Fire Protection Day.

Governor B. F. Carroll has set
aside Wednesday, Nov. 1st, for OBJ
servance as Fire Prevention Day, to
be devoted to the inspection of prop
erty and to making such prepara-
lions and improvements as will best
prevent the occurrence of fires. Gov
ernor Carroll earnestly recommends
that upon that day the teachers in
our public schools and educational
institutions give special attention to
the causes, prevention and dangers
of fires; that especial attention be
given to the safety of children who
may attend school; and, along with
other important recommendations,
that the mayors and councilmen of
the cities and towns give special at
tention to the matter of better build
ing regulations, better fire protec-
ton and better fire prevention, and
that they see to it that all public
buildings which are not properly
equipped with fire escapes and suit
able exits, be so equipped; that the
owners of property give personal at
tention to the removal OF all rubbish
and debris from their premises and
to the setting of their heating ap-
planes and chimneys in proper con-
dition for winter use.

Accident Almost Proves Serious.

Last Tuesday afternoon Tyler
Hunt, one of the pioneer residents
of this vicinity, while doing some
carpenter work at the home of c. r..
Williams, allowed broadaxe to slip
and cut a cash in his left leg just
above the knee cap. He bound it
up as best he could and went on with
his work, but soon realized that
something should be done for it, and
started for town to have it properly
dressed. AS he came down town he
became faint, and had to rest once
or twice, and finally had to be as
sisted to the Office of Drs. Jewell,
where he became unconscious and
saline solutions had to be injected to
revive him, after which the wound
was dressed, and he has since been
getting along nicely.

DENY WALSH PAROLE.
Name of Chicagoan Passed Over by
Board of Parole.

Leavenworth, Kan, Oct. I'm the
first list of paroles granted by the
federal board of parole a its last meet
ing the name of John r. Walsh, the
Chicago banker, does not appear.
Either ten or eleven men, at least
two of whom were bankers, have been
ord cred released, it is understood
Walshs hearing came before some
of the men who are to be paroled, it
is understood AS the cases are taken
thought to be an unfavorable sign for
Walsh.
Chances seem Doubtful.
1t is possible, of course. for the
board still to pass on Walshs case,
but the fact that it has been passed
over once without favorable recon-
mendation makes the outlook more
discoura ging for the former banker
and his friends.
The bankers who are to be paroled
are said to be from Indiana Five IN
diana bankers. Max P. Emmerich and
ger of Fort Wayne, J. H. Phillips of
Terre Haute and F. H. Nicolai Of Au
burn, all five-year men, made appli-
cation for parole at the last meeting.
Releases Friday or Saturday.
All of these men are said to have
been model prisoners and their
chances for release were thought by
many to be favorable. All of these
prisoners pleaded guilty on the same
day, November %, 1903. and were sen
fenced by Judge Anderson five days
later. They came to the penitentiary
in a body. 1t is improbable that any
of the men will be released before to-
morrow or Saturday. lit is necessary
for their parole papers to arrive here
and first friends to vouch for them
before they can leave the prison.
The Indiana bankers all were influ-
entail men and strong influence was
brought about to obtain their releases
