Mall Tribune: A Boston terrier belonging to Mrs. Bob Fltzsimmons, wife of the pugilist, who is filling a theatrical engagement here, wa killed Friday by Dr. J. L. Helms, city veterinarian, after observation had convinced him that it was afflicted with rabies. The animal, which was highly pedigreed and a valuable animal. was brought down with the troupe from Portland Wednesday. Thursday it began snapping at people and showing other suspicious symptoms. Dr. Helms was called, confined the dog, found it suffering from rabies and killed it. This is the first case of rabies in southern Oregon. The dog had been kept in the rear of one of the hotels and so far as known had not bitten any other animal. The infec tion probably occurred in Portland, where two men died this week from rabies and several dogs have been found afflicted. Mayor Elfert at once ordered that all dogs in the city be kept muzzled or tied up at home, as it is not known whether the affected animal bit other dogs or not. In view of the fact that it is easy for the disease to be carried from one city to another as shown above, it would be wiser to order all dogs in Ashland either confined or muz zled. It Is better to be safe than sorry. Star Theatre "The Two Merchants" Competition is the life of trade in rural communities as well as larger states, but in the small towns busi ness In competition is often fraught with many petty jealousies and rival ry. Merchants are aften at dagger's points with each other, will hardly speak, and in a trade will often take advantage of each other; but let an outsider put in his appearance and the whole village, rivals and all hands, are against, the Philistine. , Ebenezer Burke and Jeremiah Briggs are in the same line of busi ness in the small city of Bedford. Julia Burke has become fascinated with a traveling salesman and she receives court from him against her father's wishes. They plan an elope ment, but their plan is frustrated by Briggs, who asserts that it is his business to protect her even if he is her-father's rival. While out driving with his family, Briggs sees the salesman waiting in a secluded spot with a buggy. Be coming suspicious at once, he stops and watches him. He soon sees Julia coming with a suitcase and his sus picions are confirmed. Jumping out of his carriage, he rushes over to the buggy and seizes the girl. The sales man attempts to interfere but Briggs thrusts him aside and Julia is taken back h6me in the Briggs equipage, dissolved in tears. Burke is wild with rage at this interference on the part of his rival and he decides that the meddlesome old codger has gone.too far entirely. Early next morning Burke is at his store, waiting for the appearance of Briggs. When he arrives the climax is reached. Into the back yard of Briggs' store they go and fight it out in true country style. Both "wind ed,", they realize that they are a couple of old fools and a reconcilia tion takes place. They join hands and fight the appearance of a new store. The several characters drawn In this are delightful and true to na ture, and no doubt will be appreci ated by all who are acquainted with life In our smaller country towns. HEGINXI XG IMPROVEM EXTS.
