Dogs Battle with a Cactus.
%Illzl1s Telephones,

Otto Kleemann, who lives on Bel
mont street, recently acquired a beau
tiful cactus, which he established in
his household, unmindful of the fact
that his dog held the opinion that his
master should have no other pets be-
fore him. Now he has no cactus and
the detected semblance of dog. The
little animal espied the plant soon after
it's arrival, and issued a challenge. In
default of acceptance, he gave battle,
but retired at the first shock to recon-
slider. The enemy had more teeth than
a battalion Of bull terriers, and all OF
them were newly sharpeued. He was no
gutter, however, and with rising an
ger he renewed the attack. This time
his opponent came down, landing on
him heavily, and with the touch of n
barb-wire fence. The two rolled over
and over in death embrace, and the
cactus was finally vanquished, torn in
to shreds and scattered about the room.
But it was costly victory. The con-
queror is punctured in more places
than his owner can count. He may
live to fight another day, but it win
not be with a cactus.-Oregonian.

Tartar Not overorowded.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Quartermas-
ter General Ludington has received a
dispatch from Major Long, superin-
tendent of army transportation at San
Francisco, showing that the Tartar is
not overcrowded and has more facili-
ties for saving life than could possibly
be needed. There is a disposition
among officials to attribute the blame
for the Tartar incident to the grum-
bling of regulars and the activity of
Aguinaldo's agent in Hongkong. The
result will be that army transports will
hereafter not call at that port.

The state tax commissioners are at

in the copper district in an endeavor
to learn why mining property, worth
about $3.50, 900, 900 in the open market,
is assessed at less than $50, 900, 900.
The explanation given is that the
property in question has nearly trebled
in value since the state board of equal
ization put Houghton county in third
place of assessed valuation among
Michigan counties four years ago.
At present the stock quotations OF the
Calumet & Hecla is placed at $40, o00,-

ASK NOTICE OF INJUNCTION.
Members of Labor Federation Memoir
ialize Chicago's Judges.


Chicago, Sept. 19.-Members of the
Chicago Federation of Labor at the
regular weekly meeting Sunday voted
to memorabilia the Cook county judges
not to issue injunctions against labor
in the future without first giving notice
of at least an hour to some representa-
tive of the union whose members it
sought to have enjoined. A rule to
this effect should, in the opinion of the
federation's lawyers, be adopted by the
local bench. One of the delegates
characterized the petition as declara-
ton of labor that the centuries of
American self-government had resulted
in failure. 1t was a decidedly novel
course for labor organizations to pur-
sue in these days of abundant legisla-
ton, and whatever the outcome it will
be watched with deep interest.

numbers are believed to be impossible
of realization. Even the Boer women
are arming, however, and the boys
from the Transvaal who have been at

taking up arms. Boer youths who
have gone to Great Britain to finish
their education are sailing back to
Africa with the same object in view.
