OLD HOUND RETURNS
TO KENNEL SHOW
DsreIlct on City's Streets Sits
to Be Judged Again.

Green Bay, Wis. = Cap, big deer
hound that had been about the streets
Of this town for years and who despite
his bedraggled and old appearance was
at one time prize winner at kennel
shows throughout the country came
into his own again. He had that tday"
which all dogs are said to be entitled
to when, ownerless and unscrubbed,
he entered" the show of the North
western Wisconsin Poultry and Pet
Stock association and refused on any
account to get out.
When the champions in the various
classes were being judged Cap, pass
ing in the cold outside of Turner hall,
pattered up to the swinging main door
and nudged it with his nose.
Inside was a familiar sight There
were rows and rows of benches on
which were squatted dogs he would
have scorned to notice in his old days.
Hardly had his nose been noticed when
it disappeared and reappeared as he
threw his weight against the door and
dashed into the building. Anxious
owners tried to shoe him and attend
ants fiicked him with whips as he
walked along the benches and looked
over each contestant.
Once in awhile he turned quickly
but be did not snarl, and when he
reached vacant bench he hoped MIN
bly, on to it. There he lost his temper
and. with teeth showing, refused to be
budged.
Spectators became interested and
finally entered him formally. and he
sat all day with regal air, eating good
food and making the best show pos
sibe for very tired old hound.

was accepted and ordered printed.
The bill to carry out the recommen-

next week. 1t is backed by Governor
Cox.
A conference was avoided on the
CUTLERY state banking bill. The house
refused to accept the senate amend
ments, allowing national and state
banks to act as executors on compli-
hnce with the trust company law, for
this law requires 100000 capital and
the deposit of 100000 collateral with
the state treasurer, requirements
which small country banks could not
meet. The senate, however, altered
the bill to provide that banks could
act only as trustees of trusts, and
not as executors or administrators or
registrars of bonds.

Legislature Takes Recess.
Both houses of the legislature fin-
ished the bulk of the work laid out
for them by Governor Cox and took
q nine days recess to 1880 p. m. Mon
day, Feb. 16, to complete 1t.
There was left to be attended to
then the proposed reduction in auto
mobile fees, the Mills municipal own
ership bond bill and the general ap-
preparation bill, both OF which were
forced to conference committee.
There also are left the Hudson text
book bill and the Dollison textbook
commission resolution.
Taking out OF the Friebolin social
center bill its twotenths mill tax, on
the ground that 1t swatted the Smith
per cent tax law, the house, when
the senate voted to retain the tax,
refused the senate's request for a
conference and killed the bill. How
ever effort to reconsider may be
made Feb. t6.
In spite Of the strongly-worded plea
for 1t by Governor Cox in his special
message, the proposal to submit to
