IS What Iowa Needs.

Andrew j. Eckstein is in receipt of
letter from Chris Mathes, chairman
of the board of supervisors at Bur-
lington, Ia, in which the latter says
that Mr.. Eckstein's plan to increase
the pay of county commissioners is
exactly what is needed in Iowa. The
supervisors of that state correspond
to the commissioners of this and Mr..
Mathes is at the head of the Legislative
committee appointed by the Iowa or
ganization. He states that he will
read Mr.. Eckstein's circular letter
upon the subject of more pay to the
Iowa supervisors when they hold their
annual convention at Des Moines and
will then recommend an amendment to
the law regulating fees.

STUDIO sCORCHED BY FIRE
Goede & Sattler's Gallery Dam
aged Monday.
Smoke Comes Near to Sufocatine
Young Man.
Noise Made by Firemen AWakens
Frank Woratschka.

Damage to the amount of several
hundred dollars was done to Goede &
Sattler's photograph gallery on Broad
way by a fire which broke out in the
studio Monday morning. The blaze
originated when an attempt was made
to thaw out a frozen water pipe and
while it was in progress young man,
| Frank Woratschka, came near to
losing his life. He was asleep in a
small room opening off the gallery
and all but suffered death by asphyxi-
alton.
Monday morning when the proprie-
tors opened the gallery they found that
water pipe in the dark room was
frozen up and to replace it in com
mission burned paper beneath the
faucet. A rag ignited and the fire com
municated to PARTITION, where it
smouldered for four or five hours.
Shortly before noon a passerby noticed
smoke issuing from the studio and,
stepping into City Clerk Schilling's
Office next door, notified that official
that the adjoining. building was afre.
Clerk Schilling unlocked. the engine
house and rang tina small bell in the
tower, summoning enough men to run
a fire wagon to the nearest hydrant. A
few minutes later a general alarm was
sent in and when the members of the
department responded they soon had
two streams Of water playing on the
building. At first the dense smoke
made it. difficult for the fremen to
work but by tearing away portions of
the ceiling they uncovered the blaze
rnd extinguished it.
The tragic part of the affair was
furnished by Frank Woratschka, a
bartender. Late Sunday night he re-
tired in small sleeping room off
the gallery and was asleep when the
fire broke out He was awakened by
the calls of the fremen and the tramp
ling in the next room and then discov-
cred that his room was filed with
sitting smoke. Beyond being dazed
and Supplied by his confinement he was
not injured, but his experience is note
worthy from the fact that only a few
weeks ago Jos. Sattler, one of the
proprietors, nearly lost his life by
asphyxiation in the same apartment.
| At the time the fire was discovered
the studio was deserted, Messrs.
Goede, Sattler and Emil Sprenger, an
employe, being at the Catholic church
taking a series of views. They heard
the alarm but thought nothing of it
until friends informed them that the
blaze was: in their building. When
they reached the studio the firemen
had nearly finished their labors aud

the interior presented a scene of desc
lation.
Their backgrounds and number Of
the other fixtures in the operating
room we're completely destroyed and
the fire had burned through the cell
ing and charred the rafters on the
roof. The card stock, consisting of
mountings, envelopes and printing
materials, and the chemicals. were
kept stored above the dark room and
were ruined by fire and water. A fresh
stock of cards had been put in only
two months ago and no insurance was
carried on it.
Goede & Sattler estimate their loss
at $500 or $3.50. OF this probably 5000
is on the building, which is the pro-
perty Of Mr.. Goede This portion,
however, is covered, as the owner
carried S., 200 on the structure in the
Scottish & National Insurance Co., of
Edinburg, and the Home Insurance
Co., of New York.
Immediately after the fire Goede &
Sattler ordered : new Photographic
materials and will have things in
working order today.
Otto Kohn, who occupies. the upper
floor of the building, did not suffer
any loss. N

ing Friday with the thermometer at 3
degrees above zero, the cold wave took
it down to Il degrees below saturda y
morning.
A strong wind from the north made
it seem even colder than it really was,
but toward evening the breeze subsid-
ed somewhat and then intense, bitter
cold set in, forcing the murcury down
rapidly. Sunday morning thermome-
tiers about town registered as low as
IS and 81, but the government instru-
ment at Andrew J. Eckstein's drug
store recorded SO degrees below. This
was enough to satisfy ordinary NOR
tails, however, and it had the effect OF
keeping most people within DOORS
Ali day the streets were deserted
and attendances at church services
fell off greatly. Not even the Sunday
papers could tempt many men from
their fresides and there were tingling
feet and fingers in store for those who
did venture forth. It is probable that
fuel consumption doubled and the
frosty rails caused railway trains to
lose time. At no time during the day
did it get warmer than 8 degrees be-
low zero and the following morning
the quick silver was back to 20 below.

