Malicious Mischief.

We are sorry to note the DISPOSE
ton Of SO many of the boys and youth
of our country to malicious mischief,
and especially:that Cresco seems to
have its full share Of those predisro :
ed to, or thoughtlesly belonging to
that class. Slung-shots, pistols,
bludgeons and air-guns are in de-
mand and in the hands of this class
from the mere boy to the full grown
man. The desire to possess these in
struments of mischief and destruct-
ion is pandered to for the dollars
there are in it by some of our bust
ness men, who always stand ready to
furnish them with the means to do
what their depraved and vitiated
tastes lead to.
A few days since we noted the in
jury Of Mr.. Anderson's daughter from
q missile thrown from a sling-shot.
Since then gentleman from the
country came into one OF our stores
with his lip cut and bleeding from
the same cause, neither Of the injured
having seen the person who through
design or criminal carelessness hurled
the missile that did the injury. The
stained glass in one Of our stores has
hole perforated probably from an
air-gun, and one of the Congrega-
tional church has perforation of
similar character made in like man.
ner. This destructive spirit is carried
to such lengths that goods exposed
Or left in front of the stores for a few
moments are liable to destruction or
damage. A day or two since one of
our merchants had a lot of dairy salt
brought to his store and left on the
platform in front of his store in good
condition, and five minutes after goa
ing to remove it, found the heavy
sack in which it was shipped split
from end to end, cut through the
heavy ducking with u sharp knife. 1t
is time to call D halt on some of this
devilishness, and il the boys and
young men engaged in the work of
destruction cannot be restrained
without, the police force CT the town
must be increased to watch and jug
the miscreants. Boys seen with sling
shots or air guns ought to be sent to
the cooler on general principles OF
criminal intent, or perhaps sent to
the reform school for reformation.
There is altogether too much crimi-
nal looseness.

If the Seneca County Courier-a
fool friend of the Mckinley bill-ca II
satisfactorily explain why there ar
SO many failures every day in various
parts Of the country, it may induce
some inquisitive Republicans not to
jump the traces at the next election.
1t is not necessary to tell an intelli-
gent workingman that the Mckinley
bill hasn't raised wages, and every
workman knows that the price Of
protected articles has gone up since
the passage of the monopoIistic III cas-
ure. Therefore of what account is
the humbug act. since its passage has
increased the number of failures.
raised prices, and at the same time
has not given the workingman bet
ter pay? There is no doubt that a
bill to repeal this infamous law will
be introduced ut the next Congress;
and it is entirely safe to say that the
great mass Of the people will not
hang in effigy the Congressman who
does it.-Waterloo, On. Y, Observer.

changed from the Mckinley bill to
the negro as one of 1.-The subjects ly-
ing nearer to the hearts of the Ameri-

tin cup, or whether the color of the
money Of the realm shall be yellow
or white" This is very fine. Now let
Mr.. Clarkson proceed TO change the
subject.

THE FIRE RECORD.
A Lively Blaze In SacramentO-Incen-
diarfsm at st. Joe,

diarism at st. Joe,
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 23.-The most dis
astrous fire that has occurred in Sacra-
mento for years broke out this morning
and destroyed Baker & Hamilton's agri-
cultural implement warehouse, contain
ing valuable stock. The firemen with
difficulty prevented the flames from
communicating to the Southern Pacific
freight sheds across the street from the
burning building. Among the con-
tents of the warehouse were about ,000,-
900 cartridges and their explosion kept
up lively fusillade. Forty pounds of
sample powder exploded just as Fire
men Steve Miller and Trengrone were
entering the room. They were blown
backward and both seriously but not
dangerously injured. The warehouse
building belonged to VIM. H. Howard
of San Francisco; insurance, $4,000;
which will cover the loss, as the walls
are intact. The contents, valued at be-
tween 5000 and $4,000, are nearly a
total loss, but fully covered by insur
ance.
MARTINEZ, CAL, Dec 23.-Early this
morning fire broke out in Chinese
laundry ON Main street, adjoining the
Commercial hotel. A heavy wind was
blowing and it appeared for time as if
the town would be destroyed. Owing
to the lack OF pressure the water could
not be controlled in time and the Com
mercial hotel burned to the ground with
tailor and barber shops adjoining. The
buildings across the street were badly
scorched and windows broken. The
losses aggregate about $l3, 1000.
New YORK, Dec. 23.-John Chatellon
& Sons scale factory burned this morn
ing. Loss, $1l5, 900; fully insured.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. Dec. 23.-At O'Clock
this morning a destructive fire occurred
in a row of frame tenements in the
south part of the city. very nearly re-
sulting in wholesale loss of life. Just as
family residing in the north end of a
tenement left the building, two explo-
sions occurred, totally wrecking the
rooms just vacated. After the fire was
extinguished an investigation developed
the fact that two dynamite bombs had
been secreted between the walls OF the
building. A bed saturated with kerosene
was at the place fired. No reason is
assigned for the deed.
TRENTON. N. j.. Dec. 23.-Early this
morning Cook & Hancock's Crescent
pottery burned. Loss, 100000; fully
insured.

AN EFFICIENT OFFICER.
CHIEF MoORE'S SERVICES RECoG-
NIZED.
Chief Walter S. Moore Celebrated His
4lst Anniversary Yesterday and Was
Very Agresably Surprised by His
Friends.

The routine business of the fire COM
mission was rapidly dispatched by the
three members OF the board who were
in attendance yesterday morning, and
as soon as the clerks table was clear
and a motion to adjourn was in order,
Mayor Hazard arose and addressed HIM
self to Chief Moore, who was taken COM
pletely by surprise, and could not i'm
agine what was coming. The mayor
proceeded to eulogize the Ere depart
ment, and expressed to the chief the
sentiments of the commission in regard
to his very successful reign over the de-
partment and the high esteem in which
he is held by all with whom he is ASSOC
ciated, an com nended him as being an
officer who performs his duty in a fear
less and impartial manner.
AS the mayor concluded his remarks
he handed to Chief Moore a gold watch
of exquisite design, with the chiefs
monogram in gold and silver on the
case. The beautiful timepiece was pre-
sented the chief by the members of the
department as a token of their friend
ship and good wilt, and also in commem-
Grafton Of his 41st birthday.
Chief Moore was about to respond,
when Commissioner Kuhrts interrupted
him for the purpose of presenting mag
nificent gold chain, the gift of the COM
missioners.
After he had recovered from his sur
prise the chief expressed his apprecia-
ton of the kindness shown him by the
department and the commission, and
thanked both for their gifts.
The following inscription is engraved
on the watch Presented to our chief,
Walter Moore, on this December %,
1891, his forty-frst birthday, by the fire
department of Los Angeles"
Chief Moore has served in the fire de-
partment for the past seventeen years,
during which time he has been engaged
in every position in the service, from a
'callman to chief of the entire depart
ment.
