County Judge a, B. Owen has
advanced q plan whereby the
county home which is 80 pressing
a need in Bates county may be
built without any increase what
ever Of the Indebtedness to the
county. III.
Judge Owen believes that the
present residence building, now
situated upon the present site OF
TIE county farm should be util-
lied as d home for the caretaker,
or superintendent Of the county
home, and expresses himself as
confident that the balance Of the
funds derived from the sale of
the old county farm, and the n
surance on the building which
was destroyed by fire, will be
ample for the construction Of q
substantial six. or eight room
building Of brick or stone
equipped with the modern con-
veniences, ample in every way
to house and care for the coun-
ty s unfortunates.
There is no question but that it
is the matter Of a very short time
until the county will be forced to
take steps to more satisfactorily
meet the pressing demand for
pauper aid, and the logical solu-
ton to that problem it is gener-
ally conceded is a county home.
The present manner Of support
ing our unfortunates in the Cass
county home, at Nevada and in
boarding houses and private
homes throughout the county lis
both expensive to the county and
most inconvenient.
The dwelling house now occu-
pying the county farm, which it
was the original intention to dis
pose Of, is commodious six
room house and is in a most ex-
cellent state of repair, and while
it is a question if it could be re-
placed for $500, it is very
doubtful if it could be sold for to
exceed $500. The utilization Of
this building for the superintend-
ent according to Judge Owens
ideas would greatly simplify the
construction of the home proper,
and allow it to be built with but
the idea of housing the inmates,
thus working a great economy in
both space and arrangement, the
plan being, to SO construct the
that should in the
future the occasion demand it
rooms could be readi-
~ added with no loss to the beau
ty or the convenience of the
structure.

WARNING
TO PARENTS.

The distressing scenes on south
Payne street yesterday afternoon
which resulted in the fatal burning
OF an e:eht-year-old boy, should be a
warning to parents who thoughtlessly
allow their children to make or play
around fires others have started in
The streets. About this time of the
year, when the leaves have blown
from trees and lie in the streets, It
is the wont of little ones to gather
and amuse themselves around bon
fires, made from pyramids of leaves.
This diversion is inGu:ged in all over
the city. Attention has often been
called to the practice. After the
leaves have been consumed little ones
in some sections continue the sport
by collecting combustibles and ignit-
ing them, often when winds are MAX
ing the flames menace to property.
The policemen always scatter the
groups of children gathered around
such fires, and extinguish them. but,
of course, policeman cannot be up
on every square; hence parents should
act as auXiliaries and see that their
children are not engaged in such
dangerous acknowledgements to
themselves and others.
The sad fate of the little boy on
south Payne street may prove tenn
porary deterrent to children, male
and female, OTTER of tender years,
who stand around street fires. Some
Of their mischisvous playmates are
not always contented with watching
the fires, but occasionally push each
other into or close to the flames

samples of the absurdities that have

apace. Among the bills reported as
introduced in various assemblies are
those prohibiting the exhibition by
any merchants OF a clock which is

Thoughtful people complain of the

could avoid disrespect for such laws,
and how few can or will discriminate
between wise laws and foolish when
both are of equal authority. And the
mischief does not stop there. With

inevitably increase. 1t, is said by an
investigator Of repute that Of the
