has been cleaning out the basement of the old
car shops occupied by the Thresher Co., as a

water and rubbish and quite a number of the
engines stored there were embedded in sand and
mud depth of two feet or more. They will
have to be removed, washed and repainted, en-
failing a loss of several hundred dollars.

ut is an i'll wind that blows nobody good is
an old saying which has oft been repeated
about the city during the past week. While the
visitations of property-destroyin storms, floods
and tempests are ever to be regretted it is an
undeniaDle fact that the storm and flood which
visited our fair city last week carrying death
and destruction in its merciless wake, has been
the means of furnishing hundreds of worthy I'M
employed citizens with employment by which
they have been enabled to provide themselves
and loved ones with the necessaries of life.
Saltwater is infested with a gang of young
toughs and hoOdlums who are fast paving their
way to residence within the realms wherein this
paper is published. Several instances of their
petty depredatiOns have been chronicled of late
but owing to the pleadings of and the respect
borne for their parents the Offenses have been
overlooked and permitted to drop without pros
ecution. Encouraged by their previous easy es-
capes. a number of these criminally inclined
youths entered the confectionery and cigar store
of E. Barscht Thursday of last week and stole
money and property to the value of $25 or $50.
| Boys, we would ask you to remember that right
| here within these massive prison walls are 500
men who were once the beloved sons of loving
| and indulgent parents, who advised and shielded
them III their youth from severe and disgracefui
punshments, just as you are now being advised
and shielded from the results of your wrong
doing. But the time came when parental love
and parental pleadings could no longer hold back
the strong arm of the law and here they are, en-
tombed within prison cell, greving over and
regretting the follies of misspent life, and wish
ing in vain that they had Obeyed the loving ad
monitions of mother and father, now dead ant
gone Boys, this is the fate in store for you. i
you do not change your course. Take our wore
for it, there is no pleasure nor profit in wrong
doing.
