How They Like Tuckey.

The Boston Herald in commenting upon Tuckey's fine showing in the game against St Louis Tuesday, has the following to say: "A 'southpaw' with a quick breaking drop ball and fair speed is Tuckey, and the Missouri ians found him difficult at every stage of the contest. Only one of the Cardinals reached second. The team as whole registered but six singles, and two of these were of the scratch order One base on balls was chalked up against the newcomer, and, taken altogether, his performance was a pretty nice piece of baseball. Tuekey will be with the Doves on their west ern trip"

DEFECTIVE ELECTRIC WIRING

Since the big fire, some of the leading citizens have awakened to the fact that in many eases the electric light wiring in their resi- dences and places of business has been very carelessly done, in the past, especially that done some years ago. account, insufficient supply of appliances and material, is unsafe, and in some cases very dangerous. Among those inspect ed were the bank building, (the entire block) also MT. Robinson's residence, both of which were found to be in a dangerous con- dition. In two cases small scorches have been found. These houses will be immediately re-wired and again inspected.
 Mir. Poison recently had the cleo tric wiring in his business block inspected and it was found to be unsafe He has let the wiring contract to MT. Huey, an inside wire-man connected with the Pos tai Telegraph Go.
 The Grand Canyon Electric Light and Power Company's presi dent was asked what position he took in regard to inspection of electric wiring, and stated that he was very glad to see the people wake up to the fact that their places of business and their resi- dences should be immediately in spected, a report made to proprie- tors, and the necessary corrections made in wiring. Some of the old wiring done years ago by contract, is found to be absolutely unsafe. and only by correcting same can property be protected from such fires as recently caused the city great loss. He stated that he was very much pleased to know that 8 disinterested party had been chosen to inspect and report on various buildings, as there will now be no question in the minds of the people as to the honest intentions of an inspector. whereas, had his com pany undertaken to have one of its employees inspect and report, some might have been dubious as to the necessity of making the inspection
 MT. Olson has just had the wir- ing in his two houses near the school house inspected. One of these was found to be in good con- dition, but in the other some changes will have to be made
 Much of the wiring in town was put in number of years ago and the wornout wires should be re- placed.
 The attention of our readers can not be too strongly urged to MT. Hickman's wire inspection notice in another part of this paper - Contributed.
