His New HOu e.

People about the town were more or
less interested in our new house, be-
cause the idea of an editor putting up a
ranch was so novel We have answered
the inquiry, How is that house of
yours getting along?" more than a
thousand times in the last two months.
And the question, "Have you moved
yet?" has been fired at us over five hun
dred times during the last fortnight.
We have answered these questions with
out once showing a grain of irritation,
but the other day Ike Philips said some
thing that madens mad.
"Are you moved yet2' asked Phillips
''Began this morning. We carrie a
salt-cellar and chair and coaxe1 the
dog over" we calculated in delight .."Is
that so?" said Ike, in tone of congrat-
ulation. 81 am glad to hear that you
are so near through with the job. y

A New and Lighter Truck Needed up
TnNNn.

In going to the fire Wednesday night
the Hayes truck was pulled by four
horses, and, though this was double the
number generally used, it was with great
difficulty that the apparatus could be
hauled. even at a walk. 1t is true that
this was in part due to the snow on the
street. but even on ordinary occasions it
is too heavy to be taken long distances
quickly. Should a large fire occur in the
West End much valuable time would be
lost waiting for the arrival Ofthe ladders. A
light truck stationed in the neighbOrhood
of Henry or Monroe and Broad streets
would obyiate this difficulty, and would
have a quick and easy access to Oregon
Hill, Sidney, Africa, and the whole west
ern portion of the city. .f

NEW YORK.
REMARKS.

The wheat market has ruled stronger to-
day but not so active as yesterday, tluctua-
tons being small. Opening was steady at
over last nights figures on firmer foreign
markets. Very few buying orders, however,
were in market, and ii sagged off to S41c. for
May, but again reacted, and after numerous
small fluctuations closed at top figures.
While foreign markets are firm, yet export
business has fallen OFF considerably, and
until this picks up can see nothing 10 adj
vance prices much. Corn steady and dull,
very little business doing and fluctuations
almost nothing. Provisions strong and higher
early on slight decrease in receipts of hogs
but weakened of. and close is rather tame.

Last "Wednesday evening sharp
er gulled a number of the citizens
out of over one hundred dollars
He had secured license to sell jewelry
and located his store on the public
highway, at the intersection of River
and Second street. He first sold
sleeve buttons at % cents, promising
TO return the money. He did SO.
He then sold chains and watches,
promising a present to those who
purchased his goods. A large num-
Der of not very bright persons quick
ly invested their one and five dollars,
being green enough to believe that
their money would be again returned
and they would be watch and chain
ahead. The sharper had a different
belief However he fulfilled his
promise and gave the purchaser a
present. worthless one, and when
he had reaped his harvest from the
well, call them what you mind to-he
drove rapidly away.
The best way to keep such frauds
out of town, is not to grant license to
men to use the public streets for store
purposes. 1t is not right. 1t is not
fair to the man who does regular
business. as it unjustly discriminates
against the regular merchant who is
obliged to pay heavy taxes to do bus
mess here. Besides when the city
licenses these street frauds it really
becomes partner in q scheme to
gull foolish citizens. The city's share
of the plumber is the license fee.
One object of law is to protect the
foolish citizens from the sharper.
Do not grant any more license to
street men. If they want to do bust
ness, let them hire stores, clerks, ETC.,
the same as regular merchants, and pay
taxes same rs regular merchants do.
Serve all alike.

Children's Day.

The services at the Congregations
church Sunday evening last wer,
especially devoted to the young PEG
pie. 1t was called "children's day.
The services commenced at 1880 il
the evening, and large number O.
people were present. Extra seat
had to be placed in the aisles. TIL,
church was tastefully decorated with
flowers and plants, and, suspended
from the trusses, were several bird
cages. The birds frequently Joined in
the singing and helped considerably
to brighten the services.
The services commenced with an
organ voluntary by Prof. Simonds,
after which the choir rendered the
duet and chorus "There is Foun.
TAIN" The program comprised six
teen pieces Recitation, Beatitudes,
by Miss Wilcox's class recitation,
Faith, Hope, Love-" by Susie Mon
tagu solo, "Be Thou with Me-" by
Alice Power; gospel songs by the
choir and congregation; recitation,
"Purest PEARL" by Miss Ruth Avery
recitation, "The Dear Lords Face"
by Carrie Williams: reading, by Miss
Carrie Potter. Interspersed with the
recitations were the musical and vocal
selections by the choir.
The solo and chorus, Nearer my
God to Thee" by Miss Dafoe and
choir; the solo, There's Light in the
Sky" by Miss Maltz; and the solo
and chorus, "The Light of the
Verdi" by Geo. Hawkins and choir,
were all three very finely rendered,
and if the time had not been Sunday,
the soloists would have been warmly
and they certainly de-
serve the warmest approval.
In his address Rev. H. H. Van
Auken explained what "Children's
Day" meant. His remarks were in
Children's Day was orr
ginated to make the church service
more agreeable and pleasant, especial
ly to the young people. "If you
take care of the young people, the
men will take care of themselves"
In former times the motto was =
"Children must be seen, not heard"
Now, children had to be both seen
and heard, and a day had been set
apart for them by the church. He
also spoke of the necessity of the
young people attending the Sunday
schools, and believed that if parents
would also attend, the children would
be more apt to be found in the Sun
day schools.
Prof Simonds and lady presided at
organ.
