SURGERY FOR DOGS.
Their Defects Removed and Their APP
pearance Improved.

From the New York Tribune.
Ornamental surgery in its application o
mankind is very well known. but In its ap-
plication to dogs 1t is thing so new that
the world has heard little of 1t as yet the
world understands the process whereby on
men and women ornamental surgery re-
moves wrinkles, straightens crooked noses
and sets close to the head ears that stick
out It has never heard Of the processes
whereby on dogs straight tail that should
be kinky receives the requisite curls and
twists; whereby King Charles spaniefs
nose that is too long and pendulous is
shortened and turned up: whereby
straight coat is made permanently curly;
whereby marks Of every description are
permanently added to or permanently sub
tracted from dogs at will
In every city 1t is easy to find these dog
specialists-these sculptors of living canine
flesh. The men are, as rule, dog breed
ers. They have kennels, more or less ex-
tensive, where they rear blooded and costly
stock And necessarily an important
branch of their work is this artificial i'm
proving of their dogs; for often by a little
surgical manipulation of a puppy they are
able to increase It's value 200 or 800 per
cent
They are willing to work on other mems
dogs as well as on their own Here Is a list
of their principal operations, together with

There seems to be a way around the
objection of State Treasurer Mcmillan
to the proposed investment of the Per.

the bonds authorized by the recent Leg

the bonds on the ground that they did
O come under the provisions Of the
state constitution.
Among the clauses was n stating
the school fund could be invested In
school corporation bonds. The treas

TO SWEAR FALSELY TO A
CLAIM. .,.

Duluth, May 19. - Several indict.
ments in connection with alleged land
frauds in the Duluth land office dis
trict have beeen returned by the fed
eral grand jury. The indictments are
the result of investigations made by
special land agents into charges that
timber and stone claims were filed by
a large number of persons in pursu-
ance of contracts which lumber firms
instead of for the sole benefit of the
applicants. .
One Of those indicted is Charles p.
Maginnis, the we'll known attorney
and a former receiver of the Duluth
land office. He is charged with sub
orning Annie Stensland to commit
perjury. Several months ago Miss
Stensland entered certain lands in
5-64-14 under the stone and timber
law. According to the laws of the land
Office it was necessary for her to take
oath that she had not
Directly or Indirectly
made any agreement with any persons
by which the title to the land should
nude in whole or in part. to any per-
son except herself, and that the land
was paid for with her own money and
was for her own benefit entirely.
An abstract of the title to the land
shows that it was deede! to George c.
Stone of. this city shortly after the
patent was granted. 1t is claimed in
the indictment that Maginnis suborned
Miss Stensland to enter the above
mentioned land under the stone and
timber act for the benefit of persons
other than herself, and to swear false
ly as to the manner in which she had
secured the money to pay for 1t and
as to the ultimate disposal OF the title
and the ownership of the land.
Maginnis, when asked if he cared 10
say anything about the case, said:
Nothing, except that there is nothing
in any of my dealings before the land
office to be regretted or ashamed of.
