Dogs Killing Deer.

Hiram A. Rake, state forest IanRer
at Notch writes that March 3rd q
deer was chased by two dogs thru
his field and the deer ran within a
few feet of his house. He got his
gun and shot one Ct the dogs but the
other escaped. The deer was 30
tired out that he caught and now has
it and will keep it until it is able to
care for itself. The dogs had bitten
the deer in several places and If they
had not been intercepted would have
soon killed the deer. There have
been three deer killed there during
the past winter by dogs to the writ
er's knowledge
He says the law allows a hunter to
kill but one deer with horns, but the
dogs have no limit, nor do they stop
TO look whether the deer has horns.
The small and week deer are most
in danger because they cannot SO
readily escape the dogs as the larger
ones. 1t is the opinion of Mr.. Rake
the dogs have killed more deer dur
ing the winter than hunters did in
the open season in November. He
thinks the legislature should pass q
law that no dog should be allowed to
run at large, but that he should be
always under the control of the
owner. Owing to the deep snow this
winter dogs could travel in the woods
where man could not go and deer
would break in while a dog would
travel on the crust. The owner Of q
log permitted to run at large
should be made liable for any act
lone by the dog, and an owner who
Nllfully allowed dog to run at large
in the woods might be held crimin-
lily responsible if the dog was caught
chasing deer. The past winter has
been unusually severe on birds and
animals and it is almost miracle If
any survive. Nature is dangerous
enough to deer in winter without
their being compelled to run the
gauntlet of hungry dogs.

THE GoNDoLIER's SONG
Dedicated to MARY MADELINE McCAwLrY

Slowly calmly sailing along
Beneath the full moons light,
The gondolier sings his sweet song
In the stiffness of the night,
1t is a love song and his voice
Betreys his feelings deep.
Rich but tremulous he sings
''My heart is yours to keep
The cadence dies he steps awhile
And rests upon his oar
Hes dreaming Of the dark eyed maid
Then renews his song more
Under the bridge the echo sends
The words back, "Yours TO keep"
In a vision dim he sees Marie
By angels guarded in her sleep.
The moon behind the cloud lie hid
The southern zephyrs blow
The gondolier plies his oars
Through the waters as they flow
He is homeward bound, and he glides
Along, he gains the steep
And with buoyant step he whistles low
"My heart is yours to keep"

become law during the present
month. There has been consider
able tppositioD TO the bill, mainly
from Democratic and insurgent
sources Many amendments have

made the most forcible speech Of
his Senatorial career. Il is under
stood that he voices the views Of
the President. 1t is expected that
the bill will add greatly to the

No wonder he is adored by his country
men today Never has a more brilliant

Omaha Sir Edward is a master Of the
orchestra and knows how to write effec-
lively rich orchestral pictures against
choral passages; in this work he does not
at any time overtax the voices, but he
certainly keeps them busy, soloists and
chorus alike. and he introduces choral pas
sages here and there to be sung without
accompaniment. In the one beginning "As
Torrents in Summer" the chorus did adj
mirable work and ended exactly on pitch
after a long passage Of forty-four meas
ures without any instrumental support
Mr.. Simms deserves and has the SINGERS

to such a satisfactory conclusion last

operation and lots of vigor as well as with
a very satisfactory quality. He has many
good voices in his organization, and while
the chorus was scarcely large enough at
times for some of the orchestration, it
made a splendid showing. The climax in
the closing number was well worked up
by the entire ensemble and it was a mag
nificent effect.
Assisting were Mrs. Tewksbury, soprano,

This Evening.

WILLIAMS BAY. wis. May 20.-Prof F.
u. Frost in charge OF the Yerkes OBJ
servatory here, expects to make an OBJ
servation OF Halley's comet In the west
some time shortly before night. Although
cloudy skies prevented the making of any
positive observation early today, Prof.
Frost and Prof. e. Il. Barnard, the comet
expert, agree there will be no display Of
the comets tail i'm the east tonight. The
scientists say that the earth has either
passed through the tail while clouds over
hung the sky or that the tail curved to
such an extent as to miss the earth en-
tirely.
Earth May Miss Comet.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 9O-when told
about the spectrum observed today by
astronomers at the Yerkes observatory,
Prof. Il. c. Pickering of Harvard observa-
tory said tonight that the only possible ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomenon he could Of
fer was that the spectrum might be caused
by the presence of the comets tail between
the sun and earth.
An announcement OF the observation of
the spectrum probably will be cabled to
Europe from Harvard observatory, which
is the official reporter of astronomical
phenomenon In this country.
MANILA, May 2-Father Algue, an
astronomer, believes that the long
cherished scientific theory of solid COM
position forming the nucleus of comets is
now exploded. Observations made from
$3.50 to 1880 a. m. today at the Jesuit OBJ
servatories at Manila, Baguio and Antipolo
failed to reveal a trace of solid matter
The weather conditions were perfect and
the observers were assisted by three ma.
tural sunspots which facilitate the detection
OF solids.
