Last night telephone message came in
1ronl East Oak saying that a vacant house
at No. Hos East Oak, owned by Colonel
Taylor was or fire. The arrival OF the fire
department and their prompt measures
saved a disastrous confagration. The
damages We're slight, not amounting to
oyer 500. The fire is supposed TO have
been of incendiary origin.
While the department was engaged here
an alarm was turned in from - North
Main. A fire had been discovered in the
rear of Hellar's meat shop; but before il
had gotten much of a Roadway it was dis
covered and extinguished.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., May II, 1889.
Hon. George L. Douglass. wichita, Kansas
My Dear Sir: Upon my return from the
west found an accumulation of about a
thousand letters ! have just reached
yours of the goth ult. in regard to the ap-
pointment of DR.. Shastid. have not yet
been able to take up the question of medi-
cal pension boards, and probably shall not
be for some little time to come, but
shall be greatly embarrassed when l do
because there does not seem to be any
any unity of action on the part of the Re-
publlcans OF your city in regard to these
appointments | think | have recommen-
dations from leading Republicans in your
city in favor of no less than from eight to
ten different candidates. How in the
world, therefore, am | to solve the prob
lem? But three can be appointed as you
know, and | shall recommend three Re-
publicans. ! should like very much in
deed if there could be some unanimity
of action by the leading Repub-
made recommendations Can you
not bring this about in the same way. aud
agree upon three names, recommending
them, and thus relieve me Of my embar-
rassment, and perhaps secure for the old
soldiers much better board than could
possibly pick out from the large number
of applicants before me. / feel in this
HidIIer LIKE consulting as largely as pos
sibly can the soldier constituency in your
city, because they know largely by intui-
ton what members of the medical profess
sion are in sympathy with them. The
past administration gave the benefit of
every doubt against the soldier, Repub-
lican administration should give the ben
eft of every doubt in favor of the soldier,
and | am anxious to secure that kind of
medical pension board at your place. You
may, if you think best, publish this letter
in the EAGLE and thereby call the atten-
ton of all parties interested to it, and if
reasonable time, shall delay until am
informed of it. Yours truly,

THE MOUNTAINS IN LABOR AGAIN

A member of the sewer committee stat
ed Yesterday that after a careful examina-
ton by the committee OF the work done
on the sewer and being done it had been
concluded that everything is all right and
that the work had been done in a truly
workmanlike manner. The reasons for
the starting Of lies about the work might
be many, some from one and some from
another. Some might come from even a
discharged employe Of the work under the
contractors or under the city engineer.
Some one might want a job in the engiu-
eering department or TO have reason fer
creating a vacancy and all that sort OF
thing; all 10 certain ex-
tent might explain some OF
false reports that so out without any
tendency 70 benefit the city. but on the
contrary be a juicy fabrication for the
enemies of the city TO fling TO the breezes.
As co the reports in and Of themselves,
outside the work itself, the committee
viii give an opportunity 10 all tale
bearers and tellers IN the interest of the
city, ever the left, to have a hearing to
ventilste and prove, If proof chances to be
present.

MORE BRIDGE SCHEMES.

Some parties interested in the Central
avenue bridge, across the Little river,
are working up a scheme to get the
county commissioners to allow the west
span of the Douglas avenue bridge to be
moved to Central avenue. AS will be re-
membered, the commissioners some time
ago made an order allowing the same
span to be removed to Central avenue, on
Chisholm creek. Nothing of a striking
Importance in the way of moving the span
has been done, and hence the Little river
people come up and say if they can get an
order allowing them to move it they will
do so on the double quick. 1t is claimed
that it is one hundred feet long and that
seventy-five feet is long enough for CHS
holm creek, and that it will require one
hundred and fifty feet for the Little
river. In using it for the latter it would
be put in the center and filing
for twenty-five feet on each end.
The county commissioners have been
approached on the scheme but have taken
no action. They are committed to the
other scheme and say until they are re-
leased from that they will be unable to do
anything. The Chisholm creek fellows
have also been approached on the matter,
hoping to get release of all claims to the
span.
1t is argued also that the east span of
the Douglas avenue bridge is practically
of no use and it could be removed without
any damage. At the same rate as rebuff
ting that it is stated that the bridge would
disappear in a few months, and communi
cation with the West Side could be con-
tinued over dirt fill
