At the fire on Monday night, the force of
the artesian we'll and its benefit to the city
for fire purposes was well tested. The hose
carriage was promptly on hand, as was Mr..
Pennyuell, the superintendent of the water
works. The hose was attached to the we'll
with Mr.. Pennywell in charge, thousand
feet of hose was laid from the we'll to the fire,
and a stream was forced through an inch
nozzle at the end with power enough to tear
the siding from the house. We have to-day
the best fire protection that could be desired.

q visitor and patient at the Water Cure, died
there on Sunday last, and on Monday her
remains were taken TO Galesburg for inter-
ment. Her father is division superintendent
Of the Burlington and Quincy Railroad. Miss

years, and has been quite constantly at the |

was an only daughter, an unusually sweet
and beautiful girl, and had many friends in
this city. She finally became insane from |
affection of the brain, and died from that |
cause. Her father has lavished his fortune |
for her comfort and DR.. Pennoyer his skill |
for her recovery. but she has gone to her |
heavenly home, and is thus relieved of her |

The farmers who come in town report that |
the spring has opened very auspiciously /; |
that grass never looked better; that the crops |
are coming forward very rapidly and every
thing Is encouraging Mr.. Charles Schulz, |
healer in farming machinery and implements,
says that the farmers are in good spirits, |
ready to buy and pay cash for his machines,
which is indicative of the healthful condi- |
ton and feeling of the farmers throughout |
the county.
On Monday afternoon an old lady was i'm |
Mr.. Zahnen for help from the city |
treasury. She has two sons in good bust
ness, one in Kenosha and enc in Milwaukee. |
What are they made of that they permit their
mother to seek charity from such source |
She may be at fault, but she is old, only a |
few years left to her, and it would be sup
posed their natural affection would prompt |
her sons to care for their mother in her old |
age. Mr.. Zahnen offered to send the old |
lady to the city poor house, but she was too
proud to accept his offer. That was all Mr.. |
zahnen could do under the circumstances.
On Monday evening the family of Mr.. |
William P. Wright left their residence on
the lake shore, shortly after the evening
meal, putting the kerosene lamp in the front
hall, and turning it down. About half past
eight fire was discovered in the premises and
the alarm given. The fire department were
promptly on the spot, and did good service.
Hose was attached to the artesian we'll and
a powerful stream of water obtained. Mr..
Wright succeeded in rescuing large por-
ton of his household goods and effects, but
suffered considerable loss in this direction.
The house, though not wholly destroyed,
was rendered comparatively useless. Mr..
Wright estimates his damage at about $1,000.
He is insured on house and personal prop
erty to the amount of at 81, 100. There is no
positive knowledge as to how the fire oc-
Cured. Mr.. Wright is an old and much re-
spected citizen, and it is hoped he will get
full remuneration for his loss from his in
surance policy.
