was compelled to take up the time in
the Auditorium theatre preceding the

was a matter to be guided by the end
of the opera season there and its
start in Chicago. To play in Cleve-

policeman yesterday morning and was
/ shot for not wearing his check. His
owner had paid the tax for the year
and had the check in his pocket a,
| that time. Messrs. Carse & Ohlweiler
and all the employees OF the bottling
works feel the loss of the little mon
grel very much, and are justified in
thinking chat any policeman ought tc
have known the dog and known that
he was checked. for this was the first
time that he had been without the lit
tie brass tag this season.

There seems to be some misunder-

some parties at the Methodist camp

could be distinguished from those used
last Sabbath While these parties
were doing the stamping. some other
parties passed by and saw them doing
this. and surmised they were either
playing euchre or authors. and the re-

the report by saying they were stamp
