Reorganization.

The committee on re. organization Of
the fire department last night reported
to the city council, and recommended
that the present department be changed
from a regular volunteer, and be put on
q paid basis.
The report also recommended that
three mon be paid and kept on duty such
hours as would always have two of them
on duty at one time. The report read
that there be chief, and recommended
John Dickerson for the place, with q
salary Of $50 per month for his services
in that line, and also that he be employ
ed as jailer with an additional salary Of
$50 per month.
The other two men recommended for
the paid department were Ed. Innes,
assistant chief, and Tom Handle, third
man. both the latter to receive a salary
OF S45 per month. Aside from the three
paid men fifteen volunteers will be kept.
The department has made arrange
ment for the paperins and painting Of
the room occupied by them at the city
hall. They have some money in their
treasury and the city allowed $50 to as
sist them.
The fire department in this city has
always been one of the things which has
worked under difficulties. The wagon
in use at present is in 4 dangerous con-
dition, and the new wagon has been long
delayed, although the present outlook is
that deal will soon be made for it's

An OBJECT Lesson.

My son, man approaches. Focus
your observers ON him; behold him.
Notice his pallid sace, his lusterless
eyes, his slow steps and his stopped
shoulders.
See, his lips are set as if in pain and a
triphammer seems TO beat at his tenn
pies.
His nights are sleepless. his days are
full of condensed misery and lifeis one
long, dizzy old grind for him.
Once he was happy and content-a
man among men-but now he is a
reckless wreck.
His friends avoid him, and when he
goes home his dog hunts dark cor
ner. His good wife returned to her
mother many moons ago.
Take couple of more looks, my son.
Can you guess what has wrought all
this trouble?
Rum? The demon Rum, you say?
Not so, my son. Your guesser is
