AT the last meeting of the present
city council, last night, the Marion
and Suburban railway was granted an
extension of eight months. until Sep
tember 1, to complete and. put in OPP
Grafton it's lines. The ordinance
graning the extension to the company
was introduced, passed to its three
readings and adopted by unanimous
vote
After trying in every way to get
the vetoed arch ordinance into shape
for vote that it might be passed
over the mayors vote, council finally
decided TO leave the question for the
new council.
George w. Whysall, OF the electric
light company, was present at the
meeting. He told council that if the
arc lights are now located at the
points where II is proposed to erect
arches were placed at other street
intersections not too far removed
from the central part of the city. his
company will furnish power for fifty
four candle power incandescents on
each arch at the same price per year
as is paid for the arc lights, namely
$50. The city must construct the
arches and furnish the first globes,
then the company will take care OF
the lamp renewals. The proposition
aroused a lengthy discussion. The
members were of the opinion that

four candle power lamps would not
be successful on the arches and that
more than fifty would be needed on

that an experiment De made on the

Council then went into star cham

to talk over the proposition with Mr..

that a test would be made on the
square Tuesday night and that council

will be up to the new council in any

Upon Leaving Theater Discovered
Purse was Missing.

When Earl Miller,of Waldo, came
to Marion last night he had a
pocket book filled with crisp twenty
dollar bills, amounting in all to
1887. 100. About III O'Clock the young
man discovered that his valuable
wallet had either been lost or
stolen and he hurried to police
headquarters to disclose his loss.
Miller hasn't the slightest idea
what became OF the money. He
arrived in Marion about z O'Clock
placed his horse IN the Perry liv-
cry barn, dined at Mosier's restau-
rant and finally went to "Uncle
Toms Cabin" at the opera house.
IT was when he was leaving the
thester that he missed the wallet.
Miller came to Marion with the
intention of purchasing an interest
ip a local livery barn and conse-
.duently had placed sufficient money
in his wallet to pay for the share.
The deal was not consummated
and Miller intended to return home
with the money
The young man claims that he
took the wallet out of his pocket
while driving along the Prospect
pike about two miles south OF the
city. and that was the last seen
of the money. Miller offers \ re-
ward of $S7 to the finder of the
wallet.

and in arresting the Daniels. Young
Daniels is said to have declared
that he business man whose name
he has given the authorities, bought
the materials with which the mint

assistants is given the right, at all
times of day or night, to enter g
building in which fire has occurred
or the buildings near by for the pur.
pose of examination and may at
all reasonable hours" enter any
buildings or premises for the pur.
pose of investigating fire dangers.
MAY REMOVE DANGERS.
The fire marshal or his assistants
may direct that any building which
is so dilapidated as to be a fire
danger shall be repaired or that
dangers from combustibles or ex-
plosives be remedied. The owner
who fails to comply with the order
of the fire marshal can be punished
by fine of $40 to $50 for each day
neglect, by suit brought in the
municipal or Justices court.
The necessity Of having a state
department for the investigation of
suspicious fires lies in the fact that
successful work in that line can
only be done by those who have a
special training in the pursuit of
incendiaries; a training that officers
charged with other duties have no
time to acquire.
DIFFICULTY IN CONNECTING.
1t is more difficult to convict one
for burning his property to defraud
the insurance company than for any
common crime. The burning is
always deliberately planned, re-
quires no accomplices, may be so
arranged that the fire will occur at
a time at which the guilty person is
at a distance, and the evidences of
the crime all go up in smoke. At
best the evidence is circumstantial
and to secure a conviction by cir
cumstantial evidence is always diff
cult.
In nearly all cases of burning to
defraud, an insurance agent has
overinsured losing business or an
undesirable home. Many think
that it is the insurance company
that pays the loss. 1t is not. The
other policy holders have paid it in
advance in their premiums. The
insurance company only distributes
the loss.

State Good Roads Convention

A very fine program is assured
for the Good Roads Convention at
Milwaukee Sept. II. An urgent in
vitation has been sent to Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson to attend and
give an address. Senator Stout of
Menomonie is to preside. Ex-Goy-
ernor Hoard, one of Wisconsin's
most prominent farmers, has also
been invited to address the conven-
ton, and has given assurance that
he will be present if possible. Many
prominent farmers from all over the
state have signifed their intention
of being present.
1t is assured that there will be
large number of town chairmen
present, as many have already ex-
pressed their determination to at
tend. This means that large body
of keenly interested persons will be
there for the purpose of getting all
the benefit to be obtained. They
will go home and put to practical
application the suggestions they re-
ceive.
Each town chairman has been
asked to nominate delegates from
his town. They should not fail to
get these nominations in at the ear
Hest possible date. This is necessa-
ry in order that the delegates may
get their appointments in time to
make arrangements to go. Every
delegate appointed should make
special effort to attend as it is an
opportunity not to be missed. The
excellent speakers, the practical
exhibition of road building by
the State Geological Survey and the
opportunity to ask questions of ex-
pert road builders make this con-
yention a rare chance, and no dele
gate should miss it unless it is alb
solutely unavoidable.

