hands and arms were In a. dreadluI
state. The eczema seemed to be
spreading all over his body. HIS race
was so sore, we were obliged to PIT
mask or cloth over it. We were
obliged also to tie up his hands ana
arms to prevent him from scratching
the inf1amed places. We consulted
other doctors, used ointments and
salves sent us by friends and neigh
bors. Some of these things would
seem to have some effect, but after a
few days would act like poison, and
increase this stubborn disease.

Fire Sale.

Samuel Wahl opened his store on
Tuesday morning for the big fire
sale. The crowd was enormous.
There was hardly standing room. Fiji
teen extra clerks augmented the
usual large force and it was impos-
sible then to wait upon the patrons.
The rush still continues. The goods
shown this week are not so badly
damaged from fire or water-they are
materials frumpled and soiled in NOV
ing out. The prices are reasonable
and the sale no doubt will continue
to draw crowds.

More Fire Stations.

The results of the fires this week
have again demonstrated the need of
better fire protection. The firemen
are willing and respond promptly but
their work or their homes take them
to all parts of the city, blocks from
the engine house and it is expecting
what is beyond reason to expect
them to be able to be on hand as
soon as is really necessary. We need
more statiosn and then the firemen in
the different wards could report to
their own station. There are some
difficulties that the most willing
hearts cannot overcome. We have
simply outgrown the present equip
ments and we feel sure the city coun-
ell and all our citizens see the neces-
sity for. some sort of improvement
and will take steps in this direction
in the near future.
