considerable CONSERVATION by ap-

entered, and carefully studied the

When "Reddy'' was quite salts

FIRE YESTERDAY MORNING

Our Fire Companies Respond
Promptly and Fight IA Difficult
Fire for About Two Hours with
the Aid OfOther CitiZenS-LOss
About $4,000, Fully Covered
by Insurance.
Sunday morning about $50
o'clock an alarm Of fire was sent in
from box SO, which created more
than the ordinary excitement owing
to its being Sunday morning.
Our two spending fire companies
than whom there are none better or
more brave to be found anywhere
promptly responded to the call and
it was soon discovered that the two
story wooden building, the property
Of Mrs. Capt. A. j. Galloway, 105
West Chestnut street, was the scene
of conf1agration.
In a very short space of time, net
withstanding the intensity of the
cold, the street was full of people
all anxious, AS they always are, for
our people are the kindest and most
sympathetic in tho World-to do
everything in their power to help
save the building and the furniture,
etc., of the occupants of the house.
And SO by their cooperation with
the members of the fire companies
the flames were finally subdued after
a difficult fight of about two hours.
1t is not known exactly how the
building caught on fire, but it is
supposed that it caught from a de-
fective place in the chimney, as the
chimney runs through the centre of
the house and the FIRE originated
somewhere between the ceiling and
the roof, which fact made it the more
difficult to put out. 1t had gained
considerable Roadway before it could
be located, and then the fremen
We're at a great disadvantage, for they
could not get at it. ,
The damage to the building was
considerable, and is estimated at
about $4,000, but fortunately for
Mrs. Galloway it is fully covered by
insurance, there being $1,sOO.OO on
the building, which will be glad
news to her many friends.
The house was occupied by two
families-Messrs. Mack Hornaday
and Ed. Gurley. They both sus-
tanned a loss by having their house
hold goods broken up and soiled,
neither of whom sad any insurance.
Their loss will amount to so or $15
each.
The building WAS SO badly dam
aged that the occupants were COM
PEELED to move out.
They are loud in their praise Of
the good people who so kindly aided
them in saving theirhousehold goods
and request the ARGUS to extend
their sincere thanks 10 all who gave
them assistance.

Mr.. Samuel A. Bird of the Quinn
Bird Company at Mt. Olive, has
favored the ARGUS with the most
beautiful calendar for 1905 that we
have seen this season. In fact, it Is
the handsomest that we have ever
seen in this city.
1t is a real work of art, a beauti-
full picture for. any home.
Speaking of the Quinn-Bird Com
pany, it has been a marvel of sue
cess. It began business only a little
more than a year ago, has already
come to the front in every particular
in the enterprising town of Mt.
Olive, carries a general stock of mer-
c%handlse, filling two large brick
stores, and commanding atrade per-
haps second to none in Mt. Olive.
The Quinn-Bird Company can
furnish its customers with anything,
from a car load of fertilizer to a
handsome silk dress. In fact, it is al
most a department store, carrying
as it does heavy and fancy groceries,
a splendid stock of clothing, dry
goods, hardware, and pretty nearly
everything else that one wants for
dress, home, shop and farm.
Messrs. S. A. Bird and B. II.
Quinn are the active managers OF the
Quinn-Bird Company. Both of these
gentlemen are men of large business
experience andof extensive acquaint-
ance. They know the people,
know their wants, and have the en-
tire confidence of their customers.
It is a pleasure for the ARGUS to
chronicle the splendid success Of the
Quinn-Bird Company.

system and ruins body and mind. Nor
young men are Led to the opium habit
by cigarette smoking than by patent
and proprietary medicines.
Investigation points out the fact
that not only boys, but girls as well,
are coming under the unfortunate in
fuemces of this habit. All of which
leads me to ask myself and other Of
ficers of the law, what is our duty in
the premises? Strange to say have
never heard of a complaint being
made to an officer in this state by any
parent because of tobacco having been
sold to their children. 1 am fully per-
suaded that perhaps there are some
persons in our community who are
thoughtlessly selling tobacco to minors
without knowing that it is against the
law. To all such I would commend a
careful perusal Of section 1888 of our
criminal codes, which reads as fol-
lows:
"'Any person within this state who
sells or gives to or in any way fur
nishes to any person under the age of
II years, any cigarettes, cigars or to-
bacco of any kind, shall be punished
by fine of not more than $50 or i'm
prisonment in county Jail for not
more than thirty days.
This law has been a dead letter
long enough. If we do not want our
young manhood weakened, debilitated
and often destroyed, action must be
had at once. And now call upon the
states attorneys of my district to first
call attention of all dealers in tobacco
within their respective counties to the
law, by preparing and sending to them
a copy of the same, after which should
violations occur advise speedy prose-
cutions to follow. If the law is a bad
one it's vigorous enforcement will so
Indicate; if otherwise, salutary re-
suits will become manifest. Parents.
teachers and philanthropists ought to,
and doubtless will, stand shoulder to
shoulder with the states attorneys,
sheriffs, policemen, magistrates and
courts n furtherance of this work.

CRIME AND CIGARETTES.

In passing sentence upon young
lad convicted of uttering a forged in
strument at Fargo, Judge Pollock of
the district court took occasion to de-
liver himself of a little homily upon
the causes of crime in youngsters, and
in the course Of his remarks, made
the interesting statement that he had
never had occasion to sentence boy
to the reform school who was not a
cigarette smoker. In addition to
pointing out the evil, Judge Pollock
suggested remedy in the prosecution
and conviction of persons who violate
the state law against selling tobacco
to certain minors. Judge Pollock's
remarks are an interesting addition
to the judicial literature of the state
and are as follows:
During my entire judicial expert
ence, do not recall a single instance
when sending boys to the reform
school but that the fact was disclosed
they were cigarette smokers.

press recently, by City Superintendent
Logic, of the baneful effect the habit
is having upon the young boys Of the
