Assistant Fire Marshal Joseph
Waidelich told the story today, look

phalt of Quincy street where the neat
waves bounded and rebounded be-
tween the walls of the fire station and
the Chamber of Commerce building
across the street, and the thermometer
on the wall jazzed and jiggled in the
nineties.
The Rock Island passenger station
caught fire-the upper story and the
attic, at 1884 o'clock on the night OF
January 81, 1908.
The fire made good Roadway before
we could get there. There was film
of ice overlaid with snow, on the
streets, and the horses-those were
the days before automobile apparatus
slipped and staggered and fell on the
glaring ice. The apparatus skidded
and swung and handled pretty wild.
The flames were up in the slate roof

the ground so slippery that we could

So two of us had to lie down in the

The allegation that the Central
college of Osteopathy, of Kansas City.
No, is not recognized by the state
board of osteopathic examination and
registration as a medical college of
good repute, was made by the board
to day in an answer filed in the Shaw
nee county district court following an
alternative writ of mandamus issued
by Judge James Mcclure instructing
the board to accept the application of
Mss Mary H Brewer, a graduate of
the college. When the state board had
refused to examine her, she petitioned
the district court for the writ, which
was granted. The board now claims

cause it issues both a degree of doc
tor of osteopathy and doctor of medi-
cine at the end of a four year course

The following truths were TAX
en- from a contribution in the
Lebanon enterprise: So many
times unhappiness is brought to
children which could so easily be
avoided. They are often made
to suffer untold misery through
no fault of their own. When
childhood is the only time when
they will be absolutely carefree
and happy itIseems.a shame that
any of those previous moments
should be taken from them un.
necessarily. Even parents many
times overlook this-parents
who in later years would give SO
much to clasp their children in
their arms-children who have
grown up and left the old family
circle to form homes of their
own-children:who can never be
mothers babies" any more be.

far from the fold flreside. Bear
this in mind, mothers and ia.
theirs, and when the time comes

back at your children's childhood
and know that it was a happy
one.

every voter, both men and wom-

at the November election. This
will be the only year they will
have to register, as one time will
be sufficient for all time to come
1t is, therefore, very important
that every male voter and every
female voter register. If you
should overlook registering and
go to the polls at the November
election you would not be allow
