G. DOVEY BE CAREFUL OH THE FOm OF JULY Deputy Fire Commissioner Gives Another Warning to People of Cities and Towns. Chief Deputy Fire Commission er G. A. Randall of Nebraska has recently sent out a circular letter to the olllcials of cities, officers of Commerical clubs and other per sons, calling the attention of the people to the (lrc losses annually suffered by the communities throughout the United States, calling the fire loss "our national folly." Among some of the startling facts stated is that in the United States the annual per capita fire waste is estimated at .$2.51, and in Europe at only 33 cents. "Un fortunately no sense of the crim inality and immorality of need less lire waste has yet moved us." Mr. Randall states that the average annual fire loss in the United States for five years, end ing with 1907, was $252,000,000, and the losses for 1908 aggregated over $200,000,000. We burn up 8500 worth of property every min ute, day and night, as shown by government statistics. Could this have been avoided is the question for us to solve. Did it happen by carelessness? A carelessly thrown match, care b'ssly used gasoline, in filling a stove, cleaning clothes, careless 'use of kerosene, lighting a fire, upsetting a lamp etc., defective Hues, stovepipes passing through wooden partitions, lace curtains blowing across lighted gas jets, children allowed to play with matches or bonfires, stoves placed Joo near unprotected wall, care lessly thrown cigar or cigarette stubs, old waste and rubbish al lowed to accumulate around cel lar ways or in coiners of halls, public buildings and private dwellings. These are only a few f the causes of careless fires. Experts say that over 50 per cent of the fire waste could be pre vented with a small degree of care. Mr. Randall asks for the co operation of every citizen in the state to act as a special inspector, to look over their town and report lo tln proper authorities on in tlammable or dangerous condi tions found to exist.

Henry Shoemaker and John Uye, also Henry Thiele and John Wundcrlich, all from near .Nehawka, composed a parly that passed through lMallsnioulh yes terday via the automobile route for Omaha. After spending the day in the metropolis they returned home, again passing through this city, and slopped for a few mom ents' visit with county seat friends. In conversation with Mr. Shoemaker, he tells us that in all his life he has never seen better roads from his farm to Platts mouth than they are at the pres ent time, but he cannot say so much of their condition after crossing the Platte river on to Omaha. This road is, however, receiving a great deal of work at the present time. This certainly proves that the farmers of Cass county are up and coining for the "good roads" proposition and are doing their share to keep them good. Most all the farmers are looking after the drag now and it is sure telling work. A sprained ankle may as a rule be cured in from three to four days by applying Chamberlain's Liniment and observing the direc tions with each bottle. For sale by F. O. Fricke & Co. Will Wed Soon. One of IMattsmouth's prosper ous young merchants was seen visiting the office of the county judge this morning, having with him the required number of wit nesses to make a binding con tract of marriage. As far as the record discloses today no license was issued, but the Journal read ers may not be surprised to see the young man's name in the list of the married about Monday next. We have no authority lo announce the marriage or we should do so, but it is hardly fair not lo give the gentle reader a tip that some thing may be expected Monday. When your child has whooping cough be careful to keep the cough loose and expectoration easy by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as may be re iiuired. This remedy will also liquify the tough mucus and make it easier lo expectorate. It has been used successfully in many epidemics and is safe and sure. For sale by F. G. Fricke & Co. Lose Little Babe.
