4 NUMBER of big fires that almost
swept the cities in which they ragged ont
of existence, occurred within the last few
weeks. Among them is the one Of Nor
way, Mich, which consumed $225,OO0 Of
property the other day, almost laying the
entire place in asLcs. OF all the proper
ty destroyed only S25,000 was insured.
The reason of so little insurance was,
that the insurance companies regarded
the risks as great as they really proved
to be, and put their rates corresponding
~ high-so high that property owners
thought they could not afford TO pay
them. Now Norway Will be rebuilt of
stone and iron, of course. True, Norway
has 10 water-works, but in such a gale
as prevailed at the time Of that fire, when
burning cinders ignited dozens Of places
IN the city at about the same time, seven
water-works in good working order would
not avail. Why not bJL little more
substantial business houses at least, and
not wait until it is too late Those who
are opposed to fire limit ordinances should
remember that the insurance money paid
out in this city over and above what
ought to be paid, owing to wooden build
ings, would build costly brick block
annually. Z. S.

THE Goodrich Transportation Co. has
had bonanza for years on the west shore
route but failed to keep pace with the
general progress in putting on fast boats.
Now ii is going to have rival, at least
between Chicago and Milwaukee. A
company with capital of S1000000 has
been organized. The company viii put
two steamers on the route between these
cities, which are to have a speed of %
miles per hour. Each is to make a round
trip daily and give passengers an oppor-
tunity Of spending six hours in each city.
Each boat will accommodate 1000 pas
sengers.

i MEETING Of the Business Mems AS
ISOLATION was held yesterday to consider
the advisability Of establishing a retail
merchants protective association. Two
gentlemen representing the Merchants
Protective Association Of Chicago we're
present and explained the system. The
end TO be secured is the refusal of credit
by every business man to any person who
does not pay his debts. The business
man trusting any such person forfeits the
sum OF so. The local agency through
its executive board reports for publica-
ton the names of the dead beats. And
after the names appear in each quarterly
statement, any member Of the association
in the state is subject to the fine should
he trust the parties whose names are
published. In Sheboygan 70 business
men joined the association. tits expect
ed 90 viii join in this city.

KICKING AGAIN,

The people in the south end of the Sec
ond ward are again bowling about the
cremator. The mayor is besieged quite
frequently by parties who report that on
last Sunday the establishment was run
ming full blast and doing work quite con-
trary to ordinance as the gases were very Of
fensive and the contract specifies no cause
for such complaint shall ever be allowed.
Some report it offensive in the extreme and
that the parties operating the. plant took
advantage of the fact of its being Sunday
TO dispose OF large collection. They af-
firm that some months ago the council or
dered the establishment to cease opera
tions and the proprietors obeyed not hav-
having fired up for several months
until last Sunday. They also claim com
mittee was appointed to select new site
and that committee has not acted which
has been great annoyance to the city and
especially proved such to part of the
second ward.
1t was intended to bring the matter up
at the last council meeting, but the press
of other business left it with several other
questions in the back ground. 1t is thought
an extra session is likely to be called to dis
cuss the question and it is also predicted
that quorum Will not be present, as
some members of the council are very
much inclined to be very busy when that
much mooted question is likely to put in
an appearance. It seems to be located and
those not being hurt by il don't seem to be
inclined to be very active in the matter.

a DONE-uPLOAN AGENT.

And now the boys have q good joke on a
young loan agent. Some months ago a
colOred friend called on him expressing a
desire to get a loan of 500 on span OF
horses. OF course the horses wore not
worth at least calculation $50 and Il
cOlored friend at his side come in H "A
second that it was very fine team. Well
the loan was made and two months after
the money was due. with Il very good
sized interest. The colored friend did not
put in an appearance and in a few days an
officer was sent 10 take charge Of the team
He took it to North Main livery stable
and at the end Of the first month a
bill was presented him for
$50 At this time the young loan agent
told the men in charge TO sell the team, 10
which it was replied, he would IL he could
At the end of the next month. however
another bill was presented for $50, which
being paid, the agent insisted that the
team be sold. The man this time was
quite sure he could not sell them and his
description soon proved TO the agent that
he was correct.
What will it cost me 10 have them
killed."
Not less than si0.o
They were killed al the rate Of = a head
making the loan a net loss Of SI5q. n IL
said no more loans can be secured in the
vicinity Of the court house with chattel

STELLA CRINITA.

