There is by far too many cats and dogs in Bingville at the present writing. We have been thinking of writing a ed- itorial on this qaestshion for some time, but something always interfered. In the meanwhile the cat and dog populashion of Bingville has been on the increase until life within the invirons of our placid village has almost become bur- den as you might say. Take the cats for instance It's as much as a body can do to get nights rest some nights, and on other nights person can't sleep at all. Only last Thursday night the editor and proprietor of the Bugle. which is the best advertising medium in the county, was awoke in still watches of the night by the internal walls of two tomcats who had met un- der our window and was saying things to each other that wasn't fit to listen to. Rising softly from our warm couch we rised the window and picking up a door weight we threw it with all the force of our being at said cats, skin ming our knuckles on the window sash and breaking out two lights of glass, also missing the cats, who adjourned to our back yard and kept up their awful walls until daylight.
 It is hard to retain Christchian spirit and love your neighbor as your self when he owns half dozen cats who insist on singing solos and duets when your head is aching to sleep the sleep of the just When cat has kit tens in Bingville what is done with them1 Are they drowned as they ought to be? No, they are pampered in lux ury and reared up to become nui- saflce and a horrible blotch on the fair reputation of Bingville. What Bing- vile needs is less cats and more babies 10 increase our populashion and give us a place along with the other metrop- olisses of this country.
 Then as to dogs. Dogs are all right in their place when they ain't too many of same, but when a person can't 20 ton of hunting news without stepping on some durn cur and having him bite you in the leg or somewhere else, then II IS 1lRH tliiiC lOi pupiIS dttCiitlOn 10 be called to the matter, Iz Wilkins has bulldog that ain't got enny more right to live than a delinquent sub scriber.

Iz Wilkins dog chased us on the street only last week without provocation and catching up to us, tool, hold of our person and hung on until we had to walk quarter of mile to
 Izze's, with the dog hanging on to our pants, in order to get iz to coax the good joke, which only shows what a depraTed sense of hunior Some people have. When we examined onrself we found the portion of our pants which we had formerly used to sit on was missing. m Why don't the Bingville Board of Health look into this cat and dog nuis- ance? Something ought to be did about it. Subscribe for the Bugle.

Gid smailey hauled II cords of wood for Ramson winslow last week and tried to collect his pay after the job was did. but somehow or other they couldn't agree on how much it was worth and Ramson said he wouldn't pay Cid a red cent after all the sass. Gid got all swet up about It, so he went and hauled every stick of wood back where he hauled 1t from, and said he'd be goshed to hemlock if he'd work for nothin for Ram winslow nor no other man. We think Gid was right about this.

CHAMBERMAID A WONDER
Throws Three Big Men Down Flight
of Stairs in Loop Hotel.

CHICAGO, March 22.-When Charles
Ratkin, James Isakim and John ShOlda
were brought before Municipal Judge
Newcomer in the Harrison street court
to answer to the charge of having bro
ken a window in Loop hotel, No. 107
Fifth avenue, the fact was brought out
that Chicago certainly has one strong
armed woman whose record is enough
to make big men sit up and take notice.
Mrs. Helen Able, the proprietress of
the hotel, was the complaining witness,
and when she was asked to tell her side
Of the story she began addressing the
count in German. Judge Newcomer
called a halt and the woman began to
laugh and finally broke into tears.
Then Miss Annie Fay, chamber
maid at the Loop hotel, told of having
thrown the men downstairs.
"Sure." she said. II did not want to
see any rough house in the hotel. so l
threw them downstairs"
The statement was vouched for by
the three men, who admitted that their
combined efforts were not sufficient to
withstand Miss Fay's attack. Ratkin
weighs about 200 pounds.

HERE'S SOME ADVICE
TO ALASKA PlEASuRERS

There is a world Of advice and eau
ton to be given those intending to
visit Alaska for pleasure-for sight
means; but If you are young. wait. The
scenery of Alaska Is much grander
than anything else Of the kind in the
world and it is not well to dull ones
capacity for enjoyment by seeing the
finest first" So says Mr.. Henry Can
nett of the United States geological
survey in a report on the geography of
Alaska. He might have added that it
would be we'll to take time, before
starting on the journey, to study the
topographic and geologic model of
Alaska which the survey has prepared
and will exhibit at the Jamestown ex-
position.
This model. which has been con-
structed as though it were a portion
Of a globe with diameter of 16 feet
shows the dominant features in an
easily legible manner. The horizon
tai scale is above 40 miles to the inch
and the vertical elevation Is exagger-
ated about five times. For comparison
a small map of the United States with
Alaska on precisely the same scale
printed on it is attached to the model.
1t may thus be realized how extensive
a district Alaska really is. One may
| more easily comprehend therefore that
the climate and character of different
parts of Alaska are as different as
those of Georgia and northern Mime
sofa, or South Carolina and California
The model shows in striking form
that there are four major belts which
differ from adjacent areas in amount
and character of relief. Other features
of some general importance are also
represented on the model such as the
character of the sea floor off the Alas
kan coast and the distribution of the
various deposits of economic import
ance.
AS graphic representation of facts
is always more impressive than a
written statement regarding them.
this model will tell to many minds a
story that the published reports have
failed to make clear.

Phelan is expected to give important
testimony in the water deal whereby
1t was proposed to try the system OF
the Bay Cities company for $1O.4OO.OOO

of securing a healthy system which
was claimed to be far superior and to

stress will be placed upon the fact
that the opposition board expects to be
appointed by the supervisors and was
entirely ignored in the matter and the
purchase of the Bay Cities system was
decided upon.

position to resign. He says he will
