A fire which partially ruined q
frame kitchen broke cut At the
residence of J. r. Resor at llS6
Evans avenue Monday but WAS con-
trolled by the prompt actisn Of
Miss Virgie who turned the lawn
hose upon the flames until the ar
rival of hose company No. l. The
same hose company responded to a
call from the old hose house No. 2
the same night and quickly sub
dued the flames. Fire crackers
caused the trouble In each instance
In the itemized bill which Martin
Hughes presented Mt the last meet
ing of the council, for hauling away
the carcasses of chickens, dogs, cats
rats etc, was enumerated one dead
rabbit. Martin claimed something
like 50 cents for doing the scavenger
act for the rabbit and now Mr.. De
Shea, 1t is reported, is about to in
stitute proceedings against Martin
for numbering his pet rabbit. And
so it seems that Martin got away

order to tax up an undertaking Job
against the city.
The Glorious was a hot, lonely
day in Bessemer and reminded one
of Kansas boom town just after
the boom. The small boy was out
at the lake all day making life
miserable for the picnicers, the
young girl in abundance had taken
her young man on the excursion to
Colorado Springs, and number of
men who went to neither place nor
out to the st. Charles to drink of its
fishy water managed to rustic jag
and crawled into the friendly shade
where they remained all day and at
night came forth to see how the
world had managed to revolve with
out their active aid.
Some of the citizens of the LIST
ward have through one Of their
representatives, Alderman Fisher,
entered protest to the city council
against newsboys riding up on the
sidewalks in delivering papers.
There are precious few sidewalks in
the lst or any other ward in the
city to be ridden upon and very
likely none that could be damaged
by the newsboys who are obliged to
ride close to the fence Ia order to
place the papers In the mall boxes
wherever they occur. If a boy fails
to put the paper in the box a storm
is generally raised and as matter
| of course he cannot dismount every
| time he comes to box. Usually
people don't make a public kick
| without cause but this protest is too
far fetched and should be lightly
regarded by the officers. Don't be
too severe on the newsboys who
have hardships enough to endure.
Frank Gray returned this week
from visit to the Worlds Fair and
in an interview with the INDICATOR
corroborates the statement that the
Colorado exhibition is a fake and
swindle. Mr.. GRAY stated that
men on the grounds who were sup
posed to know placed the cost of
the building at about $500 which
in appearance is no better than the
fiat looking pavilion at Lake Min
nequa, and besides the old shaak Is
built close up to the national build
ing and the Illinois and Michigan
buildings the best on the ground,
which makes the contrast humilia-
ting The exhibition Is poor, the
mineral display being laid in the
shade by Montana's close by, when
Colorado should eclipse anything at
the Fair, not excepting California;
The question arises, what has be-
come of that 100000 appropriated
by the state legislature? From all
reports there is gigantic steal out
somewhere and instead of advertis-
ing Colorado's resources somebody
is making speculation. It is high
time the thing were investigated and
the money being held back be mao. .e
to apply on the exhibit. Mr.. G raw
viewed the condition of affairs with
newspaper mans eye and me- doubt
comes very near stating the facts as
they exist.
