BEAUTY sHoRN OF HER LOOKS.


Columbus Commercial.
Miss Margie Simmons, a beautiful
girl about l2 years OF age, the daught.
er of a widow lady who lives two
miles east of Columbus on the airline
road, has been noted throughout her
short but happy life for her long and
beautiful tresses that hung like a
wave Of gold about her shoulders and
below her waist. But on Tuesday
morning Miss Simmons awoke to tht
sad realization OF the fact that she
had lost her beautiful locks. During
the night some one had entered the
room, and her head was completed,
shorn Of its crown OF beauty, and thu
mass OF shlmmering gold lay spread
out on the bed beside her. The affail
was a mystery. The young lady had
not awakened when the act was being
perpetrated, and there was no clue t.
the criminal. The sheriff was called
in and blood hounds were put on the
track, but while they followed the
trail to q negro cabin, whose occupant
proved an alibi, they were unsuccess'
ful in finding the guilty party.

SCHOOL FOR DOGS.
THE LATEST FREAK EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTION IN PARIS.


London Express
In NJ. Edward Gillette's school ol
etiquette for dogs in Paris, CANNES
are trained.
The school room is large, square
apartment, furnished with few
rugs on its polished floor, some chairs
and table or two.
On the school assembling In tht
morning the roll is .called. Tn,
teacher, looking exceedingly dignifled
tapped his desk and the dogs imme
diately formed in line.
Then In a pleasant, but command
ing voice he called the dogs name!
in rotation, each animal being train
ed TO respond with sharp, quick
bark and wag OF the tail.
The first lesson after this perform
ance is to learn to welcome visitors.
No matter who comes into the
rooms Unexpectedly, each dog il
taught to greet the new conner with q
short, low bark.
The animal must also jump up and
wag his tail, but keep far enough
away from the visitor to cause hin
no discomfort.
Each dog goes through this per
formance three times, and then re.
turns to his place in the line like a
soldier.
If a dog is unruly it Is marched to a
chair in the corner Of the room and
made to crouch on its hind legs be.
side it and pray for half an hour.
Then the dogs are taught gallantry.
For instance, II you drop your hand.
kerchief at one end Of the room and
an educated dog happens to be at the
other, he will scamper along to pick
it up, then come running after you
with low bark to attract your at
tention, after which he surrenders
his burden most fastidiously.
The dogs are taught to pick up any
dropped articleip this fashion.
Prancing, dainty little steps are
taught the animals for the street, as
well as deep and profound obeisance.
A visitor to any house where an
an educated dog is kept never leaves
without the dog following her to the
door, either beside or behind his mis-.
tress.
Then, stretching out its forepaws,
1t bends the front part Of its body
until its head rests on the floor. 1t
does not rise, moreover, until the
door is closed.

SO-CALLED EPIDEMIC
TO BE INVESTIGATED
The Board of Health Appoints Com
mittee To Investigate the Milk
Supply of the City To Discover
Cause of Infection, Owing to Prev
alence of Gases Supposed to be Ty-
phoid Fever.

The epidemic of disease in this city,
which is popularity supposed 10 be the
ravaging typhoid, is to be made the
matter of an official inquiry and in
VestigatiOn by the board of health.
At II special meeting of this body last
night, IL resolution was adopted APP
pointing Il committee to investigate the
source of the milk supply of Carbon
dale, which is 10 be found in the out
lying districts, TO discover If possible
the cause of Infection if there be any.
The board. however, made itself clear
that ii did not believe the widespread
prevalence of dseas" in Carbondale to
be an epidemic of typhoid fever; and
if further requested the public in IL res
olution presented by DR.. John Niles,
that ii suspend Judgment in the case of
the milkmcn of the city until after the
committee has visited the milk supply
source and has made public the results
of its Investigations. This was done to
Offset the criticism, harsh enough. that
has mistakenly risen in some quarters
against a few milk dealers. who hap
pened to supply patients who We're af-
tcrwards taken i'll.
Both DR.. Niles and DR.. j. j. Kelly,
president of the board, said that they
did not believe the disease to be epi-
demic. Both had numerous cases which
appeared 10 he typhoid, but which
asreeably surprised them by subsid-
ing in a week or ten days. while ty-
phoid invariably runs a course of sew
eral weeks.
Or. Niles was of the opinion that
these eases are type of influenza. Il
grip. with symptoms of typhoid, but not
genuine typhoid. lie suggested that no
one circumstance could be blamed for
the outbreak, but Il combination of cir
cumstances, in which the continued
damp weather was the chief one.
The board, however, would investi-
gate the milk supply to assure the pub
lie. Food Inspector Widwayer. of
Scranton, will be asked to be present
at the boards meeting Tuesday night of
next week to explain the use of the
milk testing apparatus and to accom-
pany the committee on its tour of in
Spection.
