The city firemen met in their regu !
ar monthly meeting last night at the
council chamber and their customary
routine of business was gone through.
Before the meeting hael progressed
very far, it was turned into a smoker
by tho arrival on the scene of a big
box of cigars presented to the boys
for their quick work in preventing a
serious conflagration at the redidencc
of Frank Cummins a short time ago.
The treat greatly pleased the fire boys
and they got busy with tho weeds
until tho atmosphere looked like they
might have been called to the place
for duty. Mr. Cummins, token of
appreciation of tho firemen was the
big hit of tho evening and before the
meeting was adjourned tho boys un
animously gave him a vote of thanks
for his remembrance of them.

Peanut Stand Makes Trouble.
A little squabble ensued last even

man and a prominent oall leader
that threatened for awhile to disturb
the harmonious, and peaceful condi
tion of the base ball situation m our
city. Hie trouble arose over tnc
placing of a peanut stantl at tlic ban
grounds by, local confectionery man.
The newspaper man had his idea of
the slant! ns well as did the ball fan,
and before the argument was set
tled there was some mixing that look
ed like bent countenances would re
sult before the dust hnd cleared.
However, things were squared up
without any lives being lost but it
remains to be seen whether the man
will sell his peanuts and chewing gum
at the location he desired near the
