Dog Attacked by Birds.

Louis Mfller's 2-year-old fox terrier
killed a baby sparrow at Third and
Wabasha streets and then had to fight
for his life against the combined at
tacks of several hundred other spar
rows thirsting for revenge. The dog
accompanied Mr.. Miller on business
trip to the neighborhood, and when he
saw the birding fluttering on the side
walk. bounced upon 1t with his paws
and teeth at the same time. The owner
of the schnabel thought nothing Of the
incident until he heard vigorous
twittering all around and saw the ter
rier dash madly up Wabasha street to
escape the fury of the vengeful spar
rows. The terrier was getting severely
punished.-St. Paul dispatch to the

RED LIGHT RESTRICTIONS.

Every good citizen will say amen to the Red Light restric- tions passed by the city council on Monday evening. It was of no moral use to bar women out of saloons so long as they could be furnished with an unlimited supply in their quarters, nor was it of use to forbid saloonkeepers to sell liquor to lnlnors so long as it could be and was supplied to them through the Red Light agency.
 On the recommendations of Mayor Heney an ordinance was unanimously adopted making it a nisdeneaDor to sell liquor to any of the underground world unfortunates in any room or building occupied by them.
 The passage of such ordinance will do much to abolish that de- lectable district, which of itself in due time must also go. The city council is on the broad high way of substitute municipal re- form. Speed the good work along.-Tucson Star.

Policemen and jails absorb taxes more than most other causes: these figures have some bearing on the saloon argument that prohibition means higher taxes. We should like to hear of a community where the saloon licenses, even at S1O00 each, pay for that portion of the police, the jails, courts, almshouses and insane asylums which is devoted to the drunkards whom saloons produce. All figures are vel comed.
