Mad dogs arc becoming a trifle too common in this umk of the woods, and it is quite certain that the city council .lid not pass its ordinance

any too soon.

The citizens of this city got a genuine scare by a white hull dog yesterday afternoon that they will not soon forget. Just who owned the dog is not known. It was rumored that it belonged to a coolred man residing in Stringtown, hut this is not known to be true. It is known, however, that the animal, frothing at the mouth and snapping at everything that came in his path, started from Donaldaonville, east of the city, and made a long and circuitous route, going through Stringtown and west to Park Street, thence south past the city building, and over to Pinkley Street; out Pinkley Street, through Hadleytown and south on the Hoosierville Road, where lie met his Wat erloo, as he met a determined farmer with a shot gun about two miles south of the city and got both barrels in his vitals, expiring without arguing the question. The dog was loaded into his wagon and brought by the farmer to this city. City Health Officer Dr. Dilley cut Hie head from the animal and cent it to the state health department at Indianapolis where the brain of the dog will be examined

for hydrophobia.

flio animal spread consternation his wake, ami is known to have bitten a number of dogs. While passing through Hadleytown he bit several .logs and a line Jersey calf that happened in his path. It is said 1 liat lie ildt a valuable horse in that cciion, init this cannot be verified Owners of dogs known to have been bitten at once had their animals killed. This morning Chief of ollce McMillan sent his force over the route taken by the mad dog and carefully investigated the extent of ills depredations. The officers wer« instructed to kill every animal known to have been bitten by the animal last evening. The people of Knightsville are continuing their war on the dog family and ten more animals were slaughtered yesterday. Some of the finest tlogs in that place have been shot. Brazil Times.

tiun of a national institution such as

this has become.

In its coarser forms, hazing is a vulgar, brutal, always demoralizing and sometimes dangerous form of sport, which the university cannot countenance or tolerate. It naturally leads to reprisals and may thus liecome a source of serious disorder within and without the I'niversity. In its worst forms, which fortunately, have not prevailed here, it may, not inaptly, be compared with nightrading, white-caplng, and other similar forms of outrageous interference with private and public rights. Surely these are reasons enough not only to forbid its existence at the university, but to use every legitimate means to stamp it out. All loyal and law-abiding students are especially requested to co-operate with the authorities in putting an al>solute end to this custom, which, in addition to the evil it does within the University, brings dishonor upon the fair name of our alma mater throughout the state and country and naturally begets a prejudice against us which influences unfavorably the prosperity of the institution.

Hazing is a violation of good manners and of the right of individual liiberty. It Is a provocation of public disorder. Public opinion throughout Hie state has very properly set Its seal of condemnation upon it. On all accounts it must be put under the ban of the University. In its milder forms it is a nonsensical and almost idiotic form of amusement, unworthy of the support or favor of any sensible university student.

if theres an amateur Santa Claim in Indiana who is anxious to make State Geologist Blatchlej happy, Ii can, says the Indianapolis News. Just send Blatchley a nice pair of red topped w ild cals. More than any tiling else in the world, just now. tin geologist wishes a pair of wild cats Next to wild cats he wishes a pair of lynxes; if you can't find the wild cats send the lynxes. And if you can’t find either of these tilings there's just one more chance of making Blatchley happy, and that is to send him a pair of star-nosed moles. With a pair of star-nosed moles you could make him forget his disappointment about tile others, but if he doesn’t find one of the three in his stocking hristmas morning there’s going to be a mighty sad geologist in Indiana All these years that Blatchley lias en collecting his treasures in the state museum he lias not been able collect a wild cat or a lynx or a star-nosed mole. He is certain that the state contains the animal named, but no person has ever sent one in and personally lie has never been

able to catch one.

I nshopping through the southern Indiana woods, where these animals are kept, one will recognize the lynx when he cornea upon an animal about thirty-nine inches long, of grayish fur, waved with black, a black tip on its tail and possessed of large feet. The wild cat's feet are smaller. It is of reddish color overlaid with gray and the Inner sides of its legs are marked with dark cross hands. Dark rings are worn on the tail, coon fmillion. Thirty-five inches in Hie customary length. As for the star-nossed moles, there really is such a blemish. Tin animal is distinguished by little projections of hair, arranged in tin shape of a star, around its nose. Mr. Blatchley is that anxious for the above three that he will pay Hit market price for pelts and express charges if the specimens are satisfactory. Bedford Democrat.
