F|REBuGs At WORK ON BLAINE
Two Attempts Made to Burn the
UnIucky Town in One
Day.

BLAINE, Oct. 17.-Another attempt
to burn the business portion Of this
city occurred early yesterday morning.
AS yet no clue to the identity of the
incendiary has been discovered. The
fire broke out this time in the same
place as the fire of Tuesday, the prop
erty of the Globe Investment company
occupied by the Bay City Market and
Stage & King. 1t was put out again
by the quick work Of volunteers. The
stock of Stage & King, valued at $4,000
and with but $500 insurance is prac-
tically ruined by the fire, smoke and
water. The damage to the building
and to the adjoining Blaine Bar, was
also considerable.
The fire was started in the rear of
Stage & Kings store among lot of
old boxes and excelsior. Just before
it was discovered, the inmates of the
Blaine hotel, three story building,
which is next to the building, which
took fire on the south heard someone
walk over the roof of Stage & Kings
building. The people here are con-
WINGED that someone is trying to burn
the town.

YOU take canned French you want to

nal. German will be taught the same
way as soon as cylinders strong
enough to carry the words have been
perfected.
But this is not the only use of the
phonograph. 1t has been called in to
save the state Of New York from the
"plunderbund." The head OF the ink
bund, the headline bund, the comic
bund. and the "copyrighthearst"
bund went the other day to phono-
graph depot and, posing before a ma
chine, delivered speech while an i'm
mediate-picture man rock his gestures
instanter. The record and the ges-
lures have ben combined into one me-
lodious whole, and in a few days
William Randolph will be addressing
audiences in the far recesses of New
York, where no candidate has ever
penetrated and where they have never
even seen "de Joinal." A creak, a
groan, a buzz and a cough and 10, the
savior of New York stands before
them and in PA time discourses upon
the crimes of the plunderbund. 1t. is
a great scheme. 1t makes all the vot-
ers of New York familiar with William
Randolph. But it has its drawbacks.
The republicans are following the
monograph candidate with picture
of William Randolph's delivery wagon
running over a poor old woman and
Willie chasing to the supreme court to
get out of paying verdict of $4,000
for the carelessness of his driver.

Merry ACTORS PREVENT PANIC

Cheers.

CHICAGO, Oct. II. Chicago fires
yesterday brought several heroes to
the front. In at least five instances
loss of life was prevented by the
prompt action of those who thought Of
the safety Of others rather than Of
their own.
In the Haymarket theater, 1000 per-
sons were Gained by the prompt and
decisive action of those on the stage.
Presence of mind and steady nerves
Of performers during the evening show
averted a repetition of the Iroquois
theater disaster. With the gallery in
flames and the house filled with more
than 1000 persons, the actors and act
resses on the stage performed their
acts as though fire were a customary
feature of their performance while
the audience, with good nature, WINS
tied and applauded while the firemen.
from seven fire stations with axes.
scattered the burning embers into the
lower floors.
There was no semblance of panic,
and the fire was extinguished with
rrifling loss.

Seattle News,

Seattle is to have a frog farm. r.
c. Byers, a pioneer restaurant man
of the city, has made elaborate pre-
parations for the culture Of the frog,
and proposes to market his product
this winter. He has purchased five
acres bordering on Halter Lake, form
erly known as Hidden Lake. The frog
farm proper will have lake frontage
of 200 feet. For 40 feet to the lake.
ward, a fence of wire will be con-
structed to prevent the escape of the
croaking captives. Mr.. Byers has built
his farm on the marshiest portion Of
the lake and states that the soil and
conditions are such as to assure the
success of his project. He has i'm
ported his frogs from the famous Kan
kakee Marsh, in Illinois, The frogs
are of the green bullfrog type, and
when ready for market their legs will
equal those of a chicken.

PUT IN THE RECALL SYSTEM.

When the city Of Walla Walla Sc.
cures a new charter-and there Is
every reason to believe such will bt
obtained in sthe near future-th'
trainers Of that governing instru'
ment should not omit one provision
which is fast becoming the creates
and most efficient safeguard to the
interests of city.
1t is the recall system.
In the light Of past experiences with
irresponsible and reckless councilmer
who, after securing office, de.
velop tendencies not before dreamed
of by their constituents, the recall sys.
tenn is an imperative necessity ii
Walla Walla. With such a system there
could be no repetitions' of the impu-
dent defiance of public sentiment such
as at times, characterizes the con-
duct of some Walla Walla council
men. The least hint at scandal, or the
first indication of betrayal Of the
constituent interests would, or could
result in the recall of the offending Of
fetal and the election of another coun-
Gilman. --.->
Under the recall system-which has
been adopted SO successfully in Los
Angeles and other cities, previously
burdened with grafters in Office
clean administration of municipal af-
fairs is assured.
When a man is elected to Office he
is generally successful upon his
pledges on certain issues and through
the belief of those voting for him t;lkt
he will honor those pledges
Should the voters of ward, at any
time have reason to believe they are
not well, wisely, or honestly repre-
scented, they may, upon presenting a
petition to the council, bearing a stip-
ulated number of signatures, ask the
resignation of the Objectionable Off
cial.
Under the system the councilman
must resign. He has the right to
run again in the special election
called and to combat the candidate
put up against him if he so desires
although such has been rarely success
full. sa
The recall system for all city Off
Gals should be embodied in the new
charter 1t is of more benefit, a greater
protection. to the citizenship than any
direct primary, or other election
scheme, ever devised.

EQUAL. LAW IN THE SOUTH.


Senator Tillman's advocacy of a
passport system for keeping track of
the idle and vicious classes in the

Tillman proposed an equitable law for

south is hampered to an immense ex-
tent in its material development by
the loafer. But he is not always black.
The down at-the-neel white individ-
ual meets you at every turn in Dixie,

1t cannot be the purpose because there
is an essential difference between the
black and the white loafer. The lat

father was a decent citizen, has the

there will be no labor on the roads for
him.
