BITTEN BY A SPITZ DOG
Chicago Receiving PrecnutiOn-
AIRY Treatment.

A tiny Spitz dog which had long been the
plaything of the children of a prominent
Omaha family was seized with malady
resembling rabies two weeks ago and as a
result three of the children, with their
mother, are now undergoing treatment by
Chicago specialist. The dog had spent its
existence since a puppy in the household
of Alfred Millard, 1920 Farnam street. 1t
was a thoroughbred and by it's cleverness
and amiability had endeared itself to the
whole family. One afternoon about two
weeks ago the Millard children, with
small son of Richard Hall, were playing in
the formers yard, the dog as usual taking
part in the frolic.
Suddenly the tiny creature was apparently
seized with q ft. 1t rushed about in
frantic manner, barking sharply and foaming
at the mouth. One of the children, being in
| its path. the Sptz snapper its hand. the
| needle like teeth penetrating the heshy
| portion The childs cries attracted the other
| children, who gathered around the dog and
were successfully bitten by the frenzied
| animal Mrs. Millard's attention was at
| tracted to the scene, and She too, was bit
| ten before the children were gotten in
doors. The dog was killed by a servant.
While it was not certain that the ami
NAL had been afflicted with rabies, it was
| thought best to consult eminent advice re-
| garding the case, and upon the suggestion
of local physicians the members of the fam
lilies who had been bitten went at once to
Chicago, where they are now under the
care OF a well known surgeon Mr.. Milard
says that the wounds inflicted by the dog
are trivial and that no fear of hydrophobia
exists. The treatment, he says, is purely
precautionary measure and adds that all
who were bitten are recovering without in
| cident.

introduced another resolution that unless
the railroad companies file Immediately
complete plans and agree to build the Six
teenth street viaduct without delay, the
city attorney bring legal proceedings to
compel them to do so. This was passed
by vote of seven of the council.
1T finally came to our knowledge that
appraisers would necessarily have to be ap-
pointed to compute the damages arising
from such construction before the city could
legally enforce the railroads to take action
in the matter These appraisers are now at
work and have not as yet submitted their
report"

cause of his attendance at all of the meet

"has held that the railroad companies must
build viaducts where the city requires il

delay in the matter after the appraisers
present their report. | have been in
| formed that the Burlington had already ap-
propriated its share of the expense of build
ing this structure. 1t Is true that we have
been cropping somewhat in the dark in this
matter for tho reason that the city attorney
! has differed with the council regarding
the best method to pursue and | think tha
when the matter comes up for final settle
ment, if the railroads have to be com
PEELED by law to fulfill their part of tht
contract, that we will have to employ out

Addresses were made by August Andreen

teonth street and have suffered because o
the condemnation and construction CT tn

tention to the attitude of City Attorne
Connell in the matter, asserting that pres
sure must be brought to bear upon him t

The later proposition which has arise
regarding the closing of Seventeenth stree

of the Burlington and Union Pacific railroads
with City Engineer Rosewater and members
of the council, wherein they expressly agreed

ton of the viaduct provided the city would
consent to a floor of wooden blocks instead
of concrete and asphalt. This, think, was

spain,S Greot RDtIdi,g

Spain possesses one of the largest buildings in the world. It is at once a palace, a museum, a library, a picture gallery, a monastery, a church and burial place. This wonderful edifice is called the Escorial, although the name is very generally corrupted both in England and America into "Escuri- al"
 The Escoria1 was commenced in 1563 by order of Philip II. of Spain and was intended partly as 3 royal burial place for the kings of Spain and partly as a commemoration oi Philips victory over the French at St Quentin in 1857. It is built entirely of granite, and measures TAI feet il length by $50 feet in breadth. At each corner is a tower 200 feet in height. The building is supposed to represent an enormous gridiron lying upside down, and this shape is believed to have reference to St. Lawrence, who was martyred on gridiron.
 Twenty-one years were spent in building it, and it cost $12,000 GOO. It has been twice Iartly destroyed by lightning and was sacked by the French soldiers ill 1808 There are 14,000 doors and 11,000 windows.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Tho Nearest Approach to Perpetual
 Motion Machine Yet Discovered.

Tho Nearest Approach to a Perpetual
 Motion Machine Yet Discovered.
 A Kankakee county, H., man is the possessor of one of the most wonderful clocks in the country. This clock is as near perpetual motion machine as any piece of mechanism yet designed. ' owner is not a perpetual motion t. a. 5 is a jeweler named Peter M. h. ...ae of Gabery, town in the souta zstern portion of Kankakee coun;y.
 The clock is the product of many years of study and labor and consider able expense. It keeps accurate time and will run for year without the least attention from it's owner.
 The clock proper Is run with wheel 60 inches in circumference. From the outer surface Of the circumference was suspended 120 cups, each one-half inch in diameter and a third of an inch deep Each of forty of these cups, which are successive, contain steel balls three-eighths of an inch in diam eter.
 Every minute and a half as this wheel turns by the weight of these balls one of them falls out of it's cup, rolls down an inclined plane 20 inches long, when, by it's own weight, it reunites broken circuit of electricity and is again ele- vated by a little car travelling along a sleeper inclined plane to the top of the wheel, where it falls into a cup which stands vertical for a short time
 After the ear discharges its cargo it returns to it's original station from it's own weight From the time one of these balls is dropped into a cup until it is again dropped into another cup it travels 36 inches Thus the work done by all the balls is equivalent to one ball travelling over one mile a day, 400 miles in one year. and during the life time of person living threescore years the distance around the globe
 The electricity used is generated in an ordinary storage battery, which does not require any attention for fully a year.
