new HOME ef THE ALERT.
4 Fire Company Which NIII Soon BE
Handsomely Housed.

The new Alert hose house is about
ready to be turned over to the city. The
building is erected on the site of the old
hose house on Capitol avenue, and Is a
very handsome substitution for the old
one. The building is two stories, built OF
red brick with a red stone front in the
modern style of architecture, with a large
hanging bay window at one OF the corners.
The front has a double door, above which
is carved in the stone arch the motto of
the company, I'VE strive to save, and
still above on the front is Alert Hose
carved IN tine stone. Above a small door
is the date of the formation of the com
panv, ISL
The interior is fully as attractive as the
exterior. On the lower floor there are
two rooms for keeping the carts, which
rave double hard wood floors. The wood
work is paiuted. 10 a light shade. There
is also opening into the front room an
apartment sufficiently large to accommo-
date two horses, provided they are ever
supplied for use on the carts. The room
at present will be used as a general store
room for odds and ends.
The second floor Is fitted up more as a
home for the members of the company
with sleeping rooms, closets, bath room
and a large room to be used for meetings
or as a club room. The room at the rear
end Of the second floor has been parti-
toned into three sleeping rooms and also
has nine closets for the slowing away of
the uniforms of the members. The closets
and bath rooms are fitted up in the best
possible fashion with porcelain tub and
wash stand. The large room in the front
will be furnished by the company at their
own expense and will be fitted up 10 a be
httlng!y elegant manner. The entire
b%uilIing Is fitted for either gas or electric
lighting, although the latter will probably
be used as it is much more convenient in
a building of the kind.
The Alerts are provided with a hose
tower in the enter OF the building for the
drying ofthe hose, which will be raised
and stretched by a system Of wheels. The
hose house is heated by a hot air system
similar to the one used in the capitol
building and is guaranteed to prove salts
factory.
There is some talk among the members
of putting a billiard table in the small
cart room on the ground floor as their OBJ
ject is to make the hose house as attractive
as possible to the members. The work on
the house is all completed excepting a
small amoun to be lone on the water
pipes to stop a leakage. The new hose
house will be when furnished, one of the
neatest and most attractive buildings in
the city and the Alerts will have reason
TO feel proud of their new home.

FFesh Mormon Huuud Il
the Promised Land.

A party of Mormons about 200 IN
number passed through yesterday on their
way to Utah where they will be scattered
over the territory. The party occupies
six coaches.
Elder W. H. Evans had charge OF the
party and proudly pointed to a number of
them as his converts to the flock Of Utah
saints. Evans himself Is an Euglishman.
He claimed hat the party was well
supplied with means to take care OF
themselves after reaching Utah; that
most of them had been farmers iu the old
country and would 90 on ranches when
they reached their destination. The
majority OF the new made saints are
Scapdinavians, who were joined at Liver
pool by a few English converts. They
all ahjured ~Dolygamy and the women of
the party are probably safe as the most
ambitious old elder would hesitate before
choosing any of them for a wife even in a
spiritual selection.
The immigrants were travelling in chair
cars and we're in a hurry to reach Zion.
About forty Of the party were children,

feudant, was heard before Judge Scott

up in accordance with these terms and
Mr.. Hopkins invested 10 the stock of the
company. Afterwards he became tired of
his investment aud within the stated time
called upon the company to take up their
agreement.

a subsequent verbal agreement with Mr..
Hopkins to wait for his mouey and take
1t out of the profits of the business.

SOME l. TALn.
A. G.. McGregor Has the Matter Under
CONSIDERATION.

Some letters have been handed to the
Board of Trade in regard to the building
of a s~ixty-ton iron smelter in the city.
The letters are from a promoter in Silbia,
Kas., who claims that he has some par
ties who own a smelter near Cincinnati,
o., who wish to secure a new location.
Their smelter has been supplied with ore
from a mine that is now exhausted and
the promoter thinks he can get them to
locate here. The letters have been prin-
cipally i~nterrogatory in character. The
writer wants the citizens to take 800, 900
worth OF stock in the enterprise. he to
have $4,000 of the stock as a bonus.
HIS letters will be answered by the Board
o. Trade to the best of their ability and if
satisfactory the c rrrespondent expects to
be out here about the 18th of July with
the parties who are to erect the smelling
plant.
The matter came up before the Board
of Trade some time CO., but they dropped
the correspondence, which has since been
carried ON by A G. McGregor. The To-
cation for the plant will have to be do
mated to the company and that Mr..
McGregor will contribute IRON his tract of
land east Of the city.

In its November number the Cos.
mopolitan will publish series of let
ters written by Gen. w. II. Sherman
to one of his young daughters, be-
tween the years 1859 and 1865 and
covering most of the important events
of the war of secession. These letters
present graphic pictures of a great
soldier amid some of the stirring
scenes in which he was giant figure,
and in them the patriotic spirit of the
Federal general is seen to have been
most attractively tempered by a
strong affection for the Southern peo-
pie. The fraternal feeling which
glows in these letters is in refreshing
contrast to the sectional bitterness
which characterized the period, and
they will constitute an interesting
and important contribution to the
literature of the war.

thing for the national democracy by
granting her favors, and remarks:
1t is doubtful whether Bynum's
trip through the northwest will en-
able him 10 defeat Springer for the
speakership of the next house. Dem
Ocrats interested in furnishing q
presidential candidate from the ex-
treme east will support Springer as
the representative of the section that
swelled the democratic majority.
Mills, whose claims rest chiefly on
the bill he fathered, halls from a Sec
ton already democratic and little is
to be gained by his advancement fur
sher than to emphasize the free trade
issue. Bynum, as the representative
of pivotal state, is undoubtedly a
strong candidate, but from the pres
ent outlook Bill Springer has the
prize practically within his grasp.
So it would seem from this mode of
reasoning that there is such thing
as having state too democratic for
profit.
