She closed the door and returned in ten

This illustrates the perils which en-
yiron those who dabble in gasoline.
There are many people who handle it
as carelessly as they would kerosene.
We know it, for every few days there
is a report Of some fatal accident.
There are ordinances, which are con-
tinually broken, regulating its storage.
There should also be a school Of instruc-
ton for those who use it.

Gasoline and Ignorance.

The other day Chicago woman,
wishing quick fire, poured some gaso-
line on the fuel in the stove. Then she
put down the can in far corner Of the
room. Then she struck match and
started the fire. Like flash the gaso-
line in the can exploded and she was
fatally injured. She did not know that
gasoline has to be handled much more
carefully than gunpowder, and that an
unseen grain of gasoline vapor might
lead straight from the match she struck
to the comparatively distant can.
Take another case, not Chicago

Public School Notes.

The reports of the graduates of the
Mineral Point high school who were
away attending school last year are
exceptionally good. Our high school is
judged, not so much by what the in
spectors see and hear when they visit
US, as by what our graduates do when
they go away to school,

Fox, catcher; Jacka, Bird b; Temby T;

rs'he boys deserve great deal Of
credit for their playing the past two
Saturdays. Credit must also be given
to those who report for practice night
after night with little hope of being
placed on the regular team. They are
helping to win the game by giving the
boys the practice they need.

House Burglars.

Some time after the noon of last
Thursdays night burglar or burglars
(the indications are that there was only
one) entered the home of Robert
James, in the third ward. Without
disturbing any one the thief succeeded
in taking Mr.. James pants from
chair which was stationed close to the
side of his bed. The pants were taken
into another room and relieved of about
$500 A watch was left There being
no other disturbance of household eff
fects, it is surmised that something
happened to scare away the thief
The same night the residence of Mrs.
VIM Lanyon was visited and edibles
purloined from a refrigerator stationed
on the rear porch.
Other residents Of that ward report
night providers within the past week.

Why Not7

1t is generally understood that to
meet the expense, which is heavy. of
the Improvement Of High and Com
merce streets, now in progress, proper
ty owners along one side pay one-third,
those on the other side one-third by
special assessment and the city the
other third by general tax.
Some Of our liberal and thoughtful
taxpayers who have not been caught in
the Special net have advanced the
suggestion that it would be no more
than reasonable, and in fact equitable,
if those who have been thus specially
assessed for the improvement were
omitted in the apportioning Of taxes to
be raised by the city to meet said re-
naming third.
WHY not?

POLICEMAN MORROW IS DISMISSED
Council Finds That Charges Against Him For Bad Language Were Proved-Did Not Appear at the Hearing-Two Witnesses Testify.

acted as a prudent citizen. There were other things improper and unbecoming an officer that the po- liceman said, declared MT. Butts. He took exceptions to the police commits sioners, who, he said. he didn't care anything about He mentioned one commissioners name and spoke about him in a discourteoJs manner.
 Attorney Kelly at first insisted upon knowing why Mir. Butts came to head quarters, but later withdrew his ques- ton not desiring to go into private matters.
 Policeman Morrow Not Present.
 Attorney Kelly said that Mir. Morrow was not present and no defense was offered. He said he didn't consider the offense severe enough to warrant a dismissal, as it is not serious to- use profane language. and he thought a supension sufficient.
 The rules of the department requir- ing civil and respectful department of a policeman at all times were read by the mayor, as were several sections relating to the requirements of a po- liceman, for the diSobedience of which any policeman may be dismissed In toxication Wilful dIsobedience and vio- lent, coarse and insolent language were among the causes.
 Attorney Kelly thought there was provocation. and Corporation Counsel Tanning said if there was provocation Mir. Morrow should appear and state il. He didn't offer any recommendation to the council, but said that no matter what the provocation a policeman should not use profane or dtsrespectfui language.
 Attorney Kelly thought it a well known fact that policemen here ana elsewhere use profane language and lose their temper. but Mir. Tanning said he never knew of a single in stance and should be dumfounded to know our police have any such record.
 Resolution of Dismissal.
 A resolution was presented by Alder man Gebrath and adopted. It found that the charges against Policeman Morrow had been proven and he was ordered dismissed and removed from the police force.
 Before the vote was taken Council man Baker asked if the accused had ever been before the board before and was told that he had previously been suspended. It being the second time, he said. he had nothing 10 say. K Alderman Mclaughlin thought the said he would agree to that statement if it was the first offense. but it is the second.
 Mayor Thayer told of the previous suspension and said that if there are others guilty there should be fur ther investigation He thought he should have been suspended on the spot.
 Vote Was to 4.
 The vote when taken. the police com n;issioners not being allowed to nar- ticipate, stood to 4 in favor of dis YnissaI. Those in favor were Alderman Gebrath and Beckley and Councilmen Barry, Fowler and Lang. Opposed were Alderman Mclaughlin and Coun- cilmen Baker, Cruthers and Williams The resolution was adopted.
 That completed the business and the meeting adjourned soon after o'clock.

 Clerk Moore read the complaint, which charged Policeman Morrow with saying "Go to hell- and Damn you'' to George c. Butts on October g. After the hearing was declared open, Mayor Thawer asked if MT. Morrow was present or represented, and Attorney Kelly said he had been asked to take charge of the matter.
 Talk in Police Station.
 Captain George B. Linton was called as the first witness, and testified to be- ing on duty when Mr. Morrow made the statements alleged. He heard MT. Morrow talk to Mir. Butts. MT. Butts came into the police station and asked to have woman outside arrested. Co., ing there, he found Mir and Mrs. Nor row, and MT. Butts said she was the woman Captain Linton started to tell that Mrs. Morrow complained of see ing MT. Morrow and Mrs. Butts near the theater but he was asked as to what language MT. Morrow used to Mir. Butts He declared that Police man Morrow called Mr. Butts a cur and told him ito go to hell, for if you're in hell I can't see you" There was more talk in the station, where Mir. Morrow used the same language in an emphatic manner.
 He told Mr. Butts to make a com plaint and see what he could do. He said everyone about Lincoln avenue had been trying to get him off the force. He said he would be at the Morrow said We could go to Panama and have a good time if she had all the money that belonged to her" He claimed the complainants wife came to him on the street.

 Councilman Barry asked if the po- liceman was in uniform and was told that he was not. that he wore his coat and badge of the uniform.
 Corporation Counsel Planning pre- sented the complaint to the police commissioners signed by Mir Butts, which alleged wilfuI and improper lan- guage.
