A BooKKEEPERs' CLUB.
Movement on Foot to Organize Such
an Institution.

A movement is being made on the
part Of the book-keepers and Office
men of the city to organize a Book
keepers club for the purpose of pro-
noting the welfare and efficiency Of
those employed in these lines 1t IS
thought that the formation of such a
club will prove particularly beneficial
to young men just leaving the various
business colleges to engage in the ac-
tual life of business
AS the idea of any thing political or
savoring of union is most decidedly
against the ideas upon which the club
will be founded, the movem ant should
receive the hearty cooperation of em-
ployers, who can only be benefited by
the higher efficiency Of their o0ice
men; and further Is this emphasized in
the fact that an employer desiring a
book keeper or other office hep can
through the recommendation OF the
club, secure the services Of men who

INCENDIARY
FIRE SET OUT AMONG EIGHT
WHEAT STACKS.
1t Belonged to Mr.. Ross and He Says
Thousand Bushels Went Up.

Night before last, just before midnight,
there was big fire on Paramount, in
which eight stacks of wheat, containing in
all about 1000 bushels, were consumed.
The fire is supposed to have been incen-
diary. In fact there appears to be little
doubt on this point. The wheat was the
property of George Ross of this city and
was in the stack, having been grown on
the forty acres lying near Paramount col
lege The fire attracted a great deal of at
tention. The glow against the sky could
be seen for miles, and as the stacks went
up one by one, the scene was a brilliant
one. 1t was a long way out, and no alarm
was turned in. Several people on the hill
turned out to fight the flames, but the
high wind rendered their efforts futile. It
is not known who set the fire out and why
he should desire to burn the wheat.
Mr.. Ross was seen by a reporter for the
Eagle and asked if the grain was insured
He said it was.
This being the case, the insurance COM
panies will probably inquire into the origin
Of the fire and arrests viii be made.
