Would Purify
By Fire.
Attempt to Burn the c. s. N. w. Stockyards
Sunday Night.
Evidently Case OF Incendiarism and for the
Fifth Time.

Sunday night a fifth attempt was
made to burn the G. & n. w. stock
yards. An alarm was turned in at about
l 80 o'clock which was promptly re-
sponded to by the fire department. and
the blaze was extinguished before it had
an opportunity tospread, the scale house
being the only portion of the plant des-
troyed. While the loss to the company
will probably not exceed 500 the prin-
ciple involved is as important and broad
as though the property destroyed had
been valued at thousands. There is no
excuse for the frebug at any time or
under any circumstances. The safety of
private property is involved, and while
the residents of that locality adjacent
to the stockyards may OF may not have
q just grievance there can be no possible
palliatlon of the offense. That the ori-
gin of the fire was incendiarY there is no
room for doubt and If the perpetrator
shall be discovered he will be dealt with
to the limit of the law
The Review has made considerable
inquiry in relation to the affair and is
satisfied that there is very little to be
urged in extenuation of the act. Some
years ago 1t was charged that the loca-
ton Of the yards at this particular point
contaminated the water supply of the
of the city, but we are informed by the
agent of the company that when this
complaint was brought to their notice
the yards were at once raised two feet
above the street level and system of
sewers put in which entirely obviated
the difficulty complained Of. It is
claimed, however, by the residents of
the locality that stock, and especially
hogs, ssare kept confined in the pens for
days at a time. far beyond the limit
fixed by law, and that IN consequence
Glth accumulates and in spite of any
and all efforts on the part of the rail
way company becomes extremely obnox-
ious. Whether this be the fact or not
really cuts no figure in the present in
stance. The uDassailable proposition is
that no one has the right to destroy pro-
perty and to endanger adjacent property
in an attempt to right either a real or
fancied wrong. We are assured by the
railroad company that every available
means are used to keep the yards III
clean and sanitary condition and we
lave yet to learn that any complaint
has, this season at least, been made to
the health officer that this has not been
done. The scale house will be at once
rebuilt and the yards put in shape for
the reception OF stock as usual

Next Monday morning there will be

purchase of pictures for the school.
The Retail Liquor Dealers Association
of this city held its annual outing at
st. George Monday, leaving here at 80
accompanied by band and large
number of friends outside the assoc1a-

of a varied nature and everyone who at
tended certainly enjoyed themselves. No
business was transacted, the meeting be-
ing solely for pleasure, although several
speeches were made by members of the
association for which they were very
properly fned An exhibition fire drill
was given by the st. George fire depart
menu and several amusing athletic con-
tests were pulled off. 1t vas, taken al
together, fine, large day and the high
ball dispensers and their friends who
were so fortunate as to be of the

While the legislature made good
record in declining to raid the state
treasury for the reporters on the daily
papers for lump of $3.50 each, it was
not as careful concerning its own en-
ployes, and they were voted additional
sums ranging from $50 to $3.50 each,
the total amounting to some 81 900.
This money did not belong to the mem
bers and was not theirs to give away as
they saw fit. The various employees all
enjoyed good salaries during the winter,
considerably larger than the most of
shem could earn in private lines, and
they were eager to get the places at the
salary attached with no thought Of a
substantial gift at the close. The la
bors of the said employees are not oner-
Gus, so there is no excuse in that quar-
ter. The scheme of SO giving is per-
nicious one, and is just as bad and un-
worthy as would have been a move on
the part of the members to have voted
themselves an extra hundred dollars or

All things are wrought OF melody,
uRheard, yet full OF speaking spells:
Without the rock, within the tree,
A soul OF music cwelLs.
A mute symphonic S0ksSe that thrills
The silent frame OF mortal things;
Its heart beats IN the ancient hills,
In every flower sings.
To harmony all growth is SET
Each seed is but music mote,
From which each plant. each violet
Evolves its purple note
Compact of melody, the rose
Wooes the soft wind with strain ON strain
OF crimson; and the lily blows
Its white bars to the rain.
The trees are paeans; and the grass
One long green fugue beneath the sun
Song Is their life; and all shall pass;
Shall cease. when song is done.

A certain lazy man in order to
save himself any inconvenience,
when he had his house remod-

tub. The tub was so arranged
that he could lie in bed and upon
pushing a button the door opened
and the tub glided in from the
next room to the side Of the bed;
then all ne had to do was to roll
over into the tub and take his
morning bath. One day he was
showing a party OF gentlemen
friends over the house, when he
came to his room, and said: "Let
me show you my automatic bath
tub" He pushed the button,
There was a scream, and the tub

He WROTE UP.

A recent wedding in a town
over in Kentucky was thus re-
ported by the new man on the
local paper, who did not under
stand that truth was always gol-
den:
"The church was very prettily
decorated with flowers and pOtted
plants, borrowed promiscuously
from over town from people who
didn't want to lend them. The
decorating was done under pro-
test by some Of the members Of
the church, who were asked to do
so by the bride, and couldn't well
refuse. The ladies are Of the
opinion that. if the couple were
bent on having a stylish wedding,
they should have been willing to
pay SONS one to chase al over
the town for day getting flowers
together and then taking them
home again.
"The bride wore a handsome
We'll Bros. gown, made at home,
and the groom was decked out in
a handsome $40 hand-me-do
suit. Ushers wore cut-away
coats borrowed for the occasion.
"Mae Henderson was maid of
honor AMI the concesus Of opin-
ion was that she was prettier than
the bride. The young couple
took the morning train for New
York, where they will spend
more in four days than Willie can
earn in three months.
"The groom says that now he
is married he is going to settle
down. Some of our merchants
think that it would have been
best if he had settled up first.
He gets a salary Of S27 a month,
which is about the allowance
Bette has been used to for a pin
money, We wish for Willie's
sake that the old saying that it
takes no more to support two
than one wasn't lie."
