Firemen Elected.

The annual election of tho officers
in the village fire department was
held Friday night, resulting in the
following officers being elected.
Chief, James Mackay; Asst chief
w. 3. Madison; Sec'y, A. W. Eager
strom; Treas, A. R. Albertus.
Hose Company No. Foreman,
David Anderson, Asst foreman F. G.

Hose Go. No. 2-Foreman, We're
Hurlbert; asst foreman, Lee Shell.
Hook and Ladder - Foreman,
Merle Hurlbert; asst foreman, Chas.
Pannell.
The department is reported in ex-
cellent condition except. for room
The old hose house has served it's
time and tho department has out
grown the quarters. Arrangements
for holding and driving wet hose is
very badly needed on account of an
increase in the equipment. Where
the department does not have, facili-
ties for drying properly, the hose be-
comes rotten and eventually becomes
worthless, besides when in service
and the hose bursts it causes d delay
which might prove disastrous should
the break occur at critical time dur
ing fire.
The department were somewhat
surprised, at services not being rec
ognized for the hard work done at
the last fire. It is conservatively es-
timated that the boys lost by dam.
age to their clothing at least $50.
The question of repairing the
hooking bird whistle go that it
would be more effective was taken up.
As it is now the whistle is west of
the power house, which would in
some degree lessen tho sound from
the town side. The cause of low
pressure during the last fire was dis
GUESSED and will be further investigat-
ed and an effort made to prevent a
repetition.

CARBON FIRE.
A Timely Discovery Prevents
Entire Consumption Of u
Car of Freight.

Monday morning about six fifty
the section men discovered smoke
issuing from freight cars standing on
the transfer track opposite the Oma-
ha freight depot. They Immediate
ly sought the care and about this time
Howard Durfee was on the ground.
It was soon learned that the car was
on fire inside. It was Immediately
switched where a stream could be
turned on from the hydrant at water
tank, and the fire soon extinguished.
Besides being badly smoked one end
of the car was charred. There was
considerable freight in the car which
was more or less smoked. A parlor
set was entirely ruined. The discov-
cry was very timely as the car would
have been taken into a train, which
is made up here, in short time and
had the condition not been discover
ed before the train was out on the
road the car and all of it's contents
would have been entirely destroyed.
How the fire originated can only
be sulmised; probably due to fallen
match or smoking. The car was
closed up about five a. m. by the
nlgnC men. .tj*:,,tc.t

A Letter from Zoe,

To the Members of the Hespernia
Club. =
Dear Friends:-
A long time ago the President of
your club asked me to write you
a letter so while am sitting under
the palm tree to keep my body
and my temper cool I will endeavor
to write you a description of Monro-
via and the St. Pauls River.
A stranger going to Monrovia
reads various accounts calculated
to give the idea that the town
consists merely of the few scattered
houses hidden in the dense thickets
which had completely over grown
what had formerly been streets.
This is as far wrong as other state
ments to the effect that Monrovia is
a fourishing city of twelve or four.
teen thousand inhabitants The
fact is that Monrovia is a quiet will
age of perhaps twenty-five thou
sand people. If the population of
the neighbo1ing Kroo town is reckon
ed in the number will be at least
doubled. The soil of Cape Mesu-
RADIO is in many places too rocky
fer cultivation, in many places no.
thing but Jagged rocks are found
where the tangled mass Of vege-
taton has been removed. These
facts prevent the existance of many
successful farms in the vicinity of
Monrovia and there is little object
in clearing land beyond that which
is uesd for streets and yards.
Thus it happens that many of the
streets of Monrovia, if followed out,
lead into dense thickets of tropical
vegetation, but this not to effect
that there are several miles of open
streets. Weeds, trees and vines grow
with wonderful luxu1iance and are
cut several times a year. The
entire absence of beasts fo burd-
en- and wheeled vehicles has not
necessitated the proper grading Of
streets, and allows grass to grow
except in the walks and foot paths
Naturally this appears very strange
and unprogressive. Residents Of
Monrovia have, however, the conso-
lation of being free from noise, dust,
and offensive odors. There is also
none of the glaring light so uncom-
Portable in the tropical cities with
paved or dusty streets. "
AS shade trees, there are many
beautiful mangoes and cocoanuts and
many other species in less numbers.
There are many well built and
comfortable houses, some with we'll
kept yards and gardens. The site3of
Monrovia is one of great natural
beauty, and there is every encourage
ment for keeping the material de-
veiopment in the line of natural pos
sibilities. The business portion Of
the town along the foot of the hills

It is said that number of Democratic
and Republican Senators who are nppos-
ed to Mr.. Hanna's Ship Subsidy bill have
organized q scheme calculated to sheIye
the bounty measure and prevent it from
coming to a vote The plan is being en-
gineered by Mr. Jones of Arkansas, and
is said to be supported by large number
of Republicans as well as the Democrats.
After conference this morning it was
seen that the idea had many supporters.
and as soon as the Agricultural AppFo-
priation bill has been disposed of the
scheme will be put into effect.
