The grave la surrounded by a picket fence which has been In an shabby condition for several years, but during last night some kind person entered the grounds and gave the picket fence and the boards surrounding the srrave a coat of white paint which greatly improves the ap pearance of the grame.

' ' The Iroquois Iron and Steel company has been trying to secure the site for a factory location and has purchased

some of the property, but owing to a clause in the old man's will, It says that his final resting place must never be disturbed.

DOGS ABE SLAIN BY THE HUNDRED. (Continued from Page Four.) ty-eight deaths of human beings from rabies. We treated 602 cases, of which only three died.' On nt th TsTp w "VrirV nnrvra editorially: Dogs are the friend of man, but la man a friend of thelra in compelling them to live In any city like New York? "Every year there are not less than 500 mad dags shot In this city," says Dr. William H. Park, of the Board of Health. "Twentyelght persons died of the disease here last year." The dog is happy in rural, village, semi-urban conditions, where he has a chance to run around and dig up the turf and get his exercise, where he may be permitted to disport himself with out a keeper and without fear that he will be run over or stolen, and where he Is of some use as a life guard or sentry as he was at Grand View last week and In a Virginia community this week. He is not happy In the city, where fresh air and a free range are denied him, where he is an inevitable nui sance in the streets, where he requires a keeper, where he is In danger of be ing bitten by a mad brother is lnten 6ified, and where he becomes a commor carrier for vermin and disease germs. In the city one of the functions of the humane societies it to kill stray dogs. As between the dog and the monkey for household pets, under metropolitan conditions, it is to be said for the monkey that he never goes mad, and that, so far as he can, be keeps down his own patch of fleas. There has been the proper kfnd oJT legislation against tho dog in every j city in the United States, but like a J great many other of the laws in this j country, they have not been enforced. .For instance the requirement that all dogs be taxed is not only intended as a source of revenue, but it serves to eliminate the tramp dog which because of Its eating of garbage and the conditions under which is lives, is much more likely to go mad than the well cared for house pet. It raises the standard of breed in dogs for the reason that it is the mongrel which nobody owns and nobody cares for that is eliminated. If a dog is valuable, the chances are that the owner will see that it gets water and a cool place to sleep during hot weather. He will see that it is well fed and If Erich a thing as law enforcement is actually threatened he will see first that the tax on his dog is paid and secondly that he is muzzled according to the requirements of the season. Chief of Police Rlmbach of Hammond was asked if there would be any action taken by the police department for the protection of the public during the coming hot weather. Mi. Rimbach said that It was not wltbln the province of the police department to order the muzzling of dogs or to shoot those whoch are not muzzled. He said that the state law gives the mayor of a city -which may be threatened or Imperiled by dogs with the rabies, the right to issue a public proclamation ordering1 all dogs muzzled and ordering the police to shoot all a,nimals whose owners do not observe the proclamation. This puts the matter entirely up to Mayor Becker and if there Is any action along this line it will have to come from him. A great many dog fanciers In Hammond are of the opinion that it would be a good thing If some action was taken to eliminate the mongrel and the cur from the dog population of the city. It is also generally believed that the dog should be muzzled during certain seasons, although there are muzzles which are positively a torture to the dog. A muzzle can be picked out which will be reasonably effective without interfering with the dog's ordinary habits and burdening j head with a bird cage affair which is worse than chaining him up. .
