AS TO THE DOG. Another View.Point, .
soutnford, Conn.

Soutnford, Conn,
 June ', 1909.
 Editor of The Newt0wn Bee. Dear Sir: 1 noticed an article in your valuable paper recently, "A Plea for the Dogs" There Is no doubt but what the party who wrote that arti- cle has children and also very near and dear friends. do not think that he has ever lost any of his family or any very near friend of hydrophobia. If he did he probably would not make such q plea for the dogs. He also goes on to say that there is no such thing as hydrophobia. The writer lived in a town very close to Boston where there were six boys, ranging in age from eight to II years, that were bitten by a mad dog, five of them dying in a very short time. Those cases were every one of them pronounced as hydrophoDia by the very best doctors in Rhode lsland'and Massachusetts. In Providence there were several cases at the same time and is each case it happened to be children that were bitten. In every case those children died with the very worst form of hydrophobia. The writer himself saw some of those children while they were in the last stages of t.,is awful disease. And can truthfully say that it was one of the most sorrowful things that I ever witnessed. Of what benefit are the dogs to any community; only tc ere ate a noise and disturbance and tc cause all kinds of trouble in the vicinity. In many cases you will see a few ladies' with a dog trailing aft CT which is almost enough to maKe any man disgusted. In many cases the dogs are looked after regardless as to whether the children have any thing to eat or not. It would be 8 great benefit to any town if seven. eiehths of the dogs were entirely done away with as they are only g detriment to the community. Ant two-thirds of the people who own dogs gre not really able to feed then properly, not saying anything at al in regard to the dog license. Yours very tsuly,.-[Johu B. King.

Ringing Brothers Worlds Great est Show is to visit Bridgeport, Fri day, June 25, coming this season Wirh new laurels won at Madison Square Garden in New York because of the unprecedented excellence of their performances. It is in all re- spects the very best circus that was ever organized, and the two perform ances that will be given in Bridge port will be given exactly as they were presented in Manhattan, not the slightest change having been made since the season opened there There are no less than seven sensa- tions on the program, any one of which is great enough to give cir GUS distinction. There are the won .erful Schumann horses which waltz on their hind legs, drink from large glasses ana roll each other around in huge beer barrels; ele- plants that use the telephone, con- versing with each other over the wire from one end of the main tent to the other; the thrilling double somersaulting automobile act, per formed by a young French girl; Roblidello, the Mexican wire wizard; the wonderful Lorch family of aero bats and 100 other great acts that are new to America. This will be the only opportunity for the people of Newtown to see Ringing Broth CTS circus, and probably never again will such an array of European ta- lent be seen under one management, as rhe expense of giving such a pro- gram is almost beyond belief. The parade will be given at 10 o'clock in the morning and it is an entirely new spectacle. Some of it's features are camels, zebras, deer, elephants and llamas driven in teams like horses and harnessed to ornate tab leaux The parade will be three miles long. The menagerie, too, is wonderful affair, greatly enlarged and filled with strange specimens of the animal world. At the head oi the menagerie is Darwin, the missing link, which lives in miniature house with windows, electric lights hot water heater, chairs and tables Darwin eats with a knife and fork drinks from a bottle and slaves him self.

The TAX
DODCER
IS SAFE

Guthrie, Okla, Nov 1O.--Holding in
effect that the act passed by the Sec
ond Legislature repeating that part Of
the tax ferret" law which provided
for listing Of property that had es-
capped taxation prior to statehood was
sufficient to cancel the contracts en-
tered into by counties prior to the
passage of the act for the collection
OF taxes under the original tax ferret
law, the supreme court yesterday in an
opinion denied the writ of mandamus
applied for by Attorney General West,
County Attorney E e. Reardon of Ok
lahoma county, and TAX Ferret" Pit
man, of Oklahoma county, against
County Treasurer Charles McCafferty
Of Oklahoma county. to compel the
latter to list for taxation and cause tax
warrants to be issued against $lO,O00,-
600 worth Of property in Oklahoma
county listed by the tax ferret under
a contract entered into by him with
the county commissioners
This decision affects not Oklahoma
county, but the entire state. and is a
decisive victory for those who had
fought the tax ferret" law from the
start The decision absolutely pre-
vents any further collection OF back
taxes listed upon property prior to
statehood, regardless of whether such
unpand taxes were discovered and list
ed prior to the passage of the repeal
ing act of the legislature. 1t also
means that the tax ferrets' must also
secure new contracts from the coun-
ties before they can proceed with the
collection OF the unpaid taxes listed
since statehood.
