assistance. Several committees We're
appointed to see that the people i'll their

A CASE is mentioned by a physician
as having occurred in this city and that
is the forced removal of a family from
their house because sick member of the
family could not secure the rest neces-
sary to restore health because of the
eternal barking of dogs in the near
neighborhood. The question arises, is
the city responsible to that family for
damages? If a person stubs his toe on a
sidewalk he can collect damages. But
loss of sleep is Il more serious deprivation
than the loss of toe scalp. And yet
those who are sick, praying for quiet
and yearning for rest must subordinate
their rights to the glorious privilege of
the dog Has the person who pays taxes
no right to demand protection from the
city authorities? Must he yield up every
thing to the dog when their interests
clash? If some poor devil is out on a
toot and gives little whoop the police
are on top of him and his mouth is still
ed. Why is the dog greater than he?
Why should the dog be permitted TO do
all night what the ''whooperup' does
only in passing?
There is an ordinance for dog license.
There is an ordinance for saloon license
1t is rigidly enforced. Why the discrim-
ination? Why give the dog the p ,er
ence if any should be shown? How would
mandamus proceeding to compel col
lection of dog license suit the case?

and Michigan Ave. from the Luling
school westward to Richmond street.
This is a much needed Improvement,
There is a very large amount of travel
along these streets by people visiting the
cemetery and the Fairgrounds. In the
spring of the year and after rains there
are long stretches where the side-paths
are practically impossible on account of
mud. 1t is to be hoped that the walks
may soon be extended to Ten Eyck Str,
and thence north to the fair grounds and
south to the cemetery.

THE city is experimenting along new
line in street improvement on York st.
The block between Seventh and Eighth
streets has been covered with cracked
lime stone from Grimms. On top of this
will be laid three inches of ordinary
crushed stone, and the whole rolled down
hard. 1t is thought this process will
make firm surface that will not easily
break up under heavy teaming.

paved portions of Eighth street and Com

some discussion it was referred to a spec

1t was decided to lay cement walks
along the north and west sides of the
park, but the contract was not let as
there was only one bid properly offered
and that was too high. The council or
iered the purchase of 800 feet of new can
vas covered hose for the fire department.
The other matters acted on by the board
were the usual routine business. 1t is
hoped that the question of surface drain
age may be satisfactorily settled soon, so
that the work of paving can begin.

fame of Ostera still lives.
The early Christians made the East

eight days, but in the eleventh century
the festival was reduced to three days,
and later to one day. In olden days
Easter was the popular time for bap-

the poor and needy were feasted re-
gally in the churches, custom that
was much abused and which led to
great disorder. Slaves were Temporal

1t was the momentous theme Of the

The first sessions met in the church,

the place of meeting was transferred
to the imperial palace, where special
apartments were reserved for this au-

all the solemnity and regard for the
Mosaic law the Feast of the Passover;

Christ as represented by the Paschal

Eastertide, the oldest church festi-
val, comes down to us from the ancient
Hebrews. With them, however, the
time was not associated with the death
and resurrection of Christ, but with
the season OF the year when the earth
puts forth its freshest blossoms and
the revivification of nature-the
springing forth of life in the spring.
1t is from this that the Easter egg
custom springs, and centuries ago,
even before the birth of Christ, colored
eggs were given and received by cele-
brants of the feast. The egg for all
time has been regarded as symbolcal
of the spring, when the earth receives
from nature its new life. Not only

lin their celebrations of the feast of
solar new year, in March.
With the Hebrews the festival was
called Pasch, and the name still lives,
with slight alterations, among many
nations. The French call the festival
