A SPECIES OF YOUNG AMERICAN
DEyILTRY.
Two Boys Attempt TO Fire the Cit

TWO BOyS attempt 10 Fire the City.
Two. boys, sons of Mr.. Cannon
and Mr.. Burdick, age respectively 10
and II, attempted to put into execu-
ton, one of the most daring plots to
burn the city last Friday, ever con-
ceived in the brains of criminals of
thirty years of age. and many years
of experience in crime. Whether
their design was other than to make
a good fire We cannot say.
The facts are these: They went to
Benjamin & McCabe, and wanted to
get box of matches for Mr.. Pinney,
saying that he was down the river
blasting, and would be up In the
evening and pay for them. Benjam-
in & McCabe surprising them to
have been sent by Mr.. Pinney, let
them have the matches. They then
went to Fawcett &c Chase, told the
same story, and obtained a gallon of
Kerosene. With the oil and matches
they proceeded immediately to the
rear of Mr.. Boehmler's shoe shop,
and began saturating straw and bull
ding fires in dry goods boxes. Their
fires being lighted, they took the pre-
caution to pound the bottom out of
the well bucket few feot distant
Charley Behmler hearing them at
the well, went out to drive them
away, and discovered the villaino Gus
work of the little scrubs. AS the
wind was blowing unusually brisk
that day, in five minutes more it
would have communicated to the
buildings, and where it would have

we understand, are still at large, but
they should not be. The reform

where they would be taken care of

Fgcts and Figures.

Many Of our farmers are inclined
to find fault because our wheat buy
eys do not pay the same prices for
wheat that they can get at Cedar
Falls. Now we know that there Is
no class of men who are doing bust.
ness on as close margin "a the
wheat buyers of Waverly. Three
| years ago, men who had 40 ware
house paid three cents per busheI for
handling clean wheat in the city ele-
vators, and fire for dirty wheat. Now
those who own elevators and ware
houses are willing to buy wheat with
only one cent for handling, and still
they cannot pay Cedar Falls prices,
for the reason that they have to pay
higher freights.
q. A. Strong, one of our promi.
nent produce dealers, has furnished
| us with the following figures: A
ear of wheat Is supposed to contain
on an average, 335 bushels. The
| freight from Cedar Falls il only IL
cents per bushel, amounting to $40.
20 on a car load. The freight on the
same car of wheat from Waverly,
would be G0.30. a sum of $50. 10 in IA
vor of the Cedar Falls buyer. 1t
will be seen by these figures that il
IL not our grain buyers that are at
fault, but the Railroad company
The remedy can only be found i'm n
competing line nf road. -Bremer Co.
Independent.
Farther advantages of competing lines
may be seen in the followin & figures:
Say there are shipped from Cedar
Falls As cars per month, and % cars
received per month, or $40 cars re-
ceived and forwarded per year. On
each car, according to the present
reduction, there is saved $3S on SAC
the total would be S3l, 920, and i'm
three years the saving would be sos, :
760. This estimate Is low, but ii
serves TO show the amount saved to
the farmers and dealers and shippers
by the present reduced freights CON-
pared with those paid last summer.
Other cases are In point: A farmer
received 20 cents more bushel for
his wheat in Cedar Falls this week
than he was offered at a town a few
miles west of us. The same farmer
purchased his lumber for "a less per
Thousand than he could there
b. g. Jennings, of this place ship.
ped two cars of hogs to Chicago last
week, and paid So car less than a
shipper loo miles nearer Chicago,
where they have no competing rail-
roads. He was also told that cars
are freighted from st. Louis to Chi
cago, for $27 per car, and at some oil
the way stations shipped are com.
PEELED topay as high rs $50 per car.
From the Pella Blade, We clip the
following, tersely illustrative OF
what competition does:n
Mr.. J. B. Noe, marble dealer OF
Oskaloosa. informed gentleman of
this place, that he paid tile Iowa
Central railroad, SIS to aid i'm its con-
.,,,- and that he got his money

road was built, and on subsequ..-
shipments the same reductions are
made and handsome margin is thus
saved. lie says that before the road
was built, the ID. v. II. r., charged
him from Ottumwa TO Oskaloosa
station % cents hundred. This is
what two roads do for Oskaloosa,
and what the Mnscatine Western
will do for Pella and oil points
