1t is probable that the aldermen viii
soon be asked to pass an ordinance
prohibiting people from maintaining
chicken coops so near their neighbors'
property that the birds can annoy
folks who want to sleep once in a
While. A man told a representative of
the Democrat yesterday that one of
his children is sick and that the
kitchen is the only place that they can
keep the boy secure from the noise of
the neighbours rooster. He said it
was worse in the early morning than
| at any other time, but the nuisance
continued all day and no sick person
could stand it. The aldermen should
put a stop to this business.r9If a man
cannot keep chickens without worry
ing his neighbors he has no right to
have them.

vicinity named, the animal called
around at certain hour almost every
evening for the past two or three
weeks. But according to popular re-
port its days were ended last. night
by Officer Hickey who shot skunk
i in the above named vicinity. Every
body hopes it was the skunk that has
been annoying the neighborhood fol-
the past few weeks, though some peo-
pie say there must have been half q
dozen skunks, else the odor could not
have been so strong. Officer Hickey.
however, is confident it was the same
and only skunk, for the one he shot
smelled exactly the same as thai
