The collision of the Friendship Fire

Friday afternoon, will probably re-
suit in some new arrangement regard
ing the drivers Of the carriages
The arrangement in existence now
among the various companies is to the
effect that when an alarm is sent in
that the first member OF the company
who a secures a horn, which hangs in
a conspicuous place about the fire
house. assumes charge of the hose
carriage, drives the horse, and is hose
director at the fire.
BY many this is considered a bad
plan, as an inexperienced driver may
obtain possession OF the roins and ac-
cidenis are liable to occur. The com
panies are not sufficiently provided
with funds to pay a regular driver fol-
the carriage. and that is where the
difficulty lies.

GREAT WALLACE SHOWS.
The Great Wallace Shows will spread
their acres of white canvass in this city
on Friday September Is, and il the ad-
vance reports are to be believed the
tented institution this season is one of
the largest circuses in America. The
press of every city in which the shows
have exhibited have been lavish in
their praise, particularly the Pittsburg
(Pa) Chronicle Telegraph. where the
shows appeared short time ago. This
great newspaper has among other good
things the following to say:
The title of The Greatest Show on
Earth has been claimed by many ag-
gresations which annually visit this
vicinity, but il Is certain there are none
greater than the Great Wallace Shows.
which appeared her Monday and Tues.
day Of this week
Not a feature as advertised was
omitted, and all who attended the per-
formances were loud in their praises of
the production and the honest way in
which the management conducts the
gigantic affair.
The management also claimed that
the shows are lofty in conception regal
in appointment, and pure in character
This is all true, and more especially
the latter. There Is nothing in any OF
the many and varied features OF this
great show to cause a blush on the
cheek Of the most modest.
Indeed, there is no feature of tn,
great combined show which is not Grs
class and far above the average, ant
no one need hesitate about going an,
taking their wives and families OF
sweethearts. and they can rest assure,
they will be well entertained. Anyon,

the features are so novel and STARTLING
that one could not tire OF seeing them

the market was left in control of local
professionals the tendency was down

before there were any symptoms of re-
cuperation. The recovery was brought
about by buying orders commenc-
Ing to tumble in from outside
sources. induced apparently by threaten
ed cold weather damage to winter wheat
and reports of heavy exports from At
lantic ports. The foreign buying became
so persistent that shorts were forced to
cover and May was gradually bid up to

ceipts were comparatively small. The
market held fairly steady unrll within
half an hour of the close. when the buy

local spectators flooded the pit with long

The market became quite heavy under
this pressure and May was forced down

The Plan Not Approved.

Santiago, Jan. 5.-The explanation of
the war department of its intentions re-
gardng the transfer of the customs re-
ceipts from different ports in Cuba to Ha-
vana is met here by the statements from
Cubans that the plan is similar to the one
adopted by the Spaniards. When requis-
tions were made on Havana they obtained
less than per cent. of what the requis-
items called for. Merchants, business men
and influential people here say Havana
has grown rich and prosperous at the ex-
pense of the rest of the islands, and Gu
bans and governmental officials at San
tiago say the Cubans of Havana are re-
sponsible for General Brooke's order on
this subject.
General Wood and DIR. Castillo left for
New York to-day. en- route to Washing
ton to see the president on the subject. 1t
is thought the situation is critical. 1t is
doubtful whether any overt act will be
committed unless the populace is aroused

will take charge as editor and propri-
etor of the Madisonian, having pur-
chased the newspaper from w. w.
Cheely, who for the past four years
has been owner and editor of the same
The sudden changing of proprietors of
this paper is somewhat of a surprise
to the citizens of Madison county. 1t
had become known to a few that such
a deal might be made, but not until
Saturday last was the announcement
made public. The money consideration
has not been made public, but it no
doubt was no small sum, for the bust
ness of the Madisonian is known to be
good one, and it is among the first
in circulation of weeklies in the state,
condition due largely to the efforts
of Mr.. Cheely during his reign as ed
itor and proprietor. The history of
the Madisonian as a paper is well
known to all pioneers of the state. 1t
is the Oldest newspaper in the state
and enjoys the notoriety of being the
first paper edited in the state, the only
change being in it's name. From the
beginning of the papers history up to
the present time the business has al
ways paid and well, but never has it
been in as flourishing a condition as
at the present time. During Mr.. Chez
ly's residence in the city he has made
many friends, not only in the city, but
throughout the entire county, who will
be panied to learn of his intention to
soon leave the city and county, at the
same time hoping that wherever he
may so the sunshine of success may
ever shine bright upon his pathway
Mr.. Smith, the new editor and propr-
etor, is young man and comes TO
our city highly recommended as
man of worth. ability and sterling
qualities, and above all, hustler. In
portions of the county Mr. Smith is
somewhat known. as for some time
past he has been employed at the
Letter mine, and previous to that Mr..
Smith was a resident of Dillon.
The new county officers elected this
fall assumed their offices Monday OK

The holiday week in this city has
been a lively one in social circles, re-
