Bad Fire at Wadsworth.

Wadsworth was the scene of a dis
astrous blaze last Monday morning
when nearly all the buildings on the
main street of the town were DESTROYED,
including a three story hotel. 1t was
impossible to check the fire owing to
poor frehghting facilities, and for a
time the Southern Pacific depot and
much other valuable property was in
danger.
The loss is estimated at about $50, 600.

Two interesting games of basket
ball were played at Turner hall Fri
day evening. The game between the
high school first team and the Cy-

The Cyclones played a good clean
game which was a decided improve
ment over the game played last fall
but was entirely too slow for the
high school which has been making
rapid improvement each week. The
Clark school boys defeated the second
high school team by the decisive
score of 20 to 12, playing in good
form and showing their superiority
in every point of the game. The Sec
ond team and the Cyclones were
somewhat handicapped by an acci-

games. Some Of the boys were run

OBSERVATIONS

Apropos OF the winter spell the
past week it is in order to repeat the
representations of a weather prophet
of Meeker, who, in a story replete
with sensations concerning the hunt
ing of bears, says that kind of game
seem more plentiful this season, are
fatter, and their tails shorter-indi-
eating a hard winter.

According to Census Mortality Bull
letin No. 104, it is estimated that
from 100000 to 100000 babies under
five years of age die in the United
States annually from preventable
causes. There must be some mistake.
No parent wishes a child to die, no
matter how many they may have. To
assume that deliberate neglect was
the cause of these fatalities is very
monstrous charge. No one becomes
i'll from choice, unless they are
deliberate lunatics. And no one cares
to ferry the silent waters unless they
are crazy. There should be more cir
cumspection in these reports. No,
they did not die from preventable
diseases. They were carried off by a
trouble greater than the help of hui

negotiations for the system to be
operated between Philadelphia and
Atlantic City. The principle of the
thing originated in the gyroscope, a
top which spins when held at
right angles to a perpendicular. 1t

on practical basis is yet to be de-
