point of making his
purpose known. This Spanish minister
is about twenty years behind the times.
He has not got beyond the civil war in
his reading of American history, and he
thinks the Southern States are STILL il not
actually in revolt hostile to the union
and only kept in subsection by force. If
the Spanish government is going to war
with this country with such ancient ideas
in its head as this minister gives utter
ance to, when it awakes to the truth it
will be the most astonished government
tho world ever saw.
