MAD DOG IN VILLAGE.
Mayor and Marshal Have Exciting
Chase to Kill Canine.

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi, Feb. s.
Mad dogs are reported in several vii
lagos in this vicinity, and the village
of Tintah had an exciting time with
them yesterday. A strange canine,
splendid looking specimen of doghood,
appeared in the village during the day.
and after acting queerly for some time
bit several other dogs. Mayor Collins
and the village marshal started in pur-
suit, whereupon the dog headed
straight for the mayors premises and
bit a dog officially valued highly by
That official. The animal was finally
shot. and all of the dogs that he had
bitten shared a like fate. The village
council was hastily called in special
session to adopt a resolution calling on
all owners to muzzle their dogs without
delay. Those that are found unmuz-
zled will be shot without further warn
ing
The Parkers Prairie tombstone case,
which has been watched with some in
terest, has been amicably settled, and
the monument remains undisturbed on
the grave where it was erected. The
Northwestern Marble works secured
Judgment against Engvald Everson a
short time ago for $12S for tomb
stone, and an execution was issued and
placed in the hands of the sheriff for
service. The sheriff objected vigorous
ly to levying on a tombstone, but it be-
came his duty to do so unless he could
find other property, and he undertook
the task with reluctance. On confer
ring with Everson, he found him quite
willing to pay. and after a little ne
goitation, the necessary money was
raised to clear up the judgment, leav-
ing the monument undisturbed.
A new ordinance, providing that
wood shall be officially measured
and coal, hay and straw officially
weighed, has been adopted by the city
council here The ordinance is aimed
at those who have been giving short
weight and measure, and it is the gen.
eral opinion that it was needed. The
aid of the official weigher is to be in
yoked on request of the purchaser,
and any attempt to evade the provi-
sions of the ordinance subjects the sell
Ter to a heavy fine.

Plea to Pie Verse Makers.

HKERE lie with my eye,
~ That was quite serene and dry,
N Reading Arabella Fuzzywillow's
lode to Pumpkin Pie
In the Summerville Gazette,
And my dry eye has grown wet
Till my tears, they course in rivers down
the silken coverlet.
On my word, am stirred,
And my eyes are red and blurred:
IT'S the Aundred-forty-s second no, the
hundred -forty-third-
have read. till my head
Pines for poems of plain bread.
But the poets of our childhood give u
pumpkin pies instead.
Then lie and cry
Out aloud and wonder why
All the sweetness Of our poets finds its
source In pumpkin pie.
Is 1t so that they grow
Naught but pumpkins-that they SOW
Nothing else on Mount Parnassus or In
valleys down below?
In the fall when the call
OF the harvester is all
We may hear and when the cornstalks
rustic mournfully, so tall,
Is there "hop'' in the crop
And the yellow pumpkin top?
For 1t seems the pie verse makers, they
will never, never stop.
In the news, in reviews
Well, 1t seems they quite abuse
Both the confidence Of readers and the
patience of the muse,
For they stand with one hand
Holding out the pumpkin brand
OF pies Imaginary. pointing back to Boy
hood land.
Can 1t be they think we
All Of us-both you and me-
Must be specialized with pie tins-pump-
kin pie tins-if we'd see
What we knew, I and you,
Ere our boyhood days were through.
When the sunlight redly cleaning and the
skies were clear and blue?
So say, poet, pray
Stay thy ruthless hand, pray!
If to pies thy fancy wanders, give the
apple right of way.
Mother hints she made mince,
She made apple and made ounce,
Quite as good as that one pumpkin you've
been versifying since.

The Belcher Artesian Well.

The Belcher we'll in st. Louis is one
Of the famous artesian wells of the
world. The boring of it was begun in
the spring of 1949 by William II. Bel
cher who had a sugar refinery near the
river a few blocks north of where the
Eads bridge now is. After the expendi-
ture of $4,000 the we'll was in 1854
driven to depth Of 2,199 feet, where a
flow of seventy-fve gallons minute
was struck, but the water proved to be
so impregnated with mineral matter
that it was unfit for use in the sugar
refinery, for which Mr.. Belcher wanted
it. 1t is used now only for medicinal
purposes and for sanitary baths.-St

WILL FIGHT FOR HOMES.
Settlers in Forest Reserve Appeal to
Washington for Relief

CUSTER, S. D., Feb. 5.-The farm
ers of Custer county will fight to the
bitter end for their names and their
little houses and belongings. The re-
cent ruling providing that only ranch
ers in the forest reserve who had set
tied on their land prior to 1898 might
prove up is working a great hard
ship to many men who were endeavor-
ing to make homes for themselves ana
their families. Many men moved out
here since 1898 and any others having
used their homestead rights, settled
here believing they would not be dis
turbed. Then, one year ago came the
order that all fences on land not pat
ented must come down.
Threats of burning fences. setting
fire to the forests and of kindred dar-
ing deeds We're made. No man could
make a living if his fences had to
come down, and many an old couple
who thought they had found a rest for
their declining years looked to see
themselves once more adrift. So great
was the uproar that stay Of proceed
ings was at last granted to sive the
ranchers time in which to arrive at
some conclusion with the government
An effort is now being made to have q
law passed that will permit all bona
fide settlers, no matter when they To-
Gated here or whether they have used
their homestead right or not to gain a
title to their land by the payment OF
$3.50 an acre.
Custer county is especially interest
ed in this movement. as so large a
number of the ranchers were about to
be elected that the population, already
small, would nave been seriously af-
fected- A considerable amount OF
money has been raised and State Sena-
tor w. F. Hanley. formerly cashier of
the First National bank, has gone to
Washington to plead the cause of the
people and to make an effort to secure
titles for them to their homes.

