at the West End school building and

a great deal of fun.

Work of Incendiary.

The store of Mr.. j. N. Hall, just
beyond the northern city limits, came
near being destroyed by fire last
Friday night. The store was robbed
and then set on fire. When Mr.. Hall
went in Saturday morning he found
fire smouldering in a box of waste
paper and the wall blackened. The
floor and the paper in the box hao
been saturated with kerosene before
the match had been applied. The only
thing that saved the building was the
fact that the paper in the box and
the floor around was impregnated
with salt, caused by the nearness of
the meat box. The burning salt
caused the fire to smother after the
kerosene had burned. But even so,
it was a very narrow escape, for the
wall was scorched black to the cell
ing. Quite good deal of groceries
had been removed from the building
by the burglar.

question of increasing by $4,000 the
bond issue for the water works sys-
tenn. Those in favor of the issue
were 251, while the total vote cast
in opposition was but %, giving an
overwhelming majority in favor of
the Increase. Those familiar with
the condition knew that the increase
was imperative, for on more than
one occasion the water has been SO
low as TO cause serious danger to
the city, to say nothing as to the
health of the citizens. 1t is under

This great honor has come to him

The administration of justice is great
calling and demands the highest type
of ability, fearlessness in the dis
