Although February has but %
days this year and the year is divisi-
BILE by four it is not leap year. The
reason given for this state OF affairs
says an exchange, is the early as
tronomers were not onto their job,
so to speak. They figured on 1861
days for the earth's rotation, and
so placed 1865 days in a year and
for every fourth year put in day
to average up. But the solar year
is II minutes %. 85 seconds less than
365l days, hence the calendar keeps
getting ahead of the sun. This IS
the why and wherefore OF the pres
ent solar time table, in which sched-
ule February has only % days and
leap year gets the go by.

A thrilling story was related to the
police department this, Thursday morn
ing, by William Baker, who resides at
1927 Virginia avenue, at whose place OF
business fire occurred at / o'clock
this morning. The Baker residence con-
sists of the lower half of the building
used as a grocery and the upper story
as a living place, Baker and his family
occupying the upper rooms. Shortly
after 12 o'clock Baker alleges that
small child in the family was awakened
by the smell of smoke which was grow
ing suffocating. The outcries of the lit
tie one aroused the other members of
the family, and they too were enveloped
in smoke. Baker discerned the trouble
as coming from down stairs in the gro
Gerry, where he heard the cracking Of
flames, and believing his mode Of egress
to be cut off through the lower part of
the building, he lifted a big trunk
which was swung with great force
through a window. shattering the panes
and driving out a part Of the sash.
Quickly he summoned the members Of
the family and they were pushed
through the opening and gained the roof
of small addition to the house in the
rear. In this manner they escaped the
dense smoke and probable suffocation.
ALARM TURNED IN.
An alarm was turned in from box 81
at the intersection of Gibbs and Lip
pert street and hose companies Nos. Q
and and the apparatus and firemen
from the central engine house respond
ed. The door on Gibbs street was
broken open with fire "jimmes'' and an
entrance gained through it to the gro
cery, where the interior was alive with
flames. A stream of water and bab-
cock from No. 2 company were piled up
on the fire and the flames were very
easily extinguished. Some of the stock
was destroyed.
The mystifying part of the story
was discovered afterward, according to
Bakers story. Several policemen ap-
peared on the scene about that time,
and to them Baker stated that his
place had been burglarized then fired

Whatever the supreme court may say
about it the fact remains that the
trainers of the war tax law intended
that the revenue stamp on an express
package or a telegram should be paid
by the express and telegraph companies
The language of the act is rather nebu
lous, it is true. but of the intention of
congress there can be no doubt. The
people are getting very tired of the war
taxes and think they should not be
compelled to lick stamps to provide
funds for war that is over.

Echoes from the late Republican
convention in Alliance are reaching Can
ton and it appears that the east end
Republicans are not at all pleased with
the treatment they received at the
hands of the party leaders. At the
county primaries some Alliance men
saw fit to ask for recognition, but it was
not accorded them. Their candidates
were turned down in the most heartless
fashion as fast as they came up, and
this in the face Of a warning from the
party organ at Alliance that the east
end was tired furnishing the majorities
and getting none Of the offices. Now
Alliance, after loyalty supporting Baker
for congress, and then moving to make
Tayler's nomination unanimous, gets
nothing in return save Col. Morgan for
delegate to the national convention, the
very thing that Alliance did not want.

Senators will hardly be expected TO
support the measure calling for the
election of members of the upper house
of congress by a direct vote Of the peo-
pie. Especially is this true of Republi-
can senators who owe their positions to
the corrupt use of money to buy the
votes of legislators. There are quite a
number of men in the United States
senate who would not be there if the
people had been given an opportunity
10 make the selection. 1t is strongly
suspected also. that one of them, at
least, halls from Ohio.

by the parties who entered. He alleges
that a rear door to the grocery had
been left standing open by the parties
who
COMMITTED THE CRIME,
and that the money drawer had been
rihed of about $40 or $45 in cash, some
hams taken, also clothes lines, packages
of rolled oats and a large quantity Of
tobacco. Sergeant Riblet and officers
Grossklaus and Rohn are making an in
vestigation of the story. One of the Of
ficers stated that the investigation will
proceed until the guilty parties are
apprehended.
When the officers began their inves-
tgation at the building, Baker told them
concerning several suspicious charac-
ters who had been lettering about the
place during the past few days. They
were also told that suspicious looking
fellow had been seen lurking about the
building late Wednesday night, and a
description of this fellow has been Sc
cured and the police believe they have
a clue to his identity. 1t appears that
the rear door of the grocery was found
standing open, showing evidently that
some one had been inside and perhaps
left the place in that manner. The
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE
is still somewhat of a mystery. The
firemen state that the flames were con-
fined to floor underneath the counter
and to a spot on the wall adjoining the
stairway leading to the living rooms
above. A lamp usually has been placed
in @ bracket at the side of the stair
way, and 1t was at first believed that
this had exploded and caused the fire.
But the police stated that this lamp was
found lying on a counter Immediately
below the bracket, the lamp bursted into
pieces, and the oil flowing over the
counter. 1t appears that portion of the
counter was not burned and some of
the oil was still visible there when the
police called this, Thursday morning.
Baker is a molder and the grocery
is run by his wife and family in his alb
sence from home. There are indications
that the place had been entered, but the
police are in somewhat of a quandary
as to the manner in which the burglars
entered. The clues afforded the police
by Baker will be taken up and they may
possibly result in the apprehension OF
the guilty parties.

One of the amusing incidents in con-
nection with the little diplomatic fuss
with Turkey over about 100000 is that
Secretary Hay doesn't know what to
do If the sultan still refuses to pay. The
country will hardly want to go to war
with the sick man of Europe and 1t
seems that about all that can be done is
to take judgment and then wait till the
sultan can settle. The old harem pro-
prietor has no ports left for this coun-
try to assume control Of till the amount
is paid, for the sultan has sold bonds SO
often and given port as security that
he cannot even take a little boat ride
himself without paying tolls to some
other nation and his warships are prac-
tically guests of other nations twelve
months in every year. So this country
would have to take him out in some
body's back yard to whip him, even 4
he were so inclined. Secretary Hay!
diplomacy in this matter is picturesque
and bombastic, but profits have not ye
accrued. Why the Turkish minister q
Washington hasn't had his salary pai'
since he took his job. If Secretary Ha,
sent him home he would probably hav
to pay his fare and the sultan woul
only have increased the amount OF tn
bill against him as a result Of the di
plomacy of the American premier
