nied and the petitioners given leave to withdraw. The law committee al- so recommended that Frank E. Ben ham be named to represent the city in passing upon the value of the horses belonging to H. NJ. Rigney; that had to be killed on account of being bitten by a rabid dog, and that H. D. Hotchkiss act for the city re- garding the value of cow owned by Alfred H. Lane, killed because of bite of rabid dog. The recommends ton were approved.
 Several recommendations from the committee on abatements were adopt ed. With reference to the request of EXC Collector Hunt that bad bills amounted to $2,215 it was voted on motion if Mr LarkIn that they be given to E. k. Perkins to collect. for fifty cents on the dollar. Alderman Noonan didn't quite like this plan and appeared to have some doubts if the board had any right to turn the bills over to anybody except the col lector. He wanted to know if MT Perkins would be required to furnish bond, but nobody appeared to know, but MT Goss did reply, in an under tone that nobody but Mir Hunt had right to sign receipts for these bills.
 Alderman Bowe made another at- tempt to protect human beings from the rabid dog, but he received scant support. He asked that the draft of an ordinance submitted by him some time ago, be withdrawn and intro duced another one instead. His re- quest was complied with. but when the second one came before the meet. ing it was promptly tabled on motion of Mir Fitzsimons. The gist of the new draft was that dogs he kept off the public highways from May 15 to September 15 and that the officers he instructed to pick up all wandering canines and take them to pound, where they would be detained until somebody claimed them. In the type written copy submitted the letter "u'' was dropped from the word "pound'' making 1t read 'pond," but Mir Bowe promptly informed the clerk that this was simply slip of the typewriter and that the intention was to use the word pound, not pond. In accordance with statute provision the commit tee on law recommended the usual jury list of 12S names. It was ap- proved.
 All the recommendation of the board of public works, printed here in before, were approved. with the ex- ception that Rose street be laid out The street is already laid out and the recommendation was sent back with that point of information. These rec concentrations include the layout of Jackson street from Bank street to West Main street at an estimated ex- pense of S1O.O00, which was passed along to the bureau of assessment.
 The usual appropriation of S100 fol Memorial day, was made on request of committee from Wadham's post G. A. R.

It was voted to issue s1J0,00O worth of street improvement bonds, 4 per cent bids to be received on June 10.
 July of the present year was set as the last day for completing side walks that have been ordered at va rious times by the board and those property owners who have not com pleted the work at that time will meet with legal action.
 Jerome W. Walker, an old soldier now over 70. asked for refund of $2O, paid by him for poll and military tax. It was referred to the commit tee on abatements. The communica- ton from the board of charities ask Ing that action be taken to have the railroad people replace fence taken down by them at the Brookside home property, was adopted. The vote passed by the board in 1906 ordering a discontinuence of the layout of Lib erty street from Bank street easterly was rescinded and the board of public works author ized to hold hearings on a layout at this point.

GALENA VS. V|N|TA
Our Football Team Shamefully
Treated at Galena.

With their souls briming over with
enthusiasm and swelled up with JOY
over the prospective victory that
awaited them, the Vihita football
team bearded the eastbound Frisco
train Sunday morning, bound for Ca
lena, Kansas, to play return game
with the aggregation that played here
few Sundays ago and were defeated
by a score Of to 5.
Upon their arrival at Galena the
Vinita boys we're escorted to a cheap
chilli Joint located Oh back alley for
dinner, and we're given dirty, vacant
room; withouta fire, in which, TO dress
and deposit their personal belongings.
Our boys amused themselves as best
they could until time for the game to
be called, and after that the real enter
tainment began. 1t was a slugging
match from start to finish, and during
the entire progress Of the game the
Vinita boys were subjected 70 the
most rufflan treatment ever accorded
body of men on the gridiron. The
rooters Joined with the Galena team
and assaults upon our boys were fire.
duent and of a most Vicious nature, as
the appearance of the beleagured play
ers plainly showed upon their return
home. And not only did they have TO
battle with the opposing football team,
but also with all the trough house"
individuals in Galena.
To add insult to injury some one en-
tered the room in which the Vinita
boys had slowed their belongings and
stole a fine gold ring and a S35 suit OF
clothes belonging to Henry Rains, an
overcoaU from Arch Miller and litter
ally cut VIII. Meeks's valuable suit case
to pieces. In fact, the treatment ac-
corded the boys was most shameful,
and it is safe to say that they, as well
as every football team which loves a
good, clean game, played on its merits,
win give the Galena bunch Of prize
fighters a wide berth. The score was
"a to Q, aud from the looks of the
Vinita team ''nothink" was about all
they got back home with.
Anyone who INDUCES in football
game may expect more or less rough
usage that's part Of the game-but
when it comes to some one entering
I
the players dressing room and steal
ing or maliciously destroying their
personal belongings, that's different.
We do not like to accuse any inhabi-
tant of Galena Of being guilty of such
an act, but it was done there, just the
same, and it's up to Galena to explain.
