Garrett is certainly the prettiest town
of its size in the state OF Kansas. She
has more beautiful residence properties,
and the yards are kept in better condit-
ion than in any town we have seen in
the state. Strangers remark at our de-
lightfully shady avenues, and, while Gar
nett is not a ''boom town." still we have
no paupers; everybody in comfortable
circumstances. One thing we do lack,
however, is a nice park, but there is no
scarcity of places where most beauti
full park could be made at small expense
One of these places is at the city lake. 1t
is delightful drive from town and the
shade is already there. All that is neces-
sary is little trimming up.

SAVED FROM THE SEWERS, AND A LITTLE AID.
VICE FOR THE YOUNG, PLACED

BY WILL CARLETON CHAMPE.

Out of the $50 papers in the state, but
fourteen carry liquor advertisements.
This is announced bv papers outside the
state as though it were something mar.
vellous. Whv should it be strange? As
a general rule, the newspaper OF com
munitv tries to make its columns an ex.
preston of the opinions of he decent
element of the community, and further
than this. in most cases, the paper ex-
presses the opinion first, and the public
then conforms to it. The editor who
would dare d clare himself in opposition
to the laws which serve to protect the
virtue of the Young woman would be
promptly hemp-connected with the first
convenient telegraph pole, yet othing is
thought of seeing the advertisement OF
that whice ruins young men. The sale
of liquor in Kansas is unlawful and the
editor who carries in mis- paper, liquor
advertisement, had as we'll float the red
flag from the roof of his sanctum. The
editors of Kansas, with few exceptions
are law. abiding citizens.

THE IMPORTANCE OF 4 BOARD CE TRADE.

That the business men are thor ouehly alive to the importance of Board of Trade is evidenced by the numerous expressions commenting the Review in it's efforts to bring about the organization.
 The history Of similar organizations throughout the country shows that they have been of vast benefit to the communities where they exist. From time to time questions of public policy arise in which Bisbee is vitally in terested. and upon which some decid- ed stand should be taken. No organ ization carries with it more weight and is accorded a more respectful hearing. than the Board of Trade of any city. As a rule such organiza- tions are composed of the leading bus mess men of the town. and having the best interests of the community at heart in which they live,
 On several occasions the absence of an organization of this kind has been keenly felt in Bisbee. The city has been visited by distinguished men. and there has been scurrying to and fro in an effort to gather toge.her enough citizens to serve as a receO- tion committee; again matters affect ing the welfare Of the city have been on the tapis and Bisbee was without an organization to give weight to our arguments and contentious. The trade of the surrounding country. which in the. commercial life of the city is TO small factor. might be diverted in an- other direction. for the want of CO., operation and effort on the part of the business men of this community to keep it here.
 The Review believes thet it has al ready discussed the project at suth- cient length. Now is the time for ac- ton.

IWENTY-SEVEN BURNED.
Italian Railroad Hands Meet Horrible
Death in Fire Which Destroyed
shanty Wherein They Slept.

While more than hundred Italian
laborers were asleep in shanty near
Lilly, Pa, on the Pennsylvania rail-
road, early Saturday morning, the
building caught fire and before the
foreigners could escape at least TWEEN
ty-seven were burned to death and
score or more seriously injured.
The men were employed by contrac-
tors on the Pennsylvania railroad i'm
provement between Lilly and Portage
There were 500 men on the job, all
italians, and in the shanty Wnlcn
burned were 125 of these. The shanty
was about 100 feet long, one story IN
height. One md was used for cooking
and eating, at the other end the men
slept in hunks, which were crowded.
There was only one door at each end,
and the windows were few and small.
The fire is supposed to have started
from an overheated stove. The build
ing burned like tinder and the flames
we're upon the men before any OF them
were aroused.
Then began a struggle for the out
SIDE and for life. They fought and
scrambled for the doors, the weaker
being crushed down and tTampled.
Others were roasted to death.
Those who strove for the door were
in the widest sort Of panic. They
fought and kicked, and among those
who escaped there are many who bear
marks of the fierce struggle which
took place. A few got out of the small
windows minus clothing and with their
bodies cut from broken glass.
Many of those who did manage to
get out had their savings of years IN
their trunks which they left behind, in
the building. Remembering this as
soon as they got outside, they fought
just as fercely to get back. A few
succeeded, but for the sake of their
money they gave up their lives. An
eyewitness says he does not believe
that single man of those who return
ed succeeded in getting out again.
In the ruins some Of the corpses
were close beside the hooped bands OF
their trunks, and melted gold and sill
yer which had been kept in those re.
ceptacles indicated that they had fall
en- and died with their treasure in their
arms. The bodies were all practically
burned beyond recognition.