TRICK WITH DOMiNOES.
4 Feat That VIII Puzzle Those Not
In the Secret.

y Feat Tn0t VIII fuzzle VnOoe MOI
In the Secret.
An interesting feat can be performed
with the dominoes, which the operator
announces as follows: Il will lay the
dominoes in a line, one beside another,
lying on their faces and making one
black line. Now will go into the next
room, with my eyes as closely covered
as you may desire. In my absence you
may take from the line any number Of
dominoes you please provided you take
them from that end which is now at
my right hand and place them at the
opposite end, so that, except for the
change in the places Of the piece, the
line Is just the same as before. On my
return, without unbandaging my eyes,
1 will tell you the number transported
from one end to the other. I will do
more. From the midst Of these domi-
noes, of which you have changed the
position, l will draw one which, by the
addition Of its spots, will tell you ex-
actly the number which you took from
fight to left After they have made the
change count with your fingers-if your
eyes are bandaged-the dominoes from
left to right as far as the thirteenth.
The spots on this thirteenth will inva-
riably represent the number of domi-
noes whose position has been altered.
But in forming the line originally you
must have arranged the first thirteen
dominoes, beginning at the left, so that
the spots on the first form the number
II, of the second II, Of the third 10,
and so on up to double blank for the
last and thirteenth. You place the 9TH
er dominoes afterward in the order in
which they happen to present them
selves"

A Hostess and an Emergency.

Lady X had sent Parnell an invita-
ton to dinner, but Charles, who was
very absentminded with respect to So
cial functions and unconventional in
the extreme, had forgotten the right
date Of the party. He therefore turn

an hour before the time Lady K,
glad to have him on any terms, did
not undeceive him as to his error. but
hastily sent off several notes explain
ing the situation and asking some OF
her most intimate friends to help her
in her emergency. She also ordered q
hastily improvised dinner from q near
caterer's of Parnell.

A Difference of Opinion.

The teacher Of an uptown school gave
her pupils little lecture on the evils
Of indulging in strong drink and es-
pecially on the damage it wrought the
human stomach, and she was much
gratified by the attention and interest
shown by the small listeners.
But the next morning she was con-
fronted by a small boy whose insistent
right hand quickly attracted her atten-
ton.
What is it, Johnnie?" she asked.
"Please, teacher" the small boy an
swered, my father says that whisky
is a very good thing for your stom-
ach on pretty cold morning"
And the teacher realized that part of
her lesson had fallen on stony ground.

What UmatiIIa Will Do.

1T is, of course, apparent to your
board that this Improvement for new
roads is universal throughout the en-
tire west, and that the demand for
better roads is so universal that event
ually Walla Walla county must get
into line In this connection l may say
that Umatilla county will improve
what is known as the Milton Middle
road from Milton to the state line, and
a representative from that county will
meet you at your present session and
propose that your board catch up that
Improvement at the state line and ex-
tend it to Walla Walla. 1t may we'll
be. if you did, that it would do away
with the necessity of improving some
other road petitioned for down that
way, but as there will be nothing for
you to do for a few days excepting to
set a time for the hearing upon these
petitions, think l can be able to re-
turn mere before you would act hereon

Nav Pay From Funds.

Another matter which you should
consider is the state of the finances
of the county and of the several road
districts in which the Improvements
are located / think that considering
where these proposed improvements
lie. the distance which material will
have to be hauled, ETC., will on an
average cost $4,000 per mile There
will certainly be 10 miles, and perhaps
Is or 20, petitioned for in all, and if
all are granted, the county and road
districts would become obligated for
the payment of $4,000 to $4,000 as
soon as the improvements are ordered,
which, 1 think, under the law, so far
as the county is concerned, could be
paid from either its road and bridge
fund or the general county funds.
ION the other hand it may well be
that you would, upon a consideration
of all the petitions, decide upon the
construction of a less number than all
the petitions, and in view of the fact
that these petitions will continue to
come in from this time on for an in
definite period, and in order that you
may have a full understanding at the
start it might be we'll to take up these
various petitions with the petitions,
set day in the near future by an
order of the board, for the considera-
ton of the same: figure on the amount
of available funds and especially of the
road districts; decide upon which, if
any, of the improvements you will at
once make and at the time fixed for
the hearing be ready without making
any special cost for preliminary work
to act upon the petitions. There is no
time fixed by law for such hearing, SO
if you want to have it at the present
meeting or at an adjourned meeting
