Thursday last, II. l.. Hossack, of the Min
cral Springs, sent a bottle of ginger ale to
each member of the legislature, and it is like
ly that that body went on high old spree
yesterday, when the ale got in its work. San
icula ginger ale is too heightened beverage
for the S5a,day men at the capitol. A little
o. +. c., with sugar and water, is rich enough

The semi.annua inspection of the fire com
pany was had last Thursday afternoon. The
company marched through the streets, headed
by Fitzgerald's band, and made the usual
tests. The new extension ladder, 90 feet in
height, was run up at the east side of the
court house and seemed to answer the pur-
pose of a fire ladder satisfactorily. In the
parade were the two engines and the hook
and ladder company. The fire company
donned their new caps for the first time, and
the improvement over the hats heretofore
worn is decided one. Ottawa has a fine
company of which 1t may well feel proud, 1t
is now thoroughly equipped and there is not
city OF 10000 inhabitants in this state that
can produce more efficient or effective fire
department than the one in this city. The
members are to be congratulated on the good
showing made by them last Thursday, and
the council should see that the needs OF the
departing Mt be always readily supplied.
