Suspicious Providers.

The recent fires which have occurred
In lumber yards here, and which have
appeared to be incepd'ary, have caused
the private watchmen at auch places to be
on the alert. Sunday night two fellows,
who had been hanging about the vicinity
of the Chicago Lumber Co.'s yard, were
watched, aud seen to go some distance
to q hsystack, get their arms full of hay
and return to the yard. The providers
put the hay in a new building icing put
up, and thinking that they had been al
lowed to go far enough, with which
seemed an attempt on inc~endiarism, they
we're called to account. They explained
that they were simply fixing a place to
sleep, as they had no other place, snd
after a lecture were allowed to depart,
there being no direct evidence that they
were incendisrles, though 10 view of past
events, it looked very much like 1t.

GUARDING GUESTS.
The Test of the Fire Escape and
Standpipc ut the Creston House.

Max Mohn, the proprietor of the Cres-
ton house, has been showing his well.
known enterprise by supplying his large
hotel on Main street with q complete
FIRE escape and standpipe. Mr.. j. G.
Bixby has Just finished the work, and
yesterday it wa tested by the fire de-
partment. A large crowd Of citizens
gathered to see 1t. The fire department
| took their time, and 1t was q dlsnppoint-
ment to many that the boys did not con-
slider 1t q test of their own alacrity, in
stead of its being a test Of the escape and
standpipe. The crowd wanted to see the
fire lads come with rush just as If the
building was on fire, yell, hurrah, hurry,
and snort, and see how quick they could
get a stream on, but the boys did no such
thing. They ga d they could not hurry
unless they smashed out some window
lights, and dragged the hose along
carpeted Railways. To loop up the hose,
and keep It frem getting smashed up or
mussipg everything, they had to work
slowly. They did some good climbing
though, and mounted to the top of the
three story building uervily carrying the
hose with them. Three sections were
attached to the ~ssandpipe, one at the
first ba'cony, one at the second, and
the third above the roof, and
three fine streams of water were turned
on, making a beautiful sight. The water
works put on fine PRESSURE, and the
crowd who saw the streams reiterated
the oft.repeated praise that Coun'

An Exploit of Oregon Bees.

Portland tOre.) News.
A short time ago Samuel, Asa and Joe
Holiday, of Scappoose, took a trip over
to the Lewis river In order to look into
the resources of that region. They found
1t a most beautiful country, and one that
offers many inducements to settlers.
The part visited lies off in the direction
of Mount st. Helena, and Is composed OF
both timber laud and fine open tracts
which abound in game, large and small.
While encsmped on the river they dis
covered an object that was as novel and
interesting as 1t was beautiful and strik-
Ing.
In their rsmbles through the pine
woods they suddenly came upon a fallen
tree across the path, which, on inspec-
ton, they found to be hollow. Through
q knot-hole they could see something
white, and at once began to investigate.
They sawed toto the log, and were sur.
prised to iud that the whole interior
of the log was filled solidly with honey.
They at nee brought from their camp
some of their vessels to fill with this
sweetest of natures productions. Their
buckets and pans were soon filled. Then
they sawed OH another length OF the log,
and found it still solid with the honey.
This they repeated and took from 1t
honey until they had opened up ten feet
of pure, lovely honey, which yielded a
comb that was 10 many places four inches
thick. Of this find they carried away
100 pounds, which they declare was the
finest they ever tasted, being far richer
than the tame honey which they raise.
Another strange thing which they OBJ.
served was the taking of salmon by the
bears, which are abundant there. The
bears 60 down to the river at night,
catch the fish, bite off their heads. eat
them, aud leave the bodies untouched.
Their distaste for the body seems strange,
and their preference for the heads has
never been explained even by the In
dians.

"Where Is My Boy To.night?"

There seems to be q feeling of alarm
on the part of some of the young men of
our city as to what will become of them
and where they can seek for companion
ship after the saloons close. This is a
matter worthy Of consid Grafton when we
realize that the greater por,ion of the
young men of u city are living away
from home and in boarding places where
they can enjoy but few of the social
privileges of life. Many of the young
men of the above named class have as
yet visited nc other places to find friends.
Council Bluffs has three other places
where those young men can so after the
doors of the saloons are closed, viz: To
the commercial college, the Y. M. G. A ,
and the public library.
The Commercial college Is opened, g.
a small charge, to all yonng men who de-
sire to secure a good commercial educa-
ton and at the same time attend to their
regular work during the cay.
The Y. M. G. A. Is opened free both
day and evening to all young men. In
the rooms may be found some good liter

The secretary in charge of this ~orgsnizs-
tion Is always glad to welcome youpg
men and to make them feel at home
while there, and to want to come again.
The public library should be visited
each day by every person in the city
who desire, to Improve his mind and to
prepare for the further active duties Of
life. With these places open nc young
man should say l have no place to spend
my evenings. Young men, visit these
places and you will find better COM
panionship than you have found before.
Make these places your headquarters for
soc'al aud educational centers and you
Will find better friends and will become
better informed. Frequent these places
and you will have more money In your
pockets and better prospects before you.

A Wisconsin Bear Story.

Chippewa wis Herald.
While Mr.. Eugene O'Nell aud another
gentleman, whose name we did not learn
were engaged in looking over some lsnG
upon the Deer Tail, they ran onto a large
back bear. The bear didn't seem dis,
posed to run, but sat quietly upon hi.
launches and watched the maneuvers OF
his enemies while they we're engaged in
planning an attack.
The only implements of war they pos.
sessed vera a club and an ak; but they
finally agreed that one should take the
club, advance and engage the bears at
tention, while the other with the Ok,
should steal up quietly from the rear and
dispatch his bearship.
The scheme worked very well until the
three got into very close quarters, when
the crust on the snow gave way and
threw them all into a hole about four
feet square. Then there was q lively
skirmish; first the bear was on top, then
a pair of snow shoes, then one of the
men, but finally they proved too much
for tina bear, and by a we'll directed bow
from the sx in the hands of Mr.. O'Nell,
the bear was killed. Gene brought the
hide down with him, or we wouldn't
have believed the story.

The Profits of Bookkeeping.

Rural New Yorker.
We often hear that only specialists
should keep bees; that Bookkeeping Ia no
business for a farmer or any other person
with any other business. Mr.. E. j.
Cook, Owasso, Michigan, is one of the
best farmers In the state. His crops are
always among the best in the county
whers he lives A few years ago he pur-
chased few colonies of bees, more to in
terest his boys than to make money. He
| winters them in a cellar, and has never
lost n.y.. In 1883 his colonies reached
30. Last year 60. In 1883 bis profits
from his bees exceeded by a co siderable
sum those from his farm. L,st year the
excess was even greater. Either Of the
bsys-one 16, the other l4-is able TO
manage the bees; the spisry has been q
source OF most valuable thought snd study
to all; and the constant profits have been
sourse of no small satisfaction. Mr..
! Cook and his boys lave spared no pains
TO secure instruction, and never refuse
needed attention to the bees. They say
i they had better neglect the farm.
