West Side Flats in Need of a Closer
Fire Protection.
AT a meeting of the board of fire COM
missioners last evening Commissioner
Vanish brought up the question of the
securing of site for an engine house
In the Sixth ward. The only property
owned by the board on the West side was
at Page and Oakdale avenue, and Com
missioner Vanish favored the securing Of
site on the flats somewhere between
Wabasha and State streets. The sugges-
ton was referred to the building commit
tee with the understanding that If it was
possible to secure site for a reasonable
figure 1t would be good policy to purchase
while realty was at a low figure.
The invitation Of Rev. S. G. Smith, of
the Peoples church. inviting the members
of the board to attend services Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock, was accepted
The committee on machinery was au-
thorized to purchase a car load Of cedar

sELECT1NG A SITE.

In the selection of a site for market
house there are objections which may be
urged with much force against perhaps
every one of the proposed locations.
Leaving the Eagle street site out of the
question there seems still to be a wide
range from which to make proper Sc
lection
The site which many regard as the most
available, and which the G o b has
been disposed TO regard with favor, is
that known as the Jackson street site.
To that, as well as to the others, there
are some objections being urged, some
Of which appear to be quite well founded.
For instance. it is pointed out that ths
block spoken of includes the building and
premises Of the Relief society. To ne
cessitate that admirable institution and
the others allied with it removing and Sc
curing other quarters would undoubtedly
involve considerable hardship to the
charitable enterprises in question The
city would hardly feel itself called on,
wise, to pay these worthy people the
cost of that property to them, and they
would, accordingly,.be subjected to Pc
cuniary loss Of greater or less proportions
which would have to be made up through
subscriptions from those whose patron
age renders the maintenance of these
splendid charities possible. There Is the
further objection urged that while the
site is in a certain sense quite central
it is not as we'll adapted as it might be
by reason of lack Of street car facilities
said, in. the vicinity, that of Jackson
street, and the service furnished through
that is of an inferior quality.
The G b e in this matter desires sim
ply to advance the best interests of the
taxpayers and of the consumers of the
city. 1t would be more desirable Of
course if a number of local markets
could be established suited to the re-
quirements of each of the more thickly
inhabited districts. This is impractical
BILE, however, and the great end to be
attained presently is the selection of the
most desirable site, in all requirements
Of economy and public convenience, that
can be chosen. To this end the G o b g
is without any special preference It's
objections to the Eagle street site re-
main, as they always have been, irremov-
able.

EPIsTLEs TO ST. PAUL.

"Some queer things happen down in
Nebraska" observed an Omaha man yes
terday at the Windsor hotel. IF you don't
mind or will kindly go into trance, III
relate an episode 1t occurred in the Ne
braska legisla ture-the Pop legislature of
two years ago. Mr.. Quimby. of Comatose
county, was ambitious young man. He
pinned for political preferment, prominence
and pie One day, while attending law
suit in Lincoln, he heard a couple Of
spike-haired attorneys Wrangl1ng over
case just previous to going out and TAX
ing a drink with each other across the
street. Mr.. Quimby was cock-sure they
were in dead earnest, and hostile. So
when one of them insinuated that the
other did not know enough to convey
sausage castings to trained bear, and
the other one dared him to make his
charges specific when he would proceed
to answer him, Mr.. Quimby decided that
the retort was a corker. And he smiled
outwardly and inwardly, simultaneously.
Years slipped away, down the back en-
try of time, and in moment of inadver-
tency the people of Comatose county
elected Quimby to the lower house Of
the legislature. Then he made hot speech
on the Russian thistle bill. Mr.. John
Truax, of Sarpy county, got up on his
legs, and said in reply:
" Mr.. Speaker, I don't want to come
here to git insulted. I gifts sufficient Of
that ter hum, in Their grocery store, frum
Their cracker-jack chewers an cove 'yster
rustlers. L am here jist now, Mr.. Speaker.
to say that Their gentleman from Coma
tose county is a id liar
"Then Mr.. Truax dropped into his chair
Mr.. Quimby was ratified. He wasn't much
on the scrap, but he didn't like to be
made small of in that style. All at once
he remembered what the attorney had
said In the law suit. Happy thought!
Jumping to his feet he threw several
bushels Of defiance into his voice and
windmill gestures, and exclaimed:
Mr.. Speaker, If the gentleman from
Sarpy will only make his charges specific,
I am here to make him look like 80
cents" ~

GOV. PINGREE PLEASED.
Michigan House Refuses to Concur
In Senate Railroad Taxation Bill.

LANSING. Mich. May 23.-The house
today refused to concur in the railroad
taxation bill passed by the senate nearly
two weeks ago increasing railroad taxa
ton under the present law about $4,000
annually.
This afternoon the house passed a. bill.
by vote of Y to %, which increases the
taxes on railroads operated in this state
$500. 900 in round figures over last years
assessment. This renews the fight over
the question of railroad taxation, and it
is possible that the legislature can adj

well pleased with the action of the house
and believes the senate will be forced
now to take some action tending toward
decided increase in railroad taxa
