Stop Chimney Fires.

A simple and easy way of stopping
a chimney fire, says the Appleton
Crescent, is to take large wet cloth
and wind it around the stove pipe just
above the stove. The moisture from
the wet cloth forms a cloud Of steam
inside the pipe, which rises and
smothers the fire in the chimney Nj
nest at once. This method has proved
effective in the case of chimney fire
so fierce that tina stove pipe all the
way from the stove to the chimney
was red hot, and has never been
known to fail. The chief beauty Of
the plan is its simplicity and the ease
with which it can be used by any one.
Simply saturate large cloth with
water, wind it around the stove
pipe at any point where it is hot
the hotter the better-and the steam
generated inside the pipe will do the
rest.

Club House Fire.

The fire department was called out
Wednesday night at II 80 o'clock by
an alarm turned in from Box 81. The
department responded promptly, the
fire being in club house near Knis-
pels ice house on Lynn street in the
Sixth ward, which was partially des-
troyed, but the loss did not amount
too much. The origin of the fire has
not been ascertalned By the way,
would it not be a good idea for the
city authorities to prohibit the cree
tion of certain kinds of club houses
within the fire limits?

No Road and Bridge Tax.

The attention Of the editor Ut the
Leader has been called to tho facts
that that portion of WATERFOWL which
is in Jefferson county pays no county
road and bli dge tax, the city building
its own bridges without county aid
1t is different in that portion which il
in Dodge county which receives county
aid IN maintaining the bridges therein.
AS far as Jefferson county is concern
ed, it is probably wise arrangement
for it gives the city exclusive control
over It's bridges and were it otherwise
there might be continuous conflict be-
tween the county and city authorities
as to the kind and cost of the bridges
within the city limits.

MISUNDERSTANDING
Of THE SITUATION
WATERLOO DEMOCRAT HAS
VAGUE IDEA.
Rock County Given as an Example
in the Municipal Court Controv-
erSy-BelOit About the Size of
WdtertoWn Has One-Only
Twelve MileSFrOm County Seat.
(From Sunday S Daily.)

The Democrat does not wish to be
impairment, but we merely rise te
inquire whether Watertown would be
as anxious for municipal court, in
Guiding in its jun isdiction the towns
of Dodge and Jefferson counties that
were included under the bill before
the last legislature, if the bill also
provided that the judge for said court
were to be chosen from outside the
city of Watertown. If that city needs
a court let them have one. But leave
out the towns that do not wish It..
Make it local affair. When the
matter was up before the best point
that was made in favor of it was that
it would be a splendid thing for the
hotels and merchants of WATERFOWL
That may be good argument from
the point of view of Watertown people,
but it does not appeal strongly to US
outside. Waterloo Democrat.
Come Herb, let us reason together.
In anwser to the first query, Would
say, that the voters 1esiding in the
territory included in the municipal
court district, would elect the judge
of such court-and here, it might not
be amiss to call attention to the fact
that Beloit, city about the size of
Watertown has municipal court and
that city is only twelve miles from the
county seat where there is also a
municipal Court, and it we mistake
not, the voters of the entire county
elect the judges of both of the court.
Because a town is included in the
territory over which such a court may
have jurisdiction, it does not neces-
sarially follow that the litigation of
any loca lily shall be brought before
such court. And then, it may have
escaped the attention of those who
oppose the establishment of a munich
pal court in this city, that the justice
courts here have jurisdiction in both
counties, and considerable legal bust
ness comes here from Waterloo be-
cause 1t is much handler to come here
then go to jefferson as they can cume
and return home the same day and
avoid expense The trouble however,
is that justice court is limited in It's
jurisdiction as to amount of judgement
and can only impose Jail sentences
and is not a court of record, some
thing that city the size of Water
town should have. Under the circum-
stances the people of Watertown are
certainly justified in asking for a
municipal court and as they are will
ling to bear the principal part of the
burden for the maintenance of such a
court, there should be willingness
upon the part of the people of the
county to crafty the wish of the
people of this city.
