PRESCRIBED HAIR The fathers of the
Saxon church rolled forth their thunders
against the fashion of wearing long hair.
a Prelate, Serlo, preached a sermon he
fore Henry the LIST, who was then on a
visit to Normandy, against what he con-
sidered the reiguing vice The King and
his eourtiers were moved to tears When
he saw the impression he had made, he
cunningly produced pair of scissors and
clipped the whole congregation. But the
hair OF the people was still worn as long
as ever. The love of hair seems innate,
and to this may be attributed the immense
popularity Of Lyons Kathairon which
beauties, preserves, and perpetuates it

A Diabolical Outrage

\ fcnd in human form, ON W edneSday,
watched for little school girls near the
Ziegler school house at the foot of the Mo
line bluffs, and meeting three, one Is and
the other two II years Of age, he terrified
them By threats and drawn knife. and
compelled them to follow him into
raviuc in the bluff near by. Fortunately
the teacher, Mr.. W. c. Wilson. saw the
movement and followed them on run.
When he reached the ravine about half a
mile where the creature had led them he
found the two small girls sitting ON the
ground and near them the older one pros
trate with fear, aud her Undertaking
torn from her The shouts OF Mr. Wilson
alarmed the scoundrel and he ran, before
accomplishing his iendish purpose. The
alarm was given and after pursuit the fel-
low was captured by John Boyle, on the
bluff, not far from ). II. Nelie residence.
I He gave his name as G.. ". Taylor and
said he was twenty four years of age, re-
sided at Tecumseh, Mich, and had for
merly been employed here by Mr.. Case.
Horace Hunter. and others. He is in Jail
in this eity-barely saved from lynching.
He should be made to suffer the seyerest
penalty Of the law. If there is any crime
that deserves the speediest and severest
punishment of Judge Lynch, it is the one
he attempted, but fortunately failed to ac-
complish If innocent little girls cannot
be protected any other way, let the hell
deserving creatures be lynehed at once.

/ CoRRECTIoN.-In the proceedings of the
City Council the following appeared:
Aid. Riley moved that new hose cart
be purchased for the use of the Phoenix
Hose Company. Aid Lloyd moved to
amend by adding, to purchase hose cart
also for the Fourth Ward Hose Company.
The motion as amended was adopted.
1t should have read Neptune instead of
PhGHir. The Hose Companies Neptune
No. 81 and Rescue No. e. are to have
each a new Hose Cart
We would suggest to all the Hose Com
panies to either drop the name or the
numbers. There is no appropriateness in
saying Neptune No. 5" or Rescue No.
there is only one Neptune company,
not fiye-only one Rescue, not four The
best way would be to call the companies by
numbers only, as locomotives are now
named, and let the numbers correspond
with wards-Or else drop the numbers and
retain the names. As at present, people
are confused and unable to properly locate
the companies; but if Number one
meant the First Ward Company, and so
| on, then there would be no confusion about
the matter.
