people of the colony. in the course OF
which he says. 1t iS my duty TO dis
pei false reports regarding the policy

spread abroad that the Dutch will be
deprived of their constitutional rights.
There is absolutely no truth in such al.

The imperial government desires
the greatest freedom of self-govern-
ment for both Dutch and British. and
the extension, not the curtailment. OF
the constitutional rights that are sole

A DISQUIETING TUNE
How it Implied a Colorado Summer

a study They believe the heat here

if they had not made up their minds TO
go before the hot season actually set
in The temperature SO far has not
been uncomfortable. When the people
go TO the summer resorts they never
have as good Il lime as they antici-
pate. To illustrate this the hotel man
tells 4 story. He was the proprietor
of i mountain resort in Colorado last
summer The band played each even

Der of guests We're sitting out Of doors
listening TO the band 1t struck up the

III a short time no less than ten ladies
left one at time and they were seen
going up the stairs to gheir rooms with
handkerchiefS over their ewes. The
next morning fourteen guests who had
expected TO stay longer left the resort
and not all of them We're women. They
preferred 10 stay at home with rheir
families and become recOnciled to its
temporary discOmfOrtS. than to spend q
period of IOnelineSs among cool breeZes.
The proprietor of the hotel lost four
teen guests. but he had gained ex-
perience. He gave orders for the tune
of Home iSwesr Home to ever after
wards be omitted from the musical
programme and he has learned since
that this is Il rule at all the resorts of
the country.

do not justify such suspicion. The
first case was attended by DR.. Norton,
and his statement was that it was a
plain case OF enteritis. The one that
died Saturday night was attended by
Dr. Richmond, and he stated that
whereas there were some symptoms OF
enFeritis there were complications
that pointed strongly to poisoning by
oleander. AS the case progressed the
symptoms pointed more strongly that
way. Previous to death he proposed
in case OF death to hold a post-mortem
examination, which was done DR..
Norton was also called to assist in the
examination and believed that all the
appearances of oleander poisoning
were present, with the exception of
finding the leaves among the undigest-
ed matter in the stomach
DR.. Richmond said thai he had at
tended several animals here that he
knew had eaten Oleander, and the APP

was taken up and referred TO District
Attorney Flanagan for an opinion on
the validity OF the law. The district
attorneys opinion will be submitted
not later than next Saturday.
No doubt has been raised regarding
the validity of the law. but since Il. is
a new one the board desired a formal
expression from its legal adviser Mr.
Flanagan was asked yesterday if he
had formed an impression regarding
the law. He replied that he had not

for the fun of it and the so cents

end Of trouble to save the life of a
good dog by finding an owner for it
Though generally a dog captured one
day IS executed the next, Mr.. Burke
sometimes Iepr:eves a dog for a week
and goes around trying TO find some
one who VIII buy tag for him This
takes time, for which the dog catcher
is not paid, but raises the profession of
dog catching in the estimation of the
community. Heretofore dog catchers
have not stood very high N Phoenix,
not so much because the occupation
was a disgraceful one as because the
incumbents carried it on with unneces-
sary heartlessness.
