for a male and two dollars for
a female, but no dog is killed
because the tax is not paid.
This is right, because the dog is
not to blame for his masters

the tax.
We have fewer persons bit

the population than Chicago.

where dogs are muzzeled the

We are grateful to our hu
name City Council which has
also placed all fire and police
horses, untitled longer for &C
tive service, on the large 1000
acre farm at Warrensville, in
the suburbs, where the poor and
unfortunate of the city are liv
ing. Such horses were sole
formerly at auction, and usual
'y had a hard life.
The result of all this is, tba.
small animals are quite gener-
ally welcomed in homes when
lost in our large city.
Children are spared the crpel
sights often witnessed when
the law requires the lost and
unowned to be gathered up anG
killed.
For the sake of the dog,
mans devoted friend and
helper, | wish other cities
would try our humane way.
They would, probably, after
they had personally visited
their pounds, because nobody
wishes suffering and death il
it can be avoided.

Wrestling Match.

Of Missouri Valley, having de-
feated Ralph Purviance in two
straight falls last night at
Neufnd's Hall. First fall in
seven minutes and the second
in one minute and a half. The
largest crowd ever gathered in
Neu6nd's Hall were there last
night to witness the two athe-
lets tussel for supremacy.
Twice as many people would
have been there had there been
more room. Wemight suggest
that the next bout be hell in
the theatre to accommodate the
crowd and make it much more
comfortable for the women
spectators. After a few pre-
liminary matches between some
younger boys the championship
match was announced by re-
fierce Cox and they took their
places in their corners, Purvi-
ance in the northwest corner
and Culavin in the southeast
corner. After few more re-
marks by the referee, thatflying
falls and strangle-holds would
be barred the combatants
shook hands and started.
After two minutes Culavin
forced Purviance off the mat
into the crowd but allowed him
to gain the mat again where
they kept sparring around, each
one seeming afraid to go to the
mat. After about six minutes,
Purviance forced Culavin off
the mat and grabbed for holds
but Culivan guarded himself
we'll and secured a good hold on
Purviance. Culavin lifted him
clear of the floor and threw
him to the mat where in a few
seconds he pinned his shoulders
down. First fall for Culavin.
Time seven minutes. After
ten minutes rest the wrestlers
again shook hands and started
in a little more livelier than at
first. Purviance forced Cula-
vim to the edge of the mat and
secured a good hold on him and
threw him to the mat, but Cula.
vim was on his guard and secur
ed a half Nelson on Purvlance
with which he put him on his
back. Second fall for Culavin.
Time one minute and a half
Mr.. Purviance arose, shook
hands with Harold Culavin and
acknowledged his defeat. II
is rumored they may have q
return match i'm about thirty
days. The promoters of the
bout are to be congratulated
on the way they took care Of
the crowd and no time or ex.
pense was spared to make il
possible for every one to see
the wrestlers. In our estima

"The consumers of this country
lose millions a year by short
measure. Indifference is "a sub
sidy to fraud, for short measure
is an easy source of profit to a
dishonest dealer. 1t may sur
prise many to know that 49,
ounce packages of butter are Of
ten sold at pound prices, though
there is little ii any evaporation;
that the shortage on -four often
pays for the milling; that bread
weight is usually subnormal;
that in some places meat is sold
by butchers statesmen at the
same price as they pay for it, the
profit being made from short
weight. One Inspector reported
a shortage of % per cent in ice
cream boxes from four cities.
Cranberries, beans, and other
dry commodities are often sold
by the liquid quart instead of by
the dry quart,-a shortage of 20
per cent. The consumer often
pays for paper bags at the price
OF tea, for wooden butter trays
at butter prices, and for paste
board at the price of crackers. !"

to the field in the morning and the au-

or goes to the mill in hurry or makes
quick trip to town and back for
