J. B. Kendall of 61S Pennsylvania Ave

missiouers submitting a statement and
protesting against compliance with the
notice served upon him by the Health
Department. The notice in question was
that he must abate the nuisance of a
filthy open yard and shed at 314 X Street
southwest. MIR. Kendall states that it is
impossible TO comply with the request, as
up to the present time he has not been
able to have the place connected with
water and sewer connections.
e w Whitaker, an inspector of the
Health Department, in reporting upon the
matter, has informed the Health officer
that the property in question is four
room frame dwelling substantially built.
and that the houses referred to on First
Street southwest which he vacated under
the same notice are brick buildings. The
Inspector SAYS that these houses are such
as other owners in the neighborhood are
connecting with the sewers and water
mains The Inspector further says that
if the gate TO the yard were closed after
a good cleaning there would be no further
cause for trouble

Another CENTER from the Cen
tralia Courier:
This paper is not trying to reg
ulate saloons anywhere-we are
not in the business even to the ex-
tent of being an apologist for
them. In giving the news, we
chronicled the saloon episode in
Mexico and told how editor White
had rushed out in the storm to
strike hands with the saloon men,
but the giving of this news did
not constitute us regulator.
Kindly we would suggest to Edit
or White, of the Ledger, that
while Centralia has saloons, yet
she has no editors or preachers
who cry aloud from the house top
in their defense, hence we have to
go away from home to find de-
Tenders of the nefarious traffic.

troduced to President Roosevelt
and wife, and other digntareS,
including a big Indian. Booker
Washington was not III at the time
of our call! Baked beans and dry
toast were served. The stars and
stripes as decorations abounded.
We did not go to the circus in the
outside tent.
The next was Germany as rep
resented in Berlin. Here were a
jolly crowd of German boys and
girls, with song and dance, making
things lively for the visitors. We
were presented to Kaiser Wilhelm,
and treated to saurkraut, wieners
and coffee in beer mugs. The lit

songs.
In Japan" everything wa,

was an absence of chairs; Japs OF

Johnny on the Dachshund in the
Chicago Tribune: The dach-
shund is a dog. He is very short
up and down and very long length
ways. His forelegs are quite
crooked, which is a good thing for
him, because if they were straight
ened up his shoulders would be
about four inches higher than the
remainder of him. The dachshuud
wears his ears low down. He is
quite docile, but prefers the Ger
man language to any other. 1t is
very amusing to see a dachshund
chasing his tail, which he cannot
do gracefully on account of not
having enough legs. If | had to
be dog would much rather be
large Newfoundland, still we
must not repine at our lot. What
ever Providence orders is best for
us. Our hired girl says her cous-
in once had a dachshund that got
in his way when he was chopping
wood and he accidentally cut the
dogs tail off. At Q o'clock next
day the dachshund emitted q
frightful scream. He had jus,
found it out. A dachshund is the
only thing you cannot buy at q
