Building was full of ministers who were decidedly in favor of the .bill, especially the ninth section, whifch practically gives the people of a towhship or ward local option. i. Stabler says he has never seen the people so thoroughly roused on the temperance que'stion since 1854, when by a fusion movement a State prohibitory law was pa^se.J which lasted six months or until a Democrat Supreme Court decided the 1 iw unconstitutional.

The REPUBLICAN wishes him a safe journey and a happy time at his western post, where the climate is delightful, as it is almost summer the year round.

Henry Hunt's House Burned.

This morning at 3 o'clock Henry Hunt's home, in Blue River township, was burned, with most of its contents. He was up at midnight and lighted a fire in the kitchen to keep milk and other things from freezing. About 3 a. m., hearing a cracking noise, he arose and opened the kitchen door, only to meet a wall of fire. He and his wife succeeded in getting their children out with about a suit apiece, except the little ones, who were carried out without getting their clothes. A sewing machine and bedding for two beds was saved and the rest of the things went up in flames. Mr. H. succeeded in saving his smoke-house, which contained considerable meat. The fire was quite a loss, as he carried no insurance and only owns personal property. Some money was raised here in the city and in the country for the family today. Every family In the county should carry insurance.

A NKAV CITV

Itl

lLDING.

Number ot Our Representative Business Men

Think oi

It.

The REPUBLICAN interviewed a number of our business men this morning on tbe subject of a new city building, aud this is what they say:

E. S. Bragg—If the city is able* to build it I am in for it, as we need some thing of the kind badly. A city building might not pay as an investment, but if we can build one that would be a credit and an honor to Greenti-ld, then go ahead. What we do need, thoimh, and what I am decidedly in favor of, is a sewerage system.

S. White—City buildings should be built from a business stand point. What we want is a city building that would be decent and respectable for a city of this size, and that we are not in a shape to build at present. I do not like the proposed location on North street at all, because it is not where a st.ran2or would see it, ant therefore would not. advertise our city abroad. What we want is broad, clean streets, well kept, handsome buildings, so that people will understand that we are wide awake and progressive. No, never put a city building where you would not be willing to build a business room.

V. L. Early—I am always in favor of public improvement, but I don't believe it is practicable to go in debt for a city building at this time. I go on the theory that it is better to go without some thinf we can get along without, than to contract a big debt which will be a burden to the tax payers for years to come. If the city had the money, I would say all right. But I think the city is carrying as large a debt present as they can.

Ham L. Strickland—I am heartily in favor of anew city building, but don't think it would be to best interests of the city to build on h^i lot on North street. It is not in a public place and would be very inconvenient to the public. I think the building should be west of State street. Anew building would help the city in a great many ways. ,,

W. A. Hughes—It would be a good thing for the city to put up anew build ing, but it should be made a modern building—one in which each city officer could have a private office, and a council chamber which would be large enough to conveniently seat a large audience. I don't think the city lot on North street is a desirable location for the kind of city building that is needed here, but the city is not financially able to do much better at present: still we had better put one there than to not have any.

J. M. Hinchman—I don't think it is best t© build a C'ty building at present. It would be better to put up a school house instead of having to rent one. When we build a city building we must put up one that will meet the demands for years to come. At present I don't think the city can afford to put up such a building.

Arthur Wilkins—Yes, I am in favor of the proposed new city building, but I don't think it should be elected on North street, as it is too much out of the way. The building should be put where it is the most convenient for the general public. The city should put up a building that would accommodate the public as well as the city officers, and also be the headquarters for the fire department. A nice plan would be to have the building near the center of population, as the lower room could be used for a business room—say the postoffice.

Judge Offutt—If the financial condition of the city is such that it can put up a building that the citizens would be proud of and one that would be a credit to the city, I would say, go ahead. I don't know how the finances of the city are, but I don't believe we can put up the kind of a building we should. I don't believe in doing things by halves. When we put up a building let's do it rigt

John Miller—We ought to have it. we need it—The proposed location is central and we need the building. The rents the city is paying will more than pay the interest on a good building and put the fire department in much better shape.

Wm. Drischel—r think the city ought to have a new building. John T. Duncan—L am in favor of a city buildiug We need it, and the rent we are now paying for poor accommodations would pay the interest on a building that would suit us all right.

I. P. Poulson—If we are a city we should have a city building. I Harry Regula—A city building, oh pshaw! What we need is a new school house. "•"v...-

We interviewed number of other geutlemen and will also see more whose opinions in regard to a city building will appear in Wednesday's REPUBLICAN. We also have some views in regard to a cross railroad which will be given to-morrow,
