The sunday Nigh, Fire,

That the fire on Sunday night was of incendiary origin seems not to admit of any doubt and most rigid investigation should be set on foot to discover the pevpetrator or per- petrators of the dastardly act.
 Section 702, penal code of the re- vised statutes, 1887 reads as follows:
 Maliciously burning in the night time an inhabited building in which there is at the time some human be- ing, is arson in the first degree. All other kinds of arson are of the second degree.
 The punishment provided Is as fol- lows: Arson in the first degree not less than two years imprisonment and it may be extended to life. Ar son in the second degree not less than one or more than ten years.
 A man who will deliberately set fire to a building, at the hour oi midnight, in which human beings are asleep, and who are liable to be burned to death, must be murder CT at heart. Mrs. Norton was sich at the time, in bed, from which she has been unable to move for month while in the lodging apartments above were many roOmers, asleep who might have perlshed in the ] flames.
 The building was insured fol S1.200. MT. Norton's stock was ln sured for $500 and his furniture to S2OO, a total of $500. Mrs. Willis who managed tha lodging apart ments in the second story took out a policy for 800, on Saturday last after the attempt was made to burr the building on Friday night.

IL wnI be a Rare Treat.

Miss Addie Murphy is taking sub scriptions for Humorous, Drama tic and Heroic Reading" !" to be given hero next month, probably March Is, by Prof. k. l.. Cumnock, the king of elocutionists in the United States. Prof. Cumnock will make trip to California, and it is the pur- pose of Miss Murphy to have him stop en route and give the people of Prescott and Phenix an opportunity to hear him. His recitals will be from Shakespeare, Dickens and other standard authors. The following from The Lumen, of Toulon, Hi nois, Is but a sample of thousands of notices received by him:
 Prof. Cumnock's rendition of the Scotch aud Irish character studies was perfect; indeed, he may we'll be pardoned fer an apparent tendency to confne himself to that, when one thinks of the amazing success he makes of that field. The gentleman is to be thanked for bunging out that splendid selection from one of the well nigh unknown poets -"Jock Johnstone, the Tinkler, from James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, and friend ol Burns. That grand and stirring scene from The Lady of the Lake" was realistic to a degree. From the beginning to the end, every selection was masterpiece. IL is not often We hear a program of such solid merit. Indeed, there are
 few persons who would dare attempt | to hold and interest a miscellaneous audience with such program. But ! Prof. R. L. Cumnock can do it. An | evening with him Is a rare treat.

Dr. Cyrus Edson, of New York, has discovered what he calls a rational treatment for phthisis.' v It consists of PrePeration of carbolic acid, which he calls asep- tolin injected into the blood. It is stated that about fifty physicians in the country have procured asePtolin from pr. Edson's laboratory, 2i Whitehall street, New York city, and are using it in their practice. It has cured every case of malaria and la grippe in which it has been tlied.seventy seven in all of malaria and ffty-one of la grippe. Experi- ments have not yet reached that stage where the doctor feels iusti- fed in calling it d cure, but it is what he terms it, rational treat ment. It kills the germs inside the body just as they have been killed outside ever since the first colony was cultivated and it is the using for the purpose the agents nature herself creates or secretes to do this work.

School Entertainment.

The Washington's birthday school
entertainment, given at the opera
house Thursday evening drew alarge
audience, and the customary lengthy
program was more than usually well
received. Perhaps the great feature
was a debate on the question that
Washington was a greater man than
Lincoln. The affirmative was ably
handled by Roy Stout, Miss Clara
Olson and James Pinkham, and the
negative by Charles Carroll, Miss
Grace White and Philip Cutting, the
Judges deciding in favor of the afir-
native. Some splendid music was
furnished by Miss Maud Preston,
violin, Mack Miller, baritone horn,
Mrs. q. c. Briggs, organ. Morris
Burk and Fred Sweetland sang solos,
with choir chorus.
Good essays were read by Miss
Linnie Erickson, Miss Myrtle Mellow
an, and Harley Bushteld.
There were n number Of interesting
tableauX, and a %pantomine song by
Miss Trythall's primary class.
A closing feature was q recitation
by Miss Margie Davis.
Prof. Davis evidently has his school
we'll in hand, enjoying at once the
distinction Of both friend and tutor
among pupils and teachers.

Died, in Carleton township on the
morning of Feb. %, Loyt R. only
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Casterline passed
quietly away after an illness of six
weeks. His disease was diphtheria.
He was born in Carleton, Nov. %,
1887. His little body was laid to
rest in Howell cemetery March 4 be.
side an aunt who was called away
two and a half years previous.
Little Loyt had only seen nine brief
summers, but it was long enough to
endear himself to all who knew him,
and through these last weary weeks
he bore all his pain and suffering
with the patience and fortitude of
one far beyond him in years, seem
ing to realize that his end was draw
ing near.
HE has gone beyond the river
Where with loved ones he may stand;
Where again his voice may greet us
When we near that beforehand"

Exchange:-"Ducks and geese are

Thus warbled the confiding and
trusting newspaper man last week,
all over the state, after q very open
winter, and the thermometer at 60
degrees above as we approached the
last Goth of February in the 10th
century. But one of those things oc-
cured which discloses O ridiculous
side of human nature. Just about
the time weekly papers were issued,
all containing witty paragraphs on
the weather, a snow storm set in,
and the Goth of February produced
q genuine blizzard, such as had not
been seen here for a long time. 1t
was impossible to see 100 yards,
and a regular nor'wester piled up
drifts everywhere. In fact the last
two days of February and the LIST
day of March gave us more real win
ter in three days than we had exper-
fenced in the preceding three months.
The only satisfaction we can have
over this affair is that it brings more
moisture and-those fool geese don't
know any more than us fellows who
only "quack" once a week.
