FOR BETTER FIRE SERVICE.
How the FIRE departmsat Of the town
can be greatly strengthened and
made much more effective with \
small expense.

About the proper thing to do just
new would be to talk up Strengthening
the fire department of the city to the
extent of buying \ team aud wagon
and putting couple Of men on pay
whose duty it would be to be on the
alert day and night and respond instant
| ly to the fire alarm.
As matters now are. unless somebody
is close by with \ team hitched to =
| light wagon when the fire alarm is
given, a few men must drag the heavy
hose cart as best they may and be en-
tirely worn ou; when they reach the
fire, The volunteers do well, every
body knows that. But too much can
not be expected of volunteer com
pany. especially when the members
have to drag the apparatus to fire
often tunes half mile or more away.
Even with u team and wagon and a
couple OF paid men the volunteer com
panies would remain Ms they are, and
their work would be many times more
effective.
The good work done at fire is done
in the beginning. and with All outfit
could be gotten promptly on the ground
In the case of burning building five
| inn
|, would not be amiss at this time,
also to investigate what the cost of an
electric alarm system woul,i he. The
Gamewell system which was laid aside
is too expensive for ths wants of Bes-
semer. What the town needs is less
expensive affair with an electric battery
in the city hall with wires branching in
all directions with the necessary boxes
that an alarm can be turned in instantly
1t would be encumbent on the clerk
and janitor to see that they both never
leave the city hall at the same tune and
to ring the bell the moment an alarm is
sent in The location of fire could
be easily determined by an agreed set
of signals
This greatly needed Improvement
would not cost much and would he
money well spent. There are oppor-
tunities yet by which the running ex-
penses of the town can be materially
reduced and the money turned to good
use. Let the people take hold of this
thing and push it through, 1t should

Ahead of the Coal Combine
To THE PUBLIC:

To THE PUBLIC:
Some six weeks ago (if you remem-
ber) we were forced to close eur
doors by the combine coal monopoly,
composed of all retail coal agents in
this city. They did it for the sole
purpose of running US out OF busi-
ness, so they could dictate what coal
you should have, and what price you
should pay for it; moreover, they
threw cut of employment some As or
30 men who had their families to
support. Since this happened we
have not left stone unturned to
down them, and today it is our
pleasure to state to the public that
we have beaten the combine, and
have plenty of all grades of the very
best Goals. We will further state we
are the sole agents for the celebrated
unequaled coal that comes from our
home mine, operated by the Pueblo
& Rocky Mt. Coal Co. This coal is
something like the Cameron coal.
We have put out only tive cars.
(this being the output of the mine
up to date, and have testimonials
from all who have used it, and they
say it is far better than any Canon
Coal. We sell this coal cheaper
than Canon.
With the assistance Of your patron.
age we think we can make it in
terestlng for the combine monopoly
We weigh all coal on city scales,
and send you what you buy. All
orders given prompt attention.
Trusting you will give us a call
we are

John Sicily was arraigned before Rec

charged with brutal assault and battery
upon his wife. He lives at No. 625 Willow
avenue, Hoboken.
Last night Skelly went home in an ugly
mood and abused his wife, Il frail little
woman, who refused to work the GROWER"
for him. Mrs. Skelly's invalid mother,
seventy years old, sat nearby in a rock
ing chair. Skelly seized his wife and
hurled her with terrific force to the floor.
She screamed and he kicked her. Mrs,
Skelly's mother protested and the husband
threatened 10 kill her on the spot If she
didn't hold her tongue. Sicily continued to
beat mis- wife until Sergeant Jaeobus. VINO

the ambulance and the man and wife we've
taken to the Second precinct station
Dr.. Clausen examined Mrs. Skelly and pro
bounced the upper jawbone fractured, a rib

she may lose it. She was taken to st. Mary's
Hospital, where she lies in a precarious con-
dition. Skelly was held in default of bail
for the Grand Jury.
