LADDER CO. THERE
A Correction of an Over
sight Which is Made
With Pleasure.

To the Editor: At the regular
monthly meeting held last evening by
the Hook and Ladder company No. l.,
in their hall, / was instructed to ask
you if you would not make this cor
rection of an error in tomorrow's pa
per in regard to the recent fire of June
21st., when the alarm was turned in
from box 212 at Z p. IN. The Hook
and Ladder company was the hrSt
company to arrive and did some excel
lent work in moving articles that were
in danger of being ruined; then they
helped the hose wagon company all
they could, which they are always
ready to do
June 21st. the alarm was sounded
again at sos p. m. from box rs, At
the arrival of the companies the Hook
and Ladder company was there
among the first as 1T always is, and
the members did some hard and good
work saving the adjoining buildings
from burning by helping out the hose
wagon companies.
June 9th. the alarm was sounded
from box IL at 1910 p. m. The Hook
and Ladder company on arrival found
Mr.. Barnes house in flames, and as
they were the first company to arrive,
devoted their time to saving the fur
niture, of which they saved all, with
the help that they got, except what
was in the very back part of the house
where theA fire started, and their men,
who numbered at the fire sixteen out
of the eighteen that they have on the
roll, did not leave the burning house
until it gave signs of falling il. 1t
was only then that they left The bull
ing.
! don't hesitate to say that believe
that we have got the very best voluE-
teer fire department in this or ally

We ask the correction to be made
that we may get credit for going TO

DR.. Stevens took smell, and in
formed the small boys that there
might be some contagious disease
hidden in that trunk, upon which al
ice the small boys dispersed. DR..

was a dead baby; that he felt the

of a dirty towel. This. however, was
not satisfactory, for the air was stiIl
laden with large wads Of odor Dr.

pale and the learned doctor struggled
in the throes Of scientific anguish
when there fell from that bundle a

st. Louis Worlds Fair Grounds,
June 25.-One of our grandfathers
might have begun travelling early in
the 10th century and Travelled con-
tinuously throughout the Old World
and the New for fifty years, and he
could not have seen what may be
witnessed here within twenty-four
hours.
No such marvellous display of the
achievements of mankind could have
been found in any part of the world
during any epoch of the past
This universal Worlds Fair is the
GROWING glory of human endeavor-
the twentieth century elimination of
sights and shows-the exposition cap
stone of civilizations march of pro-
eress; the dazzling constellation of
the ingenuity of modern mankind and
the climax of all the sciences and the
arts eminating from the minds of
men.
In conception it transcends even the
most visionary dreams OF TIE expo
sition builders of former times. In
its marvellous completeness and COM
rrehensiveness it has passed out of
the realm of the great optomistic de-
signs and purposes of it's own pro-
moters and builders. In the dazzling
beauty and grandeur of its architec-
ture and finish it has had no equal
in the past and will perhaps nave
none during this day and generation.

To speak of it in detail would be
To write a book of hundred volumes.
To attempt to describe it even in a

exhaust the inspiration of the most
