Bettar Watch Out.

That the period Of the greatest danger
of the destruction of property by fire is
at hand, is evidenced by the numerous
accounts of fires which have recently
appeared in the newspapers of the Hills
Special care should now he observed in
the management of this indispensable
but nevertheless dangerous element, for
the experience of our citizens during
the past year or two, has dispelled en-

While all classes Of business, and all
people are more or less effected
by the prevailing dizziness of the times,
it is especially burdensome, not to say
annoying to the newspaper man. The
merchant NAV sit down and wait for a
customer, and the wage Garner may
smuse himself as may best suit his fancy
while he is waiting for job. but the
newspaper man must by reason Of the
extreme dullness. work much harder
while his income is correspondingly less.
He is subjected to the full force Of the
financial pressure, but unlike others,
who can sit down and wait the turn OF
the tide, he must work all the harder
while he awaits the good time coming
when the country shall haye recorded
another change.

A fire at Lead City on Monday result
ed in the destruction of property valued
at $4,000. The fire originated in the
Searles building which was damaged to
the amount of $4,000, which is covered
by insurance. Mr.. Meddaugh, the pho
tographer, lost the greater part of his
stock, valued at 81 900, upon which there
was no insurance. The fire is generally
believed to have been the work of an
incendiary.

The Lead City Tribune says Bishop
Marty of the Catholic church has order
ed that the Deadwood parish Of that
church be discontinued, and the church
work be added to the Lead parish and
in charge Of Father Redmond of that
city. Father Goodwin of Deadwood
will leave the Hills. We are told that
this change is brought about and nee
essitated by financial matters, as the two
parishes could not support the two
priests, the Deadwood parish not being
able to pay running expenses, and as
there was an old debt hanging over the
church the consolidation is made for
the purpose of clearing it up, and also
bridge over the depression in money
matters.
