At special meeting of the city coun-
Gil held last Tuesday night, a resOlu-
ton was adopted appropriating $3.50 for
the grading of Kansas avenue west
and the same amount for grading First
avenue west. 1t was also ordered
that cross walks be built by the city
across Second avenue on the east side
of Main, across Main opposite ROber-
sons store; across Washington avenue,
opposite the Grand Central stables, and
across Walnut street, opposite Mayor
Stones residence.
The council also passed an ordinance,
published in this issue, ordering side
walks, six feet wide, made of two-inch
boards, from Main street to the depot
grounds on Kansas avenue west and on
First avenue from Main street to Tiff
street, in the depot addition, and on the
west side of Tiff street between First
avenue and the railroad right-of- way
The property owners are reqired to com
plete these walks before the 18th day
of March, or the city will do the jot
and tax the property owners.
And now let US bridge the river.

A Clerks Movement.

Last Monday evening the clerks and
statesmen of the different wholesale
and retail stores in Medicine Lodge,
met at the store of Ramsey u Sheldon
to organize and petition the proprie-
tors of the various establishments in
the city to close their stores at O'Clock
p. m. every day in the week except
saturday nights when they may keep
open as long as they desire. The rule
is to go into effect on March and con-
tinue TO October |. The petition was
circulated among all the business men
and stores in the city and was signed
by nearly every one excepting one or
two; perhaps they may sign the petit
ton also and make the sympathy for
the overworked clerks universal. The
observance of this rule will do away
with the transaction of business at
night during the sultry summer even
/ ings. 1t will also give the clerks a
chance for recreation and amusement,
which they are now denied in many in
stances. 1t is rarely ever the case that
proprietOrs of stores show such degree
of sympathy and generosity as those in
Medicine Lodge do to those who are in
their employ.

Rira at Aftinn

The Harper Graphic of the 18th inst.
gives the following account of an at
tempt at house-burning In Attica:
At 800 last night an alarm of fire
was sounded in Attica and the throng-
ing and excited citizens soon discov-
cred the fire to be located in the two
story frame building of DIR. j. G. Will
son. Happily the flames were extin-
guished before any serious damage was
done. The particulars are as follows:
On the north side of this building
which has west and north front, there
was broken siding board two feet
above the sidewalk. Into this hole a
two quart tin fruit can of oil and three
balls of ordinary wrapping Irvine were
dropped. The whole was then ignited.
The flames ran up between the stud
ding to the second floor and then along
between the upper joists to the south
side of the building. thence upward be-
tween two studding to about the middle
of the upper wall, where the dense
smoke emerged through broken plas-
tering into the bedroom of Homer
Wilson, son of DIR. Wilson. Homer was
awakened by the suffocating smoke and
gave the alarm, In very few minutes
large crowd of excited citizens had
assembled with pals of water and the
fire was speedily extinguished."
