The Fire Yesterday Morning Seven
Buildings Destroyed The Loss Prob.
badly $4,000.
The Sun gives the following account OF
the fire at the corner OF Eighteenth street
and Commercial avenue yesterday
morning, and as it is generally correct,
we transfer il to our columns;
At about 4 o'clock this morning fire
was discovered in the front room Of the
tailor shop OF George Bradish, on CONS
mercial Avenue between 18th and 10Th
streets, and the alarm was given as soon
as possible, and the Delta fire company
was soon at work, bnt water was neon.

reasonable time, but tor some reason, the
Arabs and ROughs werGa little late in
getting there. OF course there was
great excitement on the whole block
The buildings were all frame and light
as finder and they burned like 4 prairie
Oh fire. Fortunately there was but little
wind or the loss would have teen much
greater. ASH is however, the follow
ing houses were burned to the ground;
Bradish's shop and residence, in same
building,
SChick' cigar store.
MCGaulcy's drug store.
Frank Warren's stove ana hardware
store.
Frank Swoboda's large boarding
house, occupied by Mrs. Harris.
The Delta City Fire CompanY's en-
CINE house was completely ruined, 80
that it win have to be rebuilt.
The loss Is variously estimated in the
aggregate at from $1,000 10 $4,000.
individual losses we could not obtain.
The insurance on the whole Is thought
not TO exceed 5000.
Warren saved good many OF his
stoves, but all his tools and furniture was
lost.
There was nothing saved from the
drug store but a show case or two. In
the second story Of McGauleys drug
store, DR., Stalker had his ogice, and he
lost everything he had, his library,
instruments, trunks, clothing, furniture,
sc. Others had rooms on the second
floor, including County Clerk llumm.
Not thing was saved, and the inmates
were glad TO get out with their lives.
In fact with the exception OF Ware Ms
stoves, there was bu. little OF any
value saved from all the buildings.
Bradish lost not only hi, stock. worth
probably 81 800, but $3.50 in cash, which
he is said to have drawn from the bank
but a day or two since. The loss Is ter
rible on him as he has not cent left.
We could not find out whether he hal
any insurance.
John Holmes residence, next 10 Mrs.
Harris boarding house was 'coIched but
saved. All the furniture, ETC.. was IA
ken from his house and from That Of Mr..
Pitcher, and of course il Is badly bat
tered. Taking it all in all the loss is
very heavy one on those Immediately
interested, and our people all sympa-
thize with the sufferers.

WORKING AND W AITING.

Learn to labor and to wait" So thu
poet sings, and to most a compliance
with the first part Of the injunction is
necessity at once perceived. The
second part of the lesson, 'to wait" is
harder to learn. The student learns tC
labor-the conscientious student, the
ambitious student, the student with an
Falm does learn to work and how to work
best. But to wait for successful re-
suits, for the coveted position, for mer-
tied recognition-this is Ethe test, the
ordeal that tries. To prove oneself a
workman that needeth not to be
ashamed" requires toll and patience,
not every builder rises to the place of
master-archetect; not every man of
talent at once secures the homage due
to genius.
Before steel is iron; before iron
shapeless ore. Through the white heat
of the fire, from patient beating and
tempering comes the iron and then the
steel-a tool to cut. The polishing
stone is long applied; afterwards must
the tool be whetted keen. Use and
time sharpens it's edge-improves it's
quality. The student grinds, the scholar
has the perfect blade at command. Let
no one, then, dare to hasten unduly the
formative process.
All honor to the men who can wait!

Science and art and religion can bide

leisure, and to the conservative spirit
that abhors haste. A graduate of an

IMPARTIEG INFORMATION
d. H. FLETT, Editor !.

