the costly apartments of the Lieutenant
Governor or across the hall in the rooms
of the superintendent of public instruc-
ton, Schaffer, who was alone in his office
when the fire was discovered. lie did all
he could to check the fire. but IL was not
in his power. All he saved were the APP
preparation books. Thousands of dollars
worth of records were lost. The flames
had eaten their way through the Senate
roof before the fire department arrived.
Part CT the roof tumbled In before the
water was started. Then the streams
were so small that they had no effect on
the flames. Soon the great dome was u
mass of flames. This burned like shay
ings. The fire quickly communicated to
the House side. The House was in scs-
sion when the fire was discovered, and IL
quickly adjourned. Before the great dome
fell one patriotic citizen crawled through
the mass of flames and hauled down the
flag. lie was loudly cheered. Several

The legislative junketing party which
arrived at Lapeer at midnight Saturday
night had rather disagreeable welcome.
On account of the lateness of the hour,
there were no hacks at the depot to con-
vey the gentlemen to their hotel, so the
honorable legislators set ON foot In quest
of place to lay their weary heads for
the night, but In their wanderings lost
their way. After tramping through the
snow banks for about two hours they
finally ran across the city marshal, who
at first took them for hobos and was on
the point of running them In, when they
finally convinced him that they did not
belong to that fraternity. Thereupon the
marshal conducted them to their hotel.
Early in the morning, accompanied by
Commissioner John Hevener, they drove
to the home of the feeble-minded and
after careful examination found every
thing in apple pie order.

BOuider's Parks,

A writer in the Denver Republican
scores Boulder because she has no pub
lie parks, and thinks thatit will never be
the attractive spot that it might De until
some such places are provided. There
is some truth in this, but grounds for a
park within easy reach of all would be
pretty expensive for the city. While
ultimately it would probably prove a
good investment, there are so many
things imperatively needed now tina,
public opinion would not justify the
council in expending good many thou
sand dollars for park.-Boulder News.