How 1t Works.
T. M. PURTELL,
State Fire Marshal

In viewing the effects of the little
tornado that tore things loose on the
night of the 18th ult. one will see
the wind did not accomplish these
results by straight pull against OBJ
stacles in its path. 1t is evident
that the wind was definitely cyclon-
ic, or whirling swiftly on vertical
axis moving forward. The progress
and character of such a wind storm
may be understood by noticing
"high-water" in a stream. The
cross water currents flow as do the
air currents in cyclone, but they
move slow enough to show the de-
tails. The water swirls may be
made near the lower end of an OBJ
struction, as an island or a rock,
when the forward movement of the
swirl frequently marches in an ir-
regular line, seeming to shy at i'm
aginary obstacles; it may also rise
above the general level, or fall be-
| low it. Such varied movements
necessarily release the average
pressure of water at different levels
and again increase it, as shown by
the behavior of floating chips, etc.,
which alternately float at the sur
1 r L.
But air is eight hundred times
lighter than water, is highly elastic,
whereas water is devoid of elastic
ity; thus the movement of air will
be vastly more active and infinitely
! more varied than the movements of
the water that are seen. Further,
only the upper surface of the
water is seen, whereas the results
at the bottom of the air are recorded.
But there is little difficulty in per-
ceiving that the storm of the night
of the 18th may have been generated
by antagonistic, widespread air
currents, approaching horizontally
at an angle from different points of
the compass. And whirling vol
ume of air may be of wide scope,
it's north and south sides moving in
opposite directions; its east and
west sides also moving in opposite
directions, so that if River Falls
was on the north margin of the
cyclone the wind seemed to be in a
direction opposite to that which
would have been experienced if the
city had been on the south margin,
etc etc.
Reflection also shows that the
vertical pressure at the center OF
the cyclone will be different from
that at the margin, SO that coming
suddenly upon the Lutheran church,
for instance, the release of pressure
on the outside of the church would
result in the inside airs forcing the
shingles off, as actually took place,
Just as the tea-kettle lid is forced
off when steam pressure within ex-
ceeds air pressure from without.

The State Fire Marshal's
Duties.
Provisions of the Law Under
Which He Will Work.

The most important duty of the
fire marshal is to create a universal
impression that swift pursuit and
inevitable punishment awaits any
one who burns property for revenge
or to defraud. He is also given
power to correct conditions which
are liable to cause fires, that are
discovered by his inspectors or are
reported by citizens.
The fire marshal law provides
that the cause, origin and clrcum-
stances of every fire occurring in the
state in which the loss exceeds $500
shall be reported 20 the fire marshal.
The report of a fire in a city having
fire department is to be made by
it's chief; if in a city or village by
the mayor or president of the board;
if in a rural community by the town
clerk. The officer is required within
two days to Especially make invest
igation as to whether such fire was
the result of carelessness, accident
or design"
SUSPICIOUS FIRES.
If there be circumstances which
suggest probability that the fire
was started intentionally by some
one, no matter how small the loss,
the state fire marshal must be noti-
fed at once. If there are no suspl-
cious circumstances the officer must
within one week furnish to the fire
marshal a written statement OF all
the facts relating TO the cause and
origin of the fire and such other in
formation as may be called for by
the blanks furnished by said fire
marshal"
The penalty for the failure of the
clerk, mayor or fire chief to so report
fire is a fine of SIS to 5000.
For the making of each report
township clerks and municipal Off
GERS who do not receive a stated sal
ary are allowed $500 and ten cents
a mile to and from the place of the
fire. This money is paid to the re-
porters of fires at the years end
Fire chiefs and mayors receiving
stated salaries get no fee. In a few
DAYS blanks and instructions will
be mailed 10 these officers. Upon
their active sympathetic aid the
success of the new fire marshal de-
partment largely depends.
POWERS OF THE FIRE MARSHAL.
The fire marshal, his assistants
or deputies may take up the invest1-
cation of any fire at any time and
exercise all the powers of a court.
They may compel the attendance OF
witnesses and the production OF
books; may administer oaths, make
arrests, and punish for contempt by
fine or jail sentence. They may
separate witnesses and exclude at
torneys during examinations. The
fire marshal must reduce all testi-
mony he takes to writing, furnish a
copy of it with all other facts of
value to the prosecuting attorney of
the county and follow each case
until it is disposed OF.
