A PUBLIC LIBRARY.

public library. Such an institution
would prove highly beneficial IN many
respects, and THE NEWS stands ready
to give encouragement to a movement
looking to the establishment of one in
Dawson.
Besides having a tendency to pro-
mote interest in literary matters
good public library is also an educa-
tional factor, and one in Dawson
would afford many of our people, both
Young and old, an opportunity to graf
ifv their desire for good reading mat
ter that they would not otherwise
have. We believe movement IN this
direction would receive the hearty sup
mort of our citizens, and we hope the
suopestion which we now make will
result in the question of public libra
nv being agitated
To be successfully conducted 1T must,
of course, be run on an economical
schedule, but this could easily oe done,
and in a short time after its INSTALL
ment we believe there would be suf>
ficlently large membership to warrant
the expenditure of such a sum as
would give to Dawson fully equIpr-
ed library with all the best authors
represented in its collection of books.
Let Dawson have public library.
THE cur dogs doom has been sound

tnre, and the senate's sayso will
make 1T a law. The dogs must be
registered with the ordinary, who
will issue brass checks TO be worn
by the dogs so registered, and al! dogs
found without checks are to be put to
death. The constabulary of the mi
litia districts are to be lord high exc
cutioners, receiving for each execn-
ton che sum of twenty-five cents.
The slaughter is to be made in March
and April of each year, and it will be
a misdemeanor for any person to Sc
crete dog or for any constable to fail
to do bloody execution.
THIS from the Asheville, n. c., Cit
izen is the Lords truth: "The worst
thing about this hero worship is that
1t gives the young and the children the
wrong idea of life, its objects and hopes.
The best life is the life of labor, Of
production. Worship of war heroes
teaches the young that the ideal life is
one of alternate blood and idleness, of
tax eating and brass buttons, of might
against right" This country has lit
orally gone stark mad on war hero
worship, and the church and christi
anitY is SO mixed up with it that
"peace on earth and good will toward
man. is absolutely lost. There is
nothing left of it except the pretense.

The houses in the ward are for the most part
two or three story and basement brownstone

There are some grand old trees in the
asphalted streets OF the ward, and 1t Is noted
for its cleanliness and great desirability as
residential district. Rents are reasonable ana
