PUBLIC OPINION.
ditor of EVENING NEWS:

Editor of EVENING NEWS:
About a month ago the township
committee passed a resolution auth
orizing the clerk to post notices that
after September 20 all dogs found
running at large in the township not
licensed or muzzled would be shot.
We read in last weeks paper that
two hundred dogs were registered
and it is safe to say there are two
thousand dogs running the streets
not licensed. We also understand
the police officers have been notified
TO do their duty and carry out the
above resolution. At present we
have not seer or heard. of a single
dog being shot. Is it because the
officers are afraid or firearms or is ii
because the chairman of the COM
mittee is afraid he will loose a few
votes on election day If this resolu-
ton is carried out?

WANTS TO RETURN TO JAIL
Woman Asks Warden to Take Hel
Back to Prison Home to Com
plete Sentence.

Leavenworth. Kan.-In the mail to
Warden Jewett came an odd request. A
woman asked to be locked in the peIi-
Tertiary to serve a sentence.
The woman who makes this request
is Miss Rosa Northcott. of Crawford
county. She was convicted of man
slaughter in the fourth degree about
eight months ago and sen to the state
penitentiary for a term of one year.
There were eXtenuating circum-
stances connected with her case, and at
the state penitentiary she was looked
upon as victim of circumstances. which
she was not able to overcome. She was
also a good. obedient prisoner, anG
when she applied for a pardon her cas-
was acted upon promptly.
The pardon board did not wish TO
grant the young lady a full pardon so
soon. but unanimously agreed to give her
freedom conditionally.
She was granted a parole and on MAY
26 last she left the prison happy and
smiling. She went to the home of friends
in Crawford county. who agreed to look
after her interests and give her a good
home.
After spending three months with
friends she has decided that she likes
the prison home better. and she will be
allowed to come back. In her letter to
the warden she says she is dissatisfied
with her home in Crawford county and
frankly c%onfesses that the people with
whom she is living are dissatisfied with
her.

WHY DOES
A BABY CRY?

Because it is either hun
cry or in pain. Properly
nourished it will usually grow
up right and be comfortable
that's the principal thing
for a baby. If its food lacks
strength and nourishment
add SCOTS Emulsion at feed
ing time. A few drops will
show surprising results. If a
baby is plump it is reason
ably safe. SCOTS Emulsion
makes babies plump.

AND WE'D A DWARF
Girl of Good Family Afterward Be-
came Blind and a Pauper-
Death Follows.

Freeland. Pa.-She who was known
and always referred to as 1.-The blind
woman" and who for ten years lived
in a cabin near here with her dwarfed
husband, Little Willie Hart" is dead.
The latter was a laborer on her
fathers John Kenyon farm near
Cortland nearly 30 years ago. There
were promising suitors for the daugh-
ter's hand, but she eloped with the
dwarf. The family searched for her
for years and finally gave up, believ-
ing he, dead. s.
Hart was physically disabled, and
eventually they became wanderers.
Through illness Mrs. Hart lost her eye
sight. Ten years ago they drifted into
Freeland. The woman was led from
6oor to door by her husband, who
gave her at least devotion and con-
stancy. They have been wards of pub
lie charity since.
A few days ago DR.. Neale, of this
city. who occasionally treated the wo-
man. impressed by his blind patients
gentle manner and evident culture,
took interest in her and learned that
her brother. too. was a physician. In
quiry by DR.. Neale located the brother,
who is DR.. Kenyon, of San Francisco
president of the California Medical So
ciety.
All those year the brother had been
in search of his sister. and the com
m%unication of DR.. Neale quickly cs
tablished her identity. But death
came before the brother could reace
her.

BURNED THE ARMY CLUB.
Result of Crusade Against Beer Dis
pensaries.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Sept. 4.-The
most sensational development in a warm
crusade against several dispensaries Of
beer close to the army post in Chicka-
mauga Park was the mysterious burn
ing of one of them at 3 O'Clock Sunday
morning. The fire was undoubtedly
of incendiary origin, as none of the peo-
pie employed at the place had been
about it for several hours. The loss
was about $1,000.
The dispensaries near the post are
operated as clubs, and only soldiers
whose names are enrolled us members
are supposed to be able to get drinks.
1t has been charged recently, however,
that any one who has money to pay for
drink could get it. Last week the
proprietor of one of the clubs and
several of his employees were indicted
by the Walker County Grand Jury,
North Georgia farmers have stated re-
peatedly that they would put the clubs
out of business Many of the officers
of the Twelfth Cavalry have expressed
themselves in favor of the clubs on the
ground that they took the place of the
army canteen and prevented the sol
diers from coming to the city and get
ting drunk.
