Washington, D. c., Dec. 3O.-The
number of city employees of the fire
departments in the 1853 cities treated
of in the Forthcoming U. S. Census
Bulletin No. 1O5, relative to the sta
tistics of cities of 10000 and more e.
timated population in 1907, was
29,O55, or nearly three-fourths of the
number of employees of the police de-
partments in the same cities.
Fire protection in many cities. how
ever, is furnished in large measure by
volunteer fire organizations, so that
the fire fighting force is somewhat
larger than the police force. Call men
are numerically unimportant in the
cities with a population of over 100000
and in the last few years there mas
been a marked tendency for all cities
of over 10000 Inhabitants to replace
call men with regular men.
1t is stated that, by presenting the
number of regular firemen per 10000
inh abitants. the number per 1000
acres of land area, and the number
per 100 miles of improved streets, op-
portunity is afforded for comparing
the effective strength of the depart
ments of the different cities. The
number per 10000 Inhabitants is pro
badly the best measure Of fire pro
lection.
The appropriations for 1906 and
1907 as given in the bulletin include
the anticipated expenditures for out
lays and for maintenance. The appro
priations for 1907 amounted to $3S.
529,636, an increase of $3,64S,S56, OF
1O.5 per cent, over the previous year
This, however, does not mean, it is
stated, that the expense of maintain
ing the departments increased at tina
rate, for a portion of this amount wa:
appropriated for the purchase of land
the construction Of buildings, and TO-
new apparatus. The per capita appro
priation for the 15S cities reportin,
was $1.65.
The per capita cost of maintenance

Recently it was announced that a
great silk dyeing firm of Lyons had
acquired a large factory in Paterson,
N. j., at a cast of several million dol
lars. The purpose of this acquisition
is to manufacture in the United States
class of high-grade silk dress goods
and textiles which hitherto has been
imported from France, Switzerland
and Germany. 1t is expected that in
future other high quality silk goods
ribbons, etc. will be manufactured in

walls that skilled workmen and ex-
perts of the silk Industries of Europe
will be drawn to America, thereby
inflicting injury on European pro-
duction and export trade.

A Methodicai Re;nq.

A man of method who attended 20
everything on schedule time, Whetner
it was work or recreation, had the
fortune to fall in love when he had
passed the age of forty. The mistress
of his heart put up with his oddities.
He had regular nights for calling upon
her, regular hours for coming and
going, regular theater and club nights,
etc. In fact, she looked upon his rega-
larity as something admirable.
Things had been going on in this
way for two years, and finally the
great crisis CAME. They were to be
married. The day was fixed, the we'd
ding clothes were made, the guests III
vited. and the minister was engaged.
At the appointed time they were all
assembled The bride was dressed, the
wedding presents were displayed, but
the bridegroom came not. The bride
wept and tainted, but it did no good.

groom hurried away to see if he could

Teaching Cubs to Kill.

Have you ever seen cat catch a
mouse and hand it over to her kittens
to teach them how to kill? Well, a
tiger is merely a big cat, and she
teaches her cubs almost in the same
way, only not with mice. An East In
dian officer witnessed a scene of this
kind. An old bull bison had been the
victim, and the tigress had disabled
him by breaking one of his forelegs
just below the knee. She never
touched the throat, the usual place OF
Selling, but allowed the cubs to worry
the disabled animal The eyewitness
relates that the cubs acted exactly like
kittens, advanced and retreated and
worried the victim, all the time new
ing and snarling, while the tigress sat
near by, watching their antics and &C.
casionalIy giving the bison blow with
her paw when he showed undue ac-
tivity.

