The Depot Burned

The Rock Island depot was quickly
and completely destroyed by fire early
Tuesday morning. The fire was dis
covered about 1870 and had gained
considerable Roadway at that time.
1t seemed to start in the roof near
the north end Of the building and
being dry and intlamable spread very
rapidly. The alarm was given as soon
as discovered and a crowd quickly
gathered and the fight began. The
boys at the depot saved all the prop
erty possible. The money drawer and
some of the more impOrtal t office
fixtures were carried out but the rec
ords were destroyed. From the first
fears for tue safety of the hotel were
entertained and the boys with the hose
guarded 10 carefully. What little
wind there was carried the sparks
away from rather than toward the
hotel and it escaped without catching
Several cars near the depot were
burned slightly and two OF them were
badly damaged.
Telegraphic communications were
cut off, but the operator went to
Dana and sent In the orders by the
telephone. The line was quickly re-
paired. y
The depot will doubtless soon be
replaced by new one. Some extern
sive improvements have been planned
by the company and it is hoped that
that the new depot will be a larger
and more convenient building,
The loss while serious will not in
terfere with traffic and all necessary
supplies will be sent from headquar-
tiers as soon as possible.

RESOLUTIONS.
~ We The members of the socialist
party of Phillips county, Kansas, in
convention assembled On the 18th day
of April, 1904. respectfully present to
the voters,of Phillips county, the fol-
lowing cardinal principles of socialism;
We reaffirm our belief in and sup
port of the principles set forth in the
national socialist platform as adopted
at Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1901, and
In the platform as adopted by the
Kansas state socialist convention held
at Wichita, March 3Oth, 1904,
AS means Of securing the adOptio ion
of these principles, we demand for the
/, people the adoption of the Initiative
and Referendum and Imperative
Mandate, to enable them to secure
such laws as a majority may desire
and nullify such as a majority may
think detrimental To their best inter-
ests, and to recall unlaithful public
servants.
We declare the principles of social
ism to be the direct opposite to those
of capitalism the latter Of which hav-
ing filled the land with reform schools,
insane aSylums, jais, prisons, crime,
SumS, sweat shops, tramps, strikes,
bull pens, military despotlsm and in
(dustrlal slavery.
AS remedy for these evil condl
tious we demand:

management in the interest Of all the
people, OF all the means Of public
transportation and communication
such as railroads, telegraphs and tele-
phones, the same to be appraised and
purchased by said government under

ARMS OF CHILDREN
ARE GETTING SORE.

Vaccinations Are beginning to
Show Effects in the Schools.
Many a school child these days is
looking reproachfully at his or her
arm and signing for the freedom of
the glorious days of vacation. The
cause of all the woe is that the vac
cination is beginning ito take" and
that the arm has become a most amaz-
ingly tender part of the anatomy.
Some of the children are wearing the
protection pads thus advertising to
their mischieviously inclined compan-
ions the best place at which to aim
telling blow.
There were not nearly so many vac
cinations this year as last the great
majority of the children having gone
through that ordeal last year. But
still there were sufficient to make more
than 200 children miserable and to
furnish amusement for the more for
tunate individuals. And these days
when one sees a sad-eyed, pensive
schoOl-boy standing aloof from his roll
licking companions and looking visit
fully towards them it is a certain sign
that he is one of the unfortunates who
have yielded to the physician and been
vaccinated.
And Il new form of amusement has
come into being. The individuals
whose arms are strong and healthy
and free of that embarrassing sore-spot
seem to take an almost fendish delight
in making rapid lunges at other arms
or swinging vigorously at them with
their school books. And the fun is
unitigated because retaliation is i'm
possible.

WILLY AVENUE
A SPLENDID DRIVEWAY.
Except That Part of 1t within the
City Limits.


Wylly avenue, or the White Bluff
road, as it is better known, from the
city to White Bluff, or, more properly,
Vernonburg, except that part of it
which is within the city limits, has
been put in splendid condition by the
County Commissioners, and is doubt
less, with the exception mentioned,
the best conditioned highway in the
county.
From the city limits to near the five
mile post the road is hardened with
Augusta ebert and from there to White
Bluff it is paved with oyster shells,
which have been crushed by the steam
roller.
The White Bluff road was for years
a toll road, but the franchises of the
corporation that owned it. the Vernon
burg Shell Road Company, were pur-
chased by the County Commissioners
two years ago. and the highway was
restored to the public. 1t is a most
beautifully shaded road, and a drive
over it is a luxury.
As the road is a continuation of Bull
street, Savannah's boulevard, the city
authorities should put that part of it
that is within the city's limits in good
condition. There is only a distance
of about a quarter of mile in length
that requires attention, and it seems
odd that it should not be made to con-
form to Bull street as a thoroughfare.

"Oh for cool weather" is the prayer

strenuous months, summer yet fingers
in the lap of fall and shamelessly re-

year of nineteen hundred and four.
OF course. the thought of overcoats
with the thermometer at so in the
shade would be preposterous, though
there is one case on record where all
overcoat has been purchased within the
past ten days. The clerk who receiV-
ed the order tainted.
When October comes the merchants
generally expect to have their summer
stock depleted, or packed away for
next year. Though the winter goods
are temptingly displayed the wearers
Of straw hats. alpaca coats and mus

them to purchase their winter wearing
apparel.
But there's one consolation, they
must have the goods. When the
weather does get cool trade will liven
up with a rush. 1t would be bet
ter to distribute the trade little more
evenly.
We're just in the middle between

ROADWAY AS PLANNED
WOULD KILL TREES
Will Have to Change Emmett Park
Plans to Save Them.

Though all of the curbing to be used
in the Improvement of Emmett Park
has arrived and is on the ground, the
work will be delayed until a new road
way has been laid out. 1t was found
that the road as planned would neces-
state the cutting down of number
of trees. A new plan for the roadway
is now being prepared, and there is
likely to be a lively fight over it.
There are about twenty trees in a
row about twenty feet from the re-
tanning wall on the north of the park.
If the roadway should be laid cut as
had been planned these trees will have
to be cut down and ali agree that this
should not be done. There is a differ
ence of opinion. however, as to where
the roadway should go. Some say
put it on the north side CT the trees
and some on the south. Those who
have fought for the park in order to
get a pleasure ground for the people in
that section of the city, wont the road
on the north of the trees, so that it
will take as little of the park as pos
sible. Oilers, however. want 1t on the
south side. This matter win probably
be fought out in Council. Meanwhile
Tfe city engineers office has been III
structed to get up a new plan FIR the
roadway.

Some time ago Mayor Myers received

If he bought land he could build a

very much stock in the application for
a franchise.
Until the publication from Washin-
ton in the Morning News yesterday
II was not known that the government
was considering putting a wireless
station here. City officials say they
hope II will be established.
