cessation. Some unknown person
broke into the store of s. l.. Cana

pot We're notified early and went to the
scene with "Old joe" but the clerks
and people had gone into the store and
walked over the track where the thief
had been, and the officers would not
turn the dogs loose.
The people must learn not to track
up the ground if they expect the dogs
to assist them in catching criminals.
Mr. Philpot made run with the dogs
yesterday and the chase was exceed
ingly satisfactory. "Old Joe" is doing
the finest kind of work and Mr.. Phil
pot stated that the dog had never yet
missed any enc when he had fair

Police Ordinance.

The most interesting matter which
session was an ordinance bearing on
the police force of the city, regulating
its numbers. increasing salaries of all
the officers and providing for other
changes from thd present system,
though the material changes predict
ed by some. such as cutting down the
force to minimum limit, were not
provided for in the ordinance. The
ordinance went through two read
ings. and discrepancies having been
found in the provisions of the ordin
ance, it was disposed of by being re-
ferred back to the committee with in
StructiOnS to remedy.
The more important features of the
of the force at its present standing;
an increase in salary Of from $50 to
$40 for the patrolr,en. $77,5O to $50 for
the assistant chief of police and from
$50 to 500 for the chief of police.
The ordinance provided also that
two of the patrolmen should be mount
ed, one of whom should be the stock
officer and by it's terms would invest
in the assistant chief Of police all the
powers of the chief. The second read
of the ordinance brought forth con-
siderable discussion from the mayor,
and the members. Mayor Bell made
the point that both mounted police
should be considered stock officers in
order that the city might have night
and day stock service; that the in
crease in the salaries should be proper
tionate throughout saying that he did
not think it equitable to increase the
salary of the assistant chief $3.50 per
month where the chiefs increase was
only $40, and that it was not wise to
invest the assistant chief of police
with bond of $500, with all the pow
ers of the chief, whose bond was 81
600. and recommended that the bond
of the assistant chief be increased to
$1,000. The aldermen came around to
the mayors belief generally and on
Alderman Fox's motion, the ordn-
ance was laid over until the next
meeting.

Dram Shop Licenses.

The petitions of L. and E. Wertheim-
er and P. J. Francis, asking dram shop
licenses ON East Third avenue. were
read.
Alderman Riley moved that the APP
plication of L. and E. Wertheimer, ask
ing for license for e13 East Third ave

ried. On motion the application of
p. j. Francis for sos East Third avenue
was granted.
The disposition of these two appli-
cations furnished the council an OPP
portunity to discriminate on a ques-
ton Of very delicate nature. and as
the discrimination was committed
there will probably be an interesting
aftermath. L. and f. Wertheimer, the
wholesale liquor men, applied for a
license for 613 East Third avenue.
or the place formerly occupied by
Chas. Lumpkin's negro dive. P. J.
Francis applied for license for sos East
Third, one block above the location
of the Wertheimer application in the
building formerly occupied by Paul
DeWalt's inferno. On the reading of
the application the fine points of dis
elimination We're brought out. Alder
man Riley contended that No 613 was
in the residence district, while No
sos was in business block and that
there was not a single residence be-
tween it and Main street In this the
council at once concurred, notwth
standing Alderman Boyce's note of
warning when he said that the Wer-
theimer's threatened to go to the linn
