TWO PLAIN DRUNKs RUN IN.

Things were very quiet around the va
rious courts of justice today. The magis-

nothing but few minor civil cases on
hand. Two plain drunks were run in
by the city police, but outside of this
nothing of any consequence at all has
disturbed The monotony at police head
quarters.

A Plea For a Dog Tax.

A great effort Is being made from
east TO west for civic Improvement
Articles have been written on 1t and
published In the prominent maya
zines, and great strides towards beau
tifying the cities Of the United States
may be expected in the near future.
The first steps in this direction will
be modest ones, and will begin at
home in beautifying our owr grounds
and helping the city in its efforts to
keep our streets in good condition, by
seeing that they are neatly kept near
our own homes.
But beyond this what can the peo-
pie Of Mineral Point do, and how can
they even have good gardens while
the town is so overrun with dogs?
Nice grounds and gardens are almost
impossible, even porches and door
mats are protected from them with
difficulty, and often both night and
early morning are made hideous by
their bowls. They seem to be every
where, and not only accompany the
butchers wagon but are often in the
wagon itself, 49, and one instinctively
upon vegitarianism.
II the gardens and comforts Of
those who do not keep dogs are de.
stroyed by the dogs Of those who do,
hould there not be some recompense,
and why does not our city reap Il =
benefit OF n dog tax? Other towns Of
its size have this law strictly enforced,
and Judging from the number of dogs
constantly seen on our streets nice
sum could annually be added to the
city's income.
This Is more of plea for the com
fort and gardens OF those who are
fond Of beautifying their homes than
1t Is for the dog tax, and it seems
only just that they should at least
have the solace OF knowing that these
disturbers aud destroyers of their
efforts are contributing to the city's
support. A Taxpayer.

THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1903.

Mr.. Cleveland Is not a candidate
for the presidency: but there are
many things happening that may lead
to his nomination in spite OF himself
and in spite Of Mr.. Bryan and Broth
or Watterson. Every sarcastic thing
the gifted but erratic Watterson says
of Mr.. Cleveland sets people thinking
OF the sturdy, true reside He was
not always tactful, but he was honest
and strong. He cared more for the
public service than for personal or
partisan friends. He had but to be
convinced that a certain course was
right and he pursued 1t whether
friends or foes stood In the path.
People may decry him. He has few
OF the ad capilandum qualities; but
all men Of all parties felt safe when
he was president. There are many
conservative republicans who regard
Mr.. Cleveland as safer man than
the impulsive, bellicOse, strenuous
Roosevelt. To make ~ long story
short, II Mr.. Cleveland Is nominated
for third term 1t will be brought
about by the opposition OF his en-
emes instead Of the labOrs Of his
friends. The people have n way, you
know, OF loving MN TOT inc cnclllles
he has made rather than for the
friends he has captiyated. Madison

We do not believe that Mr.. CleVe-
land Is In any sense II candidate FOR
the presidency; but it Is plainly evil
dent that no Is growing again In pop
ularity. The people are beginning to
realize how we'll he served his country
In time Of great need, He 10 known
OF all men for his honesty and cour-
age, and the wisdom OF his policies
has been demonstrated by the logic OF
events. When the historians writeth
up the people they will rehearse it
that one Of the best presidents the
United States ever had was Grover
Cleveland. That he Is again becom-
ing potential In national politics Is in
accordance with the wisdom of the
sober second thought Of the American
people

In aiding international arbitration
this country Is doing the blessed work
OF the peaccmaker. In regard TO this
work the Milwaukee journal says:
That the United States should be
leader In tho great movement for In
ternational arbitration IL fitting. The
movement Is the most vital one In
world politics, and it's success up to
the present Is due very largely to In
Iluences from this country. The pro-
gress during the past year has been
remarkable beyond the expectation
Of It's most sanguinc advocates.
IL ought TO be matter Of pride to
every American that this country IL
taking n leading pnrt in the move

to four arbitrations during the year,
but It's attitude in the recent Nenc2ue-

GIRL ACCUSES GUARDIAN
OF ABUSE OF HER TRUST
Elva Tompkins Claims Mrs. Kate
Moseley Is Not Taking Good
Care Of Her Interests.

The powers of Mrs. Kate Moseley, as
guardian of Elva Tompkins, a 17-year-old
girl, were suspended by the Superior
Court yesterday pending an investigation
into her conduct as guardian. The sus-
pension of Mrs. Moseley is due to the
filing of a petition by Miss Tompltps IN
which she charges that her guardian has
abused her trust
According to the petition Mrs. Moseley
has given her son, Frank Moseley, a gem
eral power of attorney over the estate of
her ward. Miss Tompkins says that
Moseley has used 1t to further his own
ends and has made out for himself a bill
Of sale of a one-half interest in the small
store that comprises her estate. She says
that she has received nothing from him
for her interest and says that Moseley
has not given a cent to his mother on her
account. Miss Tompkins also says that
the Moseleys have taken her from school
and have informed her that she must
seek employment.
