Fire an West Main street.

The Fire Department was called out
last Friday to extinguish fire that
started in the basement of Mrs. Lees
residence on West Main Street. The
boys did their work we'll and soon had
the fire under control. On arrival at
the place they found the place so full
of smoke that it was out of the ques-
ton to enter and remain, and they
turned the water into the basement
and soon had the fire out The house
was damaged to a considerable extent,
but the carpets, rugs and furniture are
almost a total loss. All is covered by
insurance and no doubt will be settled
in satisfactory manner to all con-
cerned.
Five of our firemen work in Lefeber
Bros. store and they were all at the
fire. Wauwatosa had ought to appre-
ciate our fire laddies. they are each
and every one of them Johnny on the
spot" at all times. we doubt If any city
OF our size has better company than
has Wauwatosa. Boost the fire cons
pany.
To show that Mrs. Lee appreciated
the work done, we happened to see her
hand SIS bill to- the chief who thank-
/ ed her. That is the kind of people
which go to make up our town. second
to none in the state of Wisconsin.

Power to Effect Reforms.
Under the license of these occasions
we are all prone to indulge in some ex-
travagance of rhetoric. Still. hazard
the further observation that it is with
in the power of the country press to
effect any reform which 1T may es-

those simple virtues which are essen

and in the vindication of the higher

that the expression of these views is

have not logical connection with my

ercises a real molding influence upon
the life of the community, which is the

local weekly with its record of personal
interests and sympathy and tragedies.
Perhaps its influence lies in the fact
that it is the forum of the great COM

of power and authority. You remem-

More Cells for Nevada Prison

The board of prison commissioners
have decided to add twenty more cells
to the Nevada state prison and have ar-
thorized advertisements for the con-
struction of the same. Each of the adj
ditional cells will be constructed so as
to accommodate four prisoners, thus
making room for eighty convicts.
More room is now needed at the prison
on account of the large number of con-
victs already there and the fact that
more are arriving almost daily. The adj
ditional cells and rooms were provided
for by the special session of the legis-
lature. The commissioners have also
decided to complete the stone wall
about the prison and work will begin
within few days on it. At the present
time there are about 200 convicts at the
institution and owing to the fact that
there is cell room for only about ITO, a
number Of the prisoners sleep in the
building where the gallows is located,
guards being placed over the men,

0hA0 prospectus diO SOOu AOI HIS ulClinaCo
recovery:
Governor Sparks illness dates from
December z, and was caused by expos
ure in an open auto on trip from
Carson City to. Reno and return. He
contracted cold that developed into
trifacial neuralgia, an inflammation of
the nerves
He was taken to bed about the first
of the year and was called about
January 10, and have attended him ever
since. The neuralgia extended to the
nerves supplying motion and sensation
in the extremities, incapacitating him
from the use of the legs. The aliment
was relieved about the first Of this
month.
He went to San Francisco in hopes
that the change would do him good.
He is much improved but is still con-
fined to his bed, though in very little
pain.
There is no paralysis. He is unable
to use his legs because of the great pain.
The name of his malady is. multiple
periphial neuritis, disease that is not
necessarily fatal, but one that will
require some time for the patients
recovery.
Otherwise his condition is normal.
He stood the trip home very well, slept
all night in the car and felt better

bed tonight and 1 look for his steady
improvement.
The above statement was made to
The Journal last night by DR., St. Clair,
in answer to a request for definite
statement of authority on the Clover
nor's condition.
Reports of his complete paralysis are
denied by the physician and the
seriousness of the case does not appear
from his statement as great as repoted.
He was brought home by his wife and
the doctor in order that he might re-
ceive the care of a home rather than
that of a hospital.
Governor Sparks is an old man and it
is believed that worry incidental to the
Goldfeld strikes and the subsequent
special session of the legislature are
what broke him down.
Relieved of all worry and under con-
slant care, it is believed that he will
recover sufficiently to again take up his
duties as governor
He is surrounded with evarv care and
a trained nurse is in charge of the sick
room. The doctor says that when he
can reduce the inflammation of the
nerves sufficiently to allay the pain so
that he may use his limbs, his restora-
ton to health will be half completed.