The first open session of the Stella Grin
ita. the young ladies' society of Garfield
university, was held last night in their hall
in the north wing of the university. The
program, as published. WAS given and was
most favorably received by the large audi
encs present. The opening song by the
society was very pretty. This was fol-
lowed by short addresses by the presidents
retiring and elected. The declamations,
THE Polish Boy" by Miss Myrtle Carr;
''Alonzo the Brave and the Fair lmogene, !"
by Miss HOBBS, and Archie Dean, by
Miss Lsughlin, were all rendered and
worthy of commendation. The song Tit
for Tat" was sweetly sung by Miss Lucy,
while the duet, 20, Vert Thou in the
Cauld Blast" was accorded a hearty re
ception. The essays We're all well written
and showed careful preparation. The So
ciety poem by Miss Gilmore was very
good, and the paper read by Miss Jennie
Young caused much merriment

KNITTING FACTORY.

Now comes the report that a knitting
factory has located on College Hill. but a
resident of that suburb denies the truth of
it. He says the sylvan beauty of his rural
home is not to be marred by stocking fac
tories or land schemes.
The fact of the scheme referring TO Col
lege Hill, may be wrong, but it is stated
on reasonably good authority that such an
enterprise will be started in a short time.
A gentleman who claims to know all
about the matter states that company
has been formed with paid up capital of
$4,000. and will start an enterprise of that
sort He also claims that the purchase of
machinery was purchased last week and is
now on the road, and that the manager OF
the concern will arrive in few days from
AN eastern factory.

THE PROPOSED TELEPHONE TAN.
An Important Question Under Consideration
by thetity Council.

The license committee of the city eoun-
ell. to which was referred back the ordi-
nance taxing the Kansas & Missouri tel
phone company 81 900 per annum. is under
stood TO be waiting for Councilman Derby
to return from his trip TO California before
a report is made. If the statements made
some weeks ago to the council by Attorney
Gleed are true the committee can scarcely
do less than recommend the repeal OF the
taxing ordinance. Ii those statements are
untrue the committee can demonstrate
such to be the case and the council can
then proceed TO enforce collection Mean
time large number of applications for
new telephones cannot bo filled as the COM
pany will not enlarge its plant while there
is prospect of having TO litigate or leave
the town entirely The proposed new en-
gine houses will call for an increase OF the
special fire alarm service secured 10 the
city by the ordinance under which the
present telephone company has so
far done business and by which
the company thinks the city is bound. For
these and other reasons the matter should
be disposed of quickly. Councilman
Derby will probably be here this week.
The statements above referred TO, made by
Mr.. Gleed, general attorney for the COM
pany, are undoubtedly true to the best of
that gentleman's knowledge and belief and
he is certainly in position to know thor
oughly the business of his company. II.
however, there has been any jugglery of
figures and other facts, by any interested
party, the committee will be able to dis
close it. City Attorney Dyer has probably
given the legal aspects of the case care
full consideration as they are of decided
gravity. The original ordinance was
clearly contract, the terms of which have
been kept by the company, the city receiv-
ing up to this time all the benefits it bar
gained for. The legal question, there
fore, seems to be how to cancel this
contract if it should be deemed desirable.
The company has TO look not only at the
Wichita business but also at the other
towns in its system, for if one taxes the
company the rest are likely to do the same
If the taxing ordinance is insisted on per
haps the strongest point of advantage on
the side of the company next TO its priv
ilege of pulling out of the city altogether)
is the privilege of depriving the city of its
present fire alarm system and forcing it
TO put in a new plant at an original eX-
pense estimated yariously at from sl5,COG
to $4,000 with an annual operating ex-
pense of from $1,000 to $4,000. The fire
alarm system in connection with the tele-
phone system which Wichita now has is
the same used in Topeka, Kansas City, st.
Joseph and the other cities where the Kan
sas and Missouri Company does BUSH SneSs.
The whole matter will likely be dis Posed
of at the next meeting OF the council two
weeks hence.
