Residence Burned.

Last Thursday afternoon the fire bell brought the boys of the Depart ment and few hundred others out on a run, in time to witness the burning of a two-story residence, on Second street, belonging to w. A. Mackie, proprietor of the Owl Restaurant. The wind was blowing perfect gale right across the channel and when the com panies reached the building it was al ready mass of flames. The sparks were carried to tho adjoining buildings by the wind and it looked for time as if it would be impossible to save any of them. It took some time to lay line of hose from the Natatorium as 1t re- quired 2O50 feet to cover the distance, and then many were very doubtful ot the ability of the pump to raise the water to that point. But it did it and with sufficient force to put a stream on the roof of the house occupied by Mir. Ed. Armstrong. This house was saved by hard work, it being on fire in several places. MT. Armstrong's fur niture, including a fine piano, was moved out by willing hands, but in the hurry several articles were badly dam aged.
 The home of Chas. Chamberlain, al thougb right in the line of the fire, escaped without damage.
 Mir. Wm. Kelly and family were part ly moved out before it became certain that their home was not in real danger.
 As stated above, the residence of MT. Mackie was a complete loss, including the furnishings. The fire originated in stump which stood near, and which probably caught from sparks from the cabins on the beach.
 Every building in the line of the fire had to be watched carefully, and stumps over half mile away caught fire from the sparks.
 The fire fighting among the stumps continued, with slight intermissions until nearly midnight and the fighters only rested when it was all out.
 The people of Douglas should re- member the danger of stump fires, and, when the summer comes every lot in the city should be cleared of these homely pests.

The Election.
homely pest

The city of Douglas is on the eve of the third annual election for the selec- ton of city officers. A caucus has been held and candidates for the various po- sitions selected. It is now up to the voters to make the choice, and with them rests the responsibility.
 Many matters of grave importance have presented themselves for the con- sideration of the council that will be elected next Monday; matters that will require careful thought and considera- tion. The personnel of the school board is not less important. Both in the affairs of the city and the school it is necessary that the most rigid econ omy be maintained and the members of both bodies should be chosen with an eye single to that feature of the case. Of course it is necessary to main tain the schools-aud good schools which carries with it the idea of good instructors, and they should be paid good and sufficient salaries, proportion ate to the wage received by the work ing man, but not more.
 One of the reasons for the economic al administration of this branch of the city's business is the necessity of fur ther improvements to the school build ing. Our school house stands today, a monument to the progress and enter prise of the town-one of which our people may we'll be proud, but it needs paint badly.
 As for the candidates whose names have been presented, they are all too we'll known to need any special intro duction.
