OmARnA, June 26.—To vhe Editor of the BeE: [ was glad to notice in your Sat- urday's 1ssue an editorial suggesting that, in view of several recent cases of chil- dren and others being attacked by dogs, the animals should be either muzzled or confied, It is a fact that impresses itself wyery forcibly upon one coming from an easter city, that Omaha is infested to an unusual extent with curs whose number 18 only exceeded by their worthlessness. How they can afford any pleasure to their owners it 18 diflicult to imagine.

I would suggest that the dog tax be raised to say $50 per annum and yigor- ously enforced.

Detroit Free Press: Soon after day- light we were all aroused by u wrangling in the sleeping car, and presently it was discovered that the row was between the porter aud a passenger—the latter an old man with a fringe of red hair around his skull, who had turned in without un- dressing. “T tell you T hey bin_robbed—brutally robbed!"" shouted the old mun, ““It can’t be, sah,” replied the porter, “Then where's my money—my $16¢ had it in my handkerchief when I went to bed!'’ ‘‘Better look around, sah. Mebbe it’s in de berth.” “Don’t mebbe me, you infernal nigger. I'ma telling you that some one h ely and brutally robbed me as I slept.” “‘Wo all turned out and began to count up to see if the robber had got ;u?-uung more, and while we were doing this the old man_was pulling on his cowhide boots. The right one went on with a chug, but when it came to the left he found an obstruction. Reaching in his hand he pulled out the handkerchief and the money, “Dat’s what I 'spected all de time,” said the much relieved porter. “‘Yaas, this is the stuff, and I remember of putting it thar,” replied the old man. The colored man felt that he ought to have an apology of some sort under tho cireumstances, and after taking two or three of us into the smoking-room to get advice the old man went back and sai “Look here, Moses, I'm a fair man, 1 thought you brutally robbed me, but you didn't, and I give you credit forit. I also called you an infernal nigger. Please move to strike out the word ‘in- fernal’ and out she goes, and now you blasted nigger come out here and show me how to get some water to wash in!"" e —— —— Good, 1r True.
