Ever since the Incorporation of
the city Of Dawson, fire depart
ment OF some kind has existed. The
Bucket Brigade" cf long years
ago, when the city was in its infan>'
cy, held an important part in the
extinguishment of fires. After this
a chemical engine was procured
which did effective work at many
OF our fires. In the spring of 1885,
steam fira engine of the most APP
prove pattern was procured by the
city for use of the department, and
as a machine it is considered of its
kind one Of the best. The force Of
water thrown from its nozzle IS
OF sufficient power to knock q
man down, or peel the bark OF
a tree. Mir. Harrison Watts. when
chief Of the Americas Fire Depart
ment, upon seeing this engine,
said: 81 consider it ona Of the best

the footing of risks with the most

Constant practice has made our.
ffemen among the best in the Site,

THE AMENDMENT LEAGUE COLUMN.

How does il happen that Chicago il
taking such an interest in our State,
and particularly our county, At this
time they are flooding us, through the
mails, with all sorts Of literature
against prohibition.
We would like to know their poll
ties. Some Of these sheets are appeals
To our Democracy not 10 vote for pro
hibition, because il is undemocratic.
Well, they quote Thomas Jefferson
freely. 1t is better To keep the wolf
out OF the fold than 10 turn To drawing
his teeth and talons after he shall have
entered. That is our doctrine; but
when he is in we will not let him go
on killing the sheep without at least
trying to stop him We have been
drawing his teeth and talons long
time; We now propose killing him.
Again Mr. Jefferson says: The le-
gitimate powers Of government eA-
tend TO such acts only n are injurious
TO others" We believe that most
heartily. DO you ray the whiskey
traffic is not injurious TO others Ehl
Suppose then we put a saloon next
door TO your dwelling
Who is Rev. j. X. Skies Of Ohioy He
sends pamphlet OF 80 pages, giving
"The Biblical Reason Why Prohibit
tion is Wrong How things change
A few years ago much literature came
from that quarter showing us why
slavery was wrong according TO the
Bible. Does not the Bible speak as
much Of slavery a. OF winef II one IN
biblical, why not the otherl
However. the God OF nations has de-
cided against slavery, and some day
He will decide against this curse OF the
nations; II greater blot upon our civ
ilization than even the African Slave
Trade"
But our friends out West are speak
ing for our good, maybe. They tell
us prohibition does not prohibit. and
IubIt llIubI viii Wv NDlu hIll'I lfplll-
bition than now. Illinois wants 10
save our little State from deluge Of
her beer, and Rev. Mr.. Skies does not
want us TO be whiskey-soaked like
Cincinnati.
This work upon their part must be-
genuine benevolence, for they are
spending great deal Of money upon
us, and II the amendment il defeated
they will not have as good chance to
get all this money back.
Now, West Virginians, we surely
cannot allow these friends 10 perpe-
trate such "A beneyolence upon us.
Let us rise up and sustain the amend
ment so they can increase their sales
in our States and get their money
back

EVENING.

The cares of day are hushd,
The bells are sweetly ringing,
The birds, in all the trees,
Their vesper hymns are singing;
The flowers are calmly sleeping.
Their perfume scents the air,
And the world, which day makes noisy,
Seems now without care.
The golden sun is setting.
The grass with dew is wet,
One bright star is shining,
But the moon hasn't risen yet;
The silvery eventide deepens,
Darker the shadows grow,
While the wind is softly rocking
The tree tops 10 and fro.
In the distance CLEANS the river,
So peaceful, calm and still,
And the lowing of the cows
Comes from the distant hill;
\ solemn silence reigns
Ger mountain, hill and dale,
When sweetly on the night wind
Comes the song of the nightingale.
All is calm and tranquil,
Heav'n seems nearer earth,
The air is full OF sadness,
There's not sound Of mirth;
Bars of silver are falling
Across the dewy grass,
Diana's orb has risen,
And beautiful evenings past.
