1.-THE CITIZEN OF
Tomorrow" BY
PROF. JACKSON

Very interesting services were held
at the First Congregational church
Sunday evening, when a choir OF E.
leven male voices rendered the music
of the evening and Prof. M. II. Jack
son delivered booklet or talk on
the subject "The Citizen of To- NOR
row. The Professor in his address
certainly showed that he had given
especially to the care and training
Of the child from birth TO five years
old He presented many goood sug-
gestions that if ADHERED TO AND
CARRIED out by parents who heard
him would result in great good. His
suggestion that the parents Of to-
day We're not giving sufficient study
and attention to the bringing up of
their children was warranted. He
made it very clear that the child did
not inherit so many tendencies as he
adopted from the manner and example
set before him in his bringing up
from birth to childhood. We agree
with him in many of his statemnts.
Our personal experience has verified
many of his theories of training. "As
the twig is bent and trained, so shall
the tree be-" Prof Jackson's talk
was ex cellent and gave his hearers
many things to think about.

MIDNIGHT FIRE
South Side Home Entirely Des-
tr0ye6.

Fire entirely destroyed the house
occupied by Mr. and Mrs Roy Bag
by on the south side Thursday night.
The fire was discovered a little before
II o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs Bagby had
been down town to a show and upon
returning storted the fire up in the
stove. Shortly after this they re
tired for the night. A little later Mr.
Bagby heard a peculiar noise in the
upper part of the house and discov-
ered> that the room above was in
flames. It is supposed that the fire
was caused by defective chimney.
FURNITURE SAVED.
Almost all of the furniture down
stairs was saved, but all that was
in the upper part of the house was
destroyed. The building itself was
burned to the ground. The furniture
was insured through Burton L. Brown
agency
FIRE COMPANY ARRIVED PROMPT
LY.
The West Side Fire Company made
a quick response to the alarm. They
were at the scene of the fire at a
bout 12:15. Buckets were the only
available means of fighting the fire.
Owing to the material used in the
walls of the building which caused
a dense smoke and poisoning gas,
it was next to impossible to get to
heart of the fire with buckets. Had
it been possible to get a stream of
water on the fire, the firemen be
lieve that the house could have been
saved The house was owned by
George Otto and was worth in the
nefghborhood of $7G0 The house was
insured The interior of the house
was finished with plaster board fast
ened on with tar. This caused a
dense smoke and created a poisonous
gas.

Such action, the rebel chief con-

the revolution and he asserted he
could put 100000 men into the field.

Judge A. M. Crowell at the sugges-
tion OF the prosecuting Attorney.
Mrs. Rolkey was first brought into
court Monday morning following her

Ger residence which is located south

livered them at the Spencer home
she was refused admittance and the
occupants would not open the door
although she pounded for several
minutes. Her husband, she claimed

women but paid no attention to her.
Finally she raped so hard that the
glass in the door broke, which arous-
ed the anger of the inmates who
came to the door and commenced to
quarrel with her. After a few mo-
ments of hot words blows were
struck. .'
In the mean while, Frank Larson,
