NOT 1ACES UP.o

POSTMASTER Mead has sent a largely
signed petition to the post Office depart
ment at Washington to prove that he is
not running a gambling house in the
Miller post office as charged by the
Gazette. This all grew out of the fact
that G. c. Briggs, who occupies the room
in front of the post Office, allowed a game
Of checkers there which attracted a num-
Der of the lovers Of that game. The
Gazette alleged that the "plutocratic"
checker players We're becoming such a
''grasping monopoly" the bleeding
masses" scarcely had room to shift their
positions from one foot to the other, or
aimlessly wander to and fro in front of
the boxes awaiting distribution of the
mails.

Keep your eve on the merchants who
advertise their business-not exclusively
the newspaper advertiser, because there
are a thousand and one ways to advertise
but the men who show little energy
or enthusiasm in their business. Nine
times out of ten their goods are fresher,
better and cheaper.

A TOWN BLAZE.

The residence of II. w. Sawyer on east
Third street caught fire Tuesday night
and burned to the ground. The fire was
supposed to have started from defec-
tive hue, but as there was no one in the
house at the time, its origin Is only con-
lecture. The fire boys were on hand with
hook and ladder truck and hose cart, but
the hose coupled to hydnnt one block
away was not long enough and no assis-
lance could be had from system of water
works costing $4,000, simply for the lack
of hose TO carry the water through. So
the citizens and fireman busted them
SELVES taking out what household goods
they could, and then watched the house
burn down. Fortunately there vas little
wind, ond nothing else caught. Mrs.
Savers piano was got out, but not until
after il was so badly burned as to be al
most worthless. Other household furni-
ture removed was also more or less dam
aged. The greatest loss-at least priced
most by the family-was the many paint
ings about the house, the handiwork of
Mrs. Sawyer.
We understand the building was insur-
ed for 5000. in a Kentucky company, aud
the furniture and household goods for
$500, in the Traders of Chicago. Mr..
Sawyer and family are staying at the home
OF J. S. Morrill, for the present.

As usual we ali know just what ought
to have been done at the Sawyer fire to
put it out, save goods, get water, ETC. and
are free With our criticisms, some lust
maybe and others unjust The PRESS
dosent wish to be considered in the line
of a kicker, but desires TO accept this
opportunity to direct the serious at
tention OF citizens to an existing in
justice to our firemen, which by little
forethought may lie ayerted hereafter.
When the fire bell tapped, three men
took the hose cart out OF the fire house,
they were joined by two more who ran to
the first corner, where one more Jolned
in, making six in all. Another half block
was passed and one man fell out, leaving
fiye to yank the cart as best they could.
The hook truck was in about the same
shape, All this time dozens Of men were
running by on both sidewalks without
the slightest idea that the few firemen
needed any assistance. The result was
that there were fully fifty men, who had
come from the main street, standing look
ing at the fire when the fire boys arrived
with their apparatus Now isin't that so?
Can any citizen say that is not a fair and
correct statement 4? And ought we not
now profit by this experience, and do
differently next time ?
OF course you may say We have fire
company to do this, but il is volunteer
company, under no more Obligation to do
this work than any other citizens; they
live in yarous parts of the town and
cannot all get to the fire house in time
But unless it is at night, and after bed
time, there are plenty of men on the street
or in business houses who could reach the
fire house quickly, and be Of great assis-
tance to the few fremen who start the
trucks. They need all the help they can
get in pulling the trucks to the fire or
hydrants, then they can and will do their
, own work. On behalf of the firemen.
who do all in their power without re-
muneraton, it is to be hoped and expect
ed that all citizens who happen to be near
enough will hereafter assist the boys in
getting out their apparatus.
