The City Council has placed q new
form of tyranny over people who have
taken enough interest in their homes
and In their neighborhoods to plant
trees.
This tyranny Is in the form Of an
ordinance intended to create an es.
pionage over public spirited tree plant.
ers and put them to unnecessary ex.
pense.
No tree owner can trim the tree
which he has planted without consult.
ing with salaried official at the City
Hall and securing a permit from him
to do the work.
No tree owner can spray his tree or
otherwise protect It from the ravages
Of insects without consulting with a
salaried Official at the City Hall and
obtaining a permit from him to do so.
No person can plant tree in the
city Of Chicago with consulting with
q salaried ofYicial at the City Hall and
then following the advice given him
by this salaried offlcial as to the kind
Of tree the tree owner must plant and
obtaining a permit to plant the same.
Other onerous obligations are also
placed upon tree owners or prospec-
tive tree owners one Of which pro
hibits the planting of any tree within
25 feet of another tree. This shuts
out many people with small lots who
want to plant trees in front Of their
homes and prevents owners Of rs foot
lots from planting two trees.
At the same time the ordinance
commands tree owners to trim all
trees when directed to do SO by the
salaried City Hall official.
This salaried City Hall Official Is
known as the City Forester and re.
ceives $4,000 per year for his Job.
The city itself plants no trees on the
streets; appropriates no money for
caring for those that are planted by
citizens and yet forbids the citizen to
care for them himself under penalty.
The maximum penalty for violating
this ordinance creating a Job for q
City Forester at $4,000 per year, Is
800 for each offense.
As the principal offense consists In
people caring for trees that they imag.
ined they owned, It Is no wonder that
over 5000 trees have died In Chicago
since the City Forester" ordinance
went into effect.
As Just said. since people have found
out that they cannot trim their shade
trees without q permit from the city.
over 5000 trees have died In Chicago.

Absentminded Dyer.

Charles Lamb had a friend named
George Dyer who was perhaps the
most absentminded man on record.
1t was Dyer who, leaving Lambs Is
lington home at broad MONDAY,
walked straight into the New river.
He was known to take up coal scut-
tie instead of his hat, to walk home
with footman's cockaded hat on and
even to leave one Of his shoes under
the table and get we'll on his home
ward way before discovering his loss.
He called at a friends one morning,
heard that the family was away in
the country, left his name In the
visitors book, and few hours later
called again, asked for the book again
and was astonished to see his own
freshly written name. Once, when
Proctor breakfasted with him, Dyer
forgot the tea. The omission being
noted, he filed the teapot with ginger.
Proctor left as soon as he could to get
a better breakfast at coffee tavern,
and there Dyer strolled In and asked
him how he did, quite unconscious Of
having seen him earlier.

MARION BANK HOLDS
ANNUAL MEETING
Declare Usual Dividend. Retained
Same officers, Raising Salary
oil Cashier and Assistant

At a meeting of the Stock
holders and Directors of the
Marion Bank last week declar-
ing the usual dividend, the In
stitution that is now in its 23rd
year, was found to be in the
most prosperous condition in its
history. This speaks volumes
for its cashier and officers. Mr..
T. J. Yandal the present cashier
is now entering on his 10 year
in this capacity and the fact
that his salary was raised, but
shows in what esteem he is held
by the officials. An apprecia-
ton of the able assistance of
Mr.. ID. Woods was also shown
by a raise in his Salary, and in
this busy, business world this is
the best mark of value and es-
teen in which men are held by
Masters of finance.
Our banks represent our peo-
pie and if our banks are pros
porous, so are our people. The
prosperous condition of the
banks of Crittenden county to
day is due the fact that the
farmers are enjoying the most
prosperous era in the history of
the county, and so they will con-
tinue to prosper if they try to
conduct their finances as do the
well managed banks of our coun-
ty So.

new RAIL ROAD FOR
MARION.
The Survey Has been Completed TO
Commodore Mines Eight Niles
IRON Town.

With all that has been said and
done it is a certainty that Louis
Vile capitalists will soon build a
railroad through Crittenden
county. The surveyors have
been AT work now for several
weeks and at last they have
completed the task as far as or
dered. The survey accepted eX-
tends to the Commodore mines,
eight miles from Marion. Those
in position to know claim the
road will be extended either tc
to the Ohio river. or pushed
through to Paducah.
The railroad movement has
been quietly worked and but few
really know the intentions of the
promotions. Col. Jno. w. Wilson
seems to be taking a deep inter
est in the movement, but gives
out very meagerly anything
more than it will be built to the
Commodore.
But this is sufficient grounds
for the prediction, that if it |:
built to the great rich Commo'
dore mines, that it will be eX
tended further. So mote it be

FIRE AT MARION MAT
T0ON, FREDON|A
But For Timely Discovery Our Hasl.
ness city Would Have Been In
Ashes Today.

On last Saturday morning at a
little after five o'clock the fear
full cry of fire rang out over
town and in a short time it was
found that the handsome Jenk-
ms block was on fire, but dis
covered in the nick of time, was
put out with but a few hundred
dollars damage.
The fire originated in the Y.
NJ. c. A. rooms on the third
floor and had been burning per-
haps for several hours and the
fact that there was no ventila-
ton or circulation of air to fan
the flames is responsible today
for this nice block and all the
other business houses not being
in ashes. The fire started on the
floor at the door opening into the
Y. M. c. A. rooms, burning the
door completely out with all its
frame and transome and a big
hole through the floor over Nc
Connels barber shop. AS there
are no electric wires where the
fire started and with a clean
floor and walls, with no rubbish
or combustible stuff around it
makes it hard to account for the
cause of its origin. Had the fire
not been discovered just as the
door had fallen to mercy of the
flames the main portion of Ma
rion would now be again in
ashes.
Senator Maxwell and Jno. w.
Wilson with a number of de-
termined fire fighters in some
way got on to the roof as if by
magic and with axes soon cut
through the roof TO meet the
flames with water which was
used freely until every spark was
known TO be extinguished. In
this building is the Record-Press
office on first and second floors,
the Marion Bank, Dave Moore,
Hammers shop, Nc Councils Bar
Der Shop. DR.. NUNS Dental
parlors, Judge J. B. Kevil, and
Judge A. c. Moore's offices, Y.
NJ. c. A. rooms, Yates Bros.
Music rooms, Yates pressing
club room, Ladies Physical Cul-
ture Club and Miss Mary Cam
eron's telegraph Office for the
Postal.
Two of the leading stores of
Tredonia are in ashes and a
heavy loss has been sustained.
The fire broke out in Patter-
sons Dry Goods Store and quick
| " reduced it to ashes spreading
TO Lloyd's Dry Goods Store,
which speedily became a smoking
ruin.
The origin of the fire is un-
known and the loss is very
heavy.
The big stock and implement
barn of Mrs. Alex Woody, of
near Nation, is in ashes this
morning, the work of an incen-
diary. Mrs. Woody had no in
surance and her loss is about
81. 400. 1t contained all of her
corn and hay and farm machin;
cry and implements. 1t was set
on fire about one o clock.
