THAT u W experience has

greater blow to genuine temper
ance was ever struck thar when the
law was repealed"

AT WAR OVER STREET PAVING.

Two DeaAWOOd Citizens Sue for In
junction. Us
Charging that three of the alder
me had voted against paving in front
of their w properties, but had COM
peeled it elsewhere, n alleging other
tactics they term unfair, Thomas
Whitaker and Franklin d. Smith, two
of the prominent taxpayers of Dead
wood, have begun injunction pro-
%ceedings in an effort to prevent the
city from carrying out Its paving
plans. Ever since the city council
recently adopted brick paving and or
dered the work to start there has been
a bitter fight between those for ard
against. Messrs. Smith and Whitta-
ker also allege hat the railroads have
been favored by the three aldermen
in question and that neither the Sur
lington nor Northwestern will be
obliged to pave in front Of their prop
critics.

Doqs Added to German Menus.

From the Philadelphia North American.
 According to United States Counsel George N. lift, at Annaberg, Germany. no fewer than 1000 dogs of various kinds were eaten by the subjects of the Kaiser last year.
 During the same period 1S2,000 horses were slaughtered for human food
 So accustomed have the Germans be- come to horse meat, says Consul lift, that one frequently sees it's price quoted in advertisements in the papers of the empire.
 Most German cities. he states, have at least one market where horse meat is a speciality. It is claimed for this meat that it contains a higher percen- tage of nutriment than beef, veal, nut ton or pork.
 Neither is it unusual to find adver- tisements of dog meat or for the pur- chase of dogs for slaughter he says. Tn the city of Cassel recently the police in searching for lost dog, dis covered a private slaughter house and arrested the proprietors, who were ap- parently making a regular business of stealing and killing dogs"
 In the city of Chemnitz alone 69S dogs were slaughtered for human food in 1906, this being an increase of SS over the previous year.

The phrases represent most truly the things that were said, but the writer was not aware tbat he had attributed to these English speak CTS three Americanisms never round on the tongues of the old country-littie daiiy Americanisms of which Americans are hardly conscious.

The property holders along Avenue E from Twentieth street to the city limits will petition the city council at their next meeting, which will be held Thursday night, to continue the bitu- tithic pavement along Avenue E. There is little doubt but that the city fathers will take favorable action on this proposition as the street will be torn up in the near future to lay the new street railway the material for which is already on the ground. In fact work has already commenced. Avenue E will always be the main thoroughfare of Ensley. and the improvement suggested will add much to it's appearance.
