CONDEMNED the BUILDINGS
The Fire Committee Made the Rounds
Thursday Afternoon and Con-
demned Structures.

What is II of the most sweep:le
orders yet emanating from the coun-
Gil was started Thursday Afternoon
when the fire committee consisting
OF Aldermen Kelley, Doyle, and Nc
Dougall, met to condemn the Logan
building on south Main street which
has recently been undergoing re-
pairs. After Aldermen Kelley and
Doyle of the committee had inspect
ed the building in question it was
decided to visit the alleys back of
Main street in the business section
with the result as given below.
This embraces practically every old
shack back in the alleys which have
for SO long been considerable of an
eyesore. This movement is directly
in line with civic improvement and
will not only make the back streets
cleaner but also safer from fire. 1t
is the policy of this committee to
continue their work along this line
until the back streets are as clean
as the front. All owners of the
structures and buildings listed below
will be given five days notice to re-
move the same and at the end of
that time the chief of police will be
instructed to remove or destroy the
same at the expense of the owners
Following is the property affected in
the business section:
Lot 8, block 3. barn and shed.
Lot 2, block 8. smoke house.
Lot /, block 3, Clubhouse.

With the benediction by Rev. A.

that it is the ninetieth anniversary of
the founding of the order and also the

Maximum, the yiolinist

From the Wisconsin State Journal,
of Madison, we clip the following
article of criticism on the work of
Fredrik Maximum, the violinist, who
recently appeared in concert work in
that city. The young man, who is
a son of DR.. T. j. Macmurray, of this
city, is making a fine reputation for
himself in the musical world:
Seldom has an audience been so
completely held in the grip of a
player as vas that of the Mozart club,
at the Fuller. last evening, under the
spell of the Hungarian violinist,
Fredrik Maximum. In the opening
Sarasate Faust Transcription. adj
mirable as was his playing, he did
not rise to his best heights, unless
perhaps in the duet, but he warmed
more and more to his work through
out the evening until he left his hear
ers powerless to criticize. There is
the throb and thrill Of genius in his
tone, a pathos, a sob, as of a human
voice in pain that reaches the very
heart of hearts of the hearers. In his
soft passages with the soedino, where
his violin speaks in the finest, yet
clearest whisper, and in his harmon
les, he is wonderful. He delighted
every one present with his own ar.
rangement of the Lucia Sextette for
violin alone, and he gave a most noble
Interpretation of the Bach aria 70,
the G string, whose full poetry is not
often given as he gave it.. In his owr
Romanza, in Schummann's "Trau
merei," and in other selections he
touched the most sympathetic chord

PEOPLE We KNOW
They are Mitchell People, and What
They Say is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the follow
iii. occurs right here at home, it is
b.lnd to carry weight with our read
ers. So many strange occurrences go
the rounds Of the press; are pub
li,,ed as facts, people become skep-
teal. On subject skepticism is
rapidly disappearing. This is due to
the actual experience of our citizens,
and their public utterances regard
ing them. The doubter must doubt
no more in the face of such evidence
as this. The public statement of a
reputable citizen living right at
home, one whom you can see every
day, leaves no ground for the skeptic
to stand On.

~ OR many years the government has
 been trying to stop the smuggling of opium into San Francisco by the Chinese, but on account of the schemes and tactics used by the smugglers it has been very hard to detect the crlprits. Regardless of the close ex- aminations made by the government ofi- cials, much opium is still smuggied into San Francisco each year.
 Not long ago the officials suspected that there was a quantity of opium on one of the Chinese ships and decided to make a close investigation. They went through the entire ship. but failed to find any of the stuf. Finally they came to the conclusion that there was none or board. The officers went to the deck and there noticed several oil cans in plain view near the rear mast.
 One of the officers went to the can and took oil the cap. It was quite evident that the can contained oil by its

There Is little, scientific work attached to the tests They are first placed in n vat containing a compound much below the freezing point In this way the lowest tempera- ture is registered. and then the bulb is dipped into a vat of 65-degree water. This gradually goes to 130, and If the mercury in the bulb reaches that point the thermometer is declared good.
