The poor sinners bell is bell
in the city of BIeslau IN the
province of Silesia. Prussia, and
hangs in the tower of one of the
city churches. 1t was cast July
II. 1886, according to historic
records. 1t is said that q great
bell founder of the place had
undertaken to make the finest
church bell he had ever made.
When the metal was melted the
founder withdrew for few
moments, leaving a hoy to watch
the furnace and enjoining him, not
TO NEEDLE with the catch that held
the molten metal. but the boy dis.
obeyed the caution. and when he
saw the metal flowing into the
mold he called the founder.
The latter rushed in and,
seeing, as he thought, his work OF
weeks undone and his masterpiece
ruined, struck the boy a blow that
caused his immediate death.
When the metal cooled and the
mcld was opened the bell was found
to be not only project. but of
marvellous sweetness Of tone.
The founder gave himself up to
the authorities was tried and con-
demned to death. On the day Of
his execution the bell was rung to
call people to attend church

happy mans roul, and from that 1t
obtained the name of "the poor

MORE FIRE. APPARATUS NEEDED.

The fire near the center Of the
business section on the south side
of the Southern Pacific track
Thursday night disclosed tie lick
Of FIRE fighting facilities in the
business part of town. At
present the hose houses are located
in the eastern part of town, quite
a distance from the business
center. This leaves the western
part of town without any
facilities for squelchirg a fire
before it gets well under way.
AS the present hose houses are
we'll located for the eastern part
of the town, we suggest to the
town hoard that aonther hose, cart
hose and other apparatus Re
purchased and another hose house
be built ne dr. the center of the
business district. A good location
for the hose house would be on
the Southern Pacific right of way
near the crossing by the pas
senger depot. The railroad com
Dany would probably grant the
necessary permission if the matter

The Western Pacific engiaes
scatter a great many sparks. some
of which are liable to set on fire
the old buildings along the track
in the business section. This
makes another hose house and fire
fighting apparatus necessary to
the safety of property in the
western part of town. ,...
We call the matter to the atten.
ton of all parties interested and
suggest that something be done.
