GARNER Ben" the wise old
sage in the Austin Transcript
always has a lot of good things
to say, and this week tells the
Transcript readers what he
thinks of the repeal of the deg
tax. He says:-T never could
see the sense of the last legis-
later lettin' up on the tax on
worthless dogs and ours with
which the great commonwealth
of Minnesota is infested. 1t
looks like the push of a few
city dudes that claim to be
spOrtsmen and shots but who
couldn't hit the side of a barn
with the big door shut had
more inflocence with the low
browed statesmen than the
farmers and folks that has
children. The papers are full
of the havoc of the worthless
beasts bitin' children and Civ
in 'em hydrofobia, and bitin'
COWS and givin' 'em rabies, and
bitin' and KILN sheep and
scarin' 'em so they depreciate
sixty per cent in vigor and
tameness, and frighteniu'
teams and maxim runaways,
and snappin' at the heels of
honest passers nindin' their
own business, and helpin' their
selves without invite to folks
calls, and all such, and then to
think that there amt one out
of seven hundred and ninety
that earn their salt or are one
bit of good or profit. 1t just
makes me mad to think Of sucll
dog=gone nuisances kept q,
large in this enlitened age OF
the world. Why shouldn't
dogs be taxed heavy? Why
shouldn't the world be rid ct
the multitude of 'em? Why

Inquiries at Smithield have not re-
suited in confirmation OF the story OF
a beef trust. the existence Of which IN
America is doubted here. The state.
ment that such trust exists here Is
repudiated. The decline in American
shipments is attributed mainly 10 the
high price Of American corn, which
induced farmers to raise corn instead
of cattle
1t is declared that the formation OF
a beet trust in America or here would
not affect the supplies from Argentina

ers condemn British farmers for not
keeping abreast Of the times and for
not adapting themselves to changed
circumstances, and declare that they

They Have a Meeting to Discuss
Plans for Bringing Him
Back.

Something is likely to happen to DR.. A.
A. Ames very soon. :. His bondsmen held a
meeting Saturday afternoon with their at
'torney and decided to take some action
promptly In order%to prevnt any flight to
Mexico. What course was decided upon
Is not known, but the decision on this
point was unanimous, the details being
left In the hands Of A: B. Jackson.
IN the conference were Thomas Lowry,
William Il. Boutell, William H. Johnson
ana Fred Schiek. Mr.. Lowry, who was
anxious to get away as lle$Was preparing
TO so to New York, proposed that each
one contribute $4,000 and be released as
oondsman, thereby closing what has be-
come very annoying matter to those who
Went surety for DR.. Ames' appearance. The
others protested against letting $4,000 go SO
easily and 1t was suggested to Mr. Lowry
that ne might solve the difficulty very
easily by paying the $4,000 himself. 1t
was then Mr.. Lowry's turn to balk and he
did 1t as promptly as the other three had
squelched his proposition.
IL may be accepted as certain that Dr.
Ames will be returned to Minneapolis by
MS pondsmen If there is any feasible way.
They do not hesitate to express the con-
V1ctlon that he will try to get out of the
country and beyond extradition.
DR.. Ames Is supposed to be still in Louis
vile, but there is nothing definite on this
point. His bondsmen fear that if he has
not already gone elsewhere, he is simply
o1dine his time when he may slip away
without being noticed.

HORSE IN PLUMBING SHOP
He Breaks in Through Window TAX
ing Owner Alonp.

Nels Olsons horse jumped through a
plate-glass window into g. plumbers shop
landed In porcelain bathtub which it
demolished, and escaped without serious
injury. Mr.. Olson,, his wife and two chill
dren had all stuck by the rig, and when
the horse went through the window they
went, too. But the animal was so tan
gled IN his gear and in the plumbing de-
orls that scratches E! and slight bruises
were the worst injuries received.
The plumber presented a bill for dam
ages to Mr.. Olson, who, in turn. added
MS own damages to horse, harness and
rig, and presented it to the owner of the
big, red automobile which had caused the
trouble. A check in full satisfaction of
all claims was Immediately Forthcoming
without question.
The accident took place on Park ave.
nue.. Mr.. Olson was driving down town
and met the automobile at Eleventh street
The machine suddenly handed out a large
bundle of noise, whereat the horse lost
its mental balance and olted down the
avenue like a shot The frightened ami
NAL was going so fast that it was impos-
sible to turn him where the avenue ends.
at Tenth street., and the collision with
the plumbers establishment was the re-
suit.
