STOP 1T.

1t will be lucky escape if there is not
tragedy in Pleasantqille, before long,
as the result of the careless handling and
use of firearms by small boys. Lots of
"kids." ranging in age, from nine to
thirteen years old, are running aronnd
with loaded riff es, guns and pistols, and
they are fred and handled in the most
dangerous manner. We have been in-
formed that some of the small boys carry
loaded pistols in their pockets to school,
and only last week loaded rifls cart
ridge was found in a waste paper basket
at the Pleasantville school just as the
contents were about to be turned into
the stove. If this is true, it is high time
for the school authorities to enforce the
law with an iron hand, and put q stop
to such recklessness. There are dangers
enough for children who attend school
without incurring any additional risks
by the careless use of firearms.

SAINT JOHNS
CHURCH BURNED.
Fire Destroyed the Big
Structure Friday Evening.
THE PARSONAGE SAVED ONLY BY HARD WORK.
NOTHING SAVED BUT THE ORGAN AND
THE PARSONAGE SAVED ONLY BY hard WORK.
NOTHING SAVED BUT THE ORGAN AND
SOME CHAIRs.-THE BUILDING AND con-
TENTS WERE INSURED FOR THREE THoUs-
AND DOLLARS.
AND DOLLAR,

st. Johns M. P. Church, the largest
church building in town, was totally de-
stroyed by fire Friday evening. 1t broke
out shortly after 10 O'Clock, near the
chimney in the roof, and in q short time
the flames, famed by brisk Northwest
wind, were beyond control.
The alarm was given, and the Fire
Department promptly responded, but
the distance, wind and flames made it
impossible to save the building when
the engine arrived. 1t did, however,
aided BY hard work on the part of the
citizens, save the Parsonage, almost ad-
joining, from sharing the fate of the
Church.
The night was cold and windy, but all
the neighbors rallied and worked with a
will to save whatever they could, but of
thecontents of the church only an organ
and some of the chairs were saved
The origin of the fire is not definitely
known, but it is believed to have caught
from the chimney, which some think was
cracked and damaged during the terrible
gale on Sunday evening, December 4th.
There had been no fire in it since the big
storm until the usual Friday evening
Glass Meeting, and the fact that the fire
broke out in the roof Immediately adjoin-
ing the chimney, soon after the meeting
was over, would seem to Indicate that
there must have been some defect.
The building and contents were insured
for three thousand dollars, but that will
not cover the loss, as the church was
practically rebuilt and refitted a year or
two ago, and was in excellent condition.
