Owners of Dogs Are Expected to Pay
Licenses on Such Animals This
Month

Three years ago, curing mad dog
scare, new laws were enacted by the
city council concerning CANNES,
should their owners purpose to har-
Dor them within the city limits. The
statute made it misdemeanor for
any person to allow dog to appear
on the streets without being leashed
or muzzled. The records of the Po-
lice Court of the summer OF 1913,
will show that many persons were
fined for failure to observe this law.
while others were assessed for har-
boring animals of the canine species
without paying licenses upon the
same, After the hydrophobia scare
had subsidized dogs appearing on the
street properly muzzled or leashed
were few avid far between, until at
present dog wearing muzzle is
regarded as a curiosity.
AS is always the case at the begin
ming of the city's fiscal year, many
specimens of the canine race are
p,cwling the streets ownerless ard. o.
course, unlicensed and unmuzzled'
while many are seen which are har-
nored here and there but upon Which
no taxes are paid.
The Auditor has received his year
~ supply of tags and is now prepar-
ed to issue licenses to such persons as
desire to keep dogs. Inc assessment
upon each animal is 81 so, but should
delinquents be found and hailed be-
fore the Police Court they may be
fined double this amount.
AS is suggested above, a muzzied
dog is becoming rare, in our streets,
out unlicensed ours probably number
hundreds. Should residents tolerate
any animal of the canine species up
on his or her premises fifteen days
without having obtained license a
fine may be imposed.

BOARD REGRETS ORDER.
City School Trustees Voice Disap-
prevail of Drastic Action of
Health Department

The regular monthly meeting of
the City School Board was held last
night. In the absence of Chairman
Bradshaw, Vice chairman Howard
occupied the chair There was also
present Messrs. Kirk, Perry, Lunt.
Colvin, Pierce, Cox, Moore and Thomp-
son-nine out of the twelve members
and City Superintendent Sweeney.
Most of the business was of the
usual routine nature.
Doctor Albert Johnson in his annual
report to the board stated that no
cases of scarlet fever existed among
colored pupils of the public schools.
Mr.. Kirk called the boards atten-
ton to the action of DR.. German,
Health Officer, at the instance of the
Committee on Health of the City
Council, in closing the public schools
against that officials judgment. He
reviewed the bad effects upon the
schools and the city generally.
Superintendent Sweeney went into
the details preceding and following
the order for the closing of the schools
Doctor Moore said the power to
close the schools was vested solely in
the Health Officer, and Health Com
mittee was simply an advisory body.
Mr.. Kirk suggested that Doctor
German had given way to the COM
nittee and others in the matter. The
speaker alleged that there were more
cases of scarlet fever in Alexan-
dria last January than exist now, and
called upon Doctor Moore to corrobo-
rate his assertion.
Doctor Moore said he believed it
vas so. and added "there are always
some cases prevailing in the city
After general interchange of
opinion, the following resolution, sub
nitted by Mr.. Pierce, was unanimous
y adopted.
Whereas while the city school
board realizes the Importance of the
work of the health department of the
,ity in taking all precaution against
he spread of contagious disease fin
ii:+he community, the Board regrets
hat such action should have been
ken under present conditions, en-
failing as it does great inconvenience
20 both teachers and scholars; there
fore be it resolved, that the Health
Office be requested to reconsider its
2ction and rescind the order closing
he public schools, as the City School
Board is convinced that the drastic
:ction taken was premature and not
warranted by prevailing conditions,
md that the cases of mild scarlet
fever and throat troubles now exist
ng in this city is not sufficient to
cause alarm"

Election Statistics

The figures of the last national

| Wilson received for President the
largest actual vote of the electors,
ever given a candidate for that Of
flee. Out Of 531, the number of ell
ectors in 1912, he was given 435,
plurality of 339 over all other can
didates. Qn 1904 Roosevelt won 1856
electoral votes out of total of 476)
Wilson's popular vote was $685.

the popular vote over Wilson's of
those candidates combined against
him was 2,450. 5O4, and the combined
vote of Roosevelt and Taft, the full
Republican vote, was greater by
Ali ,444 than Wilson's, the Demo-
cratic vote. (Roosevelt's plurality
in 1904 was 2.545, 575, the largest
ever given a preSlQentlal candidate
While the entire vote cast in 1912

The returns of the vote for 1912

Street Commissioner Ed. Elertson
has been putting the streets of the
city into excellent condition this
summer. almost every one of the
thoroughfares now showing great
improvement over former conditions.
Main street has not been given much
attention, but the reason for that is
the fact that the City Council has
now under consideration an investi-
cation of the best methods of paving
and if one can be found to suit the
conditions here Main street will be
paved. The City Council. as a COM
mittee on the whole, will visit Me-
nomonie, New Richmond, Eau Claire
and possibly one or two other places
and get facts on this subject. The
paving at Menomonie is more along
the plan now favored for this city,
but other forms will also be investi-
gated. The Council has not as yet
decided just when they will take the
trip, but it will be in the near future.

Hughes Coming?

An attempt is being made to IN
duce President Woodrow Wilson and
Charles E. Hughes, the Democratic
and Republican nominees for the
presidency, to accept speaking en-
gagements at the Minnesota State
Fair, Sept. to 9.
1t is being pointed out to both can
didates that there is no better OPP
bortunity of meeting the voters of
the Northwest, en- masse.
1t is believed that fully 100000
persons would avail themselves of the
opportunity of listening to either
candidate. Approximately h a t
number Of visitors attended the
Minnesota State Fair in 1910, when
Theodore Roosevelt spoke before the
Grandstand.
AS the Northwest is to be one of
the backgrounds of the 1916 cam
paign, it is said that both candsdates
are c0nsinering the advisability of
such visit very seriously.
