Outbuilding Burned.'
Thoro was quite a little excitement
in tho south end of town for a few mo
ments yesterday forenoon. It seems
that a son of Bill Hayes aud a neigh
bor's boy had gone into an outbuild
ing to indulge in a quiet smoke. Some
loose papor in tho building became ig
nited mid when the boys tried to make
their escapo they found tho door had
become fastened on the outside. As
thero was no other mod of egress, tho
youths called loudly for help. L. A
Haskius, who was unloading some hay
near by, gallantly rushed to tho res
cue of the boys ami released them.
Others hurried to the scone and by
hard work the fire was prevented from
spreading to other and larger build
ings. Tho burned building was tho
property o L A. Haskins and wo
have not learned whether it was cov
ered by insurance.

Wc Need Lttlit.
People who have occasion to bo
abroad after sundown ciin appreciate
what a blessing an electric light sys
tem would bo to tho city. Thoso dark,
moonless nights bring forcibly to
mind tho necessity for aomo kind of n
stroot lighting system a littlo farther
on when tho spring rains set in and
ono has to wado through sloppy streets
on n d-irk night. Wo need street
lights, and need them badly, and
wliilo wo aro nbout it wo might as
well have tho best and nothing can
comparo either in cheapness or efll
ioncy with electricity for this pur
pose. Furthermore, tho city should own
its own lighting plant. Experience
in other towns has demonstrated that
municipal ownership is tho only sen
sible plan of managing lighting and
water plants. Tho statement of the
llnaucial condition of the city of Rod
Cloud, published last, week, shows tho
city treasury to bo in a nourishing
condition, and that tho affairs of tho
city liavo been ably managed by the
present administration. To add to
tho good work already dono tho coun
cil has called a spocial election for
Tuesday, January 0, to vote upon a
proposition to issuo bonds in tho sum
of $10,000 for tho purpose of establish
ing a municipal lighting plant.
Every proporty owner as well as
every other citizen who has tho wel
fare of tho city at heart should put his
shoulder to tho wheel and work for
tho passage of tho bond proposition.
Tho resulting benefits to tho town
would doubly repay tho outlay.
A fow voters have expressed dissat
isfaction because a special election
was called. When it is taken into
consideration that tho expense of the
election will be lt,ss than ?G0, that
thero will bo no other complications
involved in the election, and that it
will cause a gain in time of three
mouths on the construction work
should tho bonds carry, tho wisdom of
tho council's action can bo plainly
seen.
Work for tho bonds.
Small Blaze In Millinery Store.
A liro which might have resulted
disastrously, had it gained headway,
was startod and extinguished in a very
peculiar manner Christmas day, in
Mrs. Romford's millinery establish
ment. It is supposed that a small
piece of plaster fell upon a box of
parlor matches in such a manner as to
ignite them. Sevoral inflammable
articles nearby, including a map hang
ing on tho wall, wore sot afire, when
another and larger piece of plaster fell
aud extinguished tho bla.c.
City Limits Extended.
Tho city of Red Cloud has Hied a
suit in tho district court praying for
authority to extend the city limits so
as to tako in quite an area of outlying
property which teally belongs within
the city Thero are' seventy-two de
fendants to tho suit, and thero will
probably bo some who will oppose tho
taking into tho city limits of their
property, though it is understood the
majority of them are in favor of tl o
change Tho case will not coino up
until the next regular term of the
court.
Nay Lose an Eve.
