FIRE AT VARIETY WORKS.
The Department Responded to an
Alarm Friday.

An alarm was received at the fire de-
partment Friday morning from the
shops of the Variety Manufacturing
Company. At the time it was sent in
the department was out for exercise,
but the note of alarm which the varie-
ty works whistle sounded was heard
by the hremen and they at once began
rapid run to the scene of the blaze.
The fire was in the shaving room
and the inhammable contents burned
almost as if they had been gunpowder.
Through the we'll directed efforts of
the department and the corps of work
men at the plant the fire was quickly
extinguished, however. Little damage
was done on account of the shaving
room being almost fire proof, and the
flames being confined almost entirely
TO the place where the fire originated.

Capt. John SibIey Has Been Show
ing One in Dawson.

Captain John A. Sibley has been in
Dawson since Friday exhibiting a
round bale of cotton that was ginned

considerable attention.
Captain Sibley is the clever and affa-
BILE gentleman who, as the populist
candidate, opposed Congressman j. M.

enthusiastically of the virtues of the
round bale as he talked politics in the
olden days. and in him his company
has most excellent representative.

"When l retired from the contract

we'll known man. II had a number Of
horses that l was anxious to dispose
of. Among them was one named Jer-
ry, which for seseral years had been
used to working on a drum. In such
work a horse becomes accustomed to
lifting his feet high to avoid striking
the hosting ropes. When the horses
were put under the hammer, Jerry
went to a Harlem grocer.
about a week later the purchaser
Of Jerry called at my house and told
ME that he had a lot Of trouble with
the horse. He said that Jerry would

grocer why the horse stopped short

him to look up some contractor and
sell the animal to him for hosting pur-
poses. He did so. notifying me that he
received a larger price than he paid
me for the horse."-New York Sun.

LOG JAMS.
The Force They Exert and How They
Are Broken Up.


"A log jam Is one of the most for

ter in our line of business" said a Mis-
sissippi lumbcrnlan. "How they begin
Is difficult to explain: A few dozen
logs will become wedgcd for m instant

less time than it takes me to tell It
hundreds of others will come swvopfnv

cate, close knit span, reaching from

a rock. The force they exert is ONE
thing marvellous. During one jam in
my section | saw a lot of logs plunge
under the edge of the blockade, and .
few seconds later they pushed their
way up through the very middle OF
the pack. tossing timDers as big
around as a mans waist into the air
like SO many toothpicks. The noise
they made as they drove through the
mass was simply deafening. 1t sound
ed as if the solid earth was being torn
up by its foundations. When the logs
passed under the jam. they were EVIL
IDENTIFY caught in such n way as to
still further obstruct the imprisoned
stream and were hurled upward with
all the Irresistible energy Of millions OF
gallons of rushing water.
"The breaking of a jam Is a very
ticklish operation and seems to be
largely a matter Of instincf with old
rivcrlnen. The lines and angles OF
strain in such a blockade are so com
plicated that the best engineer In the
world is apt to go wrong In indicating
the proper point of attack. A veteran
lumberman. on the contrary, will often
take a long look at the mass and then
point out the key log The key log

How the Organization Was start

and I~nglorious End.
Copyright. 1900. by c. B. Lewis.l
The Jericho Debatin society was
squar Joslyn's idea. 1t dawned on
him one afternoon as he was hoein In
his garden, and that evenin he come
over to the postoffice and made a
speech and started the ball rollin. A
week later the society had its first
meetin. There was a hot time fur
about an hour. OF the 40 men present
30 wanted to be president, but after
awhile, and by putin in two votes fur
himself, the squar was duly elected.
Deacon Spooner was made referee, and
the other offices wasn't struggled after
to any extent. There wasn't any de.
batin at the first meetin, but Squar
Joslyn made a speech Of acceptance
which raised the price Of butter in
Jericho 10 cents a pound. After sayin
that he wouldn't exchange places with
the president Of the United States he
began with the year $50 B. c., and the
way he come whirlin along down to
the year 1900 made the glass In the
windows rattle. He excited the crowd
as he hit Nero, brought applause as he
touched on Columbus, and when he
got through with Washington there
wasn't no holdin Enos Williams, and
Jonas Bebee and Aaron Bradshaw was
In tears. After the speech was over
Elder Spooner figgered 1t up and de-
clared that the squar had made p diff

four p'ints more than Demosthenes or
