ed that he had all the land allowed

years ago, Is present as a witness.
The contempt case was finished late
yesterday afternoon. The school di-
rectors. Thomas lockwood, o. p.

COMMERCIAL CLUB FOR MARION.

Another big fire has just visited
our city, devastating considerable
property and endangering the
homes, property and even the lives
OF many more uf our citizens. That
il was not a general conhagration
was due, not to the means Of pro-
lection afforded residents Of Marion,
but To the favorable conditions Of
the weather which prevailed, opcr-
ating against the spread Of fire.
We have no fire protection worth
mentioning, but thought not require
such another object lesson To bring
about a movement To secure at
early date both watcrworks and a
more adequate and modern system
for cXtinguishing fire. After secur-
ing the watcrworks, a modern frc
engine and other necessary appar-
atus l. needed, with a trained corps
for IT, operation. The consequent
lowering 81 the rate of premium on
insurance would ~ a long way
toward paying for these public
utilities. The present rates Ger.
tainly appear To- h. cNtortionatc,
hut by circumstances an probably
fully warranted.
We call attention in this conncc-
ton to the movement which Is now
under way Ia organize a CONNER
cial club, having just such public
enterprises ~ it, special mission.

This move has our hearty en-.

Marion is just merging from a lit
