Meal Sack and Lantern
To Suppress All Cats
SionerS Have DeCreed-Tax and Tag or
to the Pound With puSS

Citizens who object to backyard cats
will be rid of them. On this the Board
of District Commissioners stands as a
unit Troublesome felines will be taxed,
and will be allowed to run at large only
after their owners have secured tags
for them as is now done in the case OF
dogs.
Provision will be made for impounding
those whose owners have been delin-
quent in paying the taxes set on them.
Some plan will be adopted for killing
all untagged cats. What the rate of
taxation on the cat family will be Is as
Yet undecided. but it is certain that
such a tax will materially swell the
District revenues.
Cat Population 10000.
1t is roughly estimated that there are
about 5000 dwelling houses in the Dis
trict. and to give an average of two
cats to each backyard is a conservative
count. Even with this figure. however.
there would be a feline population Of
10000 in the District. The present dog
tax is 81 per dog annually. If the tax
on cats were put as low as 81 per cat,
the profit to the District would be
$4,000
That these things viii become facts
at the next session Of Congress is as
sured. 1t is known that the District
commissioners all favor the defamation
OF cats, and thus minimizing the volume

many city jewellers are helplessly sub

the matter before the next session of
Congress. Then, however, We will make
our recommendations. 1t has not been
determined just what the steps are that
will deal most effectively with the cat

Commissioners is to deal with them as

abroad only beneath the starlight and
in the gloom of the back yards. 1t Is
presumed that a special force Of inspec-
tors VIII be employed to lie in ambush

Lantern and Meal Sack.
These inspectors, It is said. will be
provided with a dark lantern and a
meal sack. With these unusual weap-
ons they will sally forth at dead Of
night to indulge in their detective work
This will be, it is claimed. a training
school for the regular detective branch

How the cats are to be killed when
their taxes are unpaid is q problem OF
no mean significance That a drug will
be found strong enough 70 do away with
their nine lives is highly improbable.
That the superstitiOus dread Of killing a
cat will make IT difficult to secure an
executioner is expected.
Nevertheless. the authorities are de-
termined TO cut out the backyard sere-
nades, and IL will be done The pro-
tests Of the citizens have been heard
with favor.

ONLY TWO CHICKENS
SACRIFICED To WAR.
Military Fulfill Their Promise to the
Virginia Farmers

GAINESVILLE, Va, Sept 2.-Five
thousand regular army troops have
been roaming a territory comprising
IS, 900 acres of Virginia farms for near
.ly two weeks and. the only depreda-
tions reported thus far has been the
loss of two chickens. This record is a
gratifying surprise even to the regu-
lar army officers and is an example to
the militiamen who are to pour into the
two maneuver camps tomorrow. When
the farmers of the maneuver zone were
approached by army officers with a
proposition to. lease their lands for the
maneuvers they were given pledges
that there would be no depredations
These promises have been fulfilled to
the letter. Officers will be in the field
during the maneuvers, charged with
the duty of interviewing farmers at
once and agreeing, If possible, with
them on the amount of damage done. :
The programme of practice marches
and scouting for the, purpose of gain
ing familiarity with the country was
continued today. Most Of the militia
which are to participate in the maneu-
yers are now on their way and will
begin to arrive early tomorrow morn

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept 3.AThrough
conference of the hackers of the different
clubs decision has been reached where
by, the circuit of the Northern league
next year viii consist of eight clubs.
This Is the definite conclusion and the
promoters of the organization have set
to work to carry out the plan, and re-
ports will sbe submitted soon after the
first of the year when. the annual meet

succeed D. j. Laxdal is to be chosen.
Since, the close of the season, which
was SO disastrous for the hackers of the
different teams. the club owners have been
encouraged Soyer new plan which has
been broached. In the belief that it can
be turned to profit Every effort will be
made to preserve the game for the
Northwest. and it is believed that II the
season IS started on less ambitious lines
it can be carried through successfully.
Superior and crookston Out
The league will have as a nucleus
around which to build, clubs in Duluth,
Winnipeg, Fargo and Grand Forks, 1t
has been decided that Superior and
Crookston have forfeited all rights to
place in the league and neither will be
given franchises next year. Neither fin
ished the season. according to the agree

club, as a guarantee that they would keep

Under this arrangement it will be neces-
sary for the league to place clubs in four
new towns, and If this is to be done 1t
Will be necessary to get an early start.
Emlssaries Of thesleague will be sent to
some of the most thriving towns within
easy reach and the baseball spirit there
Will be tested. 1t is not the present in
tention to spread further east from Du-
luth and the copper country idea has been
given up. That territory will be left to
its present arrangement.

field. Brainerd Is also an applicant for
the place, and st. Cloud also wants to
enter the ring. Lisbon, N. D., supported
a strong. independent team this year, and
N. D., also has much of the baseball
spirit and is looked upon with favor.
Managers who are now in the circuit
assert that they are in favor of securing
as many college players as possible for
the Northern league next season. The

SO that no more than ten players can be
