secured from Milwaukee, which will add much
to the success of the ball. Tickets for al in

To THE EDIToR.-After fires of considerable
extent, the question arises whether we ough,
not to increase our facilities for extinguishing
them. The people have been called unon twice
to vote "for'' against the addition ofsa Steam
Fire Engine to our Fire Department, and nothing
has come oft, While there is no doubt Of the
superiority of Steamer properly handled above
al other machines, the inquiry naturally arises
whether in small place with only occasional
fires, it would prove the most effective, let alone
the first cost, as we'll as the care and expense
necessary to keep it in order afterwards.
The water supply is of first importance. We
have but few reservoirs in the city large enough
to supply steamer longer than IS or 20 minutes.
while on the north side, there is only one, and
west OF the railroad none. The harbor is frozen
and the lake inaccessible in the winter.
To my mind Babcock Fire Engine of small,
comparative expense and requiring little expe
rience to handle ea,ily, is just what we need.
1t is always in readiness, with power (carboric
acid gas) raised by the simple lifting OF handle
- effectiveness is remarkable, not only in extin
gushing small fires, but in controlling large ones
Before the city purchases an engine, ii is to be

PRICE OF MEAT.-SirloiD steak in Boston is
thirty-three to thirtyfve cents per pound in New
York it is twenty-five to thirty; in Philadelphia
twenty-five to twenty eight and in Washington
twenty-five to forty; and good steaks are scarce
at these high prices In Iowa, before it is starved,
beaten. banged in cars and pens, and predisposed
to putridity, the best steaks are from ter to
twelve cents. This proves that before long the
bulk Of the meat eaten East will be slaughtered

Between ten and eleven o'clock Mrs. Williams

Mrs. Williams looked through the house to see
that it was secure from fire. little before twelve

jumping out Of bed, saw the fire which was Just
bursting into her sleeping room. She immedi-
ately walked the girls, and she and they with moth
lag but their night clothes fastened to get away
from the fire and smoke and out of the house,
calling an old man residing with them, who was
sleeping in another room.
An addition had been built to the house for a
kitchen with intention of using the old kitchen
as sitting room. One of them was on the east
side OF the house and the other ON the west. The
new one had not been lathed or plastered and
there had never been fire in it. It was from this
new part that the fire broke through into the
chamber in which Mrs. Williams and the girls

danger, nor was there any apparent indication OF
anything ngafe in the well. At about o'clock
without moments warning, a lMge mass of clay
caved from the side of the well about fifteen feet
above them and drove William Creer's head with
great force against the we'll suger and completely
buried him. John being on the opposite side was
buried up to his arm-pits with his arms by his
side. He shouted for rope and extricating one
arm an attempt was made to pull him out. But
he could not hole the rope with one hand and Lad

Mr.. DDIToR PLEASE allow me to tres
pass once again through your worthy
columns, in notlng some points pertain
ing to the progress of our wonderful man.
A being that has been dead but llVeth,
SO to speak. One that has been in a pro-
found sleep eighteen weeks is something
unusual for human being to undergo,
saying nothing of the laws of nature that
be has been conflicting with, which are
many One Of the great wonders are,
how life can SO on at so low an ebb. But
there are new wonders coming up in
other fields, why not in this?
The human frame AMI mind are prone
TO many difficulties but when the nerv-
Gus system can compe! the body to re-
main in one condition for so long q time,
with com paratively no changes we can
see field for deep investigation, and as
time goes on, things that seem strange
now, will be made clear. But to the
subject in question: About eight days
before the patient was taken from the
Hospital, he was taken with most Sc.
we're Dysentery, but willing he was taken
to his home on the west side, where he
now remains in much improved condi-
ton. He is now able to take his own
food. ana as to consciousness he has re-
covered in part, or in full may safely
say But his faculty of speech is scme.
what impaired, at times he will converse
quite freely on various topics and at
others it is impossible to get anything
out of him pro or con.
Whether this is through inciviIity OF
stubbornness is impossible to tell, but
such are the facts. Prognosis OF this
pat lent is that he will not recover for
any length of time. Much more might
BIO said on this important subject, but
will leave it to others.