The people generally, and far too
many teachers have very indefinite
idea of the true work Of the teacher in
instructing. With very many the idea
seems to prevail that teachers efic-
iency is to be measured by the amount
of information given. The fact, the
common estimate of education is the
requirement Of knowledge, regardless
of time or order Hence if a person is
well informed he is regarded as well
educated. This idea Is erroneous.
knowledge is not education, nor is the
requirement of knowledge the end of
education. Information is, of course,
a necessary means, but not the end.
No one can be well educated without
being we'll informed, but the reverse is
not equally true.
"The true end of elementary culture,
is to enable child to use with prompt
ness, precision and effect, the faculties
which God has given him. He Whe
can SO use his intellectual powers is
educated, be his knowledge more or
less. He whose faculties have not been
thus trained for use-whOse powers
are not thus available in the time Of
need, and in the affairs of life-is not
educated, though his knowledge be of
encyclopaedia extent Not what a
man IS, but what he can do is the true
measure Of his success. A man is edu-
Gated only SO far as he can put to use
the knowledge he has acquired.
If this theory be true then the teach
er's duty is manifest. It is not so much
to impart information as to develop
the child's powers of mind. He is to
"draw out" rather than pour in
The first step is, of course, to wake up
the minds of the pupils-to secure
their interest and attention, but the
work must not stop here. They may
even listen with rapt attention to the
valuable information which you give
them in the various branches of
Knowledge, they may be apparently
making rapid progress, but unless they
are trained to use the knowledge OBJ
tained-to apply his own powers Of
thought and intellect, there will come
a time when progress will cease, and
self-reliance will be wanting. Let
power of mind, then, be the first thing
sought and information be subservient
to this. This course, and this course
alone, will give results which will
prove lasting and satisfactory.

CORRESPONDENCE AND COMPARISON

OV4G4GuO1 ONOuNOA ANIL OOM4 AAUADON
In a late number of the Telegraph
was an article over the signature of
"Citizen," refuting a statement made
by correspondent for the Kenosha
Union relative to some Wilmot mat
tiers. AS [ have been q close reader of
the Union and Telegraph for the past
year, [ have been impressed with a
characteristic of the former journal
and it's correspondence, with occasion
ally an honorable exception, to 4aeUer
tell the truth, when a falsehood an
swers the purpose better.
1t is an axiom that like generally
6egets like. / Like editor, like CORES
pondence. Having taken considerable
pains to ascertain the truth or falsity
of a large share of the local CORES
pondence of the Union, I have learned
on inquiry, that from the communica-
ton of "Tax Payer" last fall in that
paper, up to the Wilmot school house
row communication; including the
''ish story" and all the petty black
mailing correspondence that has ap-
peared in it's columns for the last six
months, that where there was one
grain of truth, there were tons of false
| hood
When men make purchase of cloth
ing, boots and shoes for their family,
their children, they buy the best. They
know that in this changeable climate
warm substantial clothing is necessary
to protect the body, and wear for the
feet what will keep them dry and,
warm. The same parents are noted as
truth loving men, and one of the cardi-
nal teachings Of the family is, a1a0ays
tell the truth.
Yet the thought never occurs to |
them, perhaps, when they admit the
Kenosha Union into the family circle |
they are feeding them with mental and
moral food, that is antagonistic to the
development Of those principles and
truths, they are edeayoring to inculcate.
The Union apes it's prototype, the
Chicago Times, from which it's leading
editorials are copied. 1t encourages
sensational items and correspondence. |
Its pages are ready to receive all per-
sonal communications, full of abuse,
falsehood and righteousness.
A gentleman, and a subscriber to that
paper, who attended the Governor'ss
reception, by special invitation, was
insulted by writer for that
paper who wished to vent q little spite.
hence, among other names, he was
called 'pollywog."
Other gentlemen to my knowledge
have been equally insulted, while in
the mixing up of false statements in
the item correspondence, coupled With
the names, or hints Of both ladies and
gentlemen, reminds one of those name
less publications not allowed to circu-
late.
The duty of an editor is manifold
and laborious. His publication is read
by many and goes into the home circle,
to help make, or mar the destiny of the
rising generation.
A political family county paper is
just like none other, it enters the homes
of those of all religious creeds as well
as the homes of those with none. It'll
performs it's mission s0ezJ, though the
fruit Of it's labor may not be seen till
youth enters the threshold of manhood,
with character moulded, formed and
fixed, for perhaps, all time.
