Pittsburg, a City of I3, 700,
Without Fire Projections
Firemen Resign Because Wages
Are Not Raised.
COUNCIL is HELPLESS.
Votes to Give Them S. Addi-
tiOnaI Monthly Salary
But the Firemen Want SIS and
Leave In Disgust.

Pittsburg, Sept 9.-The city fremen
created CONSERVATION by resigning in 4
body last night at the council meeting.
This action was caused over a question
of salaries.
The friends of the fremen asked that
the council give the men a raise of So
each monthly.
Letters from Joplin, Fort Scott and
Parsons were read covering what each
paid its firemen.
Parsons paid drivers and plugmen
$40 q month and its fire chief $50
month
Fort Scott pays its fremen $40 a
month and its fire chief $50 per
month.
Joplin pays its fremen $50 and its
chief $50 per month.
Berger objected to Parsons being
considered at all as in the same class
with Pittsburg. He contended that a
town of about 5000 inhabitants should
not be compared with one of Is. 900.
Mr. LanyOn said that there was much
less difference between Parsons and
Pittsburg than between Pittsburg and
Joplin.
On motion of Eakin seconded by Ber-
ger the salaries of the 6remen were
raised s. each per month.
The men then promptly resigned and
the city IS without fire protection. The
finances of Pittsburg Will not allow the
council to do better by the men.

ROCK ISLAND PROSPERITY.
The Road Doing an Immense Freight
and Passenger Business

As an idea of the immense amount of
business which the Rock Island rail-
road is now doing, it is a fact that
ent time than it has been for many
years past. This is true in both the
passenger and freight departments. In
the passenger traffic, the travel is ex-
tremely heavy and nearly every train
on the entire system is now of extra
length or else made up into two sec
lions.
In the freight traffic, it may be said
that there is such a quantity of grain
and old corn being moved as well as
many thousand head of stock going to
and from the markets, that nearly eV-
cry available box and stock car is kept
in continuous service. To prepare for
the anticipated increase of the next few
months, an order for several hundred
new cars has been placed at the COM
pany'S shops, and an extra force of
workmen are turning them out with all
