Everyone that knows anything in

1t is an easy matter to sit down and

The Republicans of Kansas have the
watson meetings of that state in
charge. We have nothing to do with

A CURIOUS MIX-UP.
What Ais the Fire Alarm System of
Signal Wires.

1T is fortunate that the fire was
quickly extinguished in the house OF
Vim. Swalweu at 334 Leland avenue
this morning at 11.30 by the occupants
of the house for had it been a good
sized fire the house and others in the
neighborhood might have been burned.
BY a mistake the fire companies started
in the wrong directions. The alarm
was from box "a. Hose company No
2 read the number properly and went
east on Fourth to Leland. Chemical
company No. , read the box SO and
went east on Eighth street. Hook and
ladder company No. 1 and hose com
pany No. 3 read it box and went to
North Topeka. North Topeka read it
properly and chemical company No. 1
crossed over to station No. to
guard it.
AS it happened none Of the apparatus
was needed. as the fire was extin-
guished before hose company No. 2 ar
rived.
At headquarters. Chief Wilmarth
says chemical company No 2 started
too soon to get the number right. At
No. the companies followed the direc-
tion of the gong, which at that time
happened to be out of order. 1t was a
hard strain on the horses. Accidents
will happen even in the best regu-
lated families said Chief Wilmarth
