ANIMALS IN A FRENZY.
There's Danger Afoot When Captive
Wild Beasts go Bad"


What those who have charge of wild
animals in captivity, and especially
trainers. dread most among the large
beasts is that ineXplicable change of
temperament on the part of the ami
NAL known in the parlance of the me-
naGerie as going bad"
Lions are likely TO 20 bad about the
tenth year of life: tigers. two or three
years earlier. The male tiger is the
dread of the profession when he
reaches this condition. because he is
more likely TO go into Il frenzy without
warning. and once gone bad nothing
will satisfy him but murder
He will leap for any man within
reach, and when once his teeth are on
the bone nothing but fire will make
him relinquish it, and not always that.
This going bad" may come in the
nature Of a sudden attack or it may
develop slowly and be counteracted if
taken in time. An old trainer can
usually detect the symptoms of this
curious ailment. 1t seems to be in
the nature of a disease, and other ami
mails recognize it and shun the affect
ed one
When its progress is apparent the
danger is not great. All that is re-
quired then is level head and the
wisdom to refrain from further inter
ference with the animal
Sometimes this bad temper will last
hut a short time. and again it will be
come the permanent condition of the
animal In that case he is sent to the
lonely cage to spend the rest Of his
life in comparative Obscurity, dis
turbed merely by the passing crowd
and his daily meals.-Pearson's Week

Well Water AIright.-A report from
City Chemist Lewis l. Birdsall., made
public yesterday morning by Com
missioner Eastman of the public
health department, contradicts the
conclusions arrived at last Saturday
by DR.. r. W. Oakley as TO the condi-
ton of water in the Ed Wager well.
which has been used for drinking
purposes by pupils of the Logan
school. DR.. Oakley said his test of a
sample showed the water TO be unfit
for use. The city chemists test of
a sample secured by an inspector in
the employe of the city shows the
conditions are not so bad as pictured
by DR.. Oakley. In fact, Mr.. Birdsan
says: The water from the Wager
well is in fair condition and | believe
it is safe for drinking purposes at the
present time Mr. Birdsall reports,
however. that it would be safer to
substitute a drilled we'll for the pres
ent Wager well, in order that no sur
face water would enter. He says the
drilled we'll should be at least so
feet deep.

DRAMA STAGED
TN CITY HALL
DRAMATIS PERSONAL: May
OR HARTLEY, COUNCILMAN
HEDGES OF FIRST WARD
AND CHIEF OF POLICE
KRABY.

The failure of Councilman Hedges to
call the bluff of Mayor Hartley at the
meeting of the city council last Monday
night, prevented possibly still more
dramatic situation in council session
replete with interesting incidents. Coun-
Gilman Bardon, who has been absent
from several sessions of the city council
of late, wanted to know some of the
history of the famous pole ordinance.
Councilman Hedges had just given his
version of the case when the mayor took
up the subject, interspersing his remarks
with insinuations in the direction ol
Councilman Hedges. At a particularly
pointed allusion Dr. Hedges rose to OBJ
iect, doing so repeatedly. The mayors
gavel failing to bring the councilman to
his seat again, the mayor called upon
the chief of police ''to remove the gentle
man from the room." DR.. Hedges there
upon left the council chamber followed
by another personal thrust from the
mayor.
The mayors action was clearly unwar
ranted and without authority, and DIR.
Hedges should have then and there in
sisted upon his rights. The mayor has
been very free of late to air his views
from the chair, an act for which no au
thority can be found either in Roberts
Rules of Order or the city charter. The
mayor is a presiding officer pure and
simple and should he wish to discuss
any subject he should do so from the
floor. Moreover, in the particular case
in question, according to charter pro-
vision, while the mayor could probably
order any individual in the audience or
the whole audience removed for disturb
ing the proceedings of the city council,
when it comes to member of the coun
ell, that body is itself to be the Judge
of the conduct of one of its members.
DIR. Hedges should have refused to leave
the chamber until he had appealed to
the council.
The incident recalled to the reminis-
cent mind of "BilP' Gillespie dramatic
scene of the early days when he was a
member of the city council of which
Henry Friday was a fellow member and
Falconer the mayor. Words arose over
some appointment with the result that
the mayor left the chair to get into
closer contact with Mr.. Friday. An un
brella in the latter's hand is said to
have figured conspicuously in the scene
before the wonted equanimity of the
council was restored.

CLERKS HOLD BIG SESSION.

Wednesday evening was red-letter
night with the Retail Clerks, who gath
cred about eighty strong in the Labor
Temple to initiate large class of can

employed in the dry goods stores of the
city. The following stores employing
lady clerks are now either fully organ
lied or partially so: Dolson & Cleaver
Charlton's 5-l0-l5 Cent Store, The Cres-
cent, Grand Leader, Stone Fisher, Keith

city 100 per cent organized in the very
near future.
After the conclusion of the business
session the floor was cleared for dancing
and a jolly time was had by the boys
and girls until nearly midnight.
Fruit punch was served between
dances.
