Small Blaze.

The dwelling located at the corner
Of Sixth and Catharine streets and
occupied by Frank and Harry Nc
Bride was slightly damaged by fire
on Monday. The flames were first
discovered in the roof and an alarm
was Immediately sounded. The
companies responded promptly but
their succor was not needed as the
flames had been extinguished be-
fore their arrival with buckets by
employees of Greasy & Wells. No
one appears to know how the fire
originated unless it was from a
locomotive spark, as there had been
no fire in the house for more than
a week.

Policeman Wintersteen had his
hands full last Sunday night to
keep the crowds Of loiterers moving
on the corners of Third and Market,
but he did it. This seems to be
the favorite stamping ground for
Sunday night loafers, and the
nuisance has grown until it had
become intolerable to residents all
along Market street. A policeman
is stationed there regularly on Sun
day night, and he is not afraid to
do his duty. Occasionally he runs
into a group inclined to be stub
born, but they "move on" just the
same.

Muz2led.

There were great many un-
happy dogs in town OH Monday
when the dog muzzling ordinance
was enforced. These dogs had
their own low down opinion of
the Town Council who caused the
ordinance to be enforced. There
are, however, great many human
beings who are very much gratifed
with the action of the council.

SMILE AGAIN

The clouds will roll away some-day. dear,
Ard your besetting troubles disappear,
Have faith that things decreed are for the
best, dear,
To optimism's teaching lend your ear.
The world is not against you, do not fret,
dear,
Fear not the evil creeds of men;
Let buoyant hopes thy lonely hours beguile,
dear,
Better days are coming, smile again.

Kelly and Decker.

Judge Ryan yesterday granted new trials
to Charles ]. Denny and Edmund Bersch.
but overruled the motions in the cases Of
Charles +. Kelly and Louis Decker.
In announcing his ruling on the motions
Judge Ryan said:
In obedience to the decision OF the Su-
preme Court in the case of the State against
Julius Lehman. holding the second instruc-
tion given in that case to have been an
error, new trial is granted because of the
second instruction. which is the one con-
demned in the Lehman case"
The instructions in the case of Kelly and
Decker were different and Judge Ryan an
nounced that for this reason he would not
grant a new trial
Bersch, Denny. Kelly and Decker like
Lehman. We're tried for alleged perjury in
connection with the Grand Jury's investiga-
