HERINGToN MAD DOG SCARE.
Many Bitten in This City and in Sur.
rounding Territory.

Herington, Kan. Feb 26.-Hering-
ton is in the midst of a mad dog scare.
Several dogs near town have developed
hydrophobia. Several have been killed,
while others have escaped, together
with quite u number that have been
bitten. 1t is likely that some stock
has been bitten by these dogs and
more trouble will develop later in case
this is true.
Mayor Murray issued a proclama-
ton ordering all dogs either muzzled
or tied. deeming it absolutely neces-
sary for the safety of the people. The
order says all dogs running at large
without a muzzle will be shot on
sight.
In the north part of the county
much trouble is being experienced at
this time with dogs and stock being
affected with hydrophobia. Only this
week Orville Parker, at A. Carpenters,
west of Acme, had a serious struggle
with a horse. The animal had been
bitten by a mad dog two weeks ago.
1t became furious and was chewing
the timber in the stable when the boy
went in. The horse bit him on the
arm 1t was turned out to the field
when it began biting itself. The fam
lily secured a gun and killed the
horse. The boy is getting along well
and it is rot thought he will suffer.
The whole north part of the county
and Center township have been quar-
antined on dogs and every unmuzZled
dog is ordered shot. The situation is
becoming serious, say the officers. and
several persons have been injured. A
short time ago several people in that
vicinity were bitten by mad dogs and
were sent to Kansas City or Chicago
for treatment. From reports coming
in from several quarters we believe
Mayor Murray is acting justly in MAX
ing the order that he did.

THE IMPORTED PHEASANTS.
Warden Dyche Thinks Mnay of Them
Died This Winter

Junction City, Kan, Feb. 26.-
Sportsmen are wondering how the
Geary county pheasants weathered the
cold spells this winter. State Fish and
he thinks the majority of the birds
did not survive the cold weather.
The pheasants, which are of the
English variety, were distributed
among the different counties two years
ago and got through the first winter
in good shape. Until late last fall
many of them were were seen, and by
all accounts there were several f1ocks
of them. If the birds in other parts
of the state persisted because of the
ing to eat, 1t is likely that those in this
county did also.

Ottawa, Kan, Feb. 26.-There will
be plenty of garden sass in the vic
unity of Ottawa this year from present
indications. The demand for garden

past few years, until the business has
become more profitable to many than
extensive farming. A number of

Seventh street has had people guess
ing for some time. and scores of those
who have been filled with curiosity
have gone through the structure from
top to bottom.
The interest which is being evinced
in this home is caused by the fact that
it is a combination house and auto
mobile garage, something unique in
Topeka. Basement of the building is
on level with the alley and an auto
may be driven in with ease The dwell
ing, on account of its high basement
is perched up to a considerable extent
and with its retaining walls on Seventh
street and along the alley it presents
an unusual appearance.
In order to make the garage por-
ton of the building absolutely fire
proof the foundations are of reinforced
concrete and the floor and ceiling are
also of the same material. AS a mat
ter of fact, there will be very little
about the dwelling which could be
consumed by fire. The exterior finish
will be of a pebble-dash nature, the
stucco material to be put on metal
lathing. A front 1O-foot veranda will
be of cement, as we'll as the steps
leading to the sidewalk.

made up by their large size. For ex-
ample, the living room is 26x1S feet
and above this is a sleeping apartment
which is of an open air nature; that is,
there are windows along the entire
length of the three sides of the room
which swing inward, as do all the

AN INTERESTING ARTICLE.
Congressman 6rantley Contributes to
Philadelphia Public Ledger.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger a
few days ago issued a very handsome
special edition in celebration Of it's
18th anniversary. In it were photo
graphs and articles from the leading
statesmen Of the country, including
senator's, congressman and other dis
tinguished citizens. Congressman w.
G. Brantley. of this city, occupied a
conspicuous place on the first page,
and, accompanying his picture, was
the following interesting article:
ITO the Editor of the Public Ledger:
Sir-the Public Ledger is Is years
young, and has but entered upon it's
career. The coming years are to te
the most momentous in our coun-
try's history Our serious problems
are before us. Are we to convert
our representative government into a
real democracy? Are the states to
be abandoned and all real power cen
tralized at Washington? Can human
life lie made safe in America? viii
the people keep the compact of cit
lZenship' and preserve the govern
ment as wealth becomes more and
more concentrated? Judged by the
history of the world, our republic is
still on trial. The real test of its sta
bility is yet to come. Our depen-
dence for that test is upon the yir-
tue, the intelligence and the patriot
ism OF the masses. Virtue must
grow. intelligence must spread and
patriotism be stirred if we would
safely pass the test.
The opportunity for the Public
Ledger to vindicate the long life Civ
en- it is at hand. The need for the
right moulding of public sentiment
was never greater; the necessity for
spreading knowledge of the duties of
citizenship never so urgent. The Pub
lie Ledger is to be congratulated
upon it's long lease of life and the
success it has won; but, however
great it's deeds and achievements in
the past all good friends must wish
that they may pale into insignificance
by its greater deeds yet to be wrought
in behalf of constitutional govern
ment, liberty and freedom

VOTERS WILL DECIDE WHETHER
OR NOT CITY MUST. SUPPORT
THE SCHOOLS.
At Meeting Yesterday Board OF Edu-
: lion 0eeiaea to Petition Council
! % Call Election to Decide Question
Of Appropriations for Schools.

AT the regular monthly meeting
Of the board of education yesterday
at noon the question of su5mittin,
to the people of the city the question
OF the public schools teing support
ed by the city, was taken up and dn-
al action was taken, in the form of a
resolution being passed, calling upon
the city council to call an election
for the purpose.
A petition was drawn up and one
copy is now in the hands of each
member of the board. 1t will take the
names of one-fourth of the registered
voters of the city to call an election
:ut it is more than likely that this
number Will be easily secured.
The petition, which will be pre-
sented to council when signed BY The
required number of voters, is as fol
lows:
To the Mayor and Council of the City
of Brunswick:
We, the undersigned, registered
voters and citizens of the city of
Brunswick, do hereby petition your
hOnOrs to call an election for local
taxation for the public schools under
an act to be entitled an act to author
ize certain class of municipalities to
hold an election to determine the
question of local taxation for the sup
port and maintenance of the public
schools. to prescribe the qualifica-
tions Of electors for such election,
and for other purposes.
Of course, if the petition is pre-
sented with the required number of
names council will take favorable ac.
ton, and it will then be left to the
qualified voters of the city to say
whether or not the city government
must support the schools
At present council can appropriate
money for the maintenance of the
schools if it sees fit, but there is no
law compelling the city to give one
cent. Appropriations, amounting to
about $1,000, have been made annual
ly in the past, but, although consider
allie money has been paid the board
this year, as back appropriations, up
to the present, no appropriation for
the year has been made.
The financial condition of the
board Of education has been emOar-
RAISING for months, and some steps
will have to be taken in order to Sc
cure more funds for the schools. If
the election is ordered, which it no
doubt will be, and is carried, then the
board can demand of the city council
an appropriation every year not ex-
ceeding 100000.
The election can be held in De
cember, when the regular city cleo
tion will occur, and therefore, it will
not necessitate any additional ex,
pense.
