smuggling Dog
Finally Caught

Brussels, March 2S.-The Official or
gan Of the Belgian customs depart
ment mentions the death Of q notori.
Gus smuggler's dog which earned for
his master a modest competence. The
latter at first made frequent innocent
trips with his big rough-coated com.
panion across the frontier, until the
customs officers had become quite
friendly with him. Then his time for
action came. He shaved the dog,
wound costly lace tightly round its
body and put over this a skin closely
resembling the dogs own. For Ave
years the dog almost daily trotted
with a valuable hidden burden Of lace
across the border into French terri
tory, and probably the fraud would
sill be going on had the secret not
been betrayed by an acquaintance.
The faithful dog came 10 an untime-
ly end by a revolver bullet.
Dogs are often used. it appears, 10
run with dutiable goods across the
frontier. This they are taught 10 do
by a course Of training which includes
sound beatings at regular intervals by
, men dressed as customs officials, SO
that the poor animals run away ter
ror-stricken from the sight Of a uni
form.

A few days ago Congressman Liy

The Non.Partisan Ticket.

1t was distinctly a victory for good
government when the two parties got
together and agreed on a single tick.
ct for the coming city election. eqnal'
ly divided between the two parties.
The government Of small cities
should be essentially a pro bono pub
lico affair. The officers pay nothing
and the work OF the mayor and al
dermen Is gratuitous, and they should
not be subjected to the demands and
expense OF a campaign for votes.
There can be no possible question Of
party politics in local affairs In Las
Vegas.
The usual criticism against there
hybrid tickets is that there is nc
party responsibility. no real head po
litically which a be called to &C
count. but In the present case this II
not so, for, by dividing up the offices
the party which names the men Will
be az surely held to an accountability
for their work as II they had been
elected on a regular party ticket.

Norfolk, Va. March 2S.-Since the

sition offered = prize for a suitable
emblem to use upon It's stationery and
future advertising. letters have come
from all parts Of the country bearing
suggestions.
The 500 offered to the successful
contestant In this competition was not
hedged with restrictions, because the
belief was that few professionals
| would enter the contest. and that the
selected design would perhaps be sub
ject to many notifications.
The contrary has proven true.
Many men Of mark in the world Of art
have written for details and re-
questing as much time as possible for
the preparation Of their suggestions.
No time limit was placed at first,
but now II has been decided to keep
the competition open until the first Of
May.
The appeal to the ingenuity Of the
American people has certainly been
justified bv events, and the diversity
Of ideas Is certainly remarkable. Incl.

llmitlno Saloons.

IL seems almost ABSURD 10 imagine
the saloon keepers and brewers in
Chicago joining hands with the TEN.
perance people TO limit the number
Of saloons. but this Is just what they
are doing and the measure IL ure 10
pass the city council.
Under the present conditions Chica-
20 has $3.50 saloons or one saloon
to every 231 Inhabitants.
The new ordinance limits the mum.
Der to one to every 500 Inhabitants.
thus cutting down the number OF
joints just about 80 per cent.
No new licenses will be issued for
at least twelve years, and as old
licenses will b Z valuable asset, sa'
loon Keepers will be very careful
about disobeying the laws. as any In.
fraction Of the law renderA their H.
cense liable to cancellation by the
mayor.
The brewers and wholesale liquor
dealers own almost 65 per cent. OF
Chicago's saloons now and they feel
that the business will be kept on a
more respectable level and be run by
men OF better character.
Under present arrangements
brewery will own MS high as 300 sa
looms. They pay the license, furnish
fixtures, room, etc, and rent the prop
erty to some man on a percentage ba
sis.
The recent law in Chicago MAKING
a $1,000 license for saloons goes In
to effect on April first, and the indi
cations are that only a small mum

Owing to some health complications
which originated at Yokohama the Oc-
cidental & Oriental s. S. Coptic, ar
irving yesterday forenoon from the
Orient, was placed in quarantine in the
harbor and as she now lies alongside
at the fore. A supposed case of plague
which the japanese health authorities
at Yokohama claimed to exist in the
person of the Chinese boatswain of the
Coptic caused the vessel to be detained
in quarantine at Yokohama for two
days.
On the voyage between Yokohama
and Honolulu Japanese steerage pas
senger developed a case Of pneumonia
and there being some suspicious marks
about the illness, following upon that
of the boatswain at Yokohama, DR..
Ramus, in charge of the Marine Hos
pital Service here, ordered the flag to
continue flying at the foremast and the
vessel to be fumigated and the steer
age passengers sent to Quarantine Is
land for observation.
While at Yokohama the boatswain
was signed off and the vessel was
making ready TO depart for Honolulu.
On the vessel at the last moment were
a number of Yokohama residents. The
japanese health authorities suddenly
decided that the case Of the boatswain
warranted drastic measures being taxi

body aboard into quarantine. For two