Once more we are indebted to cit

from time immemorial. No wonder
they are skeptical of all claims endors-
ed by strangers, residing in far-distant
parts of the Union. II is no longer
necessary to accept such endorse
ments. for local citizens are giving
their testimony, and tits an easy mat
ter for any reader to investigate the
correctness of such evidence as the
following:

THRASHING IN SCHOOLS.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Corporal punishment in schools
still survives as rule of barbsric
methods its employment in an Indian
school upon 30 pupils at one time by
the principal in the presence of the
woman teacher upset the teachers
reason. The castigation must have
been of unusual ferocity or the teach
er's nervous sensibilitics lightly pois-
ed.
Hitting as n means of illuminating
the childish mind does not enjoy the
confidence it once did. There are
other punishments rs eiiloscious with
cut being so violent. Threshing a pu-
pill may subdue him, but done IN the
presence Of the other pupils, it dis
tracts their minds for hours aud out.
RACES their feelings. a flush OF shame
can be observed difusing itself over
their faces that comes from their en-
bauassment at having to submit to
such spectacle.
A teacher may thump boy about
because he misbehaves, but the days
are well nigh past whore 1t does other
than harm. Whipping is not looked
on as lightly as it once was. IL car
ries with it now IA deeper degradation
than il did in the schools OF thirty or
forty years ago, where the tencher
went about with ruler in hand slap
ping and banging all day long.
He is expected now to use his intel
ligence and not his fist and children
are quite as studious and dutiful in
the schoolroom and no less bright than
they used to be- II is poor teacher
who can not win the regard Of his pu-
pills to degree that will enable him
to control their behavior; and coBsid-
ering the insight and patience it re-
quires il is seldom that they are well
enough paid for It.

WHY THIS DELAY?

The councilmanic board last night
voted to refer the market house, city
hospital and paved streets bonds issue
to committee. This means that the
aldermen in few days will vote on
the same question, and possibly ratify
the action of the council, and posi-
bly, not If it does, in the course of
time, the mayor always takes his time
the committee may be named. The
committee will then take a few days
to ruminate on the subject. and a
meeting may be called. BY this time
it will be spring.. and the first few
meetings will likely adjourn without
doing anything. They will cuss and
discuss, and move to meet again the
next week. Then there will be no
quorum present, and they will adj
journ. After that they may at some
subsequent meeting agree on a report,
and the report will possibly be ready
to present to the council by niid-sum-
mer. If it suits the boards, it may be
concurred in. II it doesn't, it will be
voted down and new committee pro.
badly appointed. II it is adopted the
provisions in 1t will be carried out at
the leisure of our able legislators.
which means that possibly before next
winter the bond business will be set
tied and the city will be ready to sell
her bonds.
There is no excuse for the delay that
has already marked the bond affair in
Paducah. To think that after four
months have elapsed, the city should
find the bond matter right where it
was the day after election, is a dis
grace to municipal government. Moth
ing could more clearly indicate the
indifference and incompetency of our
city officials.
There is the fire department ques-
tion, also taken up last night and also
referred. 1t has been before the boards
for the past three or four years. The
insurance companies have made their
demands several times, and no atten-
tion was paid to them. If we are not
mistaken, it first came up under May
or Lsng's administration, aud yet it
has never been settled to this day.
There was no excuse for putting it off
las. night. Any man with ordinary
intelligence can see that it merely
means" will we do t,or will we not 20
They could have settled the question
last night in few minutes without
referring it to anything. The way
the boards transact business in Padu-
cab justifies the belief that nothing
will be done for weeks. The commit
tees seem totally unprepared for any
responsibility or duty imposed on

Perhaps Lord" Barrington's tears
are fully justified. His first expert
encs in st. Louis was when he was
sentenced to the work house for six
months because he got knocked out of
a house by his brother-in-lAw. He
was subsequently released because
public sentiment revolted at the IN
just punishment, and has now been
tried and convicted on circumstantial
evidence for killing his benefac tor.
Few persons who have followed the
evidence can understand, no doubt,
why this friendless man, scoundrel
though he may be, should be con-
demned to death on such slight testi-
mony when so many red handed muir
derers, who are seen to commit har-
rowing and cowsrdly crimes escape
with Imprisonment, or 90 free entire
ly because of technicalities or on
pleas of insanity. Too many guilty
men escape these days, and too many
perhaps innocent men are convicted
on circumstantial evidence, because
of the ignorance and prejudice of ju'
rymen. We can never have a high
quality of justice until we adopt, high
err standard of jurymen.
