WILL We CELfBRATf?.
Not Unless Some Of Our
Patriotic Citizens Wake :

On account of the small attendance,
and little interest shown at the 4th of
July committee meeting, to which the
general public was invited, at the city
hall, Wednesday evening, those in at
far as they were concerned. It is like
ly, however, that another attempt..will
be made to get the matter going. AS
there is over $500 already subscribed,
there is no reason, but that with a
little united effort, we can have a
grand celebration on the Fourth.
It is to be hoped that another at
tempt will be made, which, we be-
ieve, would meet with success.
When town don't hold 4th of
July celebration, there is surely some
thing wrong with it.

A man at Britt, Iowa, has invented
a new, cheap and, convenient fire es-
cape. 1t consists of long strip of
canvas and detachable piece of iron
piping. The canvas has ropes sewed
on the two edges and when the fire
alarm Is given the pipe Is attached to
a piece outside of the window and the
canvas unrolls to the ground, where
men take hold of it. The people then
get on the canvas and slide down, the
ropes on the sides tending to make the
canvas trough shaped SO that the per-
son will not fall out. It has worked
very successfully where tried and is
being ordered by many schools. The
cost Of the fire escape is about $18.-
