A PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Rock Island Needs One---What One Will
COst..Its Advantages.


So far as protection against fire is con-
cerned, Rock Island is behind her. sister
cities The volunteer department does
the best it can. but it is not efficient
enough, and therefore does notgive US the
protection against fire that we should
have. The advantages of paid depart
ment over a volunteer department are
many, and the extra cost which it would
require, will more than over-balance the
outlay. 1t would be well to review the
matter, and look at the advantages of a
paid department.
First, let us look at our present fire de
partment Its members are compelled TO
work at other avocations in order to make
living. In case of an alarm of fire, they
must leave their work, and many minutes
must necessarily elapse before they can
get to the scene of the fire After they
geti there they do very efficient work,
but it is necessary, in time of fire, to
have men on the ground as quickly as
possible All delays cost money, as many
of our property holders have learned
We all know the disadvantages of
volunteer department, and it is but natural
that we should look around and seek
means of ief,-means whereby We can
have better service, get fires under control
quicker and save the cost to the property
owner whose property is on fire. The only
source we can turn to in this dilemma is
the paid department, one that will he
we'll trained, efficient, ana under a cool
and deliberate chief, and man who
knows what to do in case of fire.
The tax payer will want TO know what
a paid department viii cost What the
expense will be to get one in working or
der, and to maintain it after it is once sc
cured These are important questions,
and one the writer will try and make
clear, having had some experience with
the workings of paid departments, and
therefore. knowing something of their
advantages and cost.
The first and most important feature
of fire department is fire alarm tele-
graph By this means fire alarms can be
turned in, the locality of the fire given,
and the firemen can be at the scene within
few minutes. The wires for fire alarm
telegraph can be stretched on housetops,
and few poles need be used. The alarm
boxes can be placed at street corners.
Keys can be given to the police, reliable
citizens and left at public places. On
the boxes can be printed where the near
est key can be found. Such a telegraph
system will cost in the neighborhood of
ST, 900.
The next of importance is the hose
carts, chemicals and engines The zen.
CINE now owned by the city can be re
paired for $500 The hose carts can be
made to answer the purpose with an ex
penditure of $500 A chemical will cost
about $4,000 Eight horses will be
needed, and good ones can be purchased
at 81, 600. So we have the cost of a paid
department put on its feet at

How a MastOdOn was Buried.

The buriaI-place of this great
beast is to me of intense interest.
The body lay on its side, on a hard
sand bottom, the upper parts being
surrounded and but thinly covered
with muck, or vegetable peat. 1 am
satisfied that it died on the dry
bank Of an ancient stream. Now
came a singular discovery which
served as a key to the difficulty.
Lying on the skeleton at different
parts were the sticks or heart re-
mains of red cedarS (JtITiperttS
VirginiGrlG, L.; they were beaver
logs. Here a singular piece OF ex-
perience came to myiaid.I had quite
recently discovered add studied the
details of two fossil beaver dams
but two miles west of this place,
and the physical features of this
mastodon's burying- place were in
all respects indicative of former
beaver-dam. In fact, no other ny
pothesis could account for these
sticks, with others OF different
woods, which have been exhumed
in this meadow. It is observable that
pond made by beavers has in
time its meadow as natural conse-
quence, and that, after the pond is
deserted by these animals. the dam
breaks down slowly, and, as the pond
! area decreases, the swamp area In

Kind to the Old Man.

Comstock young man, who was in a
little game of draw with his pater-
nal progenitor the other eveing.
"What are you doing that for p"
asked the old man rather peevishly.
Cant help it. Got two pair"
The elderly gentleman threw up
his hand, Whereupon the youth
showed his cards, disclosing the fact
that he did not have even so much
as a pair Of deuces.
The look of disgust on the old
mans face was intense, but it
changed suddenly, for the next
hand, which was dealt by his &C.
complished son, contained three
aces.
"Mebee you won't be so previous
in you blufing this time" chuckled
the father, as he drew two cards and
showed handful of his hard-earned
silver into the middle of the table.
Il tap you," was the sons laconic
reply, throwing up a 500 piece.
In his eagerness the old man did
not notice that his boy had not
drawn any cards, and SO unhesita-
tingly called. The boy had a flush.
After the old gentleman had left
the young man said, IN voice which
was almost choked, and which
showed plainly how much he was

A Curious Bridal Couple.

AS odd looking bride and groom
es one ever sees, and who, after the
circumstances surrounding them
were known, set tongues a-Wagging
and made laughing contagious, were
seen at the Union depot this morning.
The couple consisted OF an old mau
fully seventy years of age, over six
feet in hight, with flowing gray hair,
and carrying on his arm a pair OF
that Kind of saddlebsgs worn thirty
years ago, and a girl just fourteen
years old, who in height would reach
about the old mans vest pocket.
They are on their wedding tour.
They came III from soma point in
Alabama Lass night, and are bound
for some point Ia Oregon. A
passenger on the same train on
which they came in last night says
that during the entlr5 day they were
the centre of observation, because OF
their ohiId-liks lovingness, and
general gree nneas. The old man is
by profession & Methodist minister,
ioing to a conference ia Oregon and
confines pleasure with business by
taking along with him a veritable
and living Christmas present. ST
