Tailor's Preparation for Cleaning
Clothes Causes an Explosion.
slNGED HAIR AND EYEBROWS
And Burnt the Feathers Off the Tail

Further Dafnage-The Fire Depart

Not Needed.

w. l.. Smith, the Main street tailor,
has pair of badly burned hands as
the result of his efforts to extin-
guish small blaze in his place of
business yesterday afternoon. He
was engaged in cleaning up suit of
clothes with a mixture of water
cleaning preparation and gasoline,
heated over a stove, and while at
tempting to pour some of it out, it
became ignited, and the room was
soon in a blaze. Mr.. Smith grabbed
UP the pan containing the blazing
mixture and threw it out the back
door, but in doing so his hands were
severely burned and his hair and eye
brows singed. In the meantime the
tailors employed in the place had sue
ceeded in extinguishing the burning
gasoline on the floor and bench,
aided thereby by Billy Mulany, who
connected small garden hose to the
hydrant in his confectionery store
next door and turned a stream of wa
ter on the fire.
The loss is small and consists of
several pairs of pants that were
scorched and ruined by the smoke
and water. The fire department was
called out, but there was no neces-
sity to lay the hose.

Home Rule for Cities.

President Ashley of the League of
American Municipalities in his re-
cent annual address voiced the pre-
vailing sentiment of those who have
had experience in municipal affairs
when he made this ringing declara-
ton
Home rule for cities!
mo dependency of the city upon
the state.
Each municipality should be a law
unto itself in all matters local.
THE people should have the right
to own and control ali public utili-
ties if they SO desire"
Cities of other states make their
own charters, why not Butte and the
cities of Montana?
Missouri in 1875 adopted a consti-
tutional amenment giving all cities
of 100000 or over the power to make
their own charters. California in
1879 adopted a constitutional amend
ment giving all cities of 100000 OF
over the right to make their own
charters. In 1894, new constitu-
tional amendment extended this right
to cities of 10000 or over. In 1890 a
new constitutional amendment ex
tended this right to cities OF $500 OIL
over Washington, in 1890, adopted
a constitutional amendment giving
all cities of 10000 Or over the right
to make their own charters. Louis
lana, in 1896, adopted constitutional
amendment giving all cites, towns
and villages the right to their char
ters, except New Orleans. Minnesota
in 1896 adopted constitutional
amendment giving all cities t WINS
and villages the right to make -heil
charters, without exception.
If the constitution were amended
all of the larger cities in this state
would be given the power of self gov
ernment in their local home affairs
That is democratic and in accord
anee with republican form of gov
ernment
