much work for buildings in DEBORAH

bank building, he was the architect

Capacity Ba.ng Doubled by Installa.
ton of Duplicate Equipment.

Work commenced on Thursday up
on the installation Of a complete du-
plicate equipment at the plant of the
DEBORAH Gas Company near the Ice
Cave Mills. The new equipment con-
sists of a new boiler and generator
duplicates of the present equipment
which will enable them to give much
better service in the future. Hereto
fore if repairs were necessary ID any
part of the equipment the plant could
not be shut down without shutting
off the supply of gas, but wi the
new outfit either of them may De OPP
Grated in manufacturing gas while
the other is repaired. The rapid in
crease in the business of the com
pany necessitates the additional
equipment.

THE FIRE ALARM.
New System Partly Installed. Other
Propositions to Aid i'm Fire
Fighting.

The new fire alarm system for De-
corah is now in operation so far as
the city hall bell is concerned, and
the ward indicators in the various
hose houses are being installed as
fast as possible. 1t is the intention
of the city council to try this one bell
and if it cannot be heard in all parts
of the city, bells will be installed in
the other wards, operated in con-
junction with this one from the cen
trail office, so that the alarm will be
adequate. One tap of the bell is Civ
en- each day at noon, to test out the
system from the central" office, SO
as to be certain that it is in proper
working order.
In this connection it may be stated
that members of the council have
been considering the purchase of an
auto truck, for use by the city in
street work, for general hauling, and
in case of fire to get the hook and
ladder truck and hose carts to the
fire as quickly as possible. Large
sums of money are paid out yearly by
the city for teaming, etc., which could
be done by this truck, and it could be
kept at the city hall at night, where it
could be started in an instant and the
apparatus and firemen taken to fire
quickly. AS it has been, the firemen
who run with the carts to the fires
are exhausted and in no condition for
work when they arrive. 1t is believed
that it would be saving to the city
and pay for itself in short time.
Another proposition which has been
considered by members of the coun-
Gil is to fix up living rooms on the
third floor of the city hall, where per-
haps half dozen of the firemen not
living in their own homes could have
their room rent free, and be on hand
for quick work at night in case of
fire.

THE LOST HOPE.

All Palzer is beaten, McCarty is king.
The hopes we fostered lie dead.
Great Iowas son had no place In the
ring;
He was punched to fragile, they
said
We believed for a while that the
giant would stick
With Missouri's gay cow-punching
pug,
For his frame was quite massive, his
neck it was thick,
And he wore fierce look on MS
mug.
We hoped the big fellow would come
to the front
And stretch rival pugs on the lawn;
But we found that while there's
will there's won't
And his brains didn't equal his
Drawn.
Eighteen rounds Palzer fought des-
pite punch after punch
Landed hard by McCarty, old top,
Then the referee, Eyton, was seized
by bunch
That the farcical battle should
stop.
That the better man won no one
cares to deny,
That the Iowan's out is quite true.
Palzer took what he got without max
ing reply,
And he stuck with the victor like
glue.
But the story is old and our fond
hopes are dead;
Little Albert took punches galore.
But it's not taking blows, but to land
them instead
That makes champs, as we told you
before. H. p j..

and since that time has been ringing
