False Alarm Who is Guilty I

Last evening, at 9.45, there was fire
alarm, calling out all the hose companies.
Nobody could tell where the fire was
Some said the call from the water works
was for the Third ward others said it
was for the Second, but no one seemed
very positive where it was The fremen
ran around in the mud, with their machines,
awhile, and then put them up
This morning we sent to Chief Engineer
Yates to learn the origin Of the alarm. He
did not know. 1t was a false alarm, and
that seemed to be all any one knew aboutit
We sent to the water works engineer
He said the alarm indicated the Second
ward and he whistled for that ward
We sent to Superintendent Boynton.
He could not tell anything more than is
stated above.
1t seems to US that, if we were Superin-
tendent or Chief Engineer, we would visit
every hydrant in the city, at once, and
learn from which the alarm was given I;
whose wrench was used who permitted
its use and who used it, and report the
facts to the City Council 1t is no trifing
matter to alarm town, have the machines
dragged around town and the firemen fooled
in that way All the FIRE companies were
in session at their hose houses, and some
people think the alarm was given by some
fireman, for Joke. Others think that
some one outside the fire department did
it. Various conjectures are afoat and
various reasons assigned for it. 1t is the
duty of somebody,-either the Chief En-
gineer, the Superintendent, or the Police
Departmental all together, to ferret out
the guilty parties and bring themt to merit
ed punishment And they can't be too
quick about it. The people want to know
who did it--and want proper punishment
administered and such measures taken
as will prevent anything more of the sort.
II our city authorities would be respected,
this must be done. q.

Grange Feast at North Buffalo Pra,r,s,

Last Saturday evening the Patrons had
a grand feast, and installation of officers, at
the North Buffalo Prairie school house.
The Fourth degree, the highest in the sub
ordinate grange, was conferred by Mr.. ii.
Robbins, the Master, on those entitled to
receive the same. After the feast there
was an installation of officers OF that
grange, by Mr. Little, assisted by Fl. B LIE
Quatte. These social reunions and feasts
are pleasant feature of the order, tending
to greatly promote good feeling among
neighbors, strengthen the bonds of fellow
ship, elevate and refine the manners of the
young, and promote the education of all.
Our friends in all the oranges are request
ed to write us accounts of their meetings,
and from their letters we shall be enabled
to give such notices of them as seems to
be proper

REASONS WHY.-The reasons why DIR.
Prices Special Flavorings, Cinnamon, Lem

is because they are prepared from the
choicest selected fruits and aromatics,
without coloring or poisonous oils, that all
the flavoring principles are retained I'M

The only evidence we have that Mr.
Hawley has not drawn and pocketed the
back pay is a vague dispatch from Wash
ington sent, at the request of friends,
several months after the last session Of
Congress adjourned and saying that he
had returned il to the treasury. But
according IN Mr.. Farnsworth the returning
of the money TO the treasury does not pre-
vent his drawing it at any time hereafter.
As Farusworth expresses it, when times
are hard and money scarce he may quietly
sneak up 20 the back door of the treasury
and withdraw it.
As Mr.. Hawley did the same thing with
his Alderman's pay in this city, years ago,
il will be well 10 look after the United
States Treasurer books for the next few
years to come. Rock Island Union, SIM
day.
And when MIR. Hawley was running for
Congress, year ago, and you were sup.
porting him, THE ARGUS showed up that
matter about the Aldermanic-S alary-Grab,
and you defended it then.

the printers in the other offices, who were
not in the least affected by the reduction,
were driven TO quit work The publishers
filed their offices with union men, and
the strikers left without employment.

could do; they have dissolved their union
