Jackson, Oct. 13. The citizens OF
Jackson are finding 1t pretty hard to
keep their CANNES. A mysterious foe
to the dogs is abroad, and is dealing

Jet spaniel or pug is as likely to be-
come his victim as the meanest hound
The police are trying hard to locate
the poisoner but have met with no
success whatever. A humorous fea-
ture of the matter developed this
morning when the mayor received a
letter from bereayed citizen chatg-

The PRACTICE OF ECONOMY.
Suggestion Made by Superintend-
emf of City Schools Regarding
School Supplies.

To che Patrons of the City Puplic
Schools:
The teachers of your schools are
making an earnest effort to have pu-
pills practice economy in the use of
paper. tablets, pencils, pens and ink.
This article is written to ask your
hearty co cooperation; for without it
our efforts will prove futile.
Just how much paper, how many
tablets. pencils, pens. ETC.. any pupil
uses during a school year depends up
on the teacher, the child and the par
ent. but much more upon the child
and parent than the teacher.
One child in the third grade last
wear. did al the work required of the
grade, and did it we'll, yet had but
one fiye-cent tablet the entire session.
Others in the grade, did no better
work, yet used one half dozen or more
tablets. Pupils are instructd to write
on both sides of all paper. Where
tabl cts are | 3ft In the gTaue ioohs
each teacher can and ought to see to
it that these tablets are not torn or
wasted. Again, pencils are lost IN
going to and from school and Oh the
play grounds In order to prevent
these wastes and to teach the child
habits of economy, we have thought
hest to require all pupils from the
first to the seventh grade TO leave
pencils and tablets in desks. We re-
jspectfully suggest that you give them,
especially fifth and sixth grade chill
dren, slate and pencil or tablet and
mcneil at home TO do such work AS
may bo necessary for them TO do there.

Betting has commenced at San Fran

takes place Thursday night.
For the first time since he entered the
professional ranks Hanlon is the long shot
at to 10. Only for his recent draw with
Abe Attel, the San Franciscan would DE
placed more nearly even with the cham
pion. His supporters thought he ought to
take the clever Hebrews measure with
comparative ease, and because he did not
do SO he has dropped a notch In their
estimation.
Another reason for the length of the
odds is the fact that since his arrival here
iCorbett has trained, and those who have
seen him are thoroughly impressed with
the fact that he is not only a fighter of
sturdy mold, but in addition, is genuinely
clever. Poolroom men do not expect the
odds to change much over the present
