for Senator. This condition OF
OF affairs in other counties Of this
section of Missouri complicated
affairs and Judge Evans who is a
strong supporter of Mr.. Folk.

the Governors interests.

DIVE RSIFICATION
 AT

a meeting of the board of education the other evening caused quite sensation in our political association
 Alderman Scully went to preside at meeting of the above school board few evenings ago, and while ne was simply doing his duty he was told he wasn't wanted, and he en- tered a protest and performed what is known as ''skiddoo." Well, the writer of this ad thinks MT Sculfy will be very glad when his term of office is ended, because he's had pretty rough swimming since he took his office as chairman of the aldermen; but he seems to come out on top every time. Now, some day he'll get left. For instance, he took the mayors place in opening the base ball season last week. Well, well, if you'd see him pitch the first ball. you'd say he certainly did not represent Mayor Thoms that day. II it was anyone but the red umpire who caught the ball Mir s. would have been a dead alderman. Any man who tries to pitch ball over the base and doesn't get within 10 F feet of it is no ball player. Say, we give balls, bats, gloves, etc, with our tea and coffee, and this week we give one-half dozen white cups and saucers with a pound of Baking Powder, 45 cents per pound, at

WAR ON DOGS.
Things Going Hard With the Un-
 registered Canine.

Dog Warden Trask rounded up the following yesterday for not having their dogs registered: John Pace, Michael and Joseph Capaldo. Each paid S7 in court to-day.
 The dog warden expects to do a land office business this month and owners of canines unregistered should be prepared to receive a call from Mir Trask. It is much more expensive than it would have been addition to the s5 which Mir Trask pockets the owner has to pay a dol lar more than the regular fee to have the dog registered after the first of May. Some persons not on friendly terms with their neighbors find the dog ordinance very useful in getting even with their enemies. During the week the dog warden re- ceived a call that an unregistered dog was at a certain house on North Willow street A sleuth was immediately dispatched to the house in question. The man asked for the dog and the elderly lady at hCme thinking that it was all right to show the little fellow. produced the pet. On the way down it nipped the car rier, so it is said. and the dog was afterwIrd shot. The dog was regis tered all right. but person on Chestnut avenue is said to have taken the collar from the dog and then notified the dog warden that there was an unregistered dog at such a place. This on the face of it is carrying the law rather to the extreme. but the owner says these are really the facts.
 The dog warden has aides sppar- entity in all parts of the city and anything that looks like a stray dog is brought in.
