There's a Reason.

The license tags We're ordered yes

that unlicensed dogs will run at
large at their peril.
A double peril will await unli-
censed dogs this year. The city will
have dog catcher abroad on the
streets, looking Eor the outlawed
CANNES, and new industry has also
grown up i'm dogs, which small boys
can engage in and earn numerous
good, round dollars.
Mayos Pay Good Money
The Drs. Mayo of Rochester are
paying good money for dogs to be
and fer purposes of experimentation,
and need dozen dogs a week DR.
r. Nj. Dodds is supplying their wants
in this respect, and has already ship
ped them fifty-tive dogs from Man
kato. He is in the market for dogs
and is paying a dollar each for ca
nines-it makes no difference how
big or how little they are. All dogs
look alike to the Mayos, and little
one is as good to experiment upon

blessing to mankind-even a double
blessing. The small boy who gets
a dollar for the friendless cur will
be made happy, and the pup may
be a blessing to mankind in general
by helping to solve some great bac-
THEOLOGICAL question and be the
means of fighting supposedly incur
able diseases.
Dodds Will Buy Dogs.
DR.. Dodds states that he will take
all the dogs that the city impounds,
which will save the city the cost of
killing and burying them, at least,
and probably would repay the cost
of catching them.
If the supply should be too great
for DR.. Dodds, there is another way
to dispose of the animals without
cost to the city. Mr.. Robey, who
conducts fertilizing plant down the
river, would doubtless be glad to
call for the dogs at the pound and
relieve the city of further respon-
sibility and cost
When Dogge Is Lost.
When little doggie is lost here
after, people need not examine their
sausage for sad little tokens, but
their thoughts can turn to the great
laboratory at Rochester or the fer
tilizing plant down the river, and
the consolation can be gathered that
doggie is doubtless helping some
worthy person to throw off the grip
of disease germs or else is helping
to make a bigger corn crop some
where. This thought ought to miti-
gate the sorrow felt at parting with
doggie.
People whose yards are made
scratching places for the neighbours
dogs will welcome the enforcement
of the dog license ordinance and
will be wishing the dog catcher, the
Mayos and the fertilizing manufac-
turer a prosperous season.
City No Longer Required to Pay
Money for This Work.
The city no longer has to pay for
killing and burying old or injured
horses, neither do the owners of the
same Mr. Robey, who runs fer
tilizing plant north of the city, down
the river, is glad to get these ami
mails without expense to anyone.
Yesterday afternoon, Chief Donahue
received a telephone call from a
lady in West Mankato saying that
she had an old horse that was down
and could not get up and asking
that an officer be sent to shoot it,
The expense of carting the animal
away and burying it would have
been possibly so.
Chief Donahue called up Mr..
Robey and the latter said that he
would come at once and kill the
horse and remove it to his plant
This is a great convenience, and it
also Conserves natural resources, for
the carcasses are made into rich
fertilizing material and shipped to
where most needed
Chief of Police Has Surety Company
at His Back.
Chief John w. DOnahue yesterday
afternoon furnished his bond for
$1,000, with the United States Fidcl-
ity and Guaranty company of Balti-
more as surety, and entered upon
the discharge of his duties. He had
q bond for $500 ready at the coun-
Gil meeting yesterday, which was
the amount of Chief Ponds bond,
but the council raised the amount of
the bond, as it was thought that
the chief has more responsibility
than the patrOlmen.
The city will pay for surety
bond to be furnished by the city
treasurer, Arthur Meyer.
