Christmas In Union.

We start with three days before
Christmas and say that the city was
never moro crowded with purchas-
crs OF everything sold by the mcr-
chants, and up to late Saturday
evening the throng was dense, al
though the rain came down in tor
rents from Q o'clock until midnight.
Christmas day nearly everybody
went to church. Monday and
Tuesday the streets were again filled
with happy merrymakers.
The days and nights were enjoyed
in many ways-several marriages,
banquets, dances, suppcrs-all in
dulged in, and in the most pleasant
and peaceful way. Everyone was in
good humor, there was absolutely
no casualties, nobody hurt, nobody
rowdy or disorderly, but simply
celebrating according to their own
sweet will and accord.

A Beautiful Christmas Tree
at West Springs Graded School.

The closing exercises Of the West
Springs graded school last Friday
night were made interesting and at
tractivc by large and beautiful
Christmas tree. Prof. j. M. Mars
and his accomplished assistant Mrs.
jamie Conrad had arranged quite an
elaborate program consisting Of re-
citals Of appropriate verse and songs
by the pupils and between each re-
cital the West Springs string band
rendered most delightful and in
spring music. Mr.. Thomas Hyatt
made very appropriate address OF
welcome followed by Prof. Mars in
a most instructive talk to the chill
drcn and audience.
The Christmas tree was a large
holly, planted in the auditorium
lighted with varied colored wax
tapers and upon each limb hung 4
present, which made glad and joy
Gus the hearts of the children. The
school had extended q cordial invi-
tation to the public to be present on
this occasion and most literally did
the people respond. Tho entire
evening was most pleasantly spent
and greatly enjoyed by each partici-
pant, and will long be remembered.

Two Small Fires.

Friday night 23rd inst, about
midnight, the small two room house
on Bachelor street next to the brick
stable caught fire. The alarm was
promptly sounded and the fire de-
partment were promptly on the
spot. Two sections of hose were
attached to hydrants, one at cor
ncr Of Main and Bachelor streets
and the other at corner of South
and Bachelor streets and it was but
the work Of q few minutes to cx-
tinguish the blaze. This was
wooden building and the fire was in
the roof and on inside walls, but so
swiftly did the fire company throw
streams OF water that only the roof
and small portion Of the walls
were burned. A small wooden
house on one', side and the shingle
roof brick stable with wooden sheds
were in great danger of being burned
but neither caught fire owing to
water play OF the hose, thus most
destructive and terrific blaze was
averted by the skillful and efficient
fircmen.
Sunday afternoon dense smoke
was seen issuing from DIR. H. X.
Smiths dental office, second story
OF the Mutual Dry Goods building.
The alarm was sounded and the
fire fighters were on hand at once.
The fire was in the partition wall
between DIR. Smiths Office and
Capt. r.. G. Johnson's bed room,
and had it not been discovered and
extinguished as quickly as it was,
it would have been q most destruo-
tive FIRE.

GRADY'S DEATH MAY BE
DUE TO FOUL PLAY
Police Suspect He Was the Victim Of
Highwaymen.

Robert Grady, thirty years old, Of
525 Summer street, died at the city
hospital yesterday morning as the re-
suit of injuries he received from a fall.
Whether he was murdered or whether
he killed himself the police are not pre-
pared to say,
The man was found at o'clock yes
terday morning unconscious under the
viaduet at Second street and Second
avenue north. He was picked up and
taken to the hospital, where he died
without regaining consciousness.
His coat and hat were found on the
bridge, and one theory has 1t that he
was attacked by highwaymen and took
off his coat to fight them. When he
left home he had $40 in his pocket.
This money has disappeared and it's
loss gives color to the supposition that
he may have been killed and robbed.
Detective Heelin, who was set to
work on the case, announced last night
that he felt positive Grady's death was
the result of an accident. He succeed
ed In tracing the man up to l o'clock,
when he was in an East side saloon,
drunk and quarrelsome. Moreover, the
officer discovered that the mans coat
was carefully folded up and his shoes
placed beside it. The detective offers
the explanation that Grady decided to
go to bed on the viaduct and then roll
ed off to the tracks below. The victim
was deaf mute.

number of amazed inquiries from the

on to explain that he, in his own prac-
tice, had operated successfully in a
number Of cases, where death seemed
almost certain, and, Furthermore. that
the patients had recovered in every
instance.

again lying across the tracks. He pro-
ceeded toward the city and a third car
came within few feet of running
over him at the switch near the cal
