If some people who are at present
SO anxious for a bond issue would
come out squarely and say their OBJ
ject is to "cinch'' some past deals,
they would get more respect and
more attention. What's the use of
the pretense? The council has
power to issue bonds now, though
perhaps not for the pusposes that
the gang desire. 1t is proper enough
to consider paying off the city's
floating debt, but the agitation
should arise from a more legitimate
desire than simply to cinch what has
recently been done, and to lay the
foundation for further unwarranted
expense. We do not say that it
would be bad to pay off the floating
debt, but it is more than strange
how anxious certain people are
about it. No one is so foolish as to
think this desire rises from a: wish to
see justice done to the unfo1 tunates
who are getting paid in city. orders;
not at all. Why this great solici-
tude, this deep interest in the city's q
financial welfare, 80 suddenly mani
fested?* 1t was not always thus ~

At Oquaka, ILL.,, according to the
Democrat of that city, the members
of the Modern Woodmen camp are
not easily dismayed, Ind when they
start out to do thing they do it as
hard as they can. Recently the camp
was conferring the ceremony OF
f'adoption," when the candidate be-
came alarmed and, breaking away,
dashed through the door and
reached the street with the entire
working team in pursuit. He was
followed for several blocks, finally
over:aken and brought back to the
hall, when the ceremony was conclu-

IMPORTANT ARREST.
A. l.. rliIiion Taken Back to Chat
tanooga to Answer Charges.

A. L. Million was taken back to
Chattanooga. Tennessee, this
morning by Deputy United States
Marshal Mccall to answer to two
charges preferred against him by
the United States government. viz:
for burning government liquor
warehouse and for disposing of
government whiskey at Chatta-
nooga
The warehouse was set on fire
four years ago and Million was
apprehended, arrested and put
under bond. His trial was to
have come up on April lst last,
but just previous to this, it is
alleged, he jumped his bond and
came to Colorado, stopping at
Denver, Colorado Springs and
other places in the state looking
for a business location He ar
rived in Florence about the time
his trial was to have been heard
and since that time went into the
bicycle business.
He admits taking the whisky
but denies the charge of setting
fire to the warehouse.
Since the time of his departure
from Chattanooga United States
Marshal r w Austin has sent out
numerous letters of inquiry to the
officials of the state. Officer Har.
ris received his first notice two
weeks ago and has been quietly
working up the case between Mr..
Austin and himself. Saturday
Officer Harris received word 10
arrest Million, which he i'm
mediately did and held him await
ing the arrival of the deputy who
came yesterday.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.
A Barn and Carpenter Shop
Burned to the Ground.

Al , O'Clock this morning the
fire bell rang and it was discovered
that the Eynou barn and Nicholas
carpenter shop, on the alley be-
tween Second and Third streets.
were ablaze The fire department
was shortly at the scene and did
noble work, considering that the
fire had gained considerable head
way and the lack OF knowledge as
to the location of the fire plugs.
Both buildings were frame making
them an easy victim to the flames.
The blaze originated in the
Nicholas carpenter shop in which
were four SETS of carpenter tools
and lot of household furniture.
In the barn were two horses, lot
of hay and buggy, all of which
were rescued
The flames soon spread from the
shop to the barn and soon the
flames were forty feet high, The
fire was extinguished in about
thirty minutes.
Luckily the wind was not blow
ing and the adjacent buildings
were not in the least damaged, but
had the wind been blowing as it
did the previous night great
damage would likely have been
done.
Yesterday afternoon a stranger
visited one of the tailoring estab-
lishments and asked for the Nicho-
las carpenter shop, but the propri-
etor not knowing where it was
lobated, told him so. Then he
went to one of the lum ber yards
where the information was fur
nished him. He WAS stranger in
the city. tall, rather slender and
about 45 years old. Some are iu-
clined to connect the two events.
Then another theory is that late
at night some one threw hot ashes
near the carpenter shop which
may possibly have set the wood
