Vigorous action, said an official to-

dogs, as long as dogs are dogs, is de-
cidedly in position to know whereof
he speaks. Informations are very like
ly to be docketed thick and fast with

by the gas route are likely to follow
in the wake of the informations. Keo-
kuk citizens, or that class of them
who have dog and want him spared
to the country, and at the same time
avoid clash with the minions of the
law, which is highly liable to separate
the owner from a snug little sum of

their account with the city.

day, is coming in mighty slow-slow-