six cars. the engineer saw Mr. Buchta
sitting at the engineroom door, appar-
emily overcome by heat or very i'll, as
he was gasping for breath. AS the six
cars were backing into the switch, a
brakeman was riding on the brake beam
of the first car and he noticed that Mr.
Buchta was apparently not needing the
approach of the train and he yelled to
him. He made an attempt to rise and
in doing so lurched forward and was
struck on the head by the car. The
brakeman Immediately went to his as
sistance and found him unconscious.
He then went into the shops for assis-
tance, informing George Jackson that
the engineer was hurt, then returning
to the engine room he found Mr. Buchta
had revived and was asked by him to
shut off the steam in the boiler room.
He asked Buchta where to do it, and
with that the unfortunate man opened
the gate to the big fy-wheel and with
the remark, 81 am all in, he threw
himself into the fast revolving wheel.
1t was instant death. He was torn to
pieces and his remains were scattered
about the room and some parts thrown
out onto the railroad tracks. In some
manner the governor belt was thrown
off and the great speed the engine at
tanned brought those working on the
first floor and Fritz jain promptly
stopped the engine.

Lianos of Venezuela.

Venezuela received its musical name
from the early Spanish residents, who
saw resemblance to Venice in the
sites of the inland cities. The llanos,
or bleak plains, on which the llaneros
live a precarious life, have largely
changed their character since Hum
boldt saw them Then these great
plains of grass supported innumerable
herds of cattle. but civil war led to
the destruction of the beasts to feed
the insurgents. The llanos are now
rapidly becoming a potential source OF
timber.

A sad accident occurred in the town
of Oakland last Friday whereby the 18-
months-old son and only child of Mr.
and Mrs Chase lost his life. Mr. Chase
is employed by Aug Radloff Jr on the
the Gates farm and Mr. and Mrs Chase
occupy the tenant house on the place,
adjoining the pasture. 1t appears that
the little one was playing outside and
started for the pasture. The mother,
noticing that some horses were close to
the fence, started in pursuit but before
she could catch the child he had passed
under the fence and reached the horses.
The animals became frightened and
colt kicked the child on the forehead,
causing instant death. Medical aid was
summoned and every effort made to re-
vive the little one, but the spark of life
had gone out. The body was taken to
Chippewa county, the former home of
the parents, where it was buried. The
bereaved parents have the sympathy of
all.
On the morning of the 29th inst the
case of the State of Wisconsin against
George Remnant was called in Justice
Hill's court. The result was that
George Reinhart was fined $50 and
costs which were paid and defendant
discharged The costs in case against
Perkins were paid and the case dis
missed. Mr. Smith, attorney for the
Herger Brewing Co, paid both cases.
Mr. Reinhart was the salesman and
Perkins the driver for the brewing COM
pany They are not, under the settle
ment, to visit us any more. Hereafter
the thirsty must get their beer by train
or express company. He suggested to
the court that in view of the fact that
] the defendant was willing to pay fine
of $50 and costs and promise to not
again violate the excise laws here, that
i the punishment be fixed at the mimi
mum fine of $50 and costs and no other
! cases against the defendant prosecuted,
but it was agreed and understood be-
! tween counsel that if there should be
! any further violations of the excise
! laws then all the cases the village has
against defendants were to be prose
cuted. Mr. Smith of counsel for de-
Tense confirmed all that Mr. Mason
stated to the court. In the case of the
| State against Walter Perkins, arrested
June &c, for delivering beer in Cam
bridge, similar agreement was made
/ between counsel.

The rumor that Geo w Becker has
been seen in Minneapolis appears to
have been unfounded. Mrs Tingdale
now states that the man seen by her
wore full beard, which Mr. Becker has
not done for years. This sets at rest
the theory that Mr. Becker is in Mime

Otto Hanson, an employe of the tele-

arm, and his back was also injured.
Because of a bill passed by congress
last Saturday, requiring all applicants
for government positions to take exam
nations in the state where they claim
residence, Miss Ruth McManus has
postponed her visit to Washington until
next fall. This unexpected turn of af-

Ruth, as she was all ready for the trip
on Wednesday, when the news reached
her.

home on the west side Monday evening.
Deceased had not been we'll for the past
