HOSE COMPANY is NO MORE.
Monaghan Hose Company Shared
Dividends and Disbanded Friday
Evening.

The Monaghan Hose ,COtrpanv.
once an active organization in this
city for the fighting and prevention Of
fire, is now thing of the past-the
last rites and ceremonies being per-
formed over the defunct institution at
a meeting held Friday evening in Mr..
r. S. Hoods office.
There was full attendance Of
members at the meeting and of many
wh-ce membership has ceased to be
active for number of years, but they
all came together to pay treir re-
spects, for the last time, to the once
honored organization. The funds on
hand were used in paying up the few
small debts which were placed against
the organization and the rest was
shared out, Git was a small part that
each member got.) among the mem
bers.
From now on the fire department in
Sumter will be a city organization and
will be managed by the city, steps to
this effect having been practically
| taken several months ago when Capt.
P. P. Finn was placed in charge of
the fire house and apparatus, and
cOnsummated a little later when The
city bought out the fire apparatus be-
! longing to the Monaghan Hose Com
| pany. The name, while it has not
been officially decided upon yet, will
probably be the Sumter Fire Depart
ment, the Game Cock City Fire. De-
partment, or some such designation as

Salt Lake City, Aug. 14.-Which
is the better: To spend $12,00O,OO0
in building a battleship like the
North Dakota and continue to send
s1,000,O00 after~t each year for the
upkeep and operating expenses or
to use that sum on forest reserves,
arid lands, good roads, the merchant

mercial harbors?
This subject will be discussed by
President David Starr Jordan of Le-
land Stanford university at the forth
coming Mississippi congress
which will be held in Salt Lake City,
Aug. 27-3O, in his address "The Case
Against War; Following his speech
the floor of the convention will be
thrown open to debate.
Numerous peace advocates propose
to take advantage of this privilege
and are now loading up on statistics
to scatter them in the "open forum
Of the West Advocates for univer-
sal peace propose to point to the fact
that the United States spent on pre-
paration for war in 1911 the sum of
$2S3,O86, 100000.
During the same year the country
failed to build needed public roads,
public buildings, and also failed to
stamp out many preventable diseases
among animals and men. She has al
lowed 500 people to be driven from
their homes by preventable floods.

WILL SELL MOOSE HEADS.

st. Paul, Aug. 14.-The state game
and fish commission has for sale
twenty-one bull moose heads, guar
anteed to give satisfaction to the most
ardent supporter of the Progressive
party. They will be sold by H. A.
Rider, executive agent, at the state
capitol, for SIS to $3.50 each, first
come, first served.
Word from the East that the sup
ply of bull moose heads has become
exhausted prompts Mr.. Rider to offer
succor to those who must have moose
heads to be happy. The heads were
mounted by the commission after be-
ing seized by wardens who found the
animals in the possession of hunters,
out of season.
The prospects are good for moose
hunting in the north woods this win
ter, according to reports of game war
dens.

the state is entitled to one boy in this
group and Alex won the contest in
Beltrami county.
Mr.. Everywind is seventeen years
old and has been raised on the Red
Lake Reservation. At present he is
enrolled in the Indian school at Po-
nemah and has just finished the sixth
grade. His composition on "Our
Farm Home" which was published
recently in the Pioneer, was selected
by judges as the best written on that
subject.
Alex Everywind has the distinc-
ton of being the only Indian lad who
will be in the boys camp at the fair
and also has the distinction of being
the first Indian boy in this county
to win over the white boys in COM
position contest. His case is attract
ing public attention all over the state.
At the fair, the boys will be given
opportunity to see everything and on
their return to their homes will be
asked to write on what they saw and
learned. AS prizes for these second
essays, the fair management will give
away lot of young live stock of pure
blood. If Everywind wins out in
the state contest also, it should prove
that the Indian schools are not vast
ing their time.
