Doos Will Catch 1t Next.

Do you have a tag on your dog?
If not you had better run to the City
Clerks office and get one before
your canine is offered mp as sacri-
fee to the ordinances of Fairmont.
Mayor kinsey says he must en-
force the law The ordinance relat-
ing to dogs is very strict. Any per-
son who owns a dog must report it
to the assessor, or be fined.
The ordinance further provides that
every dog must wear tag with
number attached. a record OF which
must be Kept in the Clerks office.
Any dog found without such tag is to
be taken up by the police and kept
one week, and if not claimed at the
end OF that time, the animal is to be
killed unless some one wishes to
purchase him: in that case the money
goes to the general city fund.
If the Mayor does enforce this law,
and it is likely that he will. something
will be done with the band Of worth
less ours that howl around, disturb
ing our peaceful slumber in the wee
small hours.
But the ordinance applies also to
our parlor pets. If the people don't
want their hearts broken by having
cir pets taken away from them they
had better get the tags.

London, Dec. ia dash from Port

In which detection by the Japanese war

The boat ran into dock at Chefoo just

They wore civilian dress, but evidently
were military nen of rank.
They created sensation in the Chi

brought news of the fall of Port Arthur
This they denied, but refused to talk
further. They left man in charge of
their boat. He was sailor and directed
the run from Port Arthur.

Gained more than an hour. Then the
wind sprang up and they slipped along
shore. They shot into searchlight
beams again and again. Once they
nearly were run down by destroyer.
The wind alone saved them. 1t fresh
ened to gale and heavy sea accom-
panied it. They took desperate chance,
headed for the open sea and ran before
the wind almost to Chefoo. They made
the port without mishap.
Their mysterious mission is causing
anxiety among the few members of the
diplomatic service now in Chefoo.
Gen. Stoessel Wounded.
LONDON, Dec. 17.-Gen. Stoessel, the
Russian military commander at Port

Chefoo to the Daily Telegraph, has
again been wounded, this time by a
rifle bullet. The correspondent adds
that the wound is not serious.

Picking, Dec. flowing to the fact
that there are about 10000 homeless
Chinese in and around Mukden as one re-
suit Of the Russo-Japanese war, rich
Chinese here and at Tientsin have sub
scribed funds to provide warm clothing
and food for these poor people.
Out of these funds about 10000 skin
coats have been purchased and as
sembled at Tientsin, where they have
been made ready for dispatch to Muk-
den. The Japanese military authori-
ties, however, fearing that the Russians
would benefit by these gifts, refuse to
allow them to be sent to the Russian
lines, and threaten to confscate them II
captured. The Russians, it has been
learned, promise to refrain from taking
the advantage feared by the japanese,
but the latter decline to accept this as
spranee, and the result must be disas-
trous to the Chinese, whose villages and
crops have been destroyed and who are
pgw suffering from scarcity of both
food and fuel.
